South Carolina won the latest big game against UConn in the NCAA women’s Final Four, and the finish got tense at the end. The Gamecocks held on for a 62-48 win, which snapped UConn’s 54-game winning streak and sent South Carolina to the national title game.

What happened late

  • South Carolina had control much of the night and kept UConn under 50 points.
  • The game got chippy near the end, with a heated exchange involving Dawn Staley and Geno Auriemma after the final moments.
  • South Carolina’s win was especially notable because it avenged its loss to UConn in last year’s title game.
