In goal the Gamecocks have been led by William Pyle who has played every minute this season. Pyle ranks 11th in the country in saves per game (5.1) and 13th in total saves (77) but is behind Teal in goals against average and save percentage.

Additionally, Friday is a Gold Rush with the first 200 fans receiving a gold wig and soccer balls will be given away to the first 150 youth kids. One lucky student who has checked in with the Fired Up Rewards App this season will take home a scooter with the winner being announced at halftime.
