GOP leads ‘Fire Pelosi’ Chairman Steele to visit campus, hold rally Friday
NEWS EDITOR
Josh Dawsey It seems USC students are fi nally getting the message regarding student tickets. At least more of them are. At Saturday’s 17-6 win over Georgia 646 students with tickets neither entered the stadium nor canceled their tickets, disqualifying them for season tickets for the remainder of the 2010 season. That number is significantly down from last week’s matchup against Southern Miss, when more than 1,200 students were noshows at the game without fi rst canceling their tickets. Student ticketing officials chose not to disqualify any students for the fi rst game. At least 9,104 students made their way into the student section Saturday, compared to 8,18 8 la st week ag a i n st S out her n Miss. The number of tickets allotted and distributed this week increased by 350 to 9,750.

This fall, several off-campus housing complexes saw increases in occupancy while University Housing made space for thousands of students despite the closing of one of its dorms for renovation. Housing Director Kirsten Kennedy said that despite losing roughly 605 beds while Patterson Hall is being renovated this academic year and facing the arrival of the largest incoming freshman class in school history, the University Housing office only saw a housing wait list increase of roughly 30 students. Kennedy said that the method used to place students in housing is the reason so many students were successfully housed despite the loss of bed space and the large freshman class. “ We h a v e t o p l a n h o u s i n g f o r upperclassmen the following year before we know the size of the freshman class then figure where to place the freshman when space becomes limited,” Kennedy said.

SC college entrance exam scores drop 2 points COLUMBIA — The average SAT scores for South Carolina’s graduating seniors fell two points this year, a small decrease that follows last year’s nine-point drop, according to data released Monday by the test’s administrator. The average score for public school students was 1,443, compared with a national average of 1,497, according to the College Board. When including scores from private and home-school students, the state average score increased to 1,447, which is five points lower than last year, and compares to a national average of 1,509. The test, which combines separate scores for critical reading, mathematics and writing, has a maximum possible score of 2,400. Nine South Carolina school districts and 38 high schools had average scores better than the national average.
The state Education Department said 5 percent more South Carolina public school students took the test this year than last year: 20,530 compared with 19,500. Overall, the number of test-takers was 25,122 — about 100 fewer than last year. The scoring gap between white and black students dropped by 11 points in South Carolina this year compared with 2009. But white South Carolina test-takers still scored an average of 288 points higher than black test-takers on the 2010 test. “South Carolina is doing dramatically better with access,” state Education Sup er i ntendent Ji m Re x sa id i n a statement. “More minorit y and lowincome students are aiming for college than ever before, and many more of those students are taking the SAT, ACT and AP exams.

Imam says mosque not on ‘hallowed ground’ NEW YORK — It is two blocks from ground zero, but the site of a proposed mosque and Islamic center shouldn’t be seen as “hallowed g rou nd” in a neighborhood that also contains a strip club and a betting parlor, the cleric leading the effort said Monday. M a k i n g a n a r d e nt c a s e f o r t he compatibility of Islam and American values, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf reiterated that he is searching for a solution to the furor the project has created. But he left unanswered exactly what he had in mind. If anything, Rauf only deepened the questions around the project’s future, telling an audience at the Council on Foreign Relations think tank that he was “exploring all options” — but declining to specify them — while also arguing that a high-profile site is necessary to get across his message of moderate Islam. While opponents of the project see it as
insulting the memories of the thousands killed by Muslim extremists in the 2001 terrorist attacks, Rauf said he doesn’t see the spot as sacred memorial space. “It’s absolutely disingenuous, as many have said, that that block is hallowed ground,” Rauf said, noting the nearby exotic dance and betting businesses. “So let’s clarify that misperception.” Some Sept. 11 victims’ families and others view the proposed mosque site — in a building damaged in the attacks — as very much part of the terrain of death and sorrow surrounding the trade center. “I just think he’s being very insensitive to say it’s not hallowed ground because of who’s occupying the buildings,” said Jim Riches, a former New York City deputy fi re chief whose son, Jimmy, was killed at the trade center. “The strip club didn’t murder my son.”

Cuba to cut nearly 10 percent of employees HAVANA — Cuba announced Monday it will cast off at least half a million state workers by early next year and reduce restrictions on private enterprise to help them find new jobs — the most dramatic step yet in President Raul Castro’s push to radically remake employment on the communist-run island. Castro suggested during a nationally televised address on Easter Sunday that as many as 1 million Cuban workers — about one in five — may be redundant. But the government had not previously laid out specific plans to slash its work force, and the speed and scope of the coming cutbacks were astounding. Cuba’s of f icial work force is 5.1 million — meaning nearly 10 percent of all employees could soon be out of a government job. Workers caught off guard by the a n nou ncement sa id t he y wor r ied whether the tiny private sector could support so many new jobs, a sentiment echoed by some analysts. “For me the problem is the salaries, t hat’s t he root of it,” said A lberto Fuentes, a 47-year-old government worker. “If they fire all of these people, how can they all become self-employed?” The layoffs will start immediately and continue through April 2011, according to a statement from the nearly 3 millionstrong Cuban Workers Confederation, which is affiliated with the Communist Party and the only labor union allowed b y t h e g o v e r n m e n t . Ev e n t u a l l y the state will only employ people in “indispensable” areas such as farming, construction, industry, law enforcement and education. To soften the blow, the statement —
which appeared in state newspapers and was read on television and radio — said the government would increase privatesector job opportunities, including allowing more Cubans to become selfemployed. They also will be able to form cooperatives run by employees rather than government administrators, and increasingly lease state land, businesses and infrastructure. The announcement was short on details of how such a major shift could be achieved, but its intent appeared to deal a body-blow to the decades-old social safety net upon which the island’s egalitarian society is built. Castro has long complained t hat Cubans expect too much from t he g over n ment , wh ic h p ay s aver ag e monthly salaries of just $20 but also provides free education and health care and heavily subsidizes housing, transportation and basic food. Because u ne mplo y me nt i s a n at he m a i n a communist society, state businesses have been forced to carry many people who do almost nothing. “Our state cannot and should not c o nt i nue s up p or t i n g b u s i ne s s e s , production entities and services with i n f lated pay rol ls, a nd los se s t hat hu r t ou r economy a re u lt i m ately counterproductive, creating bad habits and distorting worker conduct,” the union said. Even before t he a n nou ncement, interviews with scores of workers across several government sectors showed that layoffs were already under way — with many complaining the state was not doing enough to find them new jobs.

HOUSING ● Continued from 1 Housing was forced to get creative in order to assure that everyone was given a space. “This year we have some [Resident Mentors] living with roommates in places where they would normally have a room to themselves to ensure everyone had a place,” Kennedy said. Although University Housing was able to fit as many students as possible, ultimately not all students who applied for campus housing could be placed into the dorms. Students who turned to off-campus housing were also faced with limited spaces that fi lled quickly. University Oaks reported that occupancy is at 99 percent, a 15-percent increase from the fall of 2009. The Woodlands is at 99-percent capacity, similar to their occupancy from the fall of 2009. Copper Beech reached 100-percent capacity, compared to 96 percent in 2009. Stadium Suites is at 98-percent capacit y, considerably higher than their occupancy rate in 2009. For some students, the move off campus was relatively stress-free and provided a refreshing change. Third-year criminal justice student Mike Paglucci said the decision to move off campus was an easy one. “I was tired of living on campus, so when I didn’t get housing on campus, I wasn’t too concerned,” Paglucci said. “I also was fortunate enough to know people who already lived off campus, so I had a good idea of where I wanted to live.” Kennedy said that construction on Patterson Hall is running on schedule, and the building will be ready to re-open next fall for the 2011-12 school year, although at a slightly smaller capacity. “W hen Patterson reopens, it will have approximately 560 to 570 beds,” Kennedy said. The reason for the reduced capacity, Kennedy said, is that the dorm is being reconfigured to a suite-style format. “Students have said that the suite st yle is preferred, so we are trying to accommodate them with this renovation,” Kennedy said.

Recycling should be mandatory for bars The City of Columbia recently received a $100,000 grant to start a glass recycling initiative in bars and restaurants. The program will go into effect on Jan. 1. Though the city will be footing the bill to have recycling bins placed both inside and outside of these establishments to make recycling a convenient possibi l it y, w it hout “The city needs mandating recycling the money will be wasted. to take away the The mere presence of option of filling our t he bins will not be enough incent ive to landfills with glass.” make bar person nel sort the constant flow of recyclables coming from thirsty patrons at peak drinking hours. Many businesses may see the added step as nothing more than an expendable hassle if they aren’t required to recycle glass bottles they sell. Though these business owners aught to realize how much of an impact recycling in bars and restaurants will make on the community, now and in the future, the city needs to take away the option of needlessly filling our landfills with glass. Though most Saturday night customers are most concerned with not wasting a single drop of beer, we hope bar owners will concern themselves with not wasting resources now that the means for recycling will be available.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Quick assumptions ignore positive effects of Greek Life philanthropy In response to the article “Smashing fruit won’t feed world,” the author of the article was obviously uninformed about the nature of Lambda Chi Alpha event. She made quick assumptions after simply walking past our field day, which was only a small portion of the week-long event. She failed to realize the positive effects for this charity by our event occurring. Not only did we contribute a large monetary and canned goods donation to the North American Food Drive, but we provided support to local farmers by purchasing their crops. We also raised awareness across the University campus for the North American Food Drive by holding our event in a public forum. In order to get people excited enough to contribute, you have to come up with something other than just asking for money for cans — you have to
come up with a reason for people to want to be involved. Our philanthropy is currently one of the most successful Greek Life philanthropies across the country in terms of dollars and cans raised, which are in conjunction with the North American Food Drive. This event was entirely afforded through our budget and not funded by the University or any other entity. This event is done at hundreds of chapters all over the country and contributes to raising millions of pounds of cans per year for needy families. We just want everyone in the Carolina Community to understand that our event is done with the utmost respect and consideration for those in need. We are not trying to contradict ourselves in anyway but are trying only to raise awareness and donations for a worthy cause. -Harrison Kirschbaum Fourth-year management and marketing student

Xenophobia at root of Anti-Islamic hysteria A merican perception of Muslims follows patterns of past immigration This past weekend, amid football games and 9/11 memorials, many Americans were able to take a sigh of relief as Pastor Terry Jones decided not to go through with his planned “Burn a Quran Day.” It certainly seems like this summer’s anti-Islamic hysteria has reached its climax. I certainly have wondered, as a country that promotes peace, prosperity and all the freedoms we need, how have we come this far to let hate, ignorance and paranoia blind us so? It’s then that I realized, for a country that touts itself to be a melting pot, we are, and have been, a pretty xenophobic country since our founding. Not to sound like a jaded cynic, but America was founded by a bunch of WASPs — White Anglo-Saxon Protestants — and unless you fall into this category, life for many in the first generation has been difficult. Muslims in A merica, many of whom are citizens, are facing a brunt of irrational and ignorant fears that reach back hundreds of years.
The type of prejudice American Muslims face reminds us very much of the type that Japanese Americans saw after Pearl Harbor, when a group of Americans saw themselves irrationally blamed and scrutinized for the actions of an entirely different group of people simply because they shared the same heritage and culture. Americans’ fears of outsiders do not fall simply on those who look different or those who are not Michelle Christians. We forget that many Fantone of us who are of Irish heritage Fourth-year have ancestors who faced “Irish political science and sociology need not apply” signs as they student tried to establish lives in America. The Protestant suspicions of Catholicism continued into the 20th century as many people were afraid that the election of John F. Kennedy would put America under the control of the pope. Almost every major immigrant wave has seen a negative backlash from Americans, from the current illegal immigrant situation going

back to the huge Irish, Eastern European and Chinese immigrations in the 19th century. With each of these ethnic groups came the fears of losing jobs to newcomers and the overthrow of American culture with their new religions and customs. While this recurring cycle of xenophobia is extremely worrying, it also gives us hope. We clearly haven’t sunk to the levels of our predecessors and begun throwing American Muslims into internment camps. Many fears of past immigrant groups eventually were absolved. As more and more Catholics have ascended into politics, many have realized that the pope in no way has control over our government. Clearly the Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor were not undercover spies and the past waves of immigrants have not disrupted or taken over A merican societ y. Instead, they have all added to the intricate blend that America has become. We can all hope with time and education that this recent anti-Muslim craze will fall by the wayside and we can learn to accept our fellow Americans regardless of their unique culture and religion.
I k now you have seen or heard t he “maverick,” Sarah Palin, say something so absurd that you can’t help but wonder why a nyone voted her into office. From her overuse of the “hockey m o m ” i m a g e to her abilit y to George Hinchliffe make up First-year words, it’s broadcast a wonder journalism w h y student people are pushing for her to run for president in 2012. I always thought Palin was putting up a front to woo over the hearts of the American people, but more and more I see she might actually be as stupid as she seems. I can’t believe someone wou ld pu r posely use words like “refudiate,” “m i s u nde r e s t i m at e” and “wee-wee’d up” in telev ision inter v iews with the knowledge that they were made up only moments before. A nd even better, Fox News continues to use her as a political correspondent when all this Alaskan hockey mom seems able to produce are massive face-palms rather than i n s i g ht . A p p a r e nt l y Fox News, thinks she ha s what it t a ke s to be a political analyst, which only helps prove they only hire the most biased, egot ist ical, hotheaded divas to air on their shows. I can only wonder how she wrote a book. I can’t say I have read it, nor can I say I felt the need to. In doing so, I will only do two things: slam my head against the wall and give her and her family money. I don’t want to do either. By buying the book, it would show that Palin is still relevant in modern political culture. If she so wholly claims t o b e a s m a l l- t o w n g i rl, why wou ld her opinion mattered on the building of a mosque in downtown New York? Why can she tell Obama to fire Rahm Emanuel after his use of the word “retard” only to tell Dr. Laura Schlessinger that her repeated use of the “n-word” was acceptable to say on the radio due to First Amendment rights? Sarah, please just hide away and shield America from your pure stupidity.

Slammin’ poet comes to Art Bar Knoxville-based Lane Shuler brings unique brand of poetry to Columbia Robin Washington
THE DAILY GAMECOCK
Slam poetry — quick, thoughtful, creative competition. Lane Shuler is one of many rising slam poets. Tonight, you can catch him at Columbia’s own Art Bar at 8 p.m., where Shuler will be performing one of his new longer pieces. Don’t know much about the “sport?” That’s OK; it’s a growing artful talent. Slam poets create two- to threeminute pieces that are usually fast-paced and typically rhyme. They can range anywhere from thoughts on politics to ever yday issues. Tournaments are held throughout the country, champions are made and poets are formed. Shuler claims that he stands apart from many of his local competitors. He’s from Knoxville, Tenn., where he competes against many other poets. “A lot of other slam poets make their works too personal,” Shuler said when asked what makes him stand out. “I want people to hear what I have to say and relate it back to their own life. I want them to think about how it directly affects them.” Slam poetry is growing faster than those outside the particular artistic sphere would guess. One of the latest tournaments Shuler participated in was Southern Fried 2010, held in Knoxville from June 2 to 5, where he said he performed very well. Poets form teams of four to five people and are then ranked on their individual poems. Five random people are then chosen out of the audience to score the works they have just seen. Though Shuler is visiting Columbia from Tennessee, he knows of many other local slam poets. Some call cities with a wealth of slam poets “slam cities,” where many poets gather to show off their skills. Many of Shuler’s works are underlined with the passage of time. His pieces are very thought provoking and derive from many of life’s challenges. “We aren’t here on Earth for very long, and I’m here to remind people of that,” he said in a piece.
Courtesy of Lane Shuler
Lane Shuler uses passionate, optimistic life views and experiences to capture audiences during his performances. He pointed out that if you’re 20, you can only repeat everything you’ve done three more times in your lifespan (if you’re lucky). How many college-aged students have possibly realized this when planning their weekends? The way the art is performed, with emphasis on certain words and sounds, is designed to captivate the audience. When watching him perform, one can tell when Shuler feels strongly about a subject. The passionate way he emphasizes things makes sure to grab and direct his audience’s attention to crucial aspects of the performance. One of his most passionate creations is a slam poem about his grandfather, who passed earlier this year. Though the loss marked a tough time for Shuler, he
makes sure to see the bright side of life. The witty poet stated, “A three-legged dog still has three good legs. It could always be worse.” His chipper outlook on life shows throughout his work. Even if slam poetry is not your cup of tea, there’s something about Lane Shuler’s work that you can’t stop watching. His art instills lingering thoughts on life, time and how precious every part of human existence can be. His performance at 8 p.m. at Art Bar will certainly be a motivational show you won’t want to miss. Comments on this story? E-mail gamecockfeatures@sc.edu
Toronto International Film Festival Bloggers, critics react to TIFF’s fall movie lineup Jimmy Gilmore THE MIX EDITOR
and within a variety of social media. With Twitter offering instant gut reactions, “the bloggers” can now beat “the critics” to the punch at festivals, publishing their reactions long before someone like Ebert has even sorted through his feelings on the film. While “Hereafter” has been emblematic of the potential problems with new forms of film reception, director Robert Redford’s “The Conspirator” has only benefited. A film about the plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln, the film has provoked positive buzz from major industry papers like the Hollywood Reporter as it fights to find a distributor. Meanwhile, at least t wo f ilms have emerged as potential late-year favorites. The aforement ioned “Never Let Me Go,” starring Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley, scooped up plenty of hesitant praise for its beautiful but difficult adaptation of the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, but the discussion it’s churning up will ensure it gets a major distribution later this year. Additionally, director Darren Aronofsky’s (“The Wrestler,” “Requiem for a Dream”) “Black Swan” continues to stun viewers who already raved it at Venice. The tale of an obsessive ballerina (Academy Award nominee Natalie Portman) has already attracted adjectives like “spectacular” from Salon’s Andrew O’Heir, “unbearable nailbiting suspense” from the New York Post’s Lou Lumenik and “audaciously weird and scary” from Cinemablend’s Katey Rich. Yes, it’s time to feel that anticipation build. Festival season is unlike any other because it’s not driven by massive ad campaigns like summer blockbusters. It’s driven — now more than ever — by reception, by reading what others say and hoping certain films get enough attention to warrant a full-scale theatrical release and potentially Academy Awards consideration. Like Sundance and Cannes, Toronto is where classics can really be born. It’s where filmmakers can collectively show off their work and stand proudly next to it. That’s Entertainment.
It’s time to get serious, movie watchers. It’s time to build anticipation and scour the Internet to read as many reviews and analyses we can as we build anticipation for the massive slate of late fall releases. Yes, it’s time for TIFF. The Toronto International Film Festival has experienced such exponential growth in the last decade and helped sell so many influential and award-winning films that it’s quickly gained a reputation as one of the year’s go-to festivals to get a sense of what the broader international film community has to offer. W hile Sundance still has the allure of letting the forerunners of America’s i ndependent a nd qua si-i ndependent f i l m ma ker s m i ngle w it h t he t r ue independents trying to break out, and Cannes will always have the distinction of being one of the globe’s most prestigious f e s t i v a l s , To r o nt o h a s e me r g e d a s another crucial beast — a festival that lets filmmakers, distribution heads and entertainment writers come together to preview the upcoming months and secure exhibition rights for potentially major films. This year, Toronto is taking place on the heels of the Venice Film Festival, which wrapped over t he weekend ; Academy Award winner Sofia Coppola (“Lost in Translation”) won that festival’s top honor for her new film, “Somewhere.” While Coppola’s film has been on the radar for months, Toronto has let audiences on this side of the Atlantic get a real hard look at some of the most hyped upcoming releases — among them Clint Eastwood’s “Hereafter” and Mark Romanek’s “Never Let Me Go.” East wood’s film, about how several individuals deal with death and the question of the afterlife, has already provoked some disconnect between audiences — several established critics, such as Roger Ebert, are already raving it, while many festival- Comments on this story?

Joe Montana made comments slamming exaggerated storytelling in “Rudy” last week.
Joe Montana tries to sack ‘Rudy’ movie mythology Neal Hughes
STAFF WRITER
When discussing Notre Dame football and the prominent people who have been involved in that organization over the years, a typical conversation will usually reference Joe Montana , Tim Brown , Knute Rockne , maybe mention of the “Gipper,” but almost always there will be a reference to possibly Notre Dame’s most famous player, Rudy Ruettiger. After having one of the greatest sports films chronicle his struggle and work ethic, Ruettiger skyrocketed to fame and into the pantheon of Notre Dame’s gridiron greats. This feel-good story has touched the lives of millions and inspired many more. Almost no man can watch the film without the gentle prick of emotion — well, except Joe Montana. In a recent interview with Dan Patrick of Sports Illustrated, Joe Montana did an excellent job of myth busting, and thoroughly rained on “Rudy’s” parade. Montana was quoted as say ing t hat carrying Rudy off the field was “playing around,” “the crowd wasn’t chanting” (t ha n k s, Mont a na, for r u i n i ng t he emotional climax) and the scene where the players turned in their jerseys so Ruettiger could play didn’t happen — “no one threw in their jersey.” In fact, he goes on to state that Ruettiger was scheduled to play that game because all the seniors were supposed to get play time. Finally, Montana completes his bid for most bitter ex-athlete by saying that, “[Ruettiger] did work his butt off to get where he was and do the things he did but not any harder than anyone else.” Granted, it is hard to trust someone who touts the fitness qualities of Sketchers Shape-ups, but Joe Montana was there when Ruettiger was as well.
Hearing this prompted me to do a little fact checking of my own, in the hopes that Montana’s attack on the film just stemmed from jealousy or a cranky old man pining to hear his name in the news again. All the research turned back answers, but sadly not the ones that promote optimism and inspiration. Ruettiger did get a sack in that game against Georgia Tech, and he did play on the Notre Dame football team. Aside from these basic facts, most of the film is shrouded in exaggeration and Hollywood sensationalism. According to Jeff Meron, w riter for ESPN.com, many of t he struggles Ruettiger experienced were actually fabricated. For example, Ruettiger toiled to barely make his tuition payments in the film, showcasing yet another hardship he had to conquer. In fact, Ruettiger’s tuition would have been paid for by the GI Bill because of the time he spent on a Naval command ship. Furthermore, many of the characters are “composites,” or combinations of people used to personify the general ideas of people in Ruettiger’s life. This means that the groundskeeper, Fortune, did not exist, which should have been obvious because “inspirational custodial worker” is a tried and true Hollywood cliché. “Rudy” will always be a great story and an inspiration to all. It is sad that Montana had to attempt to ruin the film. It is said that “ignorance is bliss,” and in sports films that is indeed the case. Everyone implicitly knew that the film trumped up the experiences to add to the drama, but it’s not necessary for Montana to go out of his way to point that out. He is like the person at the magic show who delights in telling everyone how the magician did the trick; we are aware that it’s not really magic, but it’s more fun to think that way.

Gamecocks keep on rolling Women’s soccer knocks off Clemson, Furman to win Carolina’s Cup title

Ryan Velasquez STAFF WRITER
At this time last September, the South Carolina women’s soccer team was celebrating a 5-0 thrashing of in-state rival Clemson. A year later, little has changed. Facing off in front of a pair of animated crowds at Stone Stadium, the No. 21 Gamecocks managed to knock off the streaking Tigers with a 2-0 victory Friday night and followed up with a 1-0 overtime win over Furman (4-3-0) on Sunday to win 2010’s Carolina’s Cup. “I’m glad we were able to pull it out. I thought we deserved to win today,” USC coach Shelley Smith said. “We outshot them by quite a bit. It’s just been one of those years so far where we’re getting opportunities and not finishing teams off. We need to fix that going into our next games, but the fact that we’re creating so many chances, I’m proud of the team’s effort and ability to hang in there and not give up a goal.” Tyler Nichols / THE DAILY GAMECOCK Marking its fourth straight match at the Graveyard, Carolina Brooke Jacobs (27) and the Gamecocks defeated Clemson for the (5-1-1) wasted no time setting the tone offensively against third straight season en route to a Carolina’s Cup championship. Clemson (5-2-0), recording nine shots in the first half. A lthough the Gamecocks came close on a number of occasions, including on a pair of headers from junior forward what anybody’s record is, it’s going to be a battle. Tonight it was Kayla Grimsley that missed wide right, both teams went into and it’s just great to have another victory against them.” The win led to a showdown with Furman for the tournament halftime tied 0-0. “We came off with confidence, but we weren’t as confident as championship. Carolina again provided a strong offensive effort, outshooting we would’ve been if we’d put one away in the first half,” Grimsley said. “We had numerous chances, time after time, and we knew the Paladins 22-4 in the first 90 minutes, but goalkeeper Jessica if we got one, the game would be over because we were already Smith’s 12 saves kept Furman in the game as the match advanced outworking them and outplaying them. We said if we put one to overtime. The score remained tied 0-0 after the first ten-minute period, away, it’s done.” This prediction proved to be true, and the Gamecocks wasted but in the 101st minute, Au struck again with a game-winning header off a serve from sophomore defender Christine Watts, little time making it happen. Receiving a long ball from senior forward Brooke Jacobs in giving the Gamecocks a 1-0 victory and their fourth consecutive the 52nd minute, Grimsley managed to beat her lone defender Carolina’s Cup title. “Danielle was tremendous for us all weekend. She worked so and fired a laser into the lower right corner, giving Carolina a hard and was a big difference in our win Friday night, then came 1-0 lead. Minutes later, the offense added one more. Taking a rebound out today and continued to work the same way,” Smith said. “She off a corner kick from senior defender Brittiny Rhoades, was battling some dizziness and exhaustion, so we gave her some freshman midfielder and eventual Tournament MVP Danielle rest, but we asked her if she could do it in the final minutes and Au notched her first collegiate goal with a rocket from the top of she said she could. That made a difference in the game. We put the box, putting the Gamecocks up 2-0 and paving the way to a lot on a freshman’s shoulders and she came through.” their third straight win over the Tigers. “[The rivalry] is incredible.

USC splits New England trip Men’s soccer defeats Yale, fall to Brown Bears at tournament in RI Ed Neuhaus
THE DAILY GAMECOCK
The USC men’s soccer team split its weekend matches at the Brown Soccer Classic in Providence, R.I., losing to Brown 1-0, but beating Yale by that same 1-0 score. “I’m really proud of our team today. They battled back against a good Yale team to win on the road,” USC coach Mark Berson said in a statement. “We had a number of good scoring opportunities in the game and were able to capitalize in the second half on the goal to give us the victory.” The Gamecocks (2-1) got their first road victory of the season by beating t he Bu lldogs (0 - 4), t ha n k s to a n outstanding performance by goalkeeper Jimmy Maurer and a winning goal by
Bradlee Baladez. Maurer collected his 21st shutout of his career in collecting seven saves on Sunday. The senior out of Lawrenceville, Ga., now has t wo shutouts on the season. Baladez’s goal was the first of his career here at South Carolina. The freshman midfielder scored in the 56th minute to give Carolina a 1-0 lead that it would not relinquish. Senior forward Blake Brettschneider led the way for Carolina with five shots in the game. Chipper Root and Baladez each contributed three shots of their own for Carolina. Both Yale and USC were unable to tally a score in a fi rst half that saw the Gamecocks and Bulldogs take seven shots apiece. USC managed 12 shots in the second half to Yale’s four and eventually was able to get on the board with Baladez’s goal, which was Carolina’s first of the weekend. The Gamecocks lost to Brown (2-02) on Friday in a game that saw Carolina
fail to convert scoring opportunities. Berson however, was not discouraged by the shutout defeat. “This was a hard-fought, evenly contested game down to the wire. Brow n capit a l ized on a good opportunity and that was the difference in the game. We created some chances but weren’t able to score,” Berson said. “I was pleased with the way our team responded to playing on the road in a difficult environment.” The Gamecocks managed 11 shots to Brown’s 18. Brettschneider led the way once again for Carolina with three of those 11 shots. Maurer made three saves on the day for South Carolina, but the goal in the 83rd minute by Brown’s Sean Rosa was the difference in the match.

Hannah Lawing helped lead USC to two wins.
The USC volleyball team got off the schnide this past weekend, winning its fi rst two matches of the season in the 2010 Gamecock Invitational. USC defeated in-state foes S.C. State and Furman but fell to Lipscomb. The Gamecocks came out sharp against the Bulldogs on Friday morning, hitting at a clip of almost 50 percent on attack. USC swept State in three sets, 25-14, 25-12 and 25-8, winning its fi rst home match after a brutal six-match road trip. Senior Hannah Lawing had six digs and freshman Frankie Vain had five blocks. “It’s nice to be home. We’re a young team that’s been out on the road for six matches,” USC coach Ben Somera said. “It was nice to just get into the confi nes you feel comfortable with.” USC grabbed anot her win in a Friday nightcap against the Paladins. USC came out aggressive and focused, taking the fi rst set 25-18. Teresa Stenlund and
Megan Laughlin lead the Gamecocks in kills at five apiece. The Paladins kept it close down the stretch, but USC held on, winning the last two sets 25-21 and 26-24. The winning ways ended on Saturday amidst the craziness a mile or so down the road at WilliamsBrice Stadium, as USC dropped its fi nal match of the tournament, getting swept by Lipscomb. USC fell by scores in the three sets of 18-25, 21-25 and 21-25, dropping the championship of the tournament to the visiting Lady Bison. Outside hitters Laughlin and Juliette Thévenin both put up over 10 k ills, while Lawing had 10 digs. The Gamecocks (2-7) will now head into Southeastern Conference play, starting this weekend with a road swing to Tennessee and Kentucky.
