Reynolds earned All-American honors for the Gamecocks in 1980. "We have a group of juniors that will give us a lot of leadership right now, a lot of sophomores and two freshmen, so we are very young. Most of our people are in their sophomore and junior years, people who will be counted on the most at the NCAA (National Championships)," Coach Steve Collins said. Heading into the National Independent Championships and the NCAA National Championships has Collins projecting a very positive outlook. "Everything we do now is in preparation for the nationals. Right now, we are in a good position heading into our National Independent Championships and the NCAA National Championships," Collins said. ommittee on Student r?

This season has had many . highlights for the La(**> Gamecocks. Collins feete that the meet which helped the squad the most was against the University of Tennessee. In the meet adainct tho f Ho M^UIIIUV Mil/ juK*uj vxanicvvA^fvo found themselves trailing 358 halfway through the match. Carolina then rallied to a one-point victory.

Drake Hopes H Woi By LEZLIE WALLACE Editorial Page Editor One of the most positive aspects of the 1982 USC softball team is that the the women put softball first in their lives, according to Head Coach Terry Drake. "They are hard workers and demand that I work them hard every day," claims Drake. "They put softball as number one in their lives." She feels that this is very important, and that many woman don't do this. They put other things ahead of their sport, and are thus more difficult/to coach. The team has eight new members joining the squad, which includes four freshmen and four transfers. The freshmen are: Robin Baxter, from Colonial Heights, Va.; Shirley Burton, from Orlando, Fla.; and Melissa Coulter, from Tauares, Fla. The transfer students are: Jae Butera, a sophomore from the University of Central Florida; Louann Call, a sophomore from Eastern Michigan; Jenny Sacco, a cAnViAm nrn frnm P/M tnfir ^.C UVJ/1IU1IIU1 V liUlii lilt V/VUIHJf VyVIICgC VI Morris; and Dissy Thompson, a junior from Western Carolina.

The junior team members are; Pat Dufficy, from Hope Valley, R.I.; Amy Lyons, from Ridgewood, N.J.; and Debbie Rohr, from Vienna, Va. The lone senior member of the squad is Cindy Wallace, from Poquoson, Va. Wallace will be one of Drakes top pitchers. "She's not fast, but she has a lot of junk and variety in her pitches," says Drake. Wallace is a good fielding pitcher as well. Drake will also be looking to Rohr, at shortstop, and Lyon at second to lead her team. She feels that their "shortstopsecond base combination is one of the top in the nation." Dufficy, who is currently playing for the Lady Gamecock basketball team as well as the softball team, is Drake's utility player. According to Drake, Dufficy "has the potential to be an All-America infielder." She has a lot of speed with a variety of slides. Drake is also looking to Dufficy to be one of her top hitters, along with Lyons, James, Burton, and Kish. taurant & lounge 1928 Rosewood Drive Tonite BUSCH 654 1 MIDNIGHT I HAPPY HOUR Friday I HAPPY HOUR I 11:30 - 8:00 I FREE BOILED PEANUTS
