Good morning. South Carolina women’s soccer opened its home schedule with a bang yesterday afternoon at Stone Stadium!

The No. 12 Gamecocks came away with a 6-0 win over Jacksonville, getting goals from all across their roster, from senior superstar Cat Barry to a handful of first-ever career goals from freshmen.

Check out some of the best goals of the afternoon from Shae O’Rourke, Reagan Schubach, Dubem Dike, Cat Barry, and Brinley Murphy.

Once In A Lifetime. Khadijah Sessions is back with the Garnet & Black less than a decade after leading South Carolina women’s hoops to its first-ever Final Four in program history. Now she’s on the sideline as an assistant coach under Coach Staley.

Sessions joined an all-new episode of Gamecock Talk this week to reflect on her team’s Final Four run, talk about what it’s been like to be back in Columbia, and how she felt leading up to hitting a free throw with less than a second left in a game to keep the Gamecocks at a perfect 17-0.

🔼 Making Plays. Former South Carolina linebacker Kingsley Enagbare picked up right where he left off last season, tallying two sacks, three tackles, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery for the Packers on Saturday night. On one play alone, Enagbare did it all: he recorded a sack, forced the fumble, and recovered the loose ball.

🔼 On The Diamond. Mark Kingston is staying put in Columbia as South Carolina extended its head baseball coach through the 2027 season late last week! Kingston and his squad just wrapped up one of the best seasons in recent memory, winning the NCAA Regional and climbing as high as No. 2 in the polls en route to winning 42 games and sweeping national runner-up Florida.

🔼 Welcome Home. Grad transfer Drew Tuazama is officially a Gamecock. South Carolina announced the former UAB edge rusher, who earned an All-Conference USA honorable mention last year, will join the program for the upcoming season. Tuazama led UAB last season with five sacks.

🔼 Bump, Set, Start The Season. South Carolina volleyball wrapped up its exhibition slate with a 3-1 win over the College of Charleston this weekend. The Gamecocks tallied 15 kills in the fourth set to nab the win, and now South Carolina is ready to open the regular season at home with a two-game series against Towson starting on Friday night.
