COLUMBIA — Dawn Staley has long hoped for a sellout crowd at Colonial Life Arena. Monday night against No. 1 Connecticut, the head coach of the second-ranked South Carolina women’s team will get it.
USC on Friday announced that the 7 p.m. showdown between the lone two unbeaten teams in women’s basketball is officially sold out. It will be the first sellout crowd ever for the South Carolina women’s team, and the largest crowd ever to watch an NCAA women’s game in the Palmetto State. Colonial Life Arena has a capacity of 18,000.
“I’m tremendously excited for our community, our university and our students that the game is sold out,” Staley said in a statement.
