Stacey Plaskett said "This month is not only Women's History Month, but it is also Virgin Islands History Month, and what better way to celebrate it than today for me to salute Virgin Islands' native and basketball upcoming star, Aliyah Boston, who had another dominant performance in South Carolina's 67-62 win over Georgia in the SEC tournament final. Boston put up 27 points and 10 rebounds for her 15th double-double of the year, and was named the tournament MVP as South Carolina captured its sixth championship in the last 7 years. ``Aliyah was huge,'' said Coach Dawn Staley after the game. ``She has to be that dominant in order for us to win these kind of basketball games.'' Aliyah, you are huge. You are dominant. And what better way to recognize Women's History Month and Virgin Islands History Month by a Virgin Islander and a woman making history. ___________________
