Gamecocks
By Ray Gronberg
USC 's soccer team will face another squad
looking for a post-season tournament bid
when Carolina and UNC-Charlotte meet at
the Graveyard tomorrow at 4 p.m.
Both games in the series between the
schools have gone to overtime, with USC
taking a 3-2 win last year in Charlotte to
avenge 1982's 1-1 tie in Columbia.
The Gamecocks (3-1) and 49ers (2-1) are
having similar seasons. The Gamecocks have
recorded three shutouts, including a 3-0 win
over national power Connecticut, while
UNCC has notched easy wins over East
Carolina and Pfeiffcr.
ROAD (iAMKS with powerful Atlantic
Coast Conference opponents cost both teams
a loss, USC falling to UNC 6-1 and UNCC
losing to Duke 4-0.
Thursday's game, said UNCC head coach
Bob Warming, should be a tightly-played
crowd pleaser.
"South Carolina has the best team they've
had in years," he said. "The games the last
two years have featured great college soccer.
It's been a great rivalry."
UNCC IS much improved, said Warming,
from the squad that last year won the Sun
Belt Conference championship, defeating
17th-ranked South Florida in the process.
