single-season scoring record held by
Clark Brisson (1989).
Sophomore Kristinn Larusson made
the lead 2-0 when he connected on a
penalty shot that was assessed because
Mathis was hauled down inside the 18yard
box. That would be all the scoring
in the first half.
In the second half the Gamecocks
continued to pressure the Cougars as
they scored three more goals. Mathis'
second of the day came just right of the
net when he shot a Jeff Wilson crossing
pass to the lower left side at 49:44.
Senior Sigmar Scheving scored his
first goal of the season at 66:16 after taking
a Mike Solano pass and dribbled
down the left side and beat Cougar goalkeeper
Brian Cherry to the right side
from about 10 yards out.
