As Raven Johnson’s Indiana Fever took on the Atlanta Dream on Saturday, there was a reunion of sorts of former South Carolina teammates. The official South Carolina Gamecocks WBB Instagram page posted pictures and videos of the reunion on Sunday, with current and former South Carolina players hugging and catching up with one another as some continued their WNBA journey.
Tessa Johnson, Chloe Kitts, Alicia Tournebize, Maddy McDaniel, Agot Makeer, Joyce Edwards and more along with incoming freshmen Kelsi Andrews, Kaeli Wynn, Oliviyah Edwards and Jerzy Robinson, were there to support their former teammates Madina Okot, Bree Hall, Te-Hina Paopao, Raven Johnson, Aliyah Boston and more, with Dawn Staley herself also posing with her current and former players.
They were all smiles at the reunion, with fans getting in on the fun in the comments section.

South Carolina Gamecocks WBB Had Best National Attendance Last Season
Dawn Staley and the South Carolina Gamecocks also have more reason to celebrate, as their home games were the most attended in women’s basketball. The team won last season’s national attendance title, showing that the Gamecocks have undeniable popularity when it comes to women’s basketball.
Whenever the Gamecocks played at their home court, Colonial Life Arena, the team averaged more than 15,000 fans in attendance. This win is also a dominant statement in how popular the team is, as nine out of the ten highest-attended games this season all involved the Gamecocks, with six of the team’s home games drawing more than three Women’s NCAA Final Four games.
