No. 2 South Carolina cruises to a 90-48 victory in a road game at Coppin State
BALTIMORE -- — Joyce Edwards had 26 points and five steals, and No. 2 South Carolina beat Coppin State 90-48 on Sunday.
The Gamecocks (19-1) made the trip to Baltimore after the Eagles (4-16) played at South Carolina last season. As expected, there was a good crowd at 4,100-seat PEC Arena, although many of the them were wearing garnet in support of the Gamecocks.
Coppin State was down just 22-14 after one quarter, but South Carolina outscored the Eagles 22-5 in the second and it was never close after that.
Tessa Johnson scored 17 points for the Gamecocks, shooting 5 of 8 from 3-point range. Ta'Niya Latson had 15 points, five assists and six steals.
Khila Morris led Coppin State with 20 points.
South Carolina improved to 28-0 against HBCU teams under coach Dawn Staley. It was the fourth time in that span the Gamecocks faced one on the road.
Coppin State has welcomed its share of big-name teams into its arena in recent years, including Maryland in 2021. LSU came in 2023 in what was basically a homecoming for Angel Reese.
The Eagles held their own against the taller Gamecocks on the boards, but South Carolina outscored Coppin State 40-18 in the paint. Thirteen of the Eagles' 30 turnovers came in the second quarter.
South Carolina used 10 players, and all of them played more than 10 minutes.
South Carolina: At Oklahoma on Thursday night.
Coppin State: Hosts Howard on Thursday night.
