"LAS VEGAS -- Jordan Lee scored 19 points and Rori Harmon made a 10-foot floater with a second left to lift No. 4 Texas over No. 2 South Carolina 66-64 on Thursday in the women's title game of the Players Era Championship. Harmon had been held in check by the Gamecocks, having scored just four points until she drove to the left side of the key and pulled up for the winning shot. Harmon also had nine assists to become the program's career leader."
""When it came time for the last shot, it's always gonna be her," said Texas coach Vic Schaefer, who called Harmon the best point guard in the country after Wednesday's semifinal win over No. 3 UCLA. After squandering a six-point lead early in the third quarter and eventually falling behind by eight, the Longhorns (7-0) clawed their way back by outscoring South Carolina 24-14 the rest of the way. Madison Booker finished with 16 points and nine rebounds for Texas."
