🔼 So Fresh And So Clean. South Carolina women’s soccer newcomer Reagan Schubach has been named the SEC Freshman of the Week, the first conference award of her career, thanks in part to her first career SEC game-winner in the 1-0 victory over LSU this past Thursday.

🔼 In Full Swing. Chris Mayotte was a gifted tennis player, and as proud as he is of his accomplishments, he gives tribute to his former coach, Ron Smarr, and teammates for helping him achieve at a level that not only saw him become a two-time All-American for South Carolina, but also enjoy a successful professional career.
