players to an already excellent

who was voted to the all-tourney
team at last spring’s women’s softball
world series in Norman, Okla. Stoll
and fellow pitching ace Shan McDo
nald accounted for 63 of the Texas
A&M wins, with Stoll taking 35 and

Offensively, senior Rhonda Reese
and sophomore Carrie Austgen will
return. Reese, a catcher, is the all-
time leading hitter for A&M with a
.340 lifetime batting average. She hit
.337 and drove in 34 runs last year.
’icks
Austgen, at second base, contri
buted a fine .327 average in 1979-80,
and led the team in runs scored, dou
bles, triples and a school-record 23
stolen bases.
Other returning Aggies include
Maria Resendez, third base (.265);
Mary Lou Wargo, center field (.273
with 24 RBIs), Karen Guerrero,
right field (.250), Melody Pritchard,
left field (.248), Shannon Murray,
first base (.233) and Nancy Sullivan,
shortstop (.231).
Galloway has also reinforced his
bench, adding utility players Patti
Holthaus from Gunthrie, Okla., and
Vicky Kraus, from St. Louis.
Two others expected to provide
help are speedsters Pam Whigham of
Houston and Rosemary Ruffino of
Bryan.
A
Texas A&M set a number of school
marks last season including best
fielding percentage (.949), most hits
(330), most wins (72), most consecu
tive victories (23), best national fin
ish (third), most shutouts (32), and
fewest runs and hits allowed.
The Aggies, after losing once in
the national tournament in May,
advanced all the way to the finals of
the loser’s bracket at the tournament
before bowing out, 1-0, to eventual
national champion Utah State.
In 1979, the Aggies finished fifth
nationally.
