LEXINGTON, Ky. — Destanni Henderson scored 22 points and Aliyah Boston added 20, including 10 in the third quarter to put No. 4 South Carolina ahead to stay as the Gamecocks rallied for a 75-70 victory over No. 8 Kentucky on Sunday night.

The Gamecocks trailed 41-32 at halftime and 54-46 late in the third before closing the quarter with an 11-2 run, including five by Boston, for their first lead since the opening minutes.

Boston and Henderson then added four points each during an 12-2 spurt to open the fourth that helped withstand Kentucky's late rally.
