Point guard Raven Johnson led the way for South Carolina with 12 points, eight rebounds and five assists, adding five steals as the Gamecocks forced 19 turnovers.
"Raven has grown and matured to the point where she knows when she can take some chances," Staley said, according to the Greenville News. "She's always been wanting to put heat on the other team's point guard picking them up down the court, and obviously she got steals today, but the amount of pressure she applies ... I thought she did a great job of disrupting without gambling as much."

The Devilettes have played a daunting schedule to start the season, facing No. 5 Utah and the LSU Tigers, who were No. 1 at the time, to kick off the year.
"It kind of shows my players what we’re up against," MVSU head coach Kimberly Anderson said.
