ander has the top time in the 100- and 200-meter
breastroke and Mark Rutledge in the individual
medley.
t USC divers will be led by defending Metro Conference
champion Rob Gentry and Perry White, who
has qualified for the NCAA's after red-shirting last
season.
"We haven't qualified any men for the NCAA
championships yet," Collins said. "But, we hope to
qualify a lot during the Metro Championships. The
competition will be good enough to get some really
good times."
USC's women's team has been led all season by
two freshmen from England, Linda Criddle and
Joanne Seymour, who have dominated the butterfly
and breaststrokes.
CRIDDLE SET a school record in the 200-meter
butterfly against North Carolina State with a time of
2:02.45. Seymour has set two school records this
season. She swam 2:18.23 in the 200-meter
hrpactctmVp
Both Criddle and Seymour are also on USC's
school record holding 400- and 200-meter medley
relays.
Susan Hagberg, who was the only three-event winner
at last year's Metro championships, will again
lead the Gamecocks in the middle-distance freestyle
as well as the backstroke. She has the squads' top
times in the 200- and 500-meter freestyle, as well as
the 100- and 200-meter backstroke.
The spring freestyle is in good hands with junior
Michi Martin and senior Kathy O'Donnell has been
an ail-American for the past two seasons, but Martin
who has had the best times in the 50- and 100-meter
ireesiyie. /\nne AavermiK win aiso ue a Key in me
distance freestyle races for USC.
LISA WILLIAMS, a returning all-American, will
once again lead the Lady Gamecocks in diving. Paul
Crail, a freshman, will provide help in that area. All
USC divers, male and female, have qualified for the
NCAA's in both the one and three-meter events.
"Our diving has been such a factor this season,"
- Collins said. "(Head diving coach) Mike Finneran
always does such a fine job. Lisa and Rob, I feel, will
be key factors in the Metro as well as the NCAA
Championships this year."
Not only will the Metro Conference schools be at
USC, but also schools participating in the National
iiiu^^uu^iii viiaui^iunsiiip.
Virginia Commonwealth, Old Dominion, Miami
(Fla.), Southern Illinois-Carbondale, Lamar, Florida
Atlantic and Northeast Louisiana will be here to
compete in the NIC's. All the Metro schools participate
in swimming except for Memphis State, while
Southern Mississippi has only a men's squad.
"We know what we have to do to win," Collins
said. We've been loc(^ |ig forward to this all year(
long, and now is our chance. We can do it."

The Clemson-Carolina women's basketball garni

No longer does one have to wait for a St.
John's-Georgetown match-up to see exciting
basketball.
All the high-powered, fast-paced action
typical of a Big East match-up can be found
among (JSC's top intramural teams including
the Angels, Saga Kings, Fluxers,
Omega Psi Phi and the Spartans.
This year's field consists of 32 men's "A"
teams, and 72 men's "B" teams, 12 corecreational
teams vand 13 women's teams.
The "A" division is considered the most
competitive, according to USC's Intramural/Recreational
Sports Office.
Omega Psi Phi, last year's Division A
rhamninn rpmainc nnmher nnp. hut it has
yet to be challenged by last year's runner-up,
the revenge-seeking Spartans. The Fluzers
and the Saga Kings currently top the 72-team
Divison B. The Angels, however, coached by
the veteran Lewis Nelson, will definitely be
contenders for the top spot. Hot shooting by
guards Greg Huntley and Steve Burris and a
late basket by Jay Young powered the
Angels to a narrow victory over the
4 previously unbeaten Mudsharl^bnd preservv
ed their unblemished record.'

The loss at Littlejohn Coliseum
was the Lady Gamecocks' worst of
the season, and not the type of
game head coach Nancy Wilson
had hoped to take into the Metro
Tournament.
The Lady Gamecocks were beat
on both ends of the floor as Clemson

the inside positions.

(Caple and Bishop) were determined

Lady Gamecocks came in the
opening minutes of the second
half. Down by 13 at halftime,
Carolina came out in a trapping
full-court press that temporarily
caused promlems for Clemson.
After seeing her lead cut to seven,
Tribble called timeout to settle her
players down, and effectively
silenced the Lady Gamecocks for
the remainder of the game.
TRIBBLE SAID containing
Brantley Southers was a key to the
win. ' We knew we'd have to contain
her somewhat. She has been
hot lately, but you know you don't
usually stop players like
Brantley."
Southers had 12 points for the
game after a 31-point performance
at home against Virginia Tech.
Most significantly, out of the forward
spot, Southers pulled down
only three rebounds.

Carolina head coach Nancy
Wilson said Clemson's perfor
mance was outstanding, wnue ner
own team's effort was lethargic.
"Whenever we worked ourselves
into a place where we could
operate, they got two easy baskets,
or at least they seemed easy."
USC does not play again until
the first round of the Metro Tournament.
Seeded second after Memphis
State, the Lady Gamecocks
will face Tulane's Green Wave
Sunday.
USC's chances of receiving an
NCAA bid could depend on the
outcome of the Metro Tournament.
The winner automatically
receives a bid, but USC's chances
of getting an at-lapje-bid are not
the best.

Lady Gajhecocks fall in the Metro,
but having lost both of these, USC
will most likely need a Metro
championship to make it to the
NCAA Tournament.
