The Gamecocks will face the winner of Stanford and Connecticut in the national championship game on Sunday night.
South Carolina, making its fourth appearance in the Final Four over the past seven tournaments, won its fifth consecutive game to advance to its second NCAA tournament final and its first since 2017, when it won the national championship.“With the awards, I’m really blessed, but my main focus is bringing home a national championship Sunday night, and so I’m just really locked in on that,” Boston said.
“I think it’s a mentality to have every single game,” Beal said of her attention to defense. “You can’t turn it on and turn it off when you choose to. It’s a talent I’ve grown into and just added to since I was a freshman. Especially now you just have to lock in and know what your job is offensively and defensively.”
The margin shrank to six points when Kianna Smith swished back-to-back jumpers and Mykasa Robinson got a pull-up jumper to fall with 46 seconds left in the third quarter. The quarter ended, though, with Boston’s three-point play that grew the lead to 57-48 after she drew a fourth personal foul on Engstler.
“I mean we have to play through her,” Staley said of Boston, who collected the 59th double-double of her career and added four assists. “It doesn’t mean that she has to shoot the ball, but every time she touches the ball she draws a crowd.”
