Tournament with a few
changes in the infield.
Shortstop Debbie Rohr is

"Pat is learning the
responsibilities of the
shortstop position and that's
tough,"' Drake said. "But so
is Pat."
"We hope to build up depth
in Orlando," Drake said.
"We will play everybody
because these games don't
count on our record."
Drake admitted that it will
De lougn losing two players
the caliber of Rohr and
Lyons.
"It will show what we're
made of. Rohr has AllAmerica
potential" while
Lyons leads the team in RBI
with 13.
First baseman Shirley
Burton leads the team with a
.438 batting average and is
also tops in the hitting
category with 28. Dufficy, a
potential All-America outfielder,
follows at .316.
wniie injuries can be
crucial, so can the schedule. I
And the Lady Gamecocks 1
have a busy, tiring one. j
"This is the toughest I
schedule we've ever had," I
Drake said. "We've played a
lot of top teams back to back I
two days in a row.
"Of the games we've won,
we played University of
Michigan and University of
Rhode Island the same
night. We played Eastern
Michigan and Ithaca, a
strong Division II school, the
same nieht AnH hpat
Rutgers 1-0 in seven innings
and University of
Massachusetts 4-0 on the
same night.
"We also have a tough
road schedule," Drake
understated.
After this weekend's
Orlando tournament, the
team heads west for the
Texas A and M Invitational.

top teams in the country,";
