COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Zia Cooke had 21 points, Aliyah Boston added 19 points and a career-high 25 rebounds and fourth-ranked South Carolina cleared another significant hurdle in its quest for a Southeastern Conference championship by topping No. 21 Arkansas 91-82 on Thursday night.
The Gamecocks used a stingy defense to slow down Razorbacks star guard Chelsea Dungee, one of the SEC’s best scorers. Dungee racked up 63 points in two games last season against South Carolina but was held in check for most of the game. Dungee began the night 0 for 11 from the field and finished with 14 points.
South Carolina improves to 15-1, 3-0 in the SEC.
