"They just don't stop trying. They fight to the end," said Tully, echoing (he sentiments of the entire Fordham squad. Fordham's tenth win of the season was achieved at the expense of an outmanned Molloy team. Spectacular play from the five starters highlighted the6-l victory. Frei, Tully, DeCarvalho, Brown and Gvildys all romped to victory, dropping only five games among them. These performances did nothing to hurt the team's confidence against Army. Fordham split its two doubles matches, the team of Tully and Cynthia Russo winning by a lopsided 8-1 margin, and the team of Ann O'Malley and Chris O'Dwyer losing by a close 8-5 score. With the season completed, the Lady Rams will lose the services of seniors Frei, Tighe, Jeanne Rosendaleand Kelly Craffey. "It was an experience that I'll always remember," commented Frei on her four years as a leading member of the Lady Rams. "The friendships I made from the team I'll remember more than the matches." Tighe also valued the closeness of the team during her successful stint here at H>r- dham. She also had a great deal of praise for Coach Rooney.

"They were fine players, great girls," commented Rooney. "The real essence of tho University. But life goes on. The team should remain strong." That is true. Even with the great losses, the Lady Rams should remain at the top as a team. With the return of Tully, DeCarvalho, Brown, Buschi and Gvildys, and the addition of another top freshman class and the return of Moira Clancy, who had only one semester of eligibility remaining and saved it for ne\t fall, the Lady Rams should, once again, be a dominate team. ^ For Sale-10 1G" * 20" NASA Space Shultlo, S|)J" photos, frames.
