With the loss, the third-ranked Gamecocks finished the year at 21-2-1.After the Tar Heels opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, South Carolina had a tremendous chance at an equalizer in the early stages of the second half when it was awarded a penalty kick. Gamecock junior forward Savannah McCaskill set up the opportunity when she collected a long pass and raced into the right side of the box, where she was taken down. South Carolina senior striker Sophie Groff lined up for the kick and rifled a shot that was turned away by UNC goalkeeper Lindsey Harris near the left post.North Carolinas first-half tally came on a give-and-go play by forward Madison Schultz and midfielder Annie Kingman. Schultz slipped it to Kingman, who passed it right back to set the striker up near the top left corner of the box. Schultz collected the pass and chipped an arching shot into the top right corner of the net past the outstretched arms of Gamecock freshman goalkeeper Mikayla Krzeczowski.The Gamecocks saw several scoring chances early in the match, starting in the ninth minute when a ball in from midfield found Chelsea Drennan. The senior flicked a header towards a streaking McCaskill near the top of the box, but a UNC defender was there to cut off the pass. In the 15th minute, South Carolina was inches away from breaking through following a corner kick from Drennan. Her service in connected with McCaskill, who put a blistering header on target that was cleared off the line by a defender at the last second. Senior center back Kaleigh Kurtz alertly attempted to put home the rebound, but Harris was able to recover and make the save.Kurtz again nearly put the Gamecocks on the board the 41st minute when she tried her luck from distance near the left side of the box. The Greer, S.C., native fired a dipping attempt that sailed by Harris before dinging off the crossbar. South Carolina boasted a 9-8 shot advantage in the opening 45 minutes.The Gamecocks final quality bid for an equalizer came in the 63rd minute after another corner from Drennan. Her ball in found senior defender Paige Bendell, whose header fell to McCaskill deep inside the box. McCaskill one-timed a header that missed just wide right, and the ball went out for a goal kick.Krzeczowski totaled six saves on the night, including a huge stop in the 76th minute to keep the Gamecocks within one. A deflection in the attacking third left Schultz with a breakaway opportunity, and Krzeczowski alertly came off her line and threw her body in front of the shot to stifle the scoring chance.South Carolina outshot the Tar Heels 16-14 for the match and put nine attempts on frame. The Tar Heels held a slight 6-5 advantage in corner kicks and put seven shots on target. http://www.packersrookiestore.com/Packers-Ha-Ha-Clinton-Dix-Jersey/ .

Daniel Cobb has quit as Brisbanes managing director and says he will submit a final take it or leave it offer to buy the A-League club from their Indonesian owners.In an escalation of the crisis surrounding the three-time A-League champions, Cobb claimed he had paid the Roars bills - including player and staff wages - out of his own pocket for the past three days but was no longer willing to work with the Bakrie Group.It comes after Cobbs accusations that the Bakries had reneged on a promise to inject $1.1 million into the club as agreed when he became managing director two months ago, leaving the Roar in a precarious financial position.As far as the original sale agreement, Ive terminated that and I will give an alternative offer to the Bakries, which they may or may not accept, Cobb told AAP.The relationships obviously been very strained. Theres obviously been tensions over the last five or six weeks and the tax and the super situations building and Im just not prepared as a director to be liable for that.Cobb said he had informed Football Federation Australia of his intentions to quit and to make a final offer to purchase the club when he met chief executive David Gallop on Tuesday in Sydney.ddddddddddddCobb said he was willing to stay on as the Roars interim CEO if required.The events could have an immediate impact on coach John Aloisis plans for the new season, as its understood German import Jerome Polenz wont receive the first part of his severance package, which was due on Wednesday.Polenz had agreed to mutually terminate his contract with Brisbane and the club made an official announcement on Monday that he was leaving.Cobb said it was disgusting that the Bakries had failed to provide the money for Polenzs payout.Asked if the Roar had been trading while insolvent, Cobb said: Im not prepared to answer that question.AAP understands Cobb was already likely to be sacked by the Bakries, who had grown suspicious of him after his falling out with Aloisi and football director Craig Moore.Cobb was appointed in June as Brisbanes managing director, claiming he was the head of a consortium which had already agreed to buy the club from the Bakries.
