Although a club team by official status, the schedule comprised of boasting all varsity teams. Initially, with no pre-season, no scholarship athletes and very schools
limited resources, the team was at a distinct disadvantage in this fine field of competitors losing its first four games by a total of eleven goals. They were outscored by their opponents 16-5. From this point, despite being plagued by injuries and academic scheduling problems, the team rallied through hard work, deter mination and spirit exemplifying the finest attributes of athletic endeavor to win seven of its last nine games, finishing with a win ning record of 7-6-0 on the year. They outscored their opponents 33-15. This phenomenal performance included a berth in the finals of the RIWSA state championship at Providence College. After a halftime tie of 0-0, the team bowed 31 in the final minutes of the game. Because of the successful ef forts of all involved, the team has been elected to varsity status for the 1984 season and will compete as a NCAA Division III contender. The performance and leadership of seniors Kristine Powers, Joyce Gawron and Kristen Lomker will be sorely missed. Tom DiPitro
