three matches, earning the right to
return to the next day’s semi
finals. She defeated Diane Stickell
15-10, 15-5, to capture the cham
pionship of the first two events in
the four event tournament.
Sobotta had only played squash
once before during a practice ses
sion for the event. “It is a strange
sport and it took awhile to get us
ed to,” Sobotta said, “but once I
got the hang of it I played well.”
The event took place at the
downtown YMCA. The next
scheduled event is tennis, to be
held May 11 and 12 at the Penn
briar Tennis Club.
Tennis is Sobotta’s strongest
event and a victory would capture
the overall title for the multi
talented athlete.

and we made some fundamental
mistakes,” Young said. He was
pleased with the pitching but was
not “happy with fielding or hit
ting while men were on base.”
John Hansen, team captain and
centerfielder, led the Cubs’ with a
triple, double and single between
both games.
The Cubs travelled to Geneva
on April 11 and were shocked
again. The Cubs tumbled with
scores of 6-3 and 5-0 in the
double-header. “Again, we had
decent pitching, our fielding was
much more sharp but we had no
hitting at all,” Young com
mented. Joe Stanger, third
baseman, stood out when he
cracked a two run double. Troy
Williams, starting pitcher, “...pit
ched a real good game by having
early control,” Young said.
Four double-headers were
originally scheduled before the
Case Western and Geneva games.
However, disappointment over
came the Cubs since these were
both rained out. “The team’s at
titude remains at 100 percent con
fidence. The problem of having
eight games cancelled at the start
of the season dampened the
team’s spirit.”

about the team’s future. “We
have team leaders that act as role
models and' give the team
cohesiveness.”
John Hansen, team captain and
centerfielder is a definite asset to
the team. “He’s our only senior
and is strong enough to make it to
the pro’s,” commented Young.
Junior Mike Angelo behind
home plate and sophomore pit
cher Troy Williams act as influen
tial team members according to
Young. “Angelo is a good all
around player and acts as a team
leader and Williams is a finesse
pitcher with a lot of style. He has
a mastery of all his pitches and is
not afraid to use them in any
situation.”
Sophomore pitcher Rich Hill,
and Joe Stanger, a sophomore
covering third base, serve as team
assets also. “Hill is an outstan
ding power pitcher with an ex
cellent fastball,” Young added,
“and Stanger is the best all
around athlete with great running
speed, throwing power and
overall agility.”
Even with the losses to Case
Western and Geneva, both the
coach and the Cubs have a
positive outlook on the coming
season.
