While the Phillies and the Blue Jays were battling to decide the best professional baseball team of 1993, the women's Softball team was starting its venture toward excellence in 1994. Coach Joyce Compton had the team on the field Sept. 15, and they'll stay there until the 1994 season wraps up in success. Until November 9, Compton and her staff will concentrate primarily on molding the players on both offense and defense. So far, the evaluations have been positive, and Compton said she's "happy with fall practice" and "very optimistic right now." | Don't Sell Y II RENTY01 I s If your verbal S/ i and is on record -t Psychology Dep II Clemson Student Any student who registered for the lo Any student who is eligible and did r House, 9am - 4pm, as long as tickets Students must be a full time USC can Students can validate a student ticket Students must present a valid ID carc Standing in line early will not necess ivels to # % W f *** ^ FHe Photo I S S E E LER ;r ranks fifth in the nation in 6 yards and 19 touchdowns on tgh task for the USC defense. a optimistic, During fall break, the Gamecocks traveled to Greenville to compete in a tournament sponsored by Furman.

Junior shortstop Shani Cannon said the defeat was a positive learning experience, one from which the team was able to pinpoint areas that need better execution. "Our fall season has been the most productive we've had since I've been here," said Cannon, who played second base her first two seasons. "We played well (against Georgia State), but we should definitely beat that team in the spring." our Blood... LR MIND. II UT score is >580 at USC, then the artment needs you!
