Lewis, De Ridder Help No. 21 Virginia Regroup From 3OT Loss to Beat NC State 76

South Carolina extended its winning streak over Alabama to 24 games with an 83-57 victory in their SEC opener despite key player injuries, coach Dawn Staley said.

  • South Carolina's Gamecocks beat Alabama Crimson Tide 83-57 on Jan. 1, starting SEC play and extending their streak over Alabama to 24 straight wins.
  • Ta'Niya Latson missed the game after spraining her left ankle, Raven Johnson scored 17 points with five assists and four rebounds, and freshman Agot Makeer made her first college start.
  • A 23-10 run in the third put the Gamecocks firmly ahead as Joyce Edwards scored 11 third-quarter points en route to 25, helping USC out-score Alabama 43-23 after the Tide narrowed the halftime gap.
  • Previously unbeaten Alabama Crimson Tide suffered its first SEC loss, ending that run, while South Carolina Gamecocks start conference play 1-0 and Alabama hosts Arkansas on Sunday.
  • Facing injuries and a suspension, South Carolina is short on depth, but Alicia Tournebize, signed last month, is eligible this semester and might be available for Sunday's game at Florida, Coach Dawn Staley said.
