BRISTOW In the sports world these days, we seldom see many team players. These are the players whe play for the love of the game, have a respect foi the game, and don't have an ego that jumps of the wall. , . The majority of soccer players today are tean players. They don't care where they play, as long as they have a chance to showcase what they car do. These are the kinds of players that all sports need. One of these players is USC soccer's own Hen ry Ring. A redshirt sophomore out of Brent wood, Tenn., Ring demonstrates daily that hav ing a respect and love for the game will get yoi some in return. "More and more people are getting out there,' Ring says. "Like for that UCLA game, thai place was jumping. It was a great atmosphere For the school as a whole, people are hearing aboul : us." It isn't a surprise that more and more people are flocking to go see the USC soccer team. Thej currently are 10-3, and ranked No. 7 in the na tion. Just having a love and respect for the game doesn't always mean positive results will come your way. It also takes dedication, talent anc especially focus. "We are definitely focused," Ring said. "We an getting better every game. Another aspect of a good team is unity, something this Gamecock team is all about. "This tean is very tight; we're like a family," Ring says. Besides being a family on the field, this team is together off the field too. Ring explained that the team was "out there for 2 1/2 hours every day. After this we are always hanging out." Unity is one thing that can make or break a team. Luckily, this team is a family ? something that will prove very important come tourna ment time. Ring, now in his second full Season, has defi nitely earned his spot in goal. Last year, aftei much work and improvement, he was namec starter only after the third game of the season Before coming to Carolina, Ring was an UM BRO/NSCAA Ail-American, as well as the Ten nessee player of the year and the Gatorade player of the year. Even though he was the top goalkeeping prospect from Tennessee, Henry wasn't offered a scholarship to any big school. Did You Know... Plasma is an essential fluid of lift for good quality plasma.
