The 1998 Lady Gamecock cross
country team looks to combine the
talents of seasoned veterans with
a number of new faces in their
quest for the Southeastern Conference
Championship.
The team has set a goal for the
year: get back into the top six at
the SEC Cross Country Championships,
which will be held in
Knoxville, Tenn. In the always
tough SEC, Carolina will have its
work cut out, but with the leadership
of the returnee s and the talented
newcomers, cross country
coach Andrew Allden believes it's
a worthy goal.
In 1997, the team finished in
eighth place at the SEC Championship.
The Gamecocks are returning

has Berson excited
The Gamecocks lose Ail-American and firstround
draft pick Clint Mathis, as well as Mark
Anatol, David Tart, Robbie P&it and Laban
Chappell. 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. South Carolina students
with a valid student ID get into the events
for free.
