LEFT: Kathy Fitzgerald lays up the ball before the guard has a chance to come near her. BELOW: WPC player jumps up and away from a guard to make the basket. BOTTOM FAR LEFT: Patty Wedel jumps as a guard attempts to block her path. If the men ' s team had one supers- tar, the women had three, Ethel hlolevas, Debbie Comerie and Kathy Fitzgerald. And to heap more honor on John Bradley s women, senior Patty Wedel walked away with the annual Barone Award. The women continued being big winners, scoring a 15-4 record, including wins over schools like Princeton. Central Connecticut and Rutgers. The Pioneers ' record didn ' t exactly have many patsies though. Among the losses were close games with nationally ranked teams. Federal City beat the Pioneers by only one and the women lost by only fourteen to an Immaculate team that had beaten everyone else by at least thirty. With only Patty Wedel graduat- ing, Bradley is expecting the team to do great things next year. 247
