Saturday afternoon, that new leadership was never more evident as four sophomores and freshman combined for all the scoring to give the Gamecocks a 5-0 victory over the previously uiiuiru ten uuivfisiiy ui Central Florida Knights. AT THE beginning of the season, Herson figured to count on three seniors for leadership, but injuries have taken their toll. Midfielder Jake Heilich played only one game before he was red shirted because of an injury. Captain John Tremont is suffering from a back injury which caused him to miss five games. Forward Eddie Fuchs is the team's lone healthy senior. "We've had t/ood morale and spirit all year, but team leaders are just starting to develop now," Berson said.
