By KEVIN ADAMS
Sports editor
For a while, a long while, it looked
as if the Lady Gamecock basketball
team's perfect record and No. 17 national
ranking were in jeopardy.
Led by flashy senior guard Catrina
McCants' 22 points in the second
half, Southern Mississippi threw a
sizable scare into USC players and
fans alike Monday night at the
^aronna coliseum. But the Lady
Golden Eagles finally succumbed to
he Lady Gamecocks' inside game
ind lost the Metro Conference mat:hup
85-80.
"I'm thrilled to death to win this
?ame," USC head coach Nancy
Wilson said. "I think that Southern
Vlississippi played an excellent
>asketball game. They answered
iverything and more that we would
hrow at them."
With the win, USC improves to
>-0, the best start for a Lady
jamecock squad since 1981-82,
vhen Pam Parson's squad went 10-0
o begin the season. USC is now 2-0
n Metro play.
But it didn't come easy.
Trailing by seven at halftime,
i2-35, Southern Miss came out like
;angbusters in the second half, grab>ing
a 52-50 lead on Alexis Hall's seond
consecutive three-point goal.
After the Lady Gamecocks came
>ack to take a brief four-point lead,
dcCants struck with a three-pointer
o cut USC's lead to one at 56-55
dth 11:57 remaining.
A little more than two minutes
iter, the Lady Golden Eagles, now
-3, had grabbed a 64-60 lead behind
wo more three-point shots from Mc"ants,
who hit all four of her threeoint
attempts in the second half and
inished with 32 points.
That's when Schonna Banner,

Beth Hunt and Lisa Diaz took over.
The trio combined for 22 of USC's'
final 25 points.
Down 68-66, Diaz hit a 14-foot
jumper left of the lane, Hunt scored
on a coast-to-coast layup, point
guard Sherry David hit a short jump
shot and Banner hit a turnaround H
jumper in an 8-0 USC run to give the
Lady (Jamecocks a 74-68 advantage
with 5:57 to go.
Southern Miss then went on a 8-2
run of its own to tie the score at 76
with 3:23 remaining before Diaz and
Hunt hit consecutive jumpers to put
the Lady Gamecocks ahead to stay.
Banner headed the USC attack
with 28 points and eight rebounds,
while Hunt had 23 points and 16 rebounds.
Diaz added 19 points and six ill
assists. Overall, the taller I ady jg5
Gamecocks outrebounded Southern j?|
Miss, 42-25. jjl||
Banner said after the game that
despite Southern Miss' strong showing,
the Lady Gamecocks never lost
their confidence.
"We were telling each other during
the game just to hang in there and ?
not give up because we knew that we 1
could beat them," she said. "This is ((p*
our court, our place, and we knew we
could do it."
Banner was also pleased with her
personal play.
"I think this was my best performance,
and I hope I can keep on performing
like this because if I do, I
think everyone else will pick up."
Wilson agreed.
"I rpallv thruioht that a rpal kpv
J ?O"* v? "?/
player for us tonight was Schonna
Banner, defensively and offensively,"
Wilson said. "Just mentally,
more than anybody, she seemed to be L
