USC volleyball team rated second in Metro By Tracy Mixson USC's volleyball team will vie for the Metropolitan Collegiate Athletic Conference championship and a possible post season Dertn tms weekend at the conference tournament in Louisville, Kentucky. The Lady Gamecocks are seeded second in the tournament with a 32-3 season record under first-year head coach Elaine Mozingo. This is the first season in four years USC has had a winning record. National Collegiate Athlctic Association Division I Women's Volleyball Committee will select one team from each of six regions (East, North East, Central, South, MidWest, and West) to participate in post-season competition. THE ADIVSORY committee assisting the South Region selection is made up of five coaches: Mississippi State's Libba Birmingham; North Carolina State's Judy Martino, who was a former coach at USC before Terrie Drake, who left last C IT_! *-- - -C ? .n.a3uu, uavs wiungiu nuiii me university ui nousion; Florida State's Cecile Reynaub; and Kay Woldiel of Arkansas State. Selected teams will be notified Nov. 28. If the Lady Gamecocks do not win the Metro title, they still have an outside chance at an at-large berth for post-season competition. Mozingo stated earlier she thought Carolina could take the title. "1 think we have a good chance at winning it, but it's not going to be easy," she said. MIDDLE BLOCKER Lori-Anne Rowe, all-Canadian freshman from Knowlton, Quebec, said USC's chances of winning the Metro are good. "I think we can win it," she said. "But we'll have to play together as a unit and avoid making mistakes. We'll just have to be tough and play our game, and let the other teams make mistakes." Carolina has lost twice this season to Florida State University, seeded first at the tournament. Both best-of-five-game matches were close, as USC fell 12-15, 8-15 and 4-15 Oct. 8, and 13-15, 15-4, 15-9, 8-15 and 14-16 Oct. 15. Louisville, the defending Metro champions and the home team of the tournament, also gave Carolina a tough match this season during a conference meeting in Cincinnati. Going to five games Oct. 29, the Lady Gamecocks downed the Lady Cardinals 14-16, 18-16, 13-15, 16-14 and 15-5. Other Metro participants this weekend include Cincinnati, Memphis State, Southern Mississippi, Tulane and Virginia Tech.
