Gamecock soccer
defenseman John Tremont
was a second round pick in
the recent North American
Soccer League's draft by the
Fort Lauderdale Strikers.
Tremont, who came to
South Carolina in 1979 from
weramec community
College in St. Louis, Mo.,
was a junior college AilAmerican
selection. He led
South Carolina to its first
NCAA playoff birth in 1979,
but injured his back midway
through the 1980 season and
played in only 10 of the
Gamecocks' 19 games.
Tremont was drafted as a
junior by Charlotte of the
American Soccer League,
and in November was picked
by the St. Louis Steamers of
* the Major Indoor Soccer
League. He is the second
player from USC to be
drafted by all three leagues.
Brian Winstead, the
Gamecocks' all-time leading I
scorer was drafted by New
Flnffland Ynrlr nnrf I
Indiana.
'The Strikers are looking
for an outside defender and
John should have a good
opportunity to fit in their
plans," Carolina soccer
coach Mark Berson said.
"He has unlimited physical
potential as a modern soccer
defender."
1980 VIRGINIA Women's
Amateur golf champion
Kandoi Kessler has verbally
committed to attend USC on
an athletic scholarship.
The 17-year-old senior at
West Albemarle High School
said she narrowed her
choices to South Carolina
and North Carolina before
choosing the Gamecocks.
She also visited the
University of Georgia.
