The Gamecocks completed an undefeated run through the Maryland Invite Tournament by sweeping sets from Colgate on Sunday. Set one was a battle, but Carolina dominated the second and third sets to walk away with the title. In the first set USC jumped out to a 4-0 lead on some good serves from Courtney Koehler including an ace. The lead would get to 11-6 but Colgate battled back and would tie the set at 24. Kills by Mikayla Robinson and Mikayla Shields broke the stalemate and gave Carolina a 27-25 win in the set.

Colgate briefly led the second set 4-3 but then the Gamecocks went on a 6-1 run behind two kills from Alicia Starr. The Raiders again mounted a comeback, and had a 16-13 lead late in the set. The lead stood at 18-15 Colgate when Carolina caught fire and won six straight points behind the serving of Aubrey Ezell and a couple of kills from Shields. Courtney Furlong finished the set off with a kill for a 25-20 win. The third and final set was never in question as USC raced out to an 8-1 behind Koehler serving and three kills from Shields and two from Robinson. The Gamecocks coasted to a 25-12 win from there.
