Balanced scoring and senior leadership were at the heart of a record-breaking season for the South Carolina women’s soccer team in 2013.
The days that sisters Kellie and Taylr McNeil have spent playing volleyball together can be traced back years, to a volleyball net in a backyard over 1,200 miles away from USC.

Will Murphy has acquired a skill that is very important to achieve success in golf: a short memory. Just a few months ago at the NCAA men’s golf championship, the then-junior was in a solid position to lead the Gamecocks to qualify for the match play portion of the championship.
Hopping on any bandwagon seems to get a bad rap nowadays. Maybe Miami Heat fans are to blame, or maybe those on the wagon no longer want to share the glory with new arrivals. But what if someone gets on the bandwagon, climbs to the front and steers it to new heights?

But he thinks the team is better for it. “We got off to a slow start, but I think what I was most pleased about with the group last year was their mental toughness,” Berson said.
The demeanor of the women’s soccer team immediately shifts when any mention of the Stanford game occurs.
As much as we would like to believe it, Carolina isn’t the only team out there. Here are some other games every college football fan should watch this season.
I love college football. I really do. Waking up to watch College Gameday and spending the afternoon watching football with my dad are some of the best memories I have from my childhood.
