Charlotte Slocum aims for 300th softball victory With the College Misericordia softball team playing four con- secutive doubleheaders on the road, Charlotte Slocum’s 300th § coaching victory § will probably oc- cur away from Anderson Field. Misericordia, 13-5, will travel to j# Pennsylvania i Athi Conferenece rival Allvernia, Wednesday and will play at Neumann, Binghamton and Allen- town Saturday-Monday. “I actually don’t know how many wins I need for 300, but I know I'm getting close,” said Slocum, who has 296 career vic- tories in 17 years as head softball coach at Misericordia. “Getting my 300th win is nice, but it’s not the most important thing for this team.” Slocum doesn’t really care when or where her 300th victory oc- curs, as long as it's followed by many more. “The important thing is for the team to continue to do well and achieve their goals,” said Slocum, who entered the season CHARLOTTE SLOCUM ranked seventh all-time in Divi- sion III winning percentage at .680 with a record of 283-133. “I don’t want to stop at 300 wins.” “The best thing about this mile- stone is that it’s a sign of consis- tency,” said Slocum, whose teams have averaged 17.8 wins per year and have never suffered a losing season. “There have been a lot of players who put in a great deal of time and hard work to make this achievement possible. It has been a pleasure to have been involved in the lives of so many young athletes.” Slocum has also had the op- portunity to coach with her son Ernie, the Cougars assistant. “It’s been a lot of fun to work with Ernie,” said Slocum. “He is re- sponsible for our pitchers and has a tremendous impact on our program.” Slocum guided the Cougars to their best season ever IN 1996; a 38-6 record aND PAC and ECAC championships. Since 1990, Misericordia has enjoyed six 20- win seasons, including two 30- win campaigns. “Last season was a great accomplishment for our program,” said Slocum. “We hope to duplicate that again this year.”
