COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Alaina Coates cant imagine a better post duo in the country than she has with South Carolina teammate Aja Wilson.Shell get no argument from Clemson after the two combined for 39 points, 20 rebounds, seven asissts -- mostly to each other -- and six blocks in the sixth-ranked Gamecocks 83-61 victory Thursday night.The high-low is great, Coates said. I mean, weve got the best high-low duo in the nation. The fact is were doing better getting each other the ball.And the overmatched Tigers (8-2) had little chance of preventing it as South Carolina (8-1) won its seventh straight in the rivalry series.They have a ton of weapons and theyre really tough, Clemson coach Audra Smith said. The inside game is impossible to stop.Wilson finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Coates had 19 points and 10 rebounds for her sixth double-double in nine games this season.Wilson and Coates combined for six points when South Carolina came out of the break with a 17-6 run. The Tigers (8-2) could not respond.South Carolinas rivalry win streak ties the longest in series history, matching the run Clemson had from 1996 through 2001. Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley also improved to 4-0 over her former college teammates at Virginia, Clemsons Smith.Wilson added four assists and two blocks while Coates added three assists, two steals and four of South Carolinas season-high 11 blocked shots. Kaela Davis had 17 points for South Carolina.Nelly Perry had 20 points to lead the Tigers. They lost their second in a row after opening 8-0.Clemson was shorted-handed before things started with its two leading rebounders in forward Kobi Thornton and Aliyah Collier limited by injuries. Thornton was out after hitting her head Monday night in loss to No. 25 Oregon. Collier, who averaged 7.9 rebounds this season, played just three minutes because of continuing knee problems.Smith said she expected Collier back for her next game. Thornton, who had returned from a concussion when she hit her head again, could take a bit longer.THE BIG PICTUREClemson: The Tigers started the season 8-0 against non-Power Five opponents. The Tigers, though, have lost their past two to No. 25 Oregon (87-59) on Monday night and the rival, sixth-ranked Gamecocks. While Clemson has improved -- its already doubled its four-win season from 2015-16, it is not yet ready to consistently play toe-to-toe with its better opponents. And there are plenty of those coming up once Atlantic Coast Conference play starts next month.South Carolina: The Gamecocks certainly dont look like the team yet thats rolled to the past three Southeastern Conference titles. Their post duo of 6-foot-5 Wilson and 6-4 Coates are strong and engaged. On the perimeter, though, there are questions. Kaela Davis and Allisha Gray have looked like All-Americans sometimes and been non factors at others. Point guard Bianca Cuevas-Moore has also struggled at taking over the on-court leadership role that Khadijah Sessions handled so well the previous few years.ALL CHANGINGTalk about differing ways to win. The Gamecocks used 16 3-pointers (second best in program history) to blow past Minnesota last Sunday. This time, South Carolina made just four of 14 long-range baskets while relying on its inside advantage to defeat Clemson. Weve got a lot of ways to win, Staley said. Weve got to take advantage of them.HEY, ROOMIEStaley and Smith were roommates for a short stretch at Virginia in the late 1980s until Staleys night-owl tendencies did not mesh with Smiths early-to-bed style. Each sought more suitable people to live with. But theyve remained good friends since college and Staley was impressed with Smiths building program. Im happy for her and the program, Staley said. Even though theyre our rivals, we want to see all South Carolina teams do well.UP NEXTClemson returns home to face South Carolina State on Sunday.South Carolina closes a three-game home stand against No. 9 UCLA on Sunday.

Pressly Stadium.After a scoreless opening half, Savannah Jordan put the Gators on the scoreboard in the 69th minute. The play started when Samantha Chung stepped up to a Tennessee clearance and one-touched it ahead to Jordan just above the box. Jordan and her defender fought for possession as Jordan moved toward goal and her seven-yard right-footed shot scored just inside the near post.The Gators got an insurance goal in the 89th minute when freshman Sammie Betters scored her first collegiate goal. From just above the endline, sophomore Sarah Troccoli sent the ball to Betters who was wide of the top of the 18-yard box. Betters took a touch and then hit a 23-yard shot which curled in at the far post upper corner.Worth Noting: The goal was Jordans eighth of the season. She leads UF in goals and points (23).

When you come off a loss like we had on Thursday, its great to get back out on the field. All we were looking for was a response from the teeam, and I think we got that.ddddddddddddIt was a pretty dominating performance in terms of us being able to keep it and our shots on goal. At the same time, I think Tennessee did a great job keeping us off the board in the first half. I think our team wanted to make a statement, especially because we thought that result on Thursday wasnt who were thought we were. So I think they came out with a little chip on their shoulder to show who we were. - Florida Head CoachBecky Burleigh On Sammie Betters scoring her first collegiate goal: Its funny because at that point in the match we were just trying to keep possession, but obviously she saw something she thought she could exploit. She did and it went right in.Florida Head Coach Becky BurleighOn tonights match... Its great to get a shutout, weve been working towards that all season. Im really proud of how our team collectively played defense together. I also think we had a really good response after Thursday night. We recollected ourselves, and we know were better than a 3-0 loss. So we came out today and played with that passion. We played for each other, and I think it benefited us in the best way.Were going to have another tough one on the road again next week. I think this is a good start to get us back on the right foot and to push forward to the rest of the SEC. - senior forward Savannah Jordan On her first collegiate goal: I looked up and saw the back post was open, so I figured Why not go for it?. It went pretty well, I guess. It was exciting for sure and its great to contribute for the team in any way. - freshman midfielder Sammie Betters ' ' '
