PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas -- Aliyah Boston had 22 points and 15 rebounds to help No. 1 South Carolina beat second-ranked UConn 73-57 on Monday to win the inaugural Battle 4 Atlantis tournament championship.
Trailing by 52-50 late in the third quarter, South Carolina turned up its defense, holding UConn without a field goal for 7:38 spanning the final two periods. By the time Evina Westbrook hit a 3-pointer from the wing with 5 minutes left, the Huskies trailed 63-57. They'd get no closer, as Destiny Littleton quickly answered with a 3 on the other end to restore the comfortable margin.
Paige Bueckers, UConn's sophomore sensation, had 19 points to lead the Huskies, who had won nine of the 10 previous meetings between the schools.
