Wilson op
By BRANT LONG
Assistant Sports Editor
Nancy Wilson, head coach of
the Lady Gamecock basketball
team, spoke of a tough schedule,
strong returners and a solid fresh
man class at Wednesday s preseason
press luncheon.
Wilson, who needs only one
victory to become the all-time winning
coach in Lady Gamecock history,
will have to fight for every
victory with a schedule that will
see USC play 10 teams that appeared
in this past year's NCAA
Tournament.
"We have a very competitive
schedule," Wilson said. "In addition
to our Metro Conference schedule,
we have an extremely tough
non-conference schedule. When it
comes NCAA time, we definitely
don't want to stay home after the
first game. And by going out every
night against this type of competition,
this will prepare you not only
physically, but also mentally.
"Last year our challenge was to
be in the Top 20, this season with
the schedule and the caliber of
team we have, we feel we can go
up against these teams night after
night. We want to knock heads
with the best and find out how
good we are and what we can
strive to be."

The players on the fifth-ranked Gamecock soccer
jam must have thought it was about time they had an
asy win alter Wednesday s 8-u pounding or lhe Ciidel
at The Graveyard.
After a loss, three consecutive overtime matches
nd a couple of tough wins, the Gamecocks cruised
ver the Bulldogs.
"We were frankly concerned going into the game,"
ISC head coach Mark Berson said. "We've been a
ttle bit flat, and I was looking for some type of an
idication that we were going to break out of that,
nd I think we definitely did that today."
It did not take long for USC to get on the
:oreboard.
Reminiscent of Georgia State, the Gamecocks took
dvantage of a penalty inside the goal box. Jonas
ludjonsson hit the penalty shot for an early 1-0
dvantage.
But unlike the Georgia State match, it would not
Dme down to penalties. Jeff Love's shot at the 12:41
lark was deflected off of a Citadel defender and
ent in the goal for a 2-0 advantage. Ruben Tufmo
ad the assist.
It was Tufino again, later in the half, as his shot
hizzed past the Citadel goalkeeper for a 3-0 advanige.
Tufino's two assists gave him 12 on the season,
'ing a school record. He also has 18 points.
The next two goals were scored by Clark Brisson,
ctending his streak of consecutive games scored in
> nine. At the 31:19 mark, Brisson converted on a
enalty kick. With less than five minutes left in the
alf, Tufino led Brisson with a pass that Brisson
laced over the Bulldog goalkeeper's head.
'Two more goals . . . another good afternoon for
lark again," Berson said.
Brisson also tied a school record for goals in a seajn
with 18. He now has 41 points.
Berson was pleased to get to play many different
layers in the second half.
Freshman Matt Haiduk opened the second half by
:oring with his first career goal as a Gamecock. Af

"I want to credit our players ? they
battled hard. We had an opportunity
to play some younger players, and they
did a good job. I'm pleased with the
results today."
Mark Berson
ter his first shot hit the crossbar, Haiduk followed up
for the score.
At the 84:54 mark, Andrew Coggins slid a shot in
the net for a 7-0 advantage. He was assisted by walkons
Bernard Grant and Jorgen Waldermo, who would
score the Gamecock's last goal on a pass from Coggins
at the 86:50 mark.
The Gamecocks outshot the Bulldogs 32-3 and goalies
Chris Foley and Spencer Lueders combined for
the seventh USC shutout of the season.
"Citadel is always a good team," Berson said.
"They're always very well organized. You generally
don't have a game that ends up being as lopsided as
this one was today, but that's a credit to our
team ... We just jumped on them a little bit early. I
want to credit our players ? they battled hard. We
had an opportunity to play some younger players, and
they did a good job. I'm pleased with the results
today."
On Sunday the Gamecocks face the Demon Dea
cons ot Wake Forest, the No. 2 team in the South
Region. Berson believes it is a very important game.
"Wake Forest is the best team that we'll play this
year, make no mistake about that They're playing
very well. That game is going to be for a lot as far as
the NCAA Tournament selection committee goes," he
said. "I can tell you that the game on Sunday is for
everything for our season. The Wake Forest game is
our season for 1989, and we've got to get ready for
them between now and then."
The Gamecocks are now 11-1-2, while The Citadel ;
falls to 5-5-0. The USC-Wake Forest match is set to ;
begin at 2 p.m. Sunday at The Graveyard.
