But to a volleyball player, the game is an intricate mixing of signals and plays, all hinging on a special on-court communicaton between players. One of the most important communications is that between setter and hitter. USC seems to have the area well in hand, leading the nation ^ in assist percentage with a .518 average. Sophomore Julie Morrison sets Carolina's offense in motion and leads the naton as well with a .591 average in assist percentage. An assist percentage is a telling statistic, computed by dividing the total number of sets which resulted in points by the total number of sets attempted. 1YIUIH5UII idiiu a iiuuiwiigi in t becoming Carolina's setter this ^ season, taking over for last year's 9 highly regarded Shellie Higgins. *"Shcllie was the best setter I've ever seen," Morrison said.

Exprience-wise, Morrison is freshman, sincc she did not get much playing time last year behind Higgins. Head Coach Bonnie Kenny said Morrison worked hard during the spring to become familiar with USC's hitters, but becoming USC's number one setter involves many things for Morrison besides getting used to the hitters. "She takes constant abuse irom me especially, Dccause snc s involved in every single play, she's touching every single volley," Kenny said. "She just can't afford to have a bad game because if she does, then we do, too." Kenny said Morrison is still learning just how vital her role is, but is beginning to realize her importance as she improves. "As far as her set distributon she s very smart, but she second guesses herself, which means she hesitates and that makes her unsure of herself."

I Meanwhile, Scott Cook, Doug 1 Allison, Danny Ratcliff and Grcnville Pope gave USC the most goals that the team has stored in one match since 1 Carolina clobbered Baptist 8-0 on Sept. 4th. The Gamecocks went up 1-0 with 7:16 gone on a Marty Baltzcgar throw-in that was flicked into the Bulldog penalty area by Jim Sonefcld. Scott Cook was there to head the ball in for his fifth goal of the season. Cook figured in the second goal when he took a corner is minutes later that Danny Ratcliff converted to give USC a 2-0 lead. Ratcliff's goal, his 10th of the season, tied him with Doug Allison for the team goal-scoring lead.

USC takes its unbeaten streak into Clcmson's Riggs Field on Sunday for a 2 p.m. match with the Tigers, last years' national champions and currently ranked number one. Clcmson, 10-0-1, (the Tigers were tied by seventh-ranked Connecticut) has a Thursday match against Southern Connecticut University, ranked number one in the NCAA Division II. Notes: The Tiiiers lead the USC/Clcmson series 8-0. . . Last years result was a 3-2 overtime win for Clcmson at "The Graveyard"... The two Carolina goals in that match equaled the USC goal total for the seven previous meetings. . . The trip to The Citadel was a homecoming of sorts for head ,coach Mark Berson: his first job as a head coach was at The Citadal in 1977, the year before he came to Carolina to start the Gamecock soccer program. _?.?_ )lem lancy? it xesuiig cal >200.00 thesia $75.00 Testing id Pap *35 :k of Pills iat.
