The 12th-rankcd women kept their undefeated record intact at 7-0 with their two victories. The men's two wins gave the team a record of 5-2 for the season. On Friday, the women's team, after trailing the Wolfpack through the first three events, pulled even when Susan H a g b e r g won the 1 0 0 - m e t e r backstroke. The Wolfpack jumped out to an early lead behind the swimming of Tricia Butcher, winning the 1,000and 200-meter freestyle. USC TOOK the lead for good after Joann Seymour's record-breaking swim in the 100-meter breaststroke, timed at 1:04.68. Seymour, a freshman from Drost which, England, broke the school record for the 200-meter brcaststrokc earlier this season. The I.ady Gamecocks won 12 of the 16 events in the meet against the I.ady Woll'paek and won by a score of 85-55. In the men's meet, Jean-Marie Arnoultl, a freshman from l.eige, Belgium, won his ninth straight race in a row in record-setting fashion, a new school record in the l,(XK)-meter freestyle with a 9:24.19 time.

The first-event victory in the 200-mcdley relay by Hagberg, Seymour, Linda Criddle and Kathy O'Donnell gave USC a lead they never gave up. The time of 1:46.20 by the team was a new school record. The team won 15 of the 16 events, bettering Friday's total, losing only the 200-free relay. The Lady Gamecock's won the meet, H4-55. IV Till' ni?>nl Ar.w<?l.l L.,rvt his dual meet record alive. The freshman has not been beaten in a dual competition in the 500-meter or the 1,000-meter freestyle events. "It was a great weekend for us," USC swim coach Steve Collins said. "(Friday) we beat a great team like North Carolina State and (Saturday), we beat Tennessee. You can't ask any more from our team. "I think that (Saturday's) meet will help us a lot to prepare for the Metro Championships and the NCAA's.

And the Gamecocks probably couldn't be happier. Carolina, which lost 77-71 to Tulanc Saturday in New Orleans, La., has had more than its share of problems on the road. USC has not won an away game since Jan. 3, 1984, compared to a 9-1 record at home this season. ALTHOUGH THKY beat Louisville 72-63 at home Jan. 16, the Golden Eagles arc having their own troubles this season, losing close games to Metro leader Virginia Tech Jan. 19 (72-68) and Cincinnati Jan. 21 (59-58). And despite Southern Mississippi's 6-11 overall record, USC head coach Bill Foster said his squad can't take the S Eagles lightly. .? I "They had a tough one-point loss to Cincinnati, but they played very well in beating Louisville at home," he said. J "Southern Mississippi is a very scrappy team, and they arc j. very physical up front." The Eagles are led by point guard Casey l-isher, who is ^ averaging 14.8 points a game in Metro action, The 6-2 freshman scored 16 points in Southern Mississippi's 72-63 win over Louisville Jan. 16, and in the Fagles' 82-60 loss to Memphis State, he pumped in 22 points. AS A team, Southern Mississippi is shooting 46.3 percent from the field and yielding 48.3 percent by opponents. The > l-aglcs arc shooting 61.3 percent from the foul line. They are \ averaging 67.4 points per game and giving up 69.6 per outing and they lead in rebounding by 35.8 to 35.7 per game. Saturday's game was the same old story for the Gamecocks, as USC continued its year-long losing streak on the road. The Green Wave almost blew a 23-point lead in the second half when Tulane's reserves took over. Carolina staged a comeback and drew within six points in the final minutes before the Wave's starters returned and held on for the victory. Clyde F.ads and Jon Johnson led Tulane's attack, as each scored 15 points. Johnson also pulled down 14 rebounds. ALSO CONTRIBUTING to the win were David Dominique i and Marcus Hamilton, who scored 12 points apiece. John Williams, last year's Metro player of the year, added 1(1, , points. * ? Center Mike Brit tain led the Gamecocks with 14 points, while Linwood Moye and Jimmy Hawthorne each added 10. At 2-3 and still fourth in the Metro, USC dropped to 9-6 overall. Tulane, 9-8, improved to 2-4 in the conference, but remains in seventh place, just ahead of Florida State, which has yet to win a Metro contest. Southern Miss defeated the Seminoles Saturday, 77-63. After tonight's game against the Eagles, USC's next opponent will he FSU Saturday at Carolina Coliseum. The Game: Southern Mississippi (6-11) vs. USC (9-6).
