Lady Gamecocl ACHIM HL1YT Sports Editor For one half of the women's game, the idea of two upsets in one day for Carolina basketball was alive and well. The leftover crowd of529 from the men's game saw the Lady Gamecock basketball team fight with the Arkansas Lady Razorback team for all they could get. Hie game started out as a see-saw affair as the Lady Razorbacks got strong inside play from sophomore Shaka Massey who finished with nine first half points while the Lady Gamecocks got their scoring from the guards outside. For the first 12 minutes of the game, the Lady Gamecocks kept themselvestrffirit behind the hot outside shooting of sophomore Nikki Miars and sophomore Lisa Williams. "I felt like the positives of the game were the first 12 or 15 minutes of the game," Head Coach Nancy Wilson said.

With one of the top programs in the nation, the University of South Carolina is rewarding soitDail coach Joyce Compton and her team with a new softball field and facility. Started in the fall of 1996, the field was pushed outward to make room for the 1,000 seat stadium. After a new outfield and infield were in place, construction began on the 500 concrete seats and the dugouts. The project is about 50 percent complete, and the stadium should be ready on time for the Lady Gamecock's Feb. 14 opener against the University of Virginia. Compton said the new stadium should be more conducive for the fans and players. With 500 permanent and 500 metal, portable bleachers, bigger dugouts, a new field and other renovations in the negotiation stage, Carolina's softball field is turning na cup races .12,1997 1OF A NEW TRADITION :ge park ng area especially for ties, and college groups.

"I think it's going to be a great stadium," Compton said. "It's going to be very attractive for the fans and one of the finer places around." For this season, the old soccer press box will be used, but a new one, similar to the one at Eugene E. Stone III Stadium at the Graveyard, will be built in the off-season. After this season, lights, a stateof-tKe-art scoreboard and a baseball/softball clubhouse are possible additions. Compton said the new field is better than the one from last year.' The infield is well-groomed and, despite a few low spots in die outfield, it should be in great shape for competition. With other SEC schools adding softball to their athletics program this spring, almost all will gain new facilities. Carolina needed a new stadium to compete in the recruiting wars "I think the new facility will be an NOT YOUR P1CKUI Opportunities exist for Custc Representatives in our Colum exciting environment with nati an inbound-only (no sales) cat a minimum of 3000 keystrok 10% error rate.

"We've got the tradition and we've had the exposure. "When you bring a recruit to campus and she sees a nice facility, it's going to be all that more attractive." The construction has not interfered with Compton's practice schedule. "There are inconveniences, some ; of which are have to do with construction right now," Compton said. > "There are mounds of dirt where they aren't supposed to be. But the workers get off at 4 p.m. and we've been on the field as much as we've wanted to be," Compton said. With less than a month to go before the season starts, things should start to Dick up. If all goes according to plan, the stadium will be ready and so will Compton's squad. ORDINARY P LINE. imer Service and Data Entry hia location. Work in an onatly known customers in I center.
