use ? 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."

During fall break, the
Gamecocks traveled to Greenville
to compete in a tournament sponsored
by Furman. After chalking up
victories against the Paladins,
UNC-Charlotte, Georgia Tech and
Tennessee Tech, USC fell to
Georgia State 1-0.
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."
