SCOUTING SOUTH CAROLINA STATE
South Carolina State enters Sunday's game looking for its first win of the season. The Lady Bulldogs lost two games at home to Southern Utah and Elon to begin the season.

South Carolina State is still looking for its first goal of the season. The Lady Bulldogs returned just nine players from last year's team. One key returner is goalie Jada Gittings who started 15 of the Lady Bulldogs' 16 matches, while recording 47 saves and posting the career-best 3.25 goals-against average.

Offensively, South Carolina lost its top three goal scorers from a season ago.
