No. 1 South Carolina closed the half well against No. 1 Iowa in the national championship. That was in large part due to a pair of freshmen who helped the Gamecocks to take a three-point lead at the half.
Sania Feagin credited the play of Milaysia Fulwiley and Tessa Johnson off the bench as South Carolina went back to the locker room up 49-46 in the national title game in the NCAA Tournament. She applauded them for making the most of their moments through the first half from Cleveland in the biggest games of their lives
“I love that they’re taking advantage of every opportunity they’re given. They’re attacking, they’re scoring,” said Feagin. “That’s what we need them to do.”
Fulwiley and Johnson combined for 16 points in the first half. Fulwiley three assists, three rebounds, and a block in a productive first half.
As for Feagin, she herself had six points on 60% shooting along with three rebounds and a block. That came off of an effort on the glass that she and the Gamecocks showed to start the game.
“Just trying to rebound every ball and then take that,” Feagin said. “Just trying to clean up every board that’s not going in.”
