South Carolina Gamecocks Extend Winning Streak to 41 with Dominant Victory Over Coppin State

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina Women’s Basketball Continues Dominance

The No. 1 ranked South Carolina Gamecocks celebrated a triumphant start to their home season by securing a convincing 92-60 victory over Coppin State on Thursday night. This win marked their 41st consecutive victory, extending their remarkable streak and showcasing their prowess on the court.

A Night of Celebration and Performance

Before the game, the Gamecocks unfurled their national championship banner, commemorating their impressive 38-0 title run last season. Following this celebration, they immediately went to work to maintain their solid start this season, now sitting at 3-0.

Key performance came from sophomore guard MiLaysia Fulwiley, who exhibited her skills by scoring 23 points. Alongside her, Chloe Kitts delivered an impressive performance with 19 points and secured 10 rebounds, marking her second double-double of the season. Notably, Kitts had missed the previous game against No. 13 NC State due to academic reasons.

Game Highlights

While the game started with a competitive edge, where Coppin State briefly held a 16-13 lead late in the first quarter, South Carolina quickly regained control. The Gamecocks responded with a powerful 10-0 run to close out the quarter, demonstrating their ability to dominate when needed.

Content with their lead, South Carolina continued to excel in the second quarter, extending their advantage to an impressive 18 points after a three-pointer from Bree Hall. The Gamecocks showcased their ability to overpower opponents, particularly on the boards, where they outrebounded the Eagles by an overwhelming 51-23.

Coppin State’s Tough Challenge

The loss for Coppin State, now 2-2 for the season, is a testament to the challenges they face this year. The Eagles are adapting to a tough schedule that includes six games against teams from power leagues this season, with three of those being ranked teams. This game marks their second consecutive year facing the reigning national champions, having encountered LSU last season.

Looking Ahead

Coppin State will seek redemption as they prepare to take on Virginia Tech this Saturday. Meanwhile, the Gamecocks will look to build on their momentum as they host East Carolina on Sunday, with fans eager to see if they can continue their impressive unbeaten streak at home.

In summary, South Carolina’s blend of talent and teamwork positions them as a dominating force in women’s college basketball, and their journey this season is set to be closely followed.
