The South Carolina women's soccer team is gearing up for a home contest against Furman on Sunday, a match that promises to add another chapter to a rivalry that has seen the Gamecocks dominate for years.
A historic edge and a fresh challenge
The Gamecocks hold a 16‑2‑1 edge over the Paladins all‑time, highlighted by a 5‑1 triumph in 2024, and they enter the game with a 2‑1‑0 record this season.
A 1‑0 win over No. 24 Clemson in the Palmetto Series last week not only secured a clean sheet but also marked the end of a four‑game tie streak, underscoring the team’s rising momentum.
Midfielder Cuyler Zulauf found the net with under six minutes remaining, her first goal of the campaign and the 10th of her career, while goalkeeper Christina Tsaousis turned in four saves, including a season‑high effort that preserved the shutout.
Furman, after dropping its opening two matches, finally broke through with a 3‑0 victory over North Greenville, a performance that included a goal from former Gamecock forward Bri Pinasco.
The game will be streamed live on SECN+, and fans can expect a lively atmosphere with parking options in the grass lot behind the Athletics Village Garage, metered spots around the stadium and overflow in the Roost lot. Marion Street will be closed to traffic beginning at 4:30 p.m., and the gates open an hour before kickoff.
Updates will be posted on X and Instagram (@GamecockWSoccer), giving supporters a real‑time glimpse of the action as the Gamecocks look to extend their winning streak.
