- SOFTBALL Irish look to continue April success over weekend
By MATT LOZAR Asxociate Sports Editor
The month of April has always been nice to the Irish, but for the third straight year, it has been really nice. Having won 12 straight games in April, Notre Dame looks to extend that streak today, hosting IUPU-Fort Wayne in a non-conference doublehead er. The Irish have won 76 percent of their games all time in April. In 2001, the Irish compiled a perfect 23-0 record while last year the Irish went 24-1. According to Notre Dame coach Deanna Gumpf, the reasons for the success in April aren't too sur prising. "It has been a good month in the past and so far so good this year," Gumpf said. "We have had a month and a half of games already. get to play at home and can play games consistently. In April we get some momentum." Prior to April, the Irish started the year with one of the country's most challenging schedules. For the second straight year, the Irish played the defending national champion in the month of February. During the flrst flve weeks of the season, the Irish played flve ranked teams. The rigorous schedule allows the Irish to see where they rank against the best in the country and leads to their impressive April records. "It helps tremendously. Everyone has their own opinion, but I think we get prepared for the rest of our year," Gumpf said. "Once we play the toughest teams in the country, we know what it takes to beat them." The formula during the current 12-game win ning streak has been simple - receiving steady output from each of the three aspects of the game. On offense, shortstop Andria Bledsoe is the hottest of the Irish hitters with a .395 average, two home runs, 14 RBis and three stolen bases over the past 12 games. Five other Notre Dame hitters join Bledsoe with an average of .300 or above during the winning streak. With the bats producing more than enough runs, the Irish pitching staff hasn't needed all of them. The staff has allowed 11 earned runs over the past 12 games, led by Big East co-Pitcher of the Week CLAIRE KELLEYfThe Observer Megan Clolll slides into second base during a game against St. John's April 11.The Irish will look to continue see SOFTBALL/page I6 their success In April when they take on IUPU-Fort Wayne today.
