Shortly after the halftime whistle, the newly christened "Spirit of South Carolina," a U.S. Air Force B-2 bomber, flew over the field. Rumor had it that Assistant Coach Doug Allison had ordered the flyover by the stealth aircraft that resembles a flyng wing, but he denied the accusation saying he had requested, "a boy with a VILC. Perhaps spurred on by the display if military firepower, the alumni scored ;hree unanswered second-half goals to soundly defeat the varsity 4-1. The alumli were anchored by four former Allamericans, including one national goalteeper of the year. The game started with the alumni ;eam looking like a group of seasoned veterans, as they controlled the ball for nuch of the first 15 minutes. The alumli defense was also made masterful use >f the offsides traps against a relativey unexperienced varsity squad. How:ver, the graduates managed only two shots on goal in that period.

The Gamecock looked to be on the verge of breaking the game open when Larusson and Chuck Prosser combined for several nice runs in the next minutes but were unable to capitalize.

Heidelbergeris shot rebounded off the bottom crossbar to the ground and back up before varsity keeper Jamie Starr could manage to control the ball. Later, Heidelberger indicated that from his vantage point, the ball had indeed crossed the goal line, but the official who was late in catching up to the play saw it differently. After halftime, Billy Baumhoff, a graduating senior, put the alumni squad up for good with a chip over Starr. Baumhoff s classmate, Jamie Posnanski, got the third goal for the alumni with a rocket shot off a comer kick. The fourth goal for the alumni was their best looking. Goalkeeper turned midfielder David Turner, who minded the nets for the 'Cocks during the 1993 NCAA Championship bid, chipped a short pass across the goal mouth to Grog King six yards out from the right post. King headed the ball toward the center af the goal, and Tom Reilly volleyed it past first-string keeper John Mills to ;lose out the scoring. Both sides were missing several key players. Chris Faklaris, Rob Smith, Billy Clifford and Clint Mathis were all absent because of commitments with the U.S. national squad. Faklaris and Smith are graduates, while Clifford and Mathis will return next year. Head Coach Mark Berson was not surprised with the skill and teamwork of the alumni team. He noted the experience of the squad whose members have oeen to the NCAA tournament in 10 of the past 11 years.
