The Iowa State women’s basketball team’s first game of the Elevance Health Women’s Fort Myers Tip-Off offered the Cyclones an early-season opportunity to take down one of the best teams in the country.

Joyce Edwards and Sania Feagin led South Carolina with 13 points apiece. Edwards also had a team-high 11 rebounds. The Gamecocks limited Iowa State to 23% shooting (12 of 52) and the defensive pressure led to 19 turnovers. South Carolina will Purdue on Saturday (11 a.m., The Women Sports Network) at Suncoast Credit Union Arena.

The No. 4 South Carolina Gamecocks face their biggest test of the season against No. 15 Iowa State in a compelling non-conference showdown.
