RECAP | BOX SCORE

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – Marie Ferdinand scored 31 points as No. 14 LSU ended a three-game losing streak with an 83-72 victory over South Carolina on Sunday.

Despite the victory, the Lady Tigers (18-9, 8-6) finished in fifth place in the SEC and will not get a bye in the first round of the tournament.

The Lady Gamecocks (11-16, 6-8) finished the regular season with two straight losses.

Ferdinand scored 17 points as the Lady Tigers took a 42-38 halftime lead. She had five points as LSU started the second half on an 18-5 run.

South Carolina, which trailed by as much as 21 points, rallied to 73-65 on Nihan Anaz's 3-pointer with 1:44 to go.

But Ferdinand answered with a three-point play for LSU. The senior and team's leading scorer hit 12-of-20 shots from the field, had seven rebounds and four steals.

Anaz led South Carolina with 14 points.

DeTrina White had 13 points and Doneeka Hodges added 12 for LSU, which won its fifth straight game at the Carolina Coliseum.
