🔼 Take ‘Em Down. Down goes No. 1! South Carolina men’s soccer notched its first-ever win over the nation’s No. 1 team on Sunday night, taking down UCF, 2-1, in the quarterfinals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament. South Carolina got goals from Harrison Myring, who tallied his first of the season, and Jack Burgess to score the huge win.
