Five-hundred wins and 700 matches. "That's a lot of balls . . . over 23,000 balls. I wonder what happened to all of those balls," College of Charleston women's coach Angelo Anastopoulo said Friday afternoon.

Anastopoulo's College of Charleston team had just notched a 5-2 win over Samford University that doubled as his 500th combined men's/women's win and 700th match.

Anastopoulo is a 42-year-old former star at The Citadel. He is in his 18th year at the College of Charleston where he has a 328-121 women's record. He also produced a 172-79 record coaching the men's team.
His oldest brother, Arthur, was an All-American at the University of South Carolina, while another brother, Akim (a local attorney and TV star of the "Judge Extreme Akim" courtroom drama), played for the University of Louisville. The lone girl in the family, Patti, played for the College of Charleston.

The College of Charleston finished the regular season with a 21-4 record, good enough for a 9-1 record and second-place finish to Furman in the Southern Conference.
