🔼 Calling The Cockpit. Gamecock students, it’s time to hang out with Gamecock women’s hoops! Join the team on Tuesday night for a free open gym exclusively for students at the University of South Carolina. Enjoy playing Deal or No Deal with Coach Staley (a cash prize is up for grabs!), compete with Gamecock women’s basketball players for prizes, enjoy free food for the first 250 students, free gift cards to Dunkin’ Donuts for the first 50 students, and so much more! Gates open at 6:00pm. More details here.

🔼 Can’t Touch Them. South Carolina women’s soccer turned in one heck of a season this year! The team, which advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the 11th straight season, went undefeated in regular-season SEC play — extra impressive, as the SEC was ranked the No. 1 conference in the NCAA RPI rankings!

🔼 A Helping Hand. Dakereon Joyner’s off-the-field efforts didn’t go unnoticed this season as he was named to the 2023 SEC Community Service Team as the South Carolina representative. Joyner donated money to a non-profit or charity for every on-the-field touchdown scored and organized a drive to provide Thanksgiving meals to families in need.

🔼 Dive In. We’ve got Gamecocks ready to represent on an international stage! A handful of swimmers are aiming to reach qualifying times for the Paris 2024 Olympic Trials this week. Michael Laitarovsky, Mark Shperkin, Connor Fry, and Raymond Prosinski are competing for the men, whose battles began yesterday, while Nicholle Toh, Tia Salcutan, Breckin Gormley, and Dylan Scholes are competing for the women, beginning today. Full schedule here.
