But the four returning midfielders and three freshmen midfielders bring great talent and capability to complete the Gamecock midfield. The Defenders The Gamecocks' deeD defense welcomes back six players and brings in one freshman to complete a defense that contributed to 10 shutouts last season. After an outstanding sophomore season,. Scott Campagna will be called on to anchor the Gamecock defense. Campagna and junior Chris Morman, who started in all 20 Carolina matches, will lead the defense. Junior Anders Ronnevig played in the backfield last season and might move to the midfield this season because of the depth of the 1998 defense. David Tart is the only defenseman that the Gamecocks lose this season. Carolina will bring in freshman Frank Voll this season and expect and immediate impact. Voll, of Stavenger, Norway, played on the U16 and U-17 teams for Norway. The addition of Voll makes the Norwegian total four for the Gamecocks this season. "The backs should be a strong point for us," Berson said. "We have a nice blend of talented young players and experienced veterans returning." The Goalkeepers Henry Ring and Matt Landman, a strong goalkeeping duo, will return to the 1998 squad. Ring returns after an outstanding freshman season. Ring played in all 20 matches in 1997 and started in 18. Ring ended the season with 1.00 goals against average with 53 saves. Landman played in three matches last season and did not give up a goal. The Gamecock goalkeeping squad welcomes freshman Michael Bachmeyer. Bachmeyer is a technically sound keeper who brings a lot of promise to an already strong defensive unit. 'We feel that wp have a very good goal keeping team with Henry Ring and Matt Landman," Berson said. "Ring is one of the outstanding goalkeepers in the country, and Landman had a good season and an outstanding spring." The Gamecocks open up their 1998,on Sept. 1 at 7 p.m. when they host Coker College. All matches are played at Eugene E. Stone IH Stadium at the Graveyard, on the corner of Whaley and Sumter Streets.
