Sports 10 ' the gamecock Wednesday, November 8, 1989 Pep Taj By Chris Silvestri ? Berson has mad nationally recog If Marlr Rprcnn r?r\n1rl Ha fnr tlia football program what he has done for the soccer program at USC, he would be revered as a living legend. Once again the Gamecock soccer team will appear in the NCAA Tournament ? the fifth time in as many years. USC will play Duke in their first round matchup, which will be the sixth tournament appearance for the Gamecocks since Berson took the helm in 1978. In Berson's 12 years at USC, he has made the Gamecocks one of the most successful programs in the nation, and perhaps more importantly, brought national recognition to USC soccer. National recognition brings a steady flow of good, young players who want to play soccer for USC, which translates into a constant influx of talent. Teams like Virginia, Indiana and UCLA, constant powerhouses in soccer, live off their recognition as three of the best programs in the nation. Because of this, they are perennial Top 10 and tournament teams. This year's Gamecock squad is a prime example of talent flow. Despite losing five starters from this past year's NCAA Final Four team, including the nation's best goal tender, USC finished the regular season at 15-2-2.
