Freeport, Bahamas – South Carolina forward Iva Sliskovic earned all-tournament recognition for her efforts against No. 18 Texas and No. 19 Purdue at the Junkanoo Jam in the Bahamas. The junior from Zagreb, Croatia averaged 11.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 3.0 blocked shots and 1.0 steals per game at the Junkanoo Jam. Sliskovic’s four blocked shots against the Boilermakers established a new career high in the category just one night after she notched a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds against the Longhorns. On the year, Sliskovic averages a team-best 10.3 points per game to go with 7.0 rebounds per contest. She also leads the team in minutes played (30.0 per game), blocked shots (11), assists (11), free throws made (19) and free throws attempted (27).

Sliskovic and the Gamecocks are back in action when they host Georgia Southern at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Colonial Center.
