Just over a minute into the third quarter, South Carolina forward A’ja Wilson mirrored her teammates’ ball movement across the floor as she shuffled from one side of the paint to the other. Guard Doniyah Cliney received a pass and immediately spotted Wilson posting up just to the right of the lane. With a lob into Wilson, Florida forward Paulina Hersler abandoned her inside position to take a swipe at the ball.
Hersler missed. Wilson’s layup didn’t.
The play gave the Gamecocks a lead they wouldn’t give up in a 64-57 win over the Gators on Sunday afternoon in Columbia, South Carolina.
