Soccer team i By MATT PLODINEC Staff Writer USC answered skeptics who wondered how the team would rebound after losing its No. 5 career scorer. Ruben Tufino, with a 4-0 win against Presbyterian College Sunday. In the 93-degree heat, six different players scored for the Gamecocks, including a goal each by freshman defenseman Billy Clifford (100:31) and sophomore forward Chris Faklaris (119:00) in the two 15-minute overtime periods at the end of regulation play. The fact that six players scored in the match, which was officially a scrimmage, illustrates the new team concept the Gamecocks are implementing this season. With the loss of Tufino, an acknowledged leader, the team is looking for several of the more experienced players to join in sharing the role of leader. For the rest of the match, the Gamecocks pressured the Blue Hose, who rarely offered an offensive challenge. It was the Gamecocks who drew first blood less than two minutes later when a junior midfielder, Jo Jo House, Duitsman; By TONY SANTORI Senior Writer Once again, there are high expectations for the USC soccer team this year. If the team is to win a championship in its first year in the Metro Conference, it must have steady play and leadership from junior Peter Duitsman. Duitsman is apparently up to the task. "I'm hoping to be in somewhat of a leadership role," he said. "I'm either going to be playing midfield or sweeper where we need a lot of organization, and hopefully, I can verbally communicate to all the other players to help us keep our shape." Duitsman said he is thinking i Hair Cuts (shampoo, cut and dry) Men -reg. $15.00 now $10.00 J Women - reg. $17.00 now $12.00 " i Perms Reg. $50.00 now $40.00 Color Reg. $40.00 now $30.00 Oil Manicun Reg. $18.50 now $13 ' Full Set Nails Reg. $50.00 now $45 Pedicure & Man Reg. $43.00 now $35 //$ fifiMRD j ! * H I an t * GAME P I Second Thursday i Next one Se Bring your favorite garr at Columbian 781-8 defeats Blue Hi took a pass from freshman forward [|^B Steve Pier and played the ball past the outstretched arms of PC goal- HI keeper Mark Albertus.

However, the soft-spoken senior tight end from North Augusta is beginning to ,get a lot of attention after being touted as an All-SEC candidate by a number of preseason publications. Yet, Campbell shrugs off the media attention and said that he only sees himself as a role player for the team. "The coaches promote that kind of stuff," he said. "They try to set a goal at the beginning of the season. My job is to try and obtain that goal, but not if it hurts the Gamecocks." Campbell, who had 10 catches for 115 yards in 1992, said he doesn't expect his role to change much this year. "It should be a balanced attack similar to last year," he said. "If my role is to be a blocker, that's fine. If it's to catch passes, that's fine, too."

PG proves : pays off % J mTk^ Campbell chances to doubt himself the past three seasons. He played only sparingly as a backup and on special teams his freshman campaign. In 1991, he sat out three games because of a severely sprained ankle. Each time, however, Campbell responded with patience and determination. "I had to work my way into the situation I'm in now," he said. "I accepted my role and had to wait." Unusually, Campbell, who is known for his soft hands, didn't become a tight end until his junior year in high school. "I played basketball until my junior year," he said, "and the coaches thought I was a little quicker off the ball. They moved me from the offensive line to tight end." Campbell might not be as outspoken or flashy as some of his teammates, but he can beat most of them in at least one sport: golf. He carries an eight handicap. No matter what the game is, one thing is for certain: Matthew Campbell always does what it takes to help his teammates. calculanore for Jiink. m the nthe lat easy. quations. llus efore Ice they of 11 convert le, enter s, and ion ? 548G fits Ter* or a id a free )ur ims for ceyboard, ograms college r J purchases i terms 12306B
