The #1 ranked South Carolina Gamecocks women’s basketball team led by head coach Dawn Staley, defeated the NC State Wolfpack, 71-57, in the Ally Tipoff. After the win Staley, a Hall of Famer and former star player for the Charlotte Sting (one of the eight original WNBA franchises that began play in 1997 and dissolved in 2007), advocated for Charlotte to host a Women’s Final Four and get a WNBA team.
