By DOUG AUBE
Sports Editor
She has put together a very im
pressive win-loss record over th<
years and was an all-star performe
in college. She has been recog
nized as the South Region Coacl
of the Year twice in the last thro
seasons.
She is Joyce Compton, USC
head softball coach, and she know
success.
Compton's teams have compilec
a 384-150 record in a span of fif
teen seasons.
She played softball at Trentor
State College where she was ar
all-star first baseman.
The National Softball Coaches
Association named Compton the
South Region Coach of the year ir
1987 and again in 1989.
Despite her personal accomplishments,
Compton credits those
around her for the success.
"Having a lot of talented players
over the years has helped turn the
program into a success," Comptor
said. She even refuses to take credit
for the recruiting of that talent
"The players have done a good jot
of talking up the program and peei
recruiting, and this has had as
much of an affect on our success
as anything, she said.

1972 with a B.S. degree and went
5 on to become the head softball
r coach at Piscataway High School
and then later served as an assists
tant coach at Trenton State.
e From 1973 to 1975, Compton
played for the Raybestos Brakettes,
an amateur level team. With Coms
pton manning first base, the
Brakettes won three consecutive
j national championships and the
team captured the international
championship in 1974.
Compton joined the professional
ranks in 1976, playing three seasons
for the Connecticut Falcons
earning all-star honors.
"As an athlete, I have always
been in competitive situations,"
she said. "Being around the best
has had a carry-over effect for
me.
Compton's first collegiate head
coaching job came in 1975. She
compiled a 93-19 record at Mattatuck
Community College over a
seven year span and has yet to suffer
a losing campaign after 15 seasons
as a head coach.

the head coaching job at the
University of Missouri and led her
1983 team to the final eight of the

Joyce Compton s<
Women's Softball World Series.
After putting together a record
of 115-77 at Missouri, USC came ?
calling and Compton answered.
In her first season at the Gamecock
helm, Compton led her team r
to a 34-14 record, earning her first
coach of the year honor.
Four seasons have passed since r
her initial USC campaign. Com- p
pton has since compiled a 176-54 ^
record and has seen her team make ^
it to the top of college softball ^
with a trip to the Women's Soft- r
ball World Series in 1989. s
That season also saw Compton p
earn her second coach of the year ,
honor. ^
And Compton is still looking el- ^
sewhere to credit her triumphs. ^
"As far as awards go, so much p
is dictated by the accomplishments r
of the team. The focus should be p
on the players and assistant
coaches. They deserve the awards ~
as much as I do," she said.
