Staley, South Carolina celebrate their championship in style
The South Carolina Gamecocks women’s basketball team celebrated their 2024 NCAA tournament championship with a parade in downtown Columbia on Sunday.
On April 7, the Gamecocks capped off their undefeated season with a 87-75 win over the Iowa Hawkeyes. After a slow start, the Gamecocks rallied and had four players finish with double-digit scoring. Freshman guard Tessa Johnson and senior center Kamilla Cardoso finished the game with 19 and 15 points, respectively. Cardoso also had a game-high 17 rebounds to lead the Gamecocks to victory.
