e teams in the conference," Larkin said. "Defeating
Arkansas is a big upset, and we wanted
revenge for what they did to us in the SEC
-j Tournament last year."
Larkin had a triple-double for Carolina
.with 17 kills, 12 digs and 10 total blocks while
hitting a sparkling .421.
Also playing well were Edlund,
Laires and Moore.
Edlund had 55 assists and
* 4 five kills from the setter position.
J| Laires knocked down 16 kills and
jf- dug 21 balls on her way to hitting
-467 for the match. Moore had 17

?' For the match, Carolina
had 16 aces, which is the most aces
against an Arkansas team since
[ Oct. 9, 1994, when Georgia had 16 against
the Lady Razorbacks.
Although the Arkansas match was the
j big match of the weekend, the Gamecocks al?
so defeated LSU Friday night in three sets,
' 15-1,15-6,15-5.
Carolina thoroughly dominated the match
as was evident in Game 1, which took all of
14 minutes to complete.
Robarge had the big match for Carolina
with nine kills, one block solo, two block assists
and three digs. She also hit .643 for the
match.
After having surgery on her ankle in
April, this was the first big performance for
the Columbia native since coming back.
"It's been hard battling back, but Fm finally
starting to feel like Tm getting my game
back," the 1996 second-team All-SEC member
said. "Hopefully, this is just the beginning
of better things to come for me."
Up next for the Gamecocks is another
homestand this weekend. USC will host Mississippi
State Friday at 7 p.m. and Missis'
sippi Sunday at 2 p.m.

Saturday
| Gamecock Pride |
USC Head Football Coach Brad
Scott has always praised Gamecock
fans for their love and support.
Saturday was no exception when,
at the beginning of the Auburn pregs
conference, Scott thanked the fans for
supporting the team.
This statement, however, is an oxymoron.
I commend Coach Scott for
thanking the fans, but I totally disagree
with him on this subject.
I have been an avid Gamecock fan
for my entire life. I have gone to the
games, rain or shine, win or lose.
Sure, I've been discouraged, and
I've wanted to leave, but something always
keeps me at the games. Maybe
it s the possibility that Carolina could
actually win.
Let's go back in time to the 1992
season. Carolina went 0-5 until freshman
quarterback Steve Taneyhill came
in and lead the team to a 5-1 finish. I
Another example is the so-called
"Chicken Curse." Carolina had never
won a bowl game until Scott's first year
of coaching at USC when Carolina went
on to devastate West Virginia.
Face the fact that Carolina is not
playing well. The team and coaches are
discouraged. The fans are discouraged.
Yet, imagine what it would mean
to the players if the fans attempted to
stay in the stands and support the team.
Who knows, we could possibly encourage
them and lead the team to a
victory.
It's so much harder to put your
heart and soul into something when no
one is supporting you.
Our team and coaches are very talented
and capable.
I have full confidence that they can
pull this season out of the trenches and
make this a winning program.
For those of you who stayed late
into the fourth quarter, I congratulate
you.
You have shown what Gamecock
spirit is all about. Your dedication means
so much to the athletes and coaches.
A ? C? 1?0. 1?

and bashed the team, think about how
you would feel if you were doing something
extremely important and everyone
just left criticizing you.
That situation would make you
feel pretty bad. That's exactly how ,
the football team felt.
Therefore, next week when we play |
Kentucky, please show what true Gamecock
spirit is.
Our team needs our support because
where else will they get it?
