On Friday, Sept. 20 South Carolina takes on Louisville at 5:00 p.m. USC closes out the tournament against host Evansville at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 22.

South Carolina and Evansville have faced-off five times with USC winning all five matches. The last meeting came in 1998 when South Carolina shutout the Purple Aces 3-0.
