An estimated 4,400 fans packed The Graveyard to be witness to 110 minutes of action USC head coach Mark Berson called . . the most exciting soccer game I've ever been associated with." The Tigers, now 8-3-2, lost to USC for only the second time in 11 matches. USC is now 12-2 for the season. The match was critical for both teams. Clemson and Carolina are grouped in the same region ? the South ? and compete for National Collegiate Athletics Association playoff berths, which are automatically awarded to the top two teams in each region. i icr? *i-- - ujv- is mi 11'iiiiy me lopranked team in the South, beating N.C.

"In this region, I don't think the bids will become crystal clear until the final two weeks of the season. And don't forget that we piay uukc ncre a wcck iroin now." With 13 minutes gone, Doug Allison ripped a powerful 30-yard shot that didn't miss by much, and with 7:05 left in the half, Tommy Loeber, USC's sweeper, denied Tiger midfielder Dick Landgren with a line save when he covered the open goal. r MttHk1 . r^^pi<^B 3HP i Br^^^i^L*,w vi USC s Colleen Mckenzie spikes during I I kinko's WANTED: Macintosh Enthusias Lasertype?

While the match was decided in three straight games, USC head coach Bonnie Kenny said she was not pleased with her team's play. "I'm glad we won, obviously, but I'm not satisfied with the way we played at all," she said. "I mean, it was good enough to win but not good enough for this time of year." Kenny said she believed last weekend's losses to Florida State and Duke hurt the team's play. "We dropped a notch last weekend and we went down the ladder, and we're not taking that extra step forward and that's hurting us right now, and we're play ing nat oecause we're unintense at times in the game," Kenny said.

But Conner and Murray pulled Clemson even ? atzain ? less than two minutes later when both broke clear towards the Gamecock goal with Conner on the ball. When Conner drew the Gamecock defenders he served the wide-open Murray who beat Arndt to make it 3-3. Finally, with 2:54 of overtime to play and a draw looking to be the logical result, Grenville Pope crossed a ball into the Tiger area, which Cook headed home at the far post for the 4-3 result. :am faces T uesday The one bright spot, according to Kenny, was USC's serving. ?4T i minis, mill wimi won uic gamefor us," she said. The Lady Gamecocks are now 14-6 overall and 3-1 in Metro Conference play. Kenny said the Lady Gamecocks play fired up wherever they meet rival Clemson. The Lady Gamecocks take to the road Oct. 14 after six straight home matches to meet the Lady Tigers. Kenny said returning to the road may be beneficial for the team. "Maybe we're sick of playing at home, maybe that's why we've been playing so flat," she said. "I don't know, maybe we're ready to go on the road ... get into a new environment." The two teams met earlier this year with the Lady Gamecocks winning the match in three J games. a u<t?n <?ll st Donation ' k Donation g $ $ ?
