IDie Gamecock Women’s soccer to take on Furman by Chris Foy The Gamecock After beating Alabama 3-1 on Sun day, a resurged USC women’s soccer team (4-13, 1-7 SEC) looks to make it two in a row tonight as they head to Greenville to take on the Furman Paladins (17-1,9-0). Furman concluded its second straight undefeated Southern Con ference season last week with two wins. The Paladins defeated UNC Greensboro 1-0 and Wofford 6-1. • USC defeated Wofford 3-2 earlier this season. With the conclusion of their conference play this season, Furman now has won 21 straight Southern Conference games. Their streak is the second longest active winning streak in a conference right behind Florida. Their record of 37-4 since the start of the 1999 season is also the second best in the nation right behind Nebraska. Furman’s success throughout their 2000 campaign can be attributed to outstanding play from the team on the whole. They have tallied 74 goals on the year off of 369 shots. The goalies have also posted 91 saves. The Paladins are led by freshman Emily Turgeon, who leads the nation in points with 55. Turgeon has 19 goals and 17 assists on the year. Melissa Turner is also a serious offensive threat, as she has made 18 goals and nine assists for 45 points. This past weekend brought hope to a South Carolina team that has gone through many trials this season. Al though they have had their ups and downs, the Gamecocks are trudging through the remainder of this season with hopes of building for next sea son. The offense looked stellar in both games as the team put up five goals on the weekend. Against Auburn, freshman midfielder Melissa Hutson scored her first collegiate goal and ju nior midfielder Lydia Bienias put in her second goal of the season. Fresh man forward Amy Caddies also notched her second goal of the sea son against the Crimson Tide. Despite an injury plagued season, South Carolina has still found reason for optimism. Freshman forward Becca Epstein has emerged as the leader of this team with six goals and three assists for a team-leading 15 points. Morgan McIn tyre has also been strong this season, with five goals for 10 points. It has been a frustrating year for South Carolina head coach Sue Kel ly, and she remains humble after the team’s first SEC victory. Yet while she gives Furman their due credit for their tremendous success this season, she isn’t ready to throw in the towel just yet. “Furman has had an absolutely ex cellent year,” Kelly said. “We’ve al ways had success against Furman, but it’s relative right now based on our track record this year. They haven’t beaten South Carolina in six years and they probably think this might be their chance. We’re still piecing it togeth er.” “We’re going to take it bit by bit,” she said. “We’ll take Furman 10 min utes at a time if we have to.” The sports desk can be reached at gamecocksports@hotmail.com. Kelo-Wits from page 10 two are sure to make you lock your doors and bolt your windows. Two records which most peo ple thought would never be broken fell this past weekend. When a play er who most sports fans haven’t even recognized as a star halfback, Corey Dillon, rushes for 278 yards, eclipsing hall of famer Walter Pay-' ton’s record of 275,1 could feel the ground begin to quake. Maybe just as momentous as Dillon’s record setting performance was his team’s victory over the Denver Broncos. It was the Bengals first win this sea son. Dillon wasn’t the only NFL record breaker on Sunday. Football journeyman Gary Anderson also had his day in the sun, when he broke George Blanda’s record for total points in a career. Anderson kicked two field goals and two PAT’s on Sunday to surpass Blan da, who compiled 2,002 points over 26 seasons. Maybe more amazing than the record itself is the manner in which Anderson broke it. Anderson com piled his record 2,004 points over 18 seasons and did so all as a kick er. Fifty-four of Blanda’s points came when he was playing quar terback. So, with all these records being broken, baseball purists being lost, and the Gamecocks competing for an SEC title, the world is as sure to end as A1 Gore is to tell more lies. Until next time, heed my advice and stay out of harm’s way. Jared Kelowitz can be reached at gamecocksports@hotmail.com.
