XT Sports THE DAILY COLLEGIAN m Wednesday, February 21,1996 / UCLA to test 'Dogs By Matthew Lievre Sports Writer When passing the intersection of Cedar and Barstow, it is impossible not to notice Fresno State's newest athletic venue, its softball stadium. With the new diamond, seven returning starters, eleven returning letter winners and seven incoming freshman, Head Coach Margie Wright has assembled a team that should contend for a national cham¬ pionship. "Our biggest strength is our team unity," Wright said. "It's one of the few teams that I have had where the team is so together and that is re¬ ally a plus when it comes to a team sport." Leading the way for the Bull¬ dogs will be junior All-American right fielder. Robyn Yorke, All- Western Athletic Conference cen¬ ter fielder Jennifer Henry and All- WAC shortstop Randi Berg. Fresno State enters the season as the third ranked team in the nation. The team was also picked first in the WAC coaches poll. positive attributes that maybe one of the other ones doesn't have," Wright said. "Depending on what the game calls for, that is who is going to take the mound and I'm expecting all three of them to main¬ tain equal consistency across the board." Catching: The Bulldogs have great depth at the catching position as well. Junior Catalina Chavez (.191 batting average, five runs batted in) sophomore Amber Wall (.256 av¬ erage, one home run, 25 RBI's), along with freshmen Jennifer Slaney and Natalie Driggers will all compete for playing time. Wall and Chavez are clearly the front runners and Wright has said that both may see some playing tithe at other positions (Wall in the outfield, Chavez at other infield positions). Iiiriela: At first base look for se¬ niors Joe Pini (.260, 12 RBI's) and Erika Blanco (.252 average, five triples, four HR's, 42.RBI*s), along with junior college transfer Brooke Bernardoni and freshman Jamie "I think the conference is up for ^laxey. grabs," Wright said. "Looking at' Second base will be occupied by Paul Martinez —The Daily Collegian my team, I would say my team should win, but you can't discount Cal State,Northridge, the Univer¬ sity of Utah, Sacramento State, San Diego State and New Mexico. All these teams have the potential to knock someone off along the way." Here's a look at position by po¬ sition for the 1996 softball team: Pitching: Wright said that the starting pitching of the team should be exciting. Junior right hander Jennifer Clark (19-5 record last season), sophomore left hander Kim Peck (9-12, with a 2.45 earned run aver—, age), who transferred from Colo¬ rado State, and freshman right hander Lindsay Parker. "Each of the three of them have either sophomore Nina Lindenberg, a transfer from Long Beach State or junior Trina Puckett. At shortstop look for Berg who started in every game last season and hit .289 with a fielding per¬ centage of .949. Coach Wright has the luxury of using Blanco, Maxey or Lindenberg to fill the third base position as well as junior Michele Papi who can fill any position in the infield. Outfield: The1 outfield will fea¬ ture Henry (.308, four triples, two HR's, 44 RBI's, 31 runs scored) and >bTlce (.481, 114 hits, 31 RBI's). Four others, junior Shelly Rude (11 runs) and freshmen Candice Bowlin, Nicole Webber and Brook Nice dig. Fresno State catcheri flawless defense in the Bulldogs Saturday. Justin will vie for the starting left field position and playing time. The hole in left field developed when All-American Laura Berg, who started every game in the out¬ field last season, opted to red-shirt •this year after being selected to play for the 1996 Olympic softball team. The Bulldogs finished third in the WAC last season behind Utah and Cal State Northridge with an 18-8 record. The team had an over¬ all record of 50-19 before losing in the West Regional's to Iowa 2-1. "I think we are the top team in the WAC, as long as we play [up] to our potential." Lindsay Parker said. With an infield full of depth and Catalina Chavez will need to play home opener against UCLA on versatility, and an outfield with ex¬ perience and leadership, Wright and the 1996 softball team should be strong contenders for the WAC title and earn a trip to Columbus, Ga., to participate in the College World Series. Golf Continued from page 6. as their closing score of 307 (349- 297-307-953) dropped them back into a tie for 18th.

Rounding out the scoring for Fresno State, Barrington finished tied for 46th, (86-75-75-236) McGuire in 61st (88-75-76-239) and Burroughs tied for 92nd (86- 77-81 -244). Christensen ended tied for 117th (100-79-80-259). Oklahoma State led throughout the tournament and shot a closing round 296 to finish at 911. South¬ ern Methodist finished seven in sec¬ ond place at 918. Arizona State, Arizona and Arkansas all tied for third with a 921 total. ' Southern Methodises Skinner led the tournament wire\to wire.
