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.”

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.

Mass Immigration or Moderation?
Immigration can make — or break — a country. The key issue is numbers. The
U5. Census Bureau projects that U.S. population may double within fifty
r years — lo more than half a billion — if the current
unprecedented levels of immigration continue.
Long before then, such explosive growth will place serious strain
on the environment, natural resources, and social harmonv.
