BLOOMSBURG STATE COLLEGE 1982 All-Americans Kathy Behan (38), Denise Henderson (CJ, Anne Schmidt (SS) and Tina Souders (P) Softball 1983 Outlook A nucleus of ten veterans, including four AllAmericans, return to aid the Bloomsburg State College softball team in its quest for a second straight national title. Last season , the Huskies posted a 28-4 overall record on the waytotheAIAW Division Ill National Title. This year BSC has moved into the NCAA Division 11 , but the outlook is just as bright. Returning All Americans Tina Souders (P) , Denise Henderson (C) , Anne Schmidt (SS) , and Kathy Behan (3rd) will combine with four other returning starters to keep the Huskies strong at all positions. The only loss from last year's championship team is powerhitting Cheryl Sedlak (2B) . Pitching will once again be one of the team 's main strengths with Souders, a junior, leading the staff. She comes off a 21-2 season including a 5-0 record at nationals . All five wins were shutouts with one of them being a no-hitter. Backing her up will be junior Anne Schmidt and freshman Chris Moyer who pitched Penns Valley High School to a district championship last year. Besides Henderson , Schmidt, and Behan, the other returning starters are Carolyn Harley (LF) , Deb Long (CF), Sue Hicks (RF) , and Laurie Snyder (1 B). Hicks was fourth on the team in RBl's with 12 and also hit .269. Harley was right behind Hicks with 11 RB l's and a .266 average. Long was the second leading batter with a .333 average and also drove in ten runs. Snyder's average fell to .197 last season, and she will have to return to 1981 form when she led the team with a .395 average. Second base is wide open , and the battle should center around three freshmen. Jean Millen and Karen Hertzler, both starters for other varsity teams, and Kathy Berry, will all try for the spot. With outstanding pitching and defense and a slight improvement on offense, the BSC move up to Division 11, could end with a sec_o nd straight national title. Safe!
