SOFTBALL

Head Coach

Outlook
A strong nucleus of 10 veterans, including last year's top 5
hitters, will give the Bloomsburg State College softball
team reason to believe that its success from a year ago will
continue in 1982.
While posting a 23-9 record and finishing 9th in the AIAW
Division Ill national tourney in 1981 , the Huskies rolled to
the school 's best season ever behind strong hitting and it
appears that this season will be no different. Laurie Snyder,
BSC's leading hitter in 1981 with a .395 average returns
along with fellow sophomores Deb Long (.365) and Anne
Schmidt (.323) as well as juniors Sue Hicks (.375) and Cheryl
Sedlak (.306) to lead an offensive attack that averaged six
runs per game a year ago .
To balance the offensive strength , all indications are that
the team will be tough defensively and have an improved
mound staff.
Veterans Carolyn Harley and Long will patrol leftfield and
centerfield respectively and along with either newcomer
Deb Schneiderhan or upperclassmen Mary Hassenplug or
Hicks in rightfield, " should make the outfield defensively
sound ." The addition of freshman Brenda Long's strong
arm to the mound staff will be a plus for the Huskies. Long
joins standout pitcher Tina Souders, who had a fine 14-2
mark last season .

JAN HUTCHINSON, a member
of the Health, Physical Education and Athletics staff at BSC
since January 1978, is in her
fifth year as head softball
coach . She is also the Husky
field hockey coach .
A native of Newton, NJ, Mrs.
Hutchinson received her Bachelor of Science degree in 1971
from East Stroudsburg State
College and her Master of
Education degree in Physical Education from the same
institution in 1979.
Before coming to BSC, Mrs. Hutchinson was on the
faculty at Blair Academy, Blairstown , NJ , where she
initiated the women 's interscholastic sports program and
served as head coach of field hockey, basketball and
softball. Her softball coaching record after four seasons at
BSC stands at 50-35.

Assistant Coach
CATHERINE CONSTABLE, is
in her third year as assistant
coach for the BSC softball
squad . Ms. Constable is a graduate of BSC, receiving her B.S.
in speech pathology in December 1975 and her M.Ed . in 1976.
While attending BSC , Ms.
Constable was a member of the
field hockey and basketball
teams .

Sophomore Kathy Behan will be at one corner of the
infield holding down the starting spot at third base along
side of Schmidt , the Huskies' shortstop . Sedlak will
complete the double play combination at second base,
while first base will be a battle between Long , Snyder, and
freshmen Brenda Long and Denise Veronick. Sophomores
Denise Henderson, Laurie Snyder and Mary Hassenplug will
make up the catching crew.
