No. 1 South Carolina beat No. 4 Indiana 79-75 in Women’s NCAA
(ALBANY, NY) - With South Carolina's perfect season on the line, coach Dawn Staley had total faith that Raven Johnson would make the necessary plays for her team. Johnson did just that hitting a huge 3 pointer in the final minute to help the top-seeded Lady Gamecocks remain unbeaten with a 79-75 over No. 4 Indiana on Friday that moved them into the Albany Regional Final of the women's NCAA Tournament. Johnson's 3 came after South Carolina nearly blew a 22 point lead in the second half. The advantage was down to 74-72 when Staley called timeout to set up a play that was supposed to go to Kamilla Cardoso, who led the team with 22 points. The Gamecocks' star center was being double-teamed when she caught the ball, so she passed it to Johnson for the 3. Indiana was led by Sydney Parrish with 21 points. Yarden Garzon added 16 points and Mackenzie Holmes had 12 points as the Lady Hoosiers end their season at 26-6). South Carolina is three wins away from completing the 10th perfect season in NCAA Division I women's basketball history. Next up for the Gamecocks is third-seeded Oregon State.
