COLUMBIA, S.C. – Zia Cooke scored 11 points as No. 1 South Carolina moved five wins away from a perfect season after opening the women’s NCAA Tournament with a 72-40 victory over No. 16 seed Norfolk State on Friday.
The Golden Eagles had a final look to win, but Mackenzie Hare’s 3-pointer went inside the rim and rolled out with a second to play. The Terrapins scored the game’s first 14 points and advanced to face seventh-seeded Arizona on Sunday. Maryland was able to give its top players plenty of rest, with Miller, Meyers and Shyanne Sellers each playing a little over half the game.
The Mountaineers eventually settled in. It was a seven-point game at halftime, and Arizona’s lead was down to three early in the third.
