No. 3 South Carolina defeated Providence 96-55, led by Tessa Johnson and Madina Okot who each scored 18 points. The Gamecocks' victory was overshadowed by a second-quarter injury to guard Ta'Niya Latson, their second-leading scorer, who left the game with a left foot injury. Coach Dawn Staley had no immediate update on Latson's condition. Despite defensive struggles, South Carolina secured the win with strong offensive performance, while Providence's Sabou Gueye led her team with 16 points.
