Bolster grabs Big Ten awards BY MIKE GREIFENBERG Finishing the Big Ten in second place isn't the only thing that the Michigan women's softball team has done two years in a row. Senior pitcher Michelle Bolster became the team's second consecutive Big Ten Player of the Year, following last year's winner Vicki Morrow. Bolster consistently overpowered opponents, allowing barely over one hit every two innings and posting a Big Ten ERA of 0.94. These statistics also enabled her to be named Michigan's Most Valuable Player. Bolster wasn't the only Wolverine who was rewarded for an Bolster ...Big Ten MVP outstanding season. Joining her on the All-Big Ten First team were first-year players Bonnie Tholl and Julie Cooper. Tholl hit .265 and anchored the Michigan defense at shortstop and Cooper'stbat helped the team jump off to a quick conferenceelead. A notable absentee on the first team was sophomore Jenny Allard, who made the second team. Allard led the Wolverines both at the plate and in the field, hitting .306 while not making an error in the Big Ten season. Senior outfielder Bridget Venturi made the second team as well. She was also errorless in league play. Team awards were given to junior Nan Payne, who won the Maize and Blue Award for her outstanding effort, desire, and attitude, and to pitcher Andrea Nelson, who received the Rookie of the Year award for her club-leading 16 victories on the mound. These individual honors help brighten a rollercoaster year that ended by losing not just three of four games, but the Big Ten Championship as well in the sea- son's last series against Indiana.
