The Gamecocks (12-6-2) win on a penalty kick with less than four minutes remaining in the second overtime period, 1-0 ... PK converted by Stephen Morrissey after a controversial handball was called on Tulsa (11-6-2) ... USC earns the automatic berth to the NCAA Men's College Cup ... Unbelievable run by South Carolina ... The Gamecocks will find out tomorrow their seeding and opponent for next weekend - more than likely at Stone Stadium in Columbia ... What a weekend for Carolina Athletics - it's the GARNET WAY!
