South Carolina women’s coach Dawn Staley won the program’s second national championship on Sunday night after the Gamecocks knocked off UConn 64–49.
After cutting down the nets for the second time in the last five years, Staley said she’s going to continue a tradition started when South Carolina won its first championship in 2017. She said she plans to send a piece of the national championship net to Black coaches across the country.
After sending pieces of the national championship net as a gesture to Black coaches in the women’s game in 2017, Staley is now returning the favor on the men’s side with her latest championship.
