COLUMBIA — South Carolina women’s basketball didn’t have much production from three of its five starters the first three games of the season.

That changed Sunday.

South Carolina defeated East Carolina 95-44 on Sunday with a bevy of scorers. All 12 players scored, five had 10 or more points, and Raven Johnson, Bree Hall, and Sania Feagin had a season high in scoring.

What was missing previously was offense from Johnson, Hall and the new starting forward, Feagin. Johnson came into Sunday averaging two points, and Hall with 6.3.

That type of team-wide production is essential this season, without former top scorer Kamilla Cardoso, and with UCLA on the horizon (Nov. 24 at 4 p.m.), it’s important for the Gamecocks (4-0) to win games with everyone involved.

Prior to Sunday, the Gamecocks snuck past Michigan by way of Chloe Kitts’ double-double, and beat NC State with Te-Hina Paopao’s career-high 23 points. Then the home opener, MiLaysia Fulwiley had 23 of her own to defeat Coppin State off the bench and Kitts had 19.

“The more we are able to be aggressive and score the ball at multiple positions, the better we’re going to be at as a team,” South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said. “We’re talented no doubt about it, it’s about figuring out what group works well together.”

Feagin’s flow was visibly disrupted in her new role as a starter to start the season. She already logged a season high of eight points by halftime Sunday, a major improvement in three days, as she had four points and four fouls Thursday.

On a fast break, freshman guard Maddy McDaniel worked a beautiful give and go transition game with Feagin. Pao picked off a pass with 8:58 in the first quarter, fed Feagin, who tossed it ahead to McDaniel, then Feagin was ready for the pass right back for a layup.

The play was the type of basketball Feagin hadn’t shown yet this season and Staley needed from her new starter. Feagin finished with 10 points, four rebounds, two fouls and one steal, with a plus 22 rating in her 15 minutes of game action.

“I feel very comfortable,” Feagin said. “I feel like I’m getting it, like the game is coming together.”

Hall hadn’t hit double-digit scoring until Sunday, and previously struggled from behind the three-point line through three games, missing six of her nine attempts. Against the Pirates (2-2) she had 10 points and was 2-of-4 from the 3-point line.

“My god it felt great,” Hall said of her shooting. “I think I was just really pressing to get the ball in and not letting myself catch and shoot, shooting with ease like I normally do. It felt good to see them go down.”

Johnson is still struggling on offense. She is 5-of-28 from the field this season and 0-of-10 from the 3-point line but scored seven points Sunday. McDaniel’s play mirrors Johnson more than any other guard, she speeds up the game productively and can get out in transition with ease. McDaniel finished with three points but a team-high six assists.

It’s helpful for Staley to see that if Johnson continues to struggle shooting the ball, she can put McDaniel in her place and not have the pace, effort and control subside on offense.

The Gamecocks starters combined for 50 points, led by Kitts’ 14. Fulwiley and freshman Joyce Edwards both finished with 12 points off the bench.
