The year of championships continues for Dawn Staley.
After guiding the University of South Carolina women’s basketball team to the first NCAA Tournament championship in program history, on Sunday Staley got to witness her beloved Philadelphia Eagles win the Super Bowl.
The Philadelphia native watched Super Bowl LII from her room in a hotel in Starkville, Miss., where her Gamecocks will face Mississippi State in a championship game rematch on Monday. As soon as the Eagles’ 41-33 victory over the New England Patriots was official, the celebration began – for the Eagles in Minnesota and Staley from her satellite location.
