South Carolina leads Buffalo 19-17 at the end of the 1st Quarter. Big news: Saniya Rivers has finally made an appearance in a game, and the first thing she does, is hit her very first shot - a 3-pointer!! Welcome to the Gamecocks, Saniya!!

Otherwise, there's way too many turnovers, but I guess that's just how this team will be this season. 8 turnovers in the opening quarter.....

Kamilla Cardoso added 12 pts. on 6-8 shooting, with 10 rebounds, 6 blocks, and 2 blocks. Victaria Saxton chipped in 9 pts and 7 rebounds, and 2 blocks. A strong effort all all-around.
