Kelly has started from the ground up since last spring in building her program. She has assembled a team made of all freshmen and juniors who transferred from other schools. "Due to injuries right now I do not have a pure starting eleven on the field, but I feel comfortable with the players I have," Kelly said. Carolina has some talented players, such as forward Debbie Smith, midfielder Lexi Tourellote and goal keeper Amy Toms. Smith, a native of England, has won a junior college national championship and also helped her women's club win a WFA Cup and a National League Cup championship in England.

Her third year as the Lady Gamecocks' coach begins tonight at 7 as Carolina plays host to Xavier in the first round of the Carolina Classic at the Sol Blatt P. E. Center. The Lady Gamecocks will have to replace three starters - Amy Iannocari, Jodie Thompson, and Katie Gerst - off last year's 24-12 team. Hudson believes the loss of those players will not spell immediate doom for the Lady Gamecocks, but give them a different way to spell relief this year. "Our team will have a totally different complexion than it did last season," Hudson said. "You can't replace seniors. You have to bring in new student-athletes to add to you strengths." Senior Kori Ermigarat and sophomore Heather Larkin, both All-SEC performers in *94, should headline Carolina's front line, with junior Kelly Morrow handling the setting chores. Gamecocks p PATRICK DOHERTY Senior Writer The USC men's soccer team, coming off a 5-0 win over Presbyterian College Wednesday, will play their first big game of the year when they travel upstate to take on the Clemson Tigers in Clemson Sunday. The team is not loaded with senior leadership, but it does have talent on its side. The Gamecocks looked good Wednesday night, and they hope to continue their success against the Tigers.
