MiLaysia Fulwiley could not find her touch from the field in the early going, missing her first two shots in that period. But by the second quarter, she began to assert herself, scoring 10 of her 15 points and dishing out two of her four assists in the frame as South Carolina built a 44-28 lead at halftime.

During the postgame press conference, Fulwiley was asked if she ever surprises herself with the shots she makes.

"Well tonight I kind of surprised myself, she said. "But usually, I kind of expect them to go in and then they don't, so I feel like I just need to go out there and just play and don't think. When I do that, like how I did today, it kind of just goes in."
