C.J. Pace brought veteran forward grit to South Carolina
C.J. Pace was a senior forward for South Carolina, listed at 5-10, and her Gamecock profile identifies her as a Chipola College transfer[1]. In her senior season at South Carolina, she averaged 7.6 points and 5.9 rebounds per game, started 24 games, and was described as one of the team’s steadiest rebounders and a player who helped lay the foundation for Dawn Staley’s program with toughness and board work[2][3]. She’s the kind of fit coaches love: undersized for the frontcourt, but reliable, physical, and willing to do the dirty work.
