The Irish will finish the day with a 2 p.m. game versus Detroit Mercy, and the two visiting teams will play each iffy'fwpw" other at noon. The records of the exhibi­ tion games will not count toward the 2006 season, nor will any of the stats. What the events will do is to give the team a better idea of where everyone stands on the field. But how big are these games to the members of this year’s team ? “Well, they’re very impor­ tant because they’re games,” catcher Mallorie Lenn said. “We want to see where we’re at for next season. Coach is taking them as seriously as any other game.” After graduating five starters last spring, players are seeing plenty of opportu­ nities for playing time. With the official start of the season so far off, few definite deci­ sions have been made as to who will be playing where on the field. Lenn, a First Team All-Conference player for the Irish, noted that no one on the team is too preoccupied with the eventual necessity of a starting lineup. “We’re actually not sure [who’s starting] yet,” Lenn said. “Everyone is playing, CONNECT WITH UP TO 20 PEOPLE INSTANTLY WITH THE TOUCH OF A BUTTON. and everyone gets equal chance to play each position.” THEN MAKE PLAN TO MOVE COUCH INTO YOUR PLACE OR BACK OUT TO STREET.
