If the Lady Owls were looking to see what got them a second place finiih in the Atlantic 10 Softball tournament, they wouldn ' t have to look any farther than the pitch- ing mound. Kim Cogal and Marge Lavage pitched all of the team ' s 4 7 games and combined for a 26- 15 record. Gogal, a senior, went 14-8 with a 0.76 ERA and picked up the club ' s only save. She also pitched seven shutouts with Lavage adding six. Lavage went 12-7 with a 0.81 ERA. I was very satisfied with our pitchers ' performances, said head coach Ronnie Maurek of the team ' s first 12 games, which were played in Florida. The team went 5-7 in that span. I just wish we could have gotten them some more runs. Gogal, who earned the Atlantic 10 Player of the Week honors in late April, pitched some outstanding contests, including all 23 innings in a 1-0 extra inning loss to Adel- phi. She also pitched a two hitter against Rutgers and one-hit Rhode Island. And that was in the same week. Although the lineup wasn ' t crush- ing the opposition, it wasn ' t exact- ly punchless, either. Jackie Cipolloni was the Lady Owls ' most reliable producer, hitting for a .298 average, including a team- high 37 hits and 17 RBIs. Others who enjoyed fine seasons included Robin Boyd, who hit .273 with a team-high 31 singles and four triples. Debbie Todd hit .264, and Lavage chipped in with a .250 average. As a team, however, the Lady Owls could only hit at a .220 average with four home runs. One interesting change in league play was the new rule in which tie games would have an easier chance of being ended. If the game was tied at the end of regu- lation, the girl who made the last out the previous inning would start the inning on second base. The teams played from there. First Row: kmiyn Heed, Danee Newman, Steph- anie Stagliano, Elaine Turchi, Jackie Cipolloni, Jean Rodgen, Lisa Sommer, Robin Abney; Sec- ond Row: Kim Zerah, Nancy Storke, Kim Cogal, Kim Dempsey, Donna Marino, Debbie Todd, Kim Seitzinger, Robin Boyd, Marge Lavage, Chris Johnston. u 94 1-
