McFalls looking for gold reward
Emmil
By Matthew J. Rush
The Battalion
It has been one accolade after
another for a member of the Lady
Aggie softball team. During the
past six months, she has obtained
numerous A&M offensive
records, first team All-American
honors and now
a chance to play
for the top team
in United States
women's soft-
ball.
After spend
ing the summer
playing softball
around the
globe. Lady Ag
gie shortstop
Jennifer McFalls
was invited to
McFalls
tryout for the 1993 Amateur Soft-
ball Association USA Softball Na
tional Team.
"I'm really excited," McFalls
said. "There's going to be a lot of
competition and I've got to be at
my best."
McFalls recently returned from
competing in a tournament held
in Haarlam, Holland as a member
of the Chicago Select Team. Mc
Falls competed against teams
spanning from China to Italy and
she hit at a .323 clip during the ten
game tournament. That average
was the third best on the team.
"It was a great experience,"
McFalls said. "Playing there was
incredible. The fan support during
the whole tournament was great.
It was definitely a high spot in my
life and I'll never forget it."
McFalls was one of 110 players
selected from across the nation to
participate in the tryout camp this
weekend in Oklahoma City. She
was only one of 15 NCAA Divi
sion-! players invited to the camp.
"I'm very excited about it," Mc
Falls said. "It was really an honor
to be invited."
McFalls is eagerly awaiting the
auditions, but she realizes the key
to making the team is solid play.
"I just want to play well and be
comfortable," McFalls said. "I
want to keep up my hitting and I
think my defense will take care of
itself."
After the players have been
narrowed down to 60, the remain
ing players will compete in the
1994 Olympic Festival that will be
held in St. Louis, Missouri. The
top 17 players from the Festival
will be selected to represent the
United States as a part of the Na
tional team. The first stop for the
team will be the South Pacific
Classic, held in Sydney, Australia.
As she prepares to enter her se
nior campaign, the Grand Prairie
native has some high standards to
reach from last year.
McFalls compiled a lofty .427
batting average and scored 51
runs in 1992. Both accomplish
ments set new A&M records.
Those numbers just add to the
pressure to make the National
team, but McFalls said she is
ready to face the challenge.
"There is a lot of pressure,"
McFalls said. "I've got to deal
with it and it's there, but hopeful
ly it won't interfere with my play
ing."
Constraints aside, McFalls is
still hoping to help guide the
Lady Aggie softball team to an
other top 20 finish and a possible
national championship in the
spring.
"In my last year, I just want to
maintain a solid season and help
the team out," McFalls said. "Ob
viously I'd like to repeat what I
did last season, but I just want to
be solid."

and Tony Pena hit his third homer of the year in
the seventh.
