GREENVILLE, S.C. — You're in it with South Carolina until suddenly and all at once, you're not. Maryland became the latest repeat casualty in the undefeated champion's run to a second title that carried on with the 86-75 win in the Elite Eight at Bon Secours Wellness Arena. And though the Terrapins started strong, they couldn't keep up with the continuous onslaught of Gamecocks.

It is, some might say, unfair. And it will be a problem for Iowa on Friday in the Final Four, as well as whichever team meets South Carolina in the national championship game.

Cardoso put in most of her minutes in the second half, which South Carolina led, 38-30, to start. In four minutes in the third, she added 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. She was key in closing out the win in the fourth quarter of a 12-point game, playing nine minutes with 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

Cooke said she often tells Cardoso, a quiet soul who is always smiling and about her business, to be mean. But during the Elite Eight, she said she didn’t have to because she brought it herself. Cardoso did not have a blocked shot in the Elite Eight, but when she does, they’re highlight-reel worthy every time. Against UCLA in the Sweet 16, she chased a Bruins guard and swatted it cleanly and with ease. No fast break is safe, a problem for Iowa to consider this week.
