Inaugural class bids farewell First recruiting class in JMU softball history gears up for a final run
STORY BY ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR MATTHEW STOSS
In 2002.12 freshmen came lo JMU to form the inaugural recruiting class of a fledgling softball program. Now, four years later, Liz George, Katie Jaworksi, Nata- lie Burd, Ashlee Schenk and Leah Conley are all that remain. This season, the five are set to become the first recruiting class to graduate in JMU softball history. "I don't want to go there just yet and think about them leaving," JMU softball coach Katie Flynn said. "But it's really exciting to see them as seniors, leading the team out onto the field I |ust really want them to enjoy the season and get the most out of their senior year." Of the remaining the five, only four are still on the active roster. Conley, in her final year, has assumed a coaching position on Flynn's staff. Last season, the Lang- home. Pa., native was sidelined due to tendonitis in her knee — an injury that was a result of overuse "I'm just happy to have the opportunity to still be with the team," Conley said. "For some reason, I wasn't meant to be on the field, but on the bench helping out and encourag- ing my teammates." The other four, however, are quite active on the roster. George is a pitcher/center fielder who led the Dukes in 2004 in batting (.376), on-base percent- age (.425), earned run average (1.85) and wins (15) — stats that were good enough to earn her All- Colonial Athletic Assoc i.itum Second Team honors last season Joining George as an All-CAA Second Team selection is Jaworski. The utility player led JMU with 6 home runs and 36 runs batted in, while posting the team's second-highest bat ting average at .327 While CAA honors are nice, the seniors have something else in mind for their final run "We'd like to play for a championship — and to beat [reigning CAA champ) Hofstra." Jaworski said. "We want to leave it all on the field." Sharing in the title quest are Burd and Schenk. Burd led the outfield in putouts with 64, while batting .255 last season, and Schenk proved her durability by catching and starting all but one of JMU's 62 games in 2004. "We've matured a lot," Schenk said. "We've gained so much experience that we know how to handle things in different situations. We're focused one goal. Today, we're unified " In the not-so-dtstant yesterday, there wasn't even a team to be unified on. Flynn, the Dukes' first and only coach, came to JMU in October 2000 from the University of North Caro- lina-Greensboro to begin work on putting together a softball program from trie ground up.

"I think to share their feelings and emotions witn other long, it has become socially acceptable." REVIEW 'Rule of Four' melds mystery, substance BY ERIN WEIRETER staff writer For the past few months, my reading habits have been typified by a certain genre — I admit I have been insanely caught up in the action/adventure/thriller novels that ""FEVER have become so popular as of late. I have read every Dan ■ Brown book I can get my hands on and have scanned the aisles of Bames & Noble looking for similar reading, WH6KILIED.. which, let me assure you, is readily'aaiiy avaiiaDIt'.available. Yet as much as I enjoy those Dan Brown books, I'm starting to think there's not .THE too much to them.

I refuse to believe I'm the only one that feels this way. Almost everyone I know has at least read "The Da Vinci Code" (some even claim it's their favorite book, according to their Facebook profiles), but if you ask one of these people what exactly happened, I'm sure they would be hard pressed to remember details. Admit it you know someone like this. 1 know I do. So I've gotten antsy. Maybe I've been spoiled — I didn't discover Dan Brown until after many of his books were pub- lished, so getting my fill was easy. All I did was read mem right after another. But the lack of substance is getting boring. I found the thrill I was looking for in Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason's "The Rule of Four." I picked this book up during one of my many searches through book- stores and was truly impressed. This book has all the same elements of an engaging novel — murder, mystery, BY Ai.hx SIDNEY deception — yet it takes the time to fully explain itself. have you thinking of Led Zepplin. senior writer Paul Harris is weeks from graduation at Princeton "Havana Gang Brawl" and "Dirty Dancehall" are nearly University, and is on the brink of finishing his thesis.
