Former South Carolina standout Sania Feagin delivered one of her most complete professional performances to date, powering the Lightning to a commanding 94–75 victory over the Sydney Flames.
Feagin was dominant on both ends of the floor, finishing the night with 23 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal, and two blocks in a stat line that showcased her growing all-around impact. Efficient and confident, she shot 8-of-16 from the field and knocked down 3-of-6 attempts from beyond the arc, while staying perfect at the free-throw line at 4-for-4.
From the opening tip, Feagin set the tone with her physicality and poise. She controlled the glass, creating second-chance opportunities, and consistently punished defensive mismatches in the paint. When the Flames collapsed on her inside, Feagin calmly stepped out and stretched the defense with her perimeter shooting, a dimension of her game that continues to evolve at the professional level.
Her playmaking was just as important as her scoring. Feagin repeatedly found open teammates out of double teams, leading to five assists and helping the Lightning maintain offensive flow throughout the game. Defensively, she was a steady presence, protecting the rim with two blocks and using her instincts to disrupt passing lanes.
The performance was a reminder of the player Gamecock fans watched develop under Dawn Staley — a versatile forward capable of impacting the game in multiple ways. Feagin’s confidence, efficiency, and leadership stood out, particularly in key moments when the Flames tried to build momentum.
As Feagin continues to carve out her professional career, nights like this highlight her readiness for bigger roles and tougher competition. Against Sydney, she wasn’t just productive — she was in control, delivering a statement performance that reinforced her upward trajectory and her ability to shine well beyond her days in garnet and black.
