South Carolina returns six starters and 16 letterwinners from last year's SEC Championship team that went 16-7-0 and a program-best 9-2-0 in conference play. Freshman All-American Sabrina D'Angelo - the 2011 SEC Freshman and Co-Defensive Player of the Year - returns in goal for the Gamecocks but will miss a portion of the season while competing for the Canada Under-20 Women's National Team at the 2012 U-20 Women's World Cup in Japan from Aug. 19 to September 8.
