How ironic. 10
Before the Lady Gamecock soft- .
ill team began its 1992 cam
rign, South Carolina's athletic di- CC
ctor, King Dixon, announced the
ogram would be discontinued.
Despite being swept in a double- ?
jader by Florida State, the Lady e
amecocks are on the verge of be- St
g the first Carolina sports team jj1
' be selected to an NCAA tourna- 1
ent this year.
The Lady Gamecocks' march to 1
CC
e post-season stalled Saturday in
allahasee, Fla., when they were ?[
lanked 2-0, and 6-0 by 13th- ?
nked FSU. The same two teams
rapped up their three-game series
jnday, but results were not avail>le
at press time. Ui
Entering the weekend, South 50
arolina was ranked third in the
3uth Region rankings behind m;
)uthwestern Louisiana and FSU. ha
The Lady Gamecocks would TT
ive to overtake FSU to to be as- lie
ired of an NCAA berth. There is
ill, however, a chance the selec)n
committee would take three j
ams from the South Region. ^
"It would be better if we could
in against FSU," senior Kris hi
ordonowy said last week. aj,
rhere's still a chance that we
>uld make it, even if we lose."
