🎥 COCKTALE HOUR

The CockTale Hour. It's back to the court for Tom Mendoza and his Gamecock squad as volleyball gets back in the swing of things. There's no easing into it this year with a challenging non-conference schedule starting up next week, but Coach Mendoza has a veteran team and looks forward to taking the next step and heading back to the NCAA Tournament. We're also gearing up for kickoff in Williams-Brice with just 5 days til gameday!
