No. 5 Penn State edged the Game
cock men’s soccer team 2-1 in the first
round of the NIKE/Town Invitational.
Saturday’s game was scoreless after
the first half, with Carolina outshooting
the Nittany Lions 74. “
At the 58:24 mark, Penn State’s Blake
Novotny scored on a header off a comer
kick by Matt Leahy to give PSU its first
goal and a 1-0 lead.
Nearly six minutes later, the Game
cocks answered with a goal by freshman
David Testo. Testo sent the ball into the
back-left comer of the net from seven
yards out off a pass from Hans Whetstone.
With just 34 seconds left in regula
tion, Novotny scored again for the Nit
tany Lions, this time off an Andy Thomp
son assist, sending the Gamecocks to their
fifth loss of the season.
Henry Ring had three saves in the
game for USC.
Penn State improved to 14-2 with
the win, while USC dropped to 9-5-3.
Carolina was scheduled to battle No. 16
Old Dominion on Sunday in the tour
nament’s final match. Results weren’t
available at press time.

from page 10
A playoff looked inevitable.
There are times in a person’s life
where he or she has a chance to seize
the moment. And to everyone’s shock
and surprise, the father of two on his “
day made what NBC’s Johnny Miller,
the 1975 Open winner, called “the
greatest golf shot I have ever seen.”
With all the pressure you could ;
imagine, Payne Stewart made an up-'
hill, impossible putt look easy.
As the crowd went nuts, Stewart
yelled, and his caddie jumped into
his arms in jubilation. Stewart’s next
move was to walk over to the deflat
*
ed Mickelson. ’«
In one of the most poignant scenes
ever witnessed, Stewart grabbed the
face of Mickelson. With tears in his
eyes, he looked at him and whis
pered into Mickelson’s ear. The TV
camera barely picked it up, but the
words that came out were unexpect- „
ed. Stewart simply said, “There is noth
ing like being a father.”
The world needs more days like
these and more men like Payne Stew
art. There is something about a mo
ment in time that makes a grown man
cry. The world of golf will always re
member Stewart, and, if we heed his
words, we will all be better off.
