£ what the coach always told us to do, to
keep our head in the game,” McBeth
said.
South Carolina 7, Delaware State 2
(Saturday)
The Gamecocks won game two of
a three-game series against DSU with a
final score of 7-2, increasing their 2001
record to 8-0.
In the bottom of the first, the
Gamecocks drove in two unearned runs
when DSU’s catcher, Roger Richardson,
dropped the ball after USC’s Tony Adler
struck out. This accounted for two
errors when Richardson missed the
first baseman.
In the third inning, freshman
V catcher Landon Powell hit his second
home run of the season, making the score
3-0. Jeffcoat also delivered a home run
in the fourth. This was Jeffcoat’s first
home run of the season.
Brennan Dees started the seventh
inning by hitting his seventh home run
in eight games.
“This was something I thought I’d
never achieve since I only hit ten home
runs out of 66 games last year,” Dees
said. “If you tip your hat at the pitcher
and let the aluminum lead the way, a
home run is sure to come.”
In that same inning, USC’s Chris
Bono hit a sacrifice fly that made the
score 7-1. DSU made one last attempt
to come back when they drove in one
run to end the game 7-2.
South Carolina 10, Delaware State 0 (Fri
day)
The Gamecocks added another win
by shutting out the Delaware State
Hornets in the first game of the series.
USC ace Kip Bouknight and two
relief pitchers dominated the defensive
end, allowing only two hits. Bouknight
allowed one hit, one walk and managed
to strike out six over the course of
seven innings.
The Gamecocks took the lead in the
first inning on a hit batter, two singles
and an infield out. During the second
inning, the Gamecocks increased the lead
by ninning in two more because of three
DSU errors and one hit.
With one out in the seventh inning,
Drew Meyer hit a line drive that hit
the batter’s background behind the
center field fence. The ruling at first was
that Meyer’s hit was aground-rule
double, but after re-evaluation, it was
decided that it was a three-run homer.
Earlier in the week, Meyer had been
hospitalized with a diagnosis of
intestinal flu.
“I made a late appearance in the
game. I wasn’t even sure if I was going
to be able to play because of my earlier
illness,” Meyer said. “I loosened up, I
got a good piece of it, and it got over the
fence.”
Following Meyer’s home run, Dees
hit his sixth home run in seven games,
making the score 7-0 by the close of the
seventh.

Miss was comfortably up by six.
“As you watch that game, you can
see the tenaciousness and determination
of a very, very tough-nosed basketball
team, particularly on the defensive end
of the court, “ Fogler said.
The Rebels weren’t just persistent
on defense, however. Ole Miss had a 24
7 advantage on USC in second-chance
points. Mississippi also out-rebounded
the Gamecocks 32-21.
“That’s a tough team to play,” South
Carolina point guard Aaron Lucas said.
“Every year, we expect that type of
intensity from Mississippi.”
The normally sure-handed Lucas was
also a victim of Ole Miss’ smothering
defense, turning the ball over four times.
“It’s a scary thing when you walk out
on the court and you see guys that play
that hard for 40 minutes,” Lucas said of
the Rebels. “We haven’t seen a team that
pressures the ball for 40 minutes like
that.”

Lady Gamecocks stumble to Kentucky on road
STAFF REPORTS
Shaunzinski Gortman’s last-second
shot Sunday fell off the back rim,
leaving South Carolina with a
disappointing 61-59 loss on the road at
Memorial Coliseum.
The loss dropped USC to 11-15 on
the season and 6-7 in the SEC, while
Kentucky improved its mark to 6-18
and 2-10 in the conference.
Gortman led South Carolina with
16 points and seven rebounds while
Selia Helm paced the Wildcats with 18
points.
Lady Gamecock Teresa Geter broke
a 10-year-old South Carolina
individual season block record in the
second half when she recorded her 54th
rejection of the year.
Down by two with seconds
remaining, Carolina inbounded the ball
to guard Nihan Anaz who quickly
brought the ball upcourt and found
Gortman at the top of the key.
Gortman law an opening and drove to
the baseline, putting up a running layup
attempt that rolled around the rim once
before falling off the back.
“I’m disappointed by our loss
today,” South Carolina head coach
Susan Walvius said. “We certainly were
prepared for Kentucky, and I thought
we had a chance to win today. You have
to give Kentucky credit because they
played hard and never quit. Last week
at our place, the ball bounced the right
ways for us, but today the ball bounced
in Kentucky’s favor.”
