Despite a late rally, defending national champion South Carolina was too much to handle for No. 15 Maryland women’s basketball Monday night, as the No. 4 Gamecocks bested the Terps, 94-86.
South Carolina took control early and didn’t let Maryland back in it until the fourth quarter, when a lead that was once 26 points was trimmed all the way to three in the final minute.
Kaila Charles was a monster, finishing with a career-high 31 points. The sophomore guard took over in the second half, scoring 27 points after intermission and 21 in the fourth quarter.
