🏈 Football downs Texas A&M
⚽️ Defender of the Year
🤙 And much more!

Some games, you just have to find a way. That's what the good teams do, and that's what the Gamecocks did with the Aggies in town. The defense came up with stop after stop, while LaNorris Sellers and the offense were clutch when it mattered most. It was a happy Homecoming weekend in Columbia.

DJ Black’s journey back to Columbia is an inspiring story of perseverance and a prime example of hard work paying off. Learn more about his story and more in the latest episode of The Story on Gamecocks+.

🔺 Found A Way. South Carolina’s Malik Orsan made a 43-yard field goal to put South Carolina ahead for good in the fourth quarter, and LaNorris Sellers broke loose for a 41-yard touchdown run in the final two minutes to seal the 17-9 win over Texas A&M. Sellers also threw for 251 yards and a touchdown, while Fred Johnson led the defense with 11 tackles and a sack. The Gamecocks will play at Arkansas on Saturday at 7:45 p.m. on SEC Network.

🔺 Locked Down. Men’s soccer defender Mika Habel is the Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year, the first Gamecock to win one of the conference’s top individual postseason awards. He and Alejandro Velazquez-Lopez were named to the All-SBC First Team. Cristian Ortiz was named to the Second Team, and Yoni Perez was named to the All-Freshman Team.

🔺 Carolina Clash. No. 1 South Carolina women’s basketball beat No. 12 North Carolina 84-39 at Sunday’s Ally Tipoff in Charlotte. Chloe Kitts led the way with 17 points and 10 rebounds, and the Gamecocks held the Tar Heels to 25% shooting to pick up their second ranked win in as many games.

🔺 On to Semis. No. 24 South Carolina men’s soccer beat UCF 2-1 on Sunday in the Sun Belt quarterfinals. The Gamecocks flipped the result from their regular-season meeting, when UCF won 3-2 in Orlando. They’ll take on Marshall in the semifinals on Wednesday.

🔺 Sunday Funday. South Carolina men’s basketball beat Southeast Missouri State 78-68 on Sunday at Colonial Life Arena. Kory Mincy scored 10 of his team-high 19 points in the first five minutes of the second half, helping the Gamecocks turn a one-point halftime lead into a double-digit advantage. They’ll host Saint Peter’s on Wednesday.

🔺 Tickets Punched. Gamecock women’s tennis senior Kaitlyn Carnicella qualified for the NCAA Individual Championships with a 6-4, 6-4 win over NC State’s Victoria Osuigwe in the ITA Sectionals quarterfinals. It’s her second career NCAA berth, and she’ll join fellow Gamecock Jana Stojanova in Athens, Georgia Nov. 17-22.

On the men’s tennis side, Sean Daryabeigi and Paul Barbier Gazeu secured singles qualifications at the ITA East Sectionals, while Barbier Gazeu joined Charlie Robertson to earn a doubles berth with a third-place finish.
