The Marquette Warriors outclassed Carolina
Saturday alternoon at the Frank McGuire Arena and
walked away with an easy 80-?>5 victory.
The loss was the first one ot the season at home for
the Gamecocks and dropped their record to an !l-(i
mark Marquette owns a 1() (> record.
The game was close in the first half with the lead
changing hands nine times, but Marquette ran off six
straight points during the last three minutes of the
halt to give them a 34-27 advantage at intermission.
CAROLINA NKYKR got closer than seven points
again, i no uamecocKs swncnea irom a /one aeiense
to a man-to-man and the Warriors went to work.
Marquette guard Sam Worthen was the plavmaker as
the quicker Warrior team passed the ball around
effectively and took advantage of the Carolina
defense to get many uncontested shots. Worthen
dished out eight assists in the game, and even when
the Warriors missed a shot, they often kept it alive by
getting rebounds on the offensive boards.
The Gamecocks shot poorly hitting on only 39
percent of their shots from the floor. Cedrick Hordtfes
took many shots from the outside, and although he
did score 26 points, he managed to hit on only 10of the
23 shots he attempted.
"We planned for him (Hordges) to shoot from
outside because if he went inside they would have
slapped the ball away," coach Frank McGuire said.
"They have the quickest hands of any team I've seen
in a long time."
Gamecock center Jim Strickland agreed. "They
were real aggressive," he said. "They were swatting
and swinging ;it fhr> hall and nlnvpH tnnoh nil rlofnnco
They are the most aggressive team we have played
this year."
THE GAMECOCKS did not do well rebounding.
"We just didn't get the rebounds," McGuire said.
* "We need to dominate the boards like we did against
Marshall and East Tennessee to be effective,"

CSC's Lady Gamecocks struggled against a physical East Carolina
team in the early going, but moved out to a big lead at halftime and went
on to defeat the Lady Pirates 97-54 Saturday at Carolina Coliseum.
The players' aggressiveness threatened to get out of control during
the game, especially during the second half as the Lady Gamecocks
increased their lead and the Lady Pirates had scoring droughts of five
minutes or more several times.
COACH I*AM PARSON'S said the Lady llamecocks played well,
without showing any signs of letup after defeating fourth-ranked
Tennessee Wednesday. "They showed a lot of class when a young team.
East Carolina, got frustrated and I felt had forgotten a little bit about
basketball." she said.

j out to kill." she said. "Hut instead of fouling, I tried to get position and
I let them foul me. 1 can keep my temper."
Parsons said Kast Carolina is known for perimeter shooting, which
helped them stay close to USC at the beginning of the game. "They've
been real close to some other opponents, but we again showed our
strength."

Lady Gamecocks played well. "East Carolina was a scrappy team. It

William Shuford, Ricky Thompson and Catherine
Caruso all placed high in regional competition and as
a result were invited to the national competition.
SIIL'FOKI) IS A sophomore who is ranked as the
top epeeist at USC and placed 11th in the under-20
nationals last year. Thompson is a freshman who
placed as the top under-20 foilist in South Carolina at
the Junior Olympic Regionals held in December.

women's foil at the December competition.
But the Fencing Club does not have any money in
its budget to send the three fencers to the nationals,
so the trio has applied to SAC for the money. "We are
shooting to get enough money so that our coach
(Charles Thompson) can go with us," Thompson
said. "He's not our official coach because we can't
afford to pay one, but he helps out in the spare time
^ for no pay."
ft "KKN HAUSKK of the intramural department is
f helping us out in dealing with SAC," Thompson said.
I "He knows the ins and outs of the system and really
I has been a great help to our club."
I The club has about 30 members and every semester
I offers a short course in fencing through Free
| University according to Thompson. "Fencing is a
growing sport," he added.
s
ThomDSon said the club is honine to boromo ;i
5* varsity team, but he added that it may take a long
(K time to reach that status. "If we were varsity, we
could compete with area teams and get a lot more
recognition and experience," he said. "We also would
have a bigger budget and be able to do more things."
