A week ago, the women's golf team earned back its spot at No. 1 in the nation in both Golfweek/Sagarin and Golfstat rankings. This weekend, the Gamecocks finished off their fall schedule and didn't do much to sacrifice that top-overall spot.
It would be easy for the South Carolina men’s soccer team to fold on the rest of the season with the slew of close losses it has endured.Yet with two games remaining in the regular season, head coach Mark Berson’s team is only looking forward in hopes of finishing above .500 for the first time since 2011.
“Finally." That’s what freshman Savannah McCaskill thought to herself after scoring her first collegiate goal against Florida Gulf Coast in September.
