Sterling Sharpe, a junior wingback, had three touchdowns to lead the Gamecocks, tying a school record for touchdowns scored in one game. Sharpe scored on a five-yard pass from freshman quarterback Todd Ellis, on a 15-yard halfback option pass from junior wingback Kevin White and on a r* i nvc-yaru run. USC head coach Joe Morrison said he felt his offense looked better than it had in the two previous games, especially in executing the draw play. "It's a good feeling to get number one under our belts," he said. "Our running game was going very good for us tonight." Carolina opened the scoring on an eight-yard sweep to the left by White with 5:59 remaining in the first quarter, capping a 13-play, | 91-yard drive. It was White's first career touchdown. hi a a i i r\ #> IMO. o Ubb By RICHARD BREEN Senior reporter USC's socccr team improved their record to 5-0, whipping Presbyterian College 6-1 Saturday at The Graveyard.

"It was just a sweep pass, and I read the coverage. I knew I was either going to get it in or at least the first down. White finished the game with 16 yards of rushing and 43 yards of receiving, while completing one pass to Sharpc for a touchdown. On the next scries, USC's defense held WCU to two yards in four plays and forccd a punt. The Gamccocks then drove 54 yards on five plays and scored on a five-yard pass to Sharpe from Ellis. Then Western took control of the game by scoring two touchdowns and a field goal, to take a 17-14 advantage with 6:32 in the second quarter. On the White to Sharpe pass, USC regained the lead with 30 seconds left in the half. The Gamecocks took the second half kickoff and marched to the end zone on an 11-play, 77-yard touchdown drive. Sharpe scored on a five-yard run up the middle on a key block by David Poinsett improves rei when Wayne Gehrhardt pushed a shot past sliding goalkeeper Charlie Arndt at 29:16. "The goal was a mental lapse," USC head coach Mark Bcrson said. "Two defenders missed their assignments. It really seemed to wake us up." The Gamecocks proved they had woken two minutes later, when Grenville Pope launched a shot from 25 yards out to put USC un for eood. 2-1. Cook then converted a nice pass from senior Dan Ratcliff only 30 seconds later for a 3-1 Gamecock lead.

The final scores of the game came from USC on a 46-yard field goal by Scott Haglcr and a one-yard run by Kevin Jones.

He had help, however, from such outstanding receivers as senior tight end Alonzo Carmichacl and sophomore spin cnu utis wasnmgton. Carmichacl had 86 yards on five passes and a touchdown, while Washington rccieved six passes for 103 yards and one touchdown. cord to 5-0 Three minutes into the second half, Cook scored his second goal off a pass from senior Scott Brown to make it 5-1.
