The No. 2 Arkansas Razorbacks (24-3, 6-1 SEC) earned a 9-0 win over the Vanderbilt Commodores (20-6, 4-3 SEC) for a shutout victory to open the weekend series Friday evening at Hawkins Field in Nashville, Tennessee.
Arkansas first baseman Cam Kozeal, who transferred from Vanderbilt, doubled his season home run count with two homers in his first game back at Hawkins Field since joining the Razorbacks over the offseason.
Alysa Liu saved her best for last to score 148.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Dawn Staley lit into MiLaysia Fulwiley. It was the third quarter of a close game that could’ve ended South Carolina’s attempt to repeat as national champions and Fulwiley was dying on screens. She was playing behind and giving up easy entry passes with an Elite Eight berth on the line.
If the same situation happened two months ago, Fulwiley “wouldn’t be able to recover,” Staley said. The flashy sophomore guard with the best ability of any Gamecock to manufacture her own shots would have shut down. South Carolina would have gone home early.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Maryland women’s basketball senior Amari DeBerry sat with tears in her eyes, staring off into space. Christina Dalce was talkative and somewhat smiley.
Junior Saylor Poffenbarger silently looked down in her corner locker. Her eyes were puffy and teary, her face distressed and pensive. Other Maryland players, including senior Sarah Te-Baisu, were simply quiet.
The No. 4 Terrapins were sad that they lost the fight to No. 1 South Carolina in the Sweet 16 but proud of the fight they put up against the defending national champions.

INDIANAPOLIS – Tennessee is officially in elite company after demoralizing the heavy Kentucky crowd inside Lucas Oil Stadium on Friday night with a 78-65 victory over the Wildcats. In what many thought would be a tight ballgame inside the home that Peyton Manning built, those folks obviously didn’t get the memo that the ‘Manning Curse’ officially ended in 2022, inside Neyland Stadium.
No, tonight’s matchup between the second-seeded Vols and No. 3 Wildcats never felt close, as Kentucky struggled to give its fans any reason to flex in Indianaspolis.
