Regard- less of only three return- ing players, the team ' s ex- cellent defense and great leadership showed posi- tive strength and a chance to place In the new league. I think we all have a positive attitude and a good chance to do well in the new league, said sen- ior Lisa Cindrich. With basic fundamen- tals, extra work and im- proved weight training programs, the girls goals could be achieved. I think being consis- tently good throughout the whole year will be our main concern, said Mar- issa Sanchez. Having outstanding players Michelle Garay, Shauna Klarer and Lisa Cindrich leading, Sarkis- sian felt the team should be strong in the new league. Adjusting to coaching patterns and feeling more assured with their team- mates finally stabilized the 1987 Varsity Softball team. I think we all feel pret- ty confident with each other, said first year var- sity player Angela Ji- menez. This year differed from the past in that the young team was eager to learn and be around to play with experience for two years to come. Improving on mental ability, playing habits, and a weight training program, coaches Carol Sarkissian and Tom Pridmore tried to create a worth-while season. I have a great feeling about this season, said third year varsity player Michelle Garay, seeing everyone so enthusiastic on improving, shows the beginning of a great sea- son.
