. of 150. With 34 RBIs this season,
Maher would bceak not only the school
record, but the NCAA mark, as well.
"Kim (Maher) is probably the
purest hitter that I've ever coached,"
said Wright "She'll not only make an
impact with her bat and with her de¬
fense, but also with her leadership."
Maher will be one of only three
seniors rearming. The two other se-
niors, catcher Christa Yorke and des¬
ignated player Michele Bolt are both
expected to produce tag.
"Mkhele(Bolt)couldbreakafew
records ofherownthis year andlthink
Oirista(York) could be one ofthe best
catchers in the country," said Wright
Although only four starters from
last season nave departed, their ab-
:;ences may be difficult to fill. Two
thirds of the pitching staff has gradu¬
ated and junior Maureen Brady must
step up and fill the roll of staff ace left
behind by Marcie Green. Brady was
10-6 last season with a 1.31 ERA
The two spots are likely to be filled by
freshmen, who although unexneri
enced, are extremely talented, accord¬
ing to Wright.
'1 think Jennifer Clark and Kelly
Sparks can step up big and fill the two
pitching spots for us," said Wright.
ti addition to Clark and Sparks,
Michelle Papi, Shelly Rude, Brandy
Hall, twins Laura and Randy Berg and
Christa's younger sister Robyn York
men class. Fiveof the freshmen played
on the same under 18 league team that
won nationals last year.
Laura Berg or Robyn York will be
fighting for the left field position, left
vacant by 1993-94 first team All-West
region player Donna McDaniel. :
The Bulldogs who finished 38-24
last season and third in the WAC have
both the talent and the desire to be
something special this year, according
to Wright       /        -
"I think this could prove to be one
of the best teams ever at FSU."

"I think jt was stated best by
coach fBobj Hoffman; we'realittle
too hungry at' times" Mayberry
said. "We don't have that fluid
motion. We just have to reiax." •
Seth Marshall and Carl Ray
Harris are off to good starts.
Marshall is averaging 15 points a
game and six rebounds a game while
Harris is averaging a team-high 21
points.
Despite the two losses, senior
center Lee Mayberry said die Bull¬
dogs feel they are playing better
than last year:
"We're way ahead of where we
were last yean you can see it on die
floor,'1 Mayberry said. ,  .
Saiasaid the Bulldogs are ahead
of last year but only experience-
wise. The Huskies finished 13-14
overall last season and have a new
coach with a new starting five.
Bob Bender replaces Lynn
Nance, who bad a 50-62 record in
four years with the Huskies, Bender
spent the last five seasons coaching
at III inois State.
Leading the Huskies, who along
with the Bulldogs run a three-guard
offense, is 6-1 Jason Tyrus. Tyrus
is the only Huskie averaging double
figures in points a game (14.5),
Senior center Maurice Woods is
averging five points a game, sec¬
ond on the .team. However, be is
averaging only 2.5 rebounds a

"It is a great opportunity for

college football program for the
second year in a row. I hope we can
come out with some pride in the

play against anybody." j*

"This is a challenge for Colo¬
