Gamecocks stay foci
RYAN WILSON Sports Editor
Playing on the road is a reality for
any athletic team, but when a team lacks
mucn-neeaea veteran experience, tne
realities of life on the road are amplified.
No where is this more evident then
on the Carolina volleyball team who
dropped two road games last weekend,
"losing to Auburn 3-0 on Friday before
falling to Alabama Sunday 3-1.
Head coach Kim Hudson has stated
all-season long that her team's inexpe- tohL
rience would be a key factor in the team's wBL
success, but she refuses to make inexperience
the excuse for struggling in the
"The road trip was obviously tough
on us as a young team," Hudson said.
The team will have to regroup this week
and work hard in practice so we can still
accomplish a number of our goals."
The Gamecocks (12-8,3-5) return to

SEC Freshman of the Year.
J Edlirnd, who is closing in on the 900

jassist against LSU. Last week she av- .. 1
^eraged 12.77 assists per SEC match,
.good for first in the conference, while on
l the season she ranks second in the SEC
at 14 assists per match.
f? "She's doing a great job leading the
team," Hudson said. "In comparison of
jvhere we've been in the past we're ahead
in kills per game and attacking per(rentage
and that's largely due to Ash- "
