Few expansion teams in any sport
can boast a .667 season in their first
year of play.
But Michigan's women's softball
team can, having posted a 12-6 record in
1978, its first year of existence. And
even more than havinga successful
season, Coach Gloria Soluk admits, "It
was fun."
"THERE ARE advantages to
coaching a sport the first year it is
played," she continued. "It eliminates
some problems.
"First, you don't have to change any
heads around. The players learned my
way of thinking and my rules first.
There was no need to eliminate years of
someone else's coaching tradition.
"THE SECOND advantage was that,
there was a.lot of enthusiasm on cam-
pus for the team. A lot of women
already at Michigan had wanted to play
fastpitch softball, and the newly formed
team gave them the opportunity."
From that team, composed entirely
of walk-ons, came some pleasant sur-
prises.
Soluk considers Sheryl Tominac "an
All-American catcher," and called pit-
cher Teresa Gardocki "one of the finest
in the state." Ann Slade was a standout
in centerfield.
HITTING WAS the problem for the
Wolverines last year. Soluk concedes,
"There were a few games where the
pitching was there but the hitting
wasn't."
That is mostly what Soluk, who also
coaches women's basketball, will be
looking for during recruiting.
There are three full scholarships
available, but tryouts will be held again
next year until the team is better
established.
Should the type of talent that made
it last year emerge again, the softball
team can look forward to another suc-
cessful season.

SOME POPULAR varsity sports such

depending on how and with what you
like to hit your ball, you can play on a
Michigan club team in handball, pad-
dleball, racquetball, squash, or
volleyball.
A large ski club sponsors several
trips each winter and the list is rounded
out by the three B's of bicycling,
bowling, and boxing.
CLUB COMPETITION is often on a
high level at Michigan, buf many teams
welcome beginners they can turn on to
an individual sport. And depending on
the sport you're interested in, many
club teams offer a large dose of the
peculiar pleasures and pains of being a
committed member of a team; prac-
tices are often five days a week with
most games on weekends.
You'll probably have to arrange your
own transportation to away contests,
but club sports at Michigan are among
the best examples of athletic com-
petition for the sheer sweet hell of it.
