The USC Salkehatchie soccer field is getting a face lift. The Indians soccer program has been around for 3 seasons but this next season the men's and women's soccer programs will have a new playing surface.
On Friday, members of the USC Salkehatchie men's and women's soccer programs, USC Salkehatchie athletic director Jane Brewer, USC Salkehatchie head soccer coach Bill Glass, the USC Salkehatchie maintenance department and many others including William Gee and Rev. Chip Reeves of the First Baptist Church in Allendale, SC pitched in to sod the USC Salkehatchie soccer field.
It took over half a day and a lot of hard work by all involved but in the end, it was worth the effort. According to USC Salkehatchie athletic director Jane Brewer, "We should start seeing grass by the end of June and by the first of August , we will start cutting it."
The USC Salkehatchie soccer field recently had irrigation installed, which should help with the growth of the new sod. If you have had the chance to see the USC Salkehatchie baseball or softball fields, which are both maintained by USC Salkehatchie head baseball coach Bubba Dorman, you know it won't be long before the playing surface is one of the best in the entire NJCAA. I hear that Coach Dorman will be maintaining the soccer field as it comes in.
The USC Salkehatchie women's program opens at home on the west campus in Allendale, South Carolina on Thursday August 18th against Brewton Parker at 5:00 pm.
The USC Salkehatchie men's program opens at home on August 19th starting at 5:00 pm.
