Gamecocks perfect at home

By Dalton Abel | Oct. 30, 2013

For the South Carolina women’s soccer team, there truly is no place like home. The Gamecocks (14-2-2, 7-2-1 SEC) have allowed just three goals in nine home games this season. Junior keeper Sabrina D’Angelo has posted six shutouts at home and has yet to give up multiple goals in any home game. South Carolina is a perfect 9-0 at Stone Stadium in 2013 and the team will return to its home grounds tonight to close out the season against Kentucky.

Volleyball loses both games over weekend

By David Roberts | Oct. 28, 2013

The ball screamed over the net to the Tennessee side. The Volunteers’ Lexi Dempsey turned as the ball deflected off her side and right back over the net, falling harmlessly in between a couple of Gamecock defenders for a point. Just like that, a surefire South Carolina kill turned into a point for the other team. If one kill could epitomize an entire match, it would be that one, as South Carolina fell 3-0 to Tennessee at home Friday.

Gamecocks win in spite of early mistakes

By Tanner Abel | Oct. 27, 2013

Before South Carolina’s dramatic comeback in the 27-24 victory over Missouri, it looked like mistakes would cost the Gamecocks the victory. The errors started with a missed 40-yard field goal in the first quarter by true freshman Elliott Fry, who redeemed himself later in overtime from the same distance.

By Kyle Heck | Oct. 27, 2013

1. Both teams’ quarterback situations are eerily similar. Both starters are out with injuries, but both teams have backups that are capable of filling in. How impressed was Missouri with the performance that Maty Mauk put on against Florida, and was it better than anticipated?
