Carolina versus Clemson. Just the sound of the
words raises any local fan's pulse. The annual "big
game" with the Tigers always brings out rabid fans
and top performances on the field.
ine crowd Saturday afternoon on physical
education field A would not have filled a football
stadium, but a good sized lacrosse crowd was treated
to a great show by the two intrastate rivals as the
USC Yazoo lacrosse club came back late in the game
and forced Clemson into a last second play before
losing 12-11.
The Yazoos fell behind 12-7 in the second half and
their sloppy play gave no indication that the injurydepleted
USC team had the ability to come back
against the surging Clemson squad.

BUT THE Yazoos found themselves down by a
point with 25 seconds to play. As Carolina attempted
to score to tie the game a Tiger defender came out of
tne melee with the ball and gave Clemson another win
to add to its won-loss column.
"We were disorganized on the last play," Carolina
lacrosse captain John Cebe-Habersky said. "Since
we're just a club and I have to try to coach while I'm
playing and make substitutions. We just weren't
really set on the last play. That fourth quarter was
ours, but we had to come from too far back."

handled the ball badly. Overall the game was pretty
sloppy, Thomas said, but that was from trying too
hard.
