team has enjoyable N in the North Suburban Con ference said varsity base ball coach Fred Picket We challenged for the title most of the season. We had a good group of hard-working, hard-nosed baseball players, he said. We had a win- ning season by defeating top teams like Wauconda, Waukegan East, Warren, An- tioch, and Lake Forest. Some of the players who performed well and helped lead the team to its 16-11 re- cord were senior Scott Wilson, junior Tim Volpe, and senior Dan Novak. Picket de- scribed the season as very satisfying and enjoyable. Wilson was selected as the team's MVP.

utstanding is the only way to describe the varsity softball team's 1984 season. The North Suburban Confer- ence champion Mustangs ended the year at 16-2. lt was the first time in six years that the girls had held the conference title. They put forth a super team effort and got big boosts from Angel Lendvay's hit- ting and Lisa Sodt's pitching. Lendvay, Sodt, Cindy Krebs, Liz Steiding, Chris Pieroni and Nancy Tuhy were all-confer- ence selections. The Mustangs beat Carmel 17-2 in the opening round of the regional playoffs, then emerged victorious over Deerfield, 12-2, in semifinal action, only to lose 15-9 to arch rival Libertyville in the champion- ship game of the Zion-Benton Regional. The fighting Mustangs proudly closed their season at 22-5. Coach Jim deRivera attributed the these girls have got what it takes to be FERENCE CHA PIUNSY teamis success to great spirit, enthusiasm, drive and unity. We had the best team ever!', he said. We had not only a confer- ence championship and a 22 and 5 record, but we also had individuals on the team who learned a lot and who had fun. The girls were winners not only on the field but off! If much of the teamis success was the result of a great team effort,, much was also the result of outstanding individual efforts. Senior Angel Lendvay broke re- cord after record and contributed exper- ience and leadership fsee page 141j. Sen- ior Lisa Sodt pitched 18 victories, set a new school record by pitching 127 innings, and pitched 70 strikeouts. Senior Chris Pieroni stole 18 bases, had 28 RBIs, and had a 16-game hitting streak. Junior Liz Steiding showed her strength behind the plate with a batting average of .509, and junior Cindy Krebs scored 47 runs.
