This fall the women ' s golf team displayed the raw talent level needed for a successful future. Underclassmen abound in this group, which was led by junior captain Andrea Klee. Klee dis- played her leadership abilities at their first invitational where she led all Irish golfers and helped the squad earn a fifth place finish. Next, the team headed to the Lady Northern Intercollegiate which displayed some of the best golfing talent in the midwest. Again.

New Leadership Team endures another tough conference season by Carolyn Trenda With a freshman class loaded with talent, and a senior class that was hungry for a post-season appearance before their college careers ended, the men ' s basket- ball team began the season with the desire to prove themselves. The beginning of the season was stacked with non-conference games, including close games against Yale and Indiana. Most evident in these first few games was the ability of the rookies to carry the team. Freshman sen- sation Troy Murphy was named Big East Rookie of the week four times in the opening two months of the season. One of these honors came af- ter a thirty point performance in the team ' s Big East opener against Providence. Murphy ' s leadership helped propel the hish to victory which gave them the momentum to launch a four game winning streak. Following the streak, the team stalled a roller-coaster sequence 9V, - W, « -, ;■;■,;,, ' ' ,,; ,,,« l,nli•,l I I IIM Knu I Mull l,i,l,, ' , Ivviluiis Willuim.wn. SL luiJ ()»tiLs.
