The Carolina Classic, held this weekend at the PE Center,
proved to be a real learning experience not only for the
Lady Gamecocks but for nine other teams too, according to
Judy Martino, head coach of the women's volleyball team.
"It's given us a chance to see all the teams here,"
Martino said. "Although no one has played that much this
season, the teams are doing as well now as they were at the
end of the first year."
At the end of two days of constant play, the University of
Tennessee captured first place, with North Carolina
second, and Kentucky finished third.
The action started with pool play Friday at 9:00 a.m. as
South Carolina defeated the College of Charleston in the
first two games of the match. After winning the first game
15-10, Carolin- got behind 13-6 in the second game, me
Gamecocks rallied, however, and took the match 16-14.
"COLLEGE OE CHARLESTON was a good match to
start with. They're a team within the state that we have to
beat consistently because they've had an established
program there for a long time," Martino said.
Action continued as Carolina took Tennessee into three
games before they fell 17-15 in the third game. The teams

have gone either way, according to Martino.
East Carolina was next to go against the Lady
Gamecocks. USC won the match in two games, 15-10 and 1511.
"We got a lot of substitutes in against ECU, and they did a
good job. It makes me feel I have some depth on the team,"
Martino said.
Thp final matrh of nool nlav for Carolina was against
UNC, last year's Carolina Classic winner.
North Carolina took the match in two games 15-6 and 1510.

"I finally have really good feelings about this team. They
believe in themselves and that they can beat good teams.
They've been playing to win with great intensity," Martino
said at the end of Friday's play.
Back on the court at 9:00 a.m. Saturday, the CarolinaMemphis
State match went into three games with the
Gamecocks emerging the victors. Memphis challenged
USC by winning the first game 15-3. Carolina battled back
to win the next two games 15-13 and 15-10.
Tennessee handed Carolina their first loss of the double
elimination tournament in two games. With scores of 15-2
and 15-4, Martino felt the Lady Vols totally dominated.

fell again 15-12 and 15 7, which eliminated USC from the
tournament.
Tennessee, from the winners' bracket, and UNC from the
losers' bracket, emerged into the finals. Tennessee, not
having lost any matches on Saturday, had only to beat UNC
once for the championship. UNC would have had to win two
consecutive matches which meant a possible total of six
games. UNC threatened to do just that by winning the first
game of the first match, but Tennessee won the next two for
the tournament Championship.
Carolina travels to Clemson on Tuesday and to Florida
for a tournament this weekend.

! State Coach Monte Kiffin, who watched Rogers rack up
his 15th consecutive 100-yard-plus outing at the hands of his
t Wolfpack, said "Rogers reminds me of Earl Campbell.
L They are very similar. Both of them run high and hard." \
i "George Rogers is All World," insisted Carolina Coach
i Jim Carlen. "If he is not the best player in America, I'd
i like to see who is."
And how does one react to all this praise? Well, George
t Rogers reacts modestly. In fact, if modesty was a factor in
f the Heisman selection process, Rogers could already be
J writing his acceptance speech.
J "My running just shows how good our offense really is,"
, says Rogers, who has accumulated 737 yards so far this
i season. We've got too many games ahead to be worrying
i about the Heisman. The main thing we're trying to do is
b win. If I get 90yards and we win, I still feel good."
