USD Softball 1987

1987 USD WOMEN'S SOFTBALL Last season the University of San Diego softball team finished the year with a 24-14 record, one of the best seasons in school history. The 1987 Toreras, under second-year coach Larry Caudillo, will be trying to improve upon that success. This year will be USD's second competing in the West Coast Athletic Conference and also its second competing at the NCAA Division I level. Two of the team's top three hitters return , but Caudillo will have all new faces on the mound. Sophomore Jeanne Weinsheim led the team last season in virtually every offensive category, batting .452 with 41 runs batted in, 39 runs scored, six homeruns and a .783 slugging percentage. She also had a .976 fielding percentage while playing first base. The team's lone senior will be Debbie Waynick, who batted .327 with 29 RBI and 19 runs scored in 1986. Waynick split her time last season behind the plate and at third base, which will probably be the case again this season. Caudillo will also be counting on a pair of juniors who started for the squad in 1986. Back at shorstop will be Andrea Clark, while Ann Martin will play one of the three outfield positions. Debbie Yoakum, another junior who played in 23 games a year ago, should also see considerable time in the outfield for the Toreras. Caudillo has four new pitchers on the team this season, with sophomore Susie Poser being the only non-freshman. Mandy Miller, Julie Lindhorst and Lisa Ziomkowski are the other three pitching candidates. The coach thinks the team can improve on last season 's success. " Our strength is I think we will have some depth, which we really didn't have last year," explained Caudillo. "The middle of our lineup is going to be strong, and our pitching could be strong. Our goal is to win 30 games. If we can get a good attitude going, we 'll be all right. "
