The men's team will try to improve
its 22-7 mark from last season, but it
may be difficult because of the loss of
Ricardo Acioly, who tore ligaments in
his knee during a fall season match.
"I thought before Acioly got hurt,
we had a shot at the top 20," Head
Coach Ron Smarr said. "We still have
an outside shot at the top 20."
Acioly, a junior transfer from Tyler

to play the No. 1 seed on the squad.
The highly-rated Lady Gamecocks,
who posted a 28-3 record last season,
return All-American Laura Bernstein
and four other starters.
The Lady Gamecocks are ranked
sixth in the preseason poll.

The budget problems this year
