TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Shalethia Stringfield scored a career-high 22 points and No. 19 South Florida defeated East Carolina 75-54 on Sunday.

Jada Payne scored 13 points and I'Tiana Taylor had 11 points and 13 rebounds, her 10th double-double for East Carolina (8-10, 2-4), which had a two-game winning streak snapped.
