----- The time is now for Experienced the 1993 Northern Team Steps Iowa Panther Into Valley softball team. After ----- improving from 24- 40 to 29-24-1 last year, the sky is the limit for the squad, head coach Meredith Bakley said. UNI enters the Missouri Valley Conference this year after competing in the Gateway Conference in its first 1 0 years of Division I play. The change is small with the composition of teams much the same -Western and Eastern Illinois are no longer included, while Creighton and Tulsa have been added. The Valley does not have an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament as the Gateway did, but features some of the midwest's best softball teams. Depth and experience will be in abundance as the Panthers return all but one starter- all-Gateway catcher Vicki White. UNI featur~ nine players (one sophomore, four juniors and four seniors) that started in at least 34 games last year.

Senior Deena Chipp, a two-time all-Gateway selection, leads Chipp Leads an offense that rewrote the UNI record book last year. She Explosive holds UNI Division I season and career marks for home runs, Offense batting average and slugging percentage, along with the career marks for steals. Chipp teamed with juniors Karen VandeVoort and Heather Daters to post UNI 's top three Division I batting averages last year with marks of .390, .363 and .354, respectively. They helped the team post records for batting average (.293) and runs per game (4.67). Seniors Connie Fangmann (.285), Laura Novotny (.284) and jennifer Peters (.250) also posted career-best batting marks last year. Novotny was third in the nation, belting a school-record 11 triples for a 0.24 per game mark. Fangmann's 22 RBI were easily a career best and Peters is an effective number two batter, displaying deft bunting ability (13 sacrifices last fall) and speed with a school-record 19 steals last year.

Two freshmen will be thrown into battle from the Defense Improved start this spring. Great defense starts with the With Addition of pitching and shortstop positions, which is right Weber and Keiper where freshman Kandy Keiper and Stacy Weber fit into the 1993 season ...... Keiper showed the step up in competition was no problem with her 5-1 record and 0.92 ERA during the fall exhibition season. The Iowa all-stater allowed only 31 hits in 45 2/3 innings during the exhibition season (4.8 hits per game). Weber is also an Iowa all-stater and a complete "They will be player. She hit .304 during the fall, starting 16 of UNI's 19 games. Her 12 RBis topped the team. tremendous Weber's speed and hitting only add to an already players for us for potent offense, but her quickness and glovework will many years." fill a sore spot from the 1992 season, Bakley said. "We had two weaknesses last season that really hurt," Bakley said. "Our infield defense was weak and we didn't have depth in our pitching staff. We went after Kandy and Stacy and things worked out very well for us. They will be tremendous players for us for many years." Keiper joins veterans Dana Happel and Desiree Bebout to round out a solid pitching staff. Bebout has been a mainstay for UNI already, totaling 30 wins during her first two seasons. She is pace to become UNI's winningest pitcher, a mark held by Sarah O'Byrne (1987-90) with 60. Happel, a starter last year, may be pushed into a relief role. She could also see action as a utility player. 'We will start the spring with a three-pitcher rotation, but when we get into conference games we'll go with the top two," Bakley said. At the other end of UNI's battery is VandeVoort and jennifer Zbornik, a shortstop last year. Vande Voort will start, but may also see time at third base. While filling in for an injured VandeVoort during the fall, Zbornik hit .395, belting five doubles and driving in 10 runs. She ended the fall with a seven game hitting streak. Zbornik is a likely candidate for designated player duties. 'We are very fortunate to have two outstanding catchers," Bakley said. "Karen is a stronger thrower, but )en is such a good all-around player we need her in the lineup somewhere." Rounding out the infield is first baseman Amy Hendrickson, Novotny at second base and Fangmann at third. Hendrickson is a two-year starter, while Novotny and Fangmann have started in various positions for three years.

Outfield Full The Panthers claim one of the best outfields in the midwest, going into 1993 returning their top four players. Daters, of Talent, Chipp, Peters and sophomore Kristal Ward (.263,· 34 starts) Experience comprise a quartet that will rotate starts this spring. The foursome rotated outfield and designated player duties last year until Ward was hit by a pitch that broke her wrist. "Offensively, they all have excelled in different areas," Bakley said. "Heather is our long-ball threat, Deena can do anything- bunt, hit for power or average," Bakley said. "Jennifer is an excellent bunter with good speed and Krista I is a great contact hitter. "We have good speed in the outfield, we don't make errors and they all have good arms for throwing out runners at home," Bakley said. "The outfield is definitely our strength." ...... The Coaches
