With only two seniors on
Carolina's soccer team,
coach Mark Berson has been
looking tor leadership trom
his underclassmen to
develop throughout the
season.
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.

quickness and defensive ability in the scrimmage with
several steals that led to fast break layups.
Peaotifck saicL Bill Foster is reason'-why he transfered
to Carolina. "I've seen him coach and I like his
style," he said. "I think I fit in well with the type of running
game that we have. He has us enthused and we're here to
learn. We want to be the best we can be."
FOSTER HAS successfully rebuilt four basketball
programs. He and his experienced trio of coaches, Bob
Wenzel, Ray Jones, and Steve Steinwedel, are looking to
mold this young, inexperienced team into a winner in the
tradition of ?/SC basketball teams of the past.
Foster is looking for his team to improve as the season
progresses. "Whether it's games or practices or whatever
it might be, we've just got to work on being better tomorrow
than we were today," Foster said.

In his sophomore year, he showed flashes of potential
when he averaged 14 points and became known for his long

last season and his shooting percentage and scoring
