South Carolina Falls 79-51 to UCLA in Title Game

The Gamecocks were outplayed, shooting just 29% from the floor in a 79‑51 loss to UCLA. It was the second consecutive year the team fell short in the championship game.

Head coach Dawn Staley’s 15‑year program remains a powerhouse, with key players Joyce Edwards, Tessa Johnson and returning forward Chloe Kitts set to return. The roster also includes a promising recruiting class as the team looks forward to a 2027 Final Four bid.
