The Gamecocks (7-4-2, 2-1-1 C-USA) come to Sam Hood Field in third place as they also have seven conference points. USC has played seven teams who have appeared in the NSCAA Top 25 at one point this season, and is coming off a road loss to No.4 North Carolina, 1-0.
With its 2-2 tie against Oral Roberts last Sunday, MU played its ninth overtime match of the season and its fourth in a row. Both tie school records.
