10 Gamecock track and field competitors left the West Coast as All-Americans.
Both South Carolina golf teams used strong performances at their respective NCAA Championships to shatter program records.
South Carolina’s roller-coaster ride of a season came to an unexpected halt Sunday night after its second loss to Maryland in as many days trounced them from the regional tournament.
Regional host South Carolina used a dominant pitching performance from freshman Wil Crowe Sunday afternoon to keep its postseason hopes alive in a 9-0 throttling of Campbell.
In Friday’s tilt against Campbell, if there was one thing the Gamecocks had, it was starting pitching. Friday starter Jordan Montgomery pitched into the ninth inning, and seemed to control every aspect of the ball game.
Just one outing after being ripped to the tune of four earned runs over three and 2/3 innings by Mississippi State, junior Jordan Montgomery bounced back in a big way, earning a win in a 5-2 victory over Campbell Friday night.
As expected, former South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney didn’t have to wait long to hear his name called in Thursday night’s NFL Draft. But there were a number of other Gamecocks with dreams of a career in professional football waiting to find a team this weekend.
After months of speculation and years of preparation, Jadeveon Clowney finally has an NFL team after being selected No. 1 overall in the 2014 draft by the Houston Texans.
After winning Friday’s opener and dropping game two Saturday, the South Carolina baseball team (34-11, 12-9 SEC) took a 9-3 win over Alabama to clinch the series.
It was a low-scoring affair Saturday afternoon at Carolina Stadium, as the Gamecocks would only score one run in a 2-1 loss to Alabama.
Before the South Carolina baseball team kicked off its three-game set against Alabama, head coach Chad Holbrook called it the “biggest series of the year.”
Head baseball coach Chad Holbrook doesn’t think this weekend’s series against Alabama will make or break the Gamecocks’ chances of earning a national seed in the NCAA tournament.
Breezy conditions and fresh cut greens await the South Carolina men’s golf team as they travel to St. Simons Island, Ga., for the SEC tournament.
The Gamecock softball team took care of business Wednesday night, making quick work of the Bulldogs from South Carolina State University in a 5-1 result, highlighted by home runs from sophomore Ansley Ard and junior Olivia Lawrence.
The South Carolina baseball team took its time getting on the board Wednesday, falling into an early deficit against USC Upstate, but the Gamecock bats would come alive in due time to secure a 6-1 victory over the Spartans.
After two weeks of turmoil in the South Carolina baseball team was ended with a series victory at Auburn, the arrow was seemingly pointing up for the Gamecocks when they took on Davidson Tuesday night.
The ball splashed into the sand, and junior Paige Wheeler and sophomore Sarah Blomgren faced each other, bear-hugging in the middle of the court.
