COLUMBIA, S.C. — LSU's attempt to give the No. 1 South Carolina Gamecocks their first Southeastern Conference loss in their last 28 contests looked promising late in the game with energetic defensive sequences that led to fruitful offensive possessions, but the women's basketball team came up just short, falling by a 66-59 score inside Colonial Life Arena Sunday afternoon.
The Tigers fall to 8-10 on the season and 6-6 in the SEC, while the Gamecocks move to 17-2 overall and 12-0 in the league.
Redshirt senior Faustine Aifuwa needed three blocks to move into second on the all-time LSU blocks list coming into the game.
