Girls finish season with 7-6 record Suzie Buono has a habit of sticking out her tongue when going for a difficult shot. Demands Louise Guse of her teammates Why didn't you guys tell me I had to put down my racket to take my uniform off? I was going to go left, then right, then ... When asked how Coach Pat Baron felt this year's team had done, she was quoted as saying, “I would call it a suc- cessful season, considering the inex- perience of the team. The 1981 Fordson Girls' Tennis Team had a final record of 7 wins, 6 losses. This year's seniors did an outstanding job with Co-Captain Carol Georeff cap- turing the No. 1 Singles Championship in GLEA, and Co-Captain Maria Rubb winning the No. 2 Singles Champion- ship, also in GLEA. Other winners in this area were Senior Faten Saad, with the No. 3 Singles, second place, Seniors Cari Sund and Helen Teeple, with the No. 1 Doubles, third place, and Junior Laela Harp and Senior Barbara Wludyka, with the No. 2 Doubles, place. The outlook for next year is fai rly good, even though they will be losing a good amount of players through graduation. Coach Baron, when asked about next year's team, was very confident in her reply that, although next year's team would require more hard work and concentration, they could be as good, if not better.

Lack of players hurt field hockey team Cindy Zapasnik tries hard to clear the ball, but her stick seems to be stuck. Above: Defensive player Yannie Andrus makes her move to get the ball before her opponents.Right: Shari McDonnell dives for the ball to make this spectacular save. Considering an obvious lack of players, the Fordson field hockey team performed admirably. Led by three year players, Angie Manser - Best Offensive Player, Mary O'Kray - Most Valuable Player, and Cindy Zapasnik - winner of the Gol- den Stick Award, the team was able to hold its own offensively. Defensively, the team was led by senior Yannie Andrus - Best Defensive Player and juniors, Peggy Simkow, Diann Smith, and Sharon Zahul. In goal was sophomore Shari McDonnell who did an outstanding job for her teammates. First year players, Patty Moriarty and Clary Stropp aided the team on the offensive line, as well as second year player Renay Lotarski. Coach Putnam can be proud of this years team despite their record. All of the members gave 110% effort which was necessary in order to make up for the lack of experience and players, many times as few as seven. Next year's team will lack experience also with six of its returning starters graduating. However, with more student participation, the season could go well.
