Head Coach Patrick Murphy's 1,000th career victory didn't come easy Tuesday night in Tuscaloosa, but Alabama persevered to defeat Kent State, 5-3, in comeback fashion as Murphy became the 16th active Division-I coach to hit 1,000 wins.
"I didn't think about it or talk about it," Murphy said when asked about approaching the milestone. "I know they've talked about it behind the scenes, but I didn't mention it at all over the weekend or today. It's about the team, not me. I think they realize that."
Murphy is the 23rd coach in Division-I softball history to reach 1,000 wins and is the 16th active coach to reach the milestone. He is the seventh SEC coach to reach 1,000 wins, joining Tennessee's Ralph and Karen Weekly, Texas A&M's Jo Evans, Auburn's Clint Meyers, Georgia's Lu Harris-Champer and former South Carolina coach Joyce Compton.
