Edwards scores 21, surpasses 1,000 career points in No. 3 South Carolina's 88-45 win over Bulldogs

Joyce Edwards scored 21 points and No. 3 South Carolina won its eight straight over Mississippi State with a 88-45 victory on Thursday night. Edwards surpassed 1,000 points in her career, just third sophomore to accomplish that in program history behind Shelia Foster and career-points leader A'ja Wilson — both who've have their jerseys haning in the rafters at Colonial Life Arena. Edwards had nine of her team's first 15 points as the Gamecocks (23-2, 9-1 SEC) opened a double-digit lead in the first quarter and were never pressed by the cold-shooting Bulldogs (16-8, 3-7), who've lost seven of the past nine after starting the season 14-1.
