GREENVILLE, S.C. — Dawn Staley greeted her players at midcourt on Monday with a pregame ritual, briefly dancing a two-step called the Baltimore Shuffle.

“It really meant a lot and shows the way she advocates for people of color, for women, for any underrepresented person,” Thompson said. “I knew she would continue to fight for me as a Black woman and an athlete,” said Boston, Staley’s star forward. A monument to Thurmond was [amended after his death at 100 in 2003,](https://www.goupstate.com/story/news/2004/07/02/name-of-thurmonds-biracial-daughter-added-to-monument/29726381007/) acknowledging he had fathered a daughter with a Black woman who worked for his family. Earlier in the season, she wore clothes bringing awareness to the plight of Brittney Griner, who was still imprisoned in Russia. “I could hear her coming down the steps, getting closer to the court,” Staley said with a laugh. “I’m hoping they are drawn to that light, so they understand your foundation can still be where you grew up, but you can build a different life for yourself and change generations in your family and in your neighborhood.” Wearing diamond hoop earrings, a white jacket and black athletic pants, Staley sat on the bench, sheets of statistics rolled like a relay baton in her hand. “Women, especially, adore her frankness and willingness to take a stand that sometimes could get other people in hot water, with sponsors or the university they work for,” said Richard Lapchick, a prominent antiracism activist and director of the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida. “She’s the standard,” said Niele Ivey of Notre Dame, who was one of four Black coaches to reach the round of 16 in this women’s tournament, the most in a decade. After Estelle Staley died in 2017, Dawn, hurt and enraged by the killing of Floyd, wrote about her mother in an essay for She is a four-time Olympic gold medalist (three as a player, one as a coach) and is enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame. She supported her players when they sat or knelt or remained in the locker room for the national anthem.

The Hawkeyes answered every challenge that South Carolina (36-1) could muster. Iowa (31-6) snapped South Carolina’s 42-game winning streak, and will face No. After the Gamecocks took a 60-59 lead on Aliyah Boston’s basket with 9:05 left, the Hawkeyes scored the next five points — a Clark 3-pointer, then a Clark dish to Monika Czinano — and led the rest of the way.
