Opening Day 2016 is finally here! A new season means a chance to put the disappointments of last year behind us and get excited about the possibility of the 2016 version of the South Carolina Gamecocks ending their season in Omaha.
The Gamecocks are beginning the season by welcoming the Albany University Great Danes to Carolina Stadium Founders Park. The only previous meeting between the two teams was a three-game series in Columbia in 2013, which the Gamecocks swept.
This is the second year in a row that the Great Danes will open their season in the state of South Carolina, as they began last year at a tournament hosted by Coastal Carolina.
