South-Carolina
Gamecocks Dominate Royals 4-0
COLUMBIA, S.C. – It was a busy night for the stadium lights and scoreboard operator at Stone Stadium Friday (Sept. 8), as the South Carolina men’s soccer team (1-3-1) had the light show going all night in their 4-0 shutout victory over Queens University Charlotte (1-2).
All four goals were scored by a different Gamecock, while Mika Habel had two assists on the night. In goal, Ben Alexander finished with four saves in the match to earn his first shutout of the season. Overall, South Carolina held a 10-9 margin in total shots and 6-4 in shots on goals, while the Royals held the corner advantage 3-2.
Queens had the first shot of the night in the ninth minute, but it was the Gamecocks striking first. In the 21st minute, Habel found a sprinting Ethan Dekel Daks inside the 18-yard box. He beat a pair of defenders and found the back of the net to the upper 90 of the near post. It was his first goal of the season and his career.
Both sides put a shot on goal over the final 15 minutes of the first half, but the score would remain the same going into halftime. Dekel Daks nearly found the back of the net in the 32nd minute, but the Queens goalkeeper made the save.
It took South Carolina 10 minutes to score in the second half, but that was only the beginning. In the 55th minute, freshman Jonah Bigger notched his first collegiate goal on an assist from Kasper Lehm. Lehm put a free kick inside the 6-yard box, where it found the head of Bigger, who put it home into the bottom right corner.
Two minutes later it was the veteran Adam Luckhurst putting it home for his second goal of the season. Habel settled the ball just outside the 18 and found Luckhurst just ahead at the top of the box. Luckhurst took a dribble and buried it home off his left foot into the upper left 90.
The final goal of the night came with 1:57 to play in the match. Damola Salami fed the ball out wide to the right to a sprinting Jack Burgess. After a dribble, he found Martin Yahia alone in the far side at the top of the 6-yard box, and he drilled it home to the far post for his first career goal.
Carolina scored four goals in a match for the first time since Sept. 29, 2021, in a 4-1 win over Winthrop. It was the first time they had five assists in a game since Sept. 5, 2006, against Centenary.
South Carolina wraps up its homestand when it hosts Winthrop September 12 at 7 p.m.

Oklahoma is once again at the center of an exciting weekend in the Southeastern Conference.
Brent Venables’ Sooners shook off the loss to Texas with a poised showing against South Carolina.
OU leaned on its running game and a dominant defensive showing to power past the Gamecocks 26-7 in the program’s first-ever trip to Williams-Brice Stadium, which set up a top 15 matchup and another first.
Ole Miss makes its inaugural trip to Gaylord-Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on Saturday (11 a.m., ABC). Lane Kiffin’s squad notched a 26-14 win over the Sooners last year in Oxford, extending the Rebels’ all-time lead in the series to 2-0.
Mississippi first defeated Oklahoma 27-25 in the 1999 Independence Bowl in Bob Stoops’ first year in Norman.
Both teams look significantly different than the teams that contested last year’s matchup.
Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart moved on to the NFL, where he now starts for the New York Giants, while the OU starting quarterback, Jackson Arnold, is struggling at Auburn.
John Mateer replaced Arnold in Norman, and he also enjoyed a bounce-back performance over the weekend.
He wasn’t asked to push the ball too far downfield in his second start since undergoing hand surgery, but Mateer did plenty.
Mateer completed 18-of-26 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown against South Carolina, and he added 14 rushing yards on eight carries. Crucially, he avoided turning the ball over, which has been a small blip on even his best performances in an OU uniform so far.
True freshman running back Tory Blaylock got the biggest workload on the ground, carrying the ball 19 times for 101 yards and a touchdown, and sophomore Xavier Robinson paired with Blaylock to rush 11 times for 58 yards and a touchdown.
The new Rebel leader is Ferris State transfer Trinidad Chambliss.
He took hold of the starting quarterback spot for Ole Miss after Austin Simmons sustained an injury earlier this year, and Chambliss hasn’t looked back.
Chambliss has completed 62.7 percent of his passes this year for 1,549 yards and eight touchdowns while throwing only one interception. He’s also totaled 323 rushing yards and five scores on the ground on 70 carries.
He completed 19-of-36 passes for 263 yards and one touchdown in Saturday’s 43-35 loss to Georgia, which represented the first setback of the year for Ole Miss.
Texas A&M and Alabama remain the only two teams that have yet to lose in SEC play this year, and OU and Mississippi are two of six teams with one loss in conference play so far. Saturday’s battle between the Sooners and the Rebels represents another key matchup in the race to see which two teams will battle for the SEC Championship in Atlanta this winter.
