Gamecocks Dominate in Season Opener | College Basketball News

South Carolina men’s soccer made a statement with a dominant 4-1 win over North Florida in their season opener, marking their third straight opening-night victory. After a lightning delay, sophomore goalie Noah Scheidweiler made a crucial early save, and junior defender Yvan Malarte opened the scoring with a header. North Florida tied it before halftime, but the Gamecocks surged in the second half—Loïc Sany Kong scored twice, including his first career brace, and assisted Angel Lopez on two goals. The team outshot North Florida overall and controlled the game decisively. They’ll return home Monday to face USC Upstate in front of their own fans.
