| Knoxville, TN |
| Mikayla Krzeczowski moved a step closer to number one all-time in shutouts at South Carolina as the Gamecocks traveled to Knoxville and stunned the 11th ranked Volunteers 2-0. Carolina came out of the gates fast, as at just under eight minutes into the match Lauren Chang lined up a corner kick and put it in the net. The goal was Chang's team leading fourth on the year and the second game-winner for her in 2018. In the second half USC added an insurance goal as a cross from Ryan Gareis was touched by Simone Wark then found its way to freshman Riley Tanner's foot and she buried it for her second goal of the year. Midfielders Becky Koch and Jylissa Harris drew praise from coach Shelley Smith, while Krzeczowski's clean sheet put her into a tie with Sabrina D'Angelo (2011-14) for second place in career shutouts. Krzeczowski has 29 career shutouts, trailing only Mollie Patton (2006-10), who had 31. USC stays on the road for their next contest, a challenging match in Starkville against Mississippi State. |
