Last weekend, the USC women's soccer team suffered two consecutive losses on a road trip which left the team emotionally drained and looking for answers. How has the team responded since then? In their last two games, the Lady Gamecocks have overwhelmed their opponents, outscoring them 11-2. And after Sunday's convincing 6-1 triumph over UNC Asheville, thanks to a trio of freshmen and two playmaking veterans, the team looks ready to put aside past demons and get on with the rest of the season. USC wasted no time Sunday, scoring just two minutes into the match. Freshman Morgan Mclntyre broke free and blasted a shot into the right corner of the goal past UNC Asheville's diving goalie, Christine Geske. "Mandy [Pavlovits] won a header, I got to the ball and heard everyone yell 'Shoot it! Shoot it!' so I did," Mclntyre said. Six minutes later, the team's leading scorer, Jennie Ondo, dribbled around three Lady Bulldog defenders and poked a shot past the keeper to make the score 2-0. The Lady Gamecocks dominated the majority of the first half, attacking relentlessly and keeping UNC Asheville on their heels. After the team barely missed a few shots on goal, junior Mandy Pavlovits took a pass from Mindy Sanders in the box and scored to make it 3-0 with six minutes to go in the half. It looked as if USC would have a shutout going into halftime. However, with 48 seconds left, the Lady Bulldogs' McKenzie Miller intercepted a lazy pass, in the box and lifted the ball right over the head of Carolina goalie Carrie Warner, making the score 3-1 going into the lockerroom. "I was very pleased. We came out very strong and started well. Our setbacks were short-lived," commented USC coach Sue Kelly. "We came out in the second half and were very composed." The Lady Gamecocks did exactly that. Controlling the rest of the game, Carolina played smart and waited for their chances, finally getting one with 21:20 left.

But the Lady Gamecocks didn't stop then Just over a minute later, another freshman, L] dia Bienias, scored. "I got a beautiful cross from Mindy [Sanden and I was there to flick it in," said Bienias, a n; tive of Gig Harbor, Wash. Finally, with 11:26 left, Jennie Ondo cappe off the scoring, with her second goal of the garni Defender Angela Austin served Ondo the ball o a breakaway that left the UNC Asheville goal: helpless.

While it may have j played out better on television, Carolina j Coliseum emptied to a chorus of boos Monday night following the final match. What could have been a terrific main \ event between Sting and Bret The Hitman" Hart for the U.S. heavyweight title quick- 1 ly fizzled into another NITRO bust. In yet another instance, the main event had no winner. This time the two men merely fought backstage to close the show, leaving fans in the arena to watch the action on the big screen. Hart and Sting put on a tremendous brawl, but those who paid for seats got just what those at home did. What could have been a great brawl between Kevin Nash and Scott Hall wound up taking place at a local bar and not at the Coliseum. So, fans at the arena did not see the Wolfpac in the ring. Early in the show, the Wolfpac attacked nWo Hollywood, but all of this action occurred in the lockerrooms. The Wolfpac did go to the extreme by busting up a nWo Hollywood limousine. This event featured Sting picking up the limo with a forklift and dumping it on its side. What was almost a great match between Diamond Dallas Page and Kanyon, which actually took place in the ring, faded into a disqualification. The two went to the limit, featuring new and innovative maneuvers. However, no decision was rendered as Raven interfered in the end. "What about me?" Raven said over the microphone. Many fans in the crowd then said, "What about us?" WCW used World Champion Goldberg twice Monday. His first appearance, a match with Disco Inferno, was at 7:15, before half of the crowd got there. His second and final appearance was his predictable run-in to save DDP from Raven and Kanyon. WANTI By The S.

While Eric Bischoff begged Flair to come to the ring, he got the 10-year)ld Reid, instead. Reid and Arn Anderson proceeded to humiliate Bischoff on his show, featuring a Reid takedown of the boss. Ric Flair trotted to ringside with "2001" blarng to confront Bischoff, but that never took place as the nWo fled the ring with the ippearance of the other Horsemen. The 'family reunion" of sorts by the Horsemen vas indeed one of their classic moments. The "family night" theme started earlier in the show when Buff Bagwell was con ironted by his angry mother. Judy Bagwell jave Buff a severe tongue-lashing for his recent antics, including his faked injuries. She then slapped Buff and dragged him all ;he way to the lockerroom by the ear. As for Hulk Hogan and The Warrior, Hogan did come out for an interview, but rhe Warrior never showed his face in the irena. He merely ran personal speeches on ihe television.
