Team to swing into action

By Lyndsey Shinoda
Special to the Daily Forty-Niner

Finishing third place in the conference isnít bad.  But head coach Sue Ewart wants more for her womenís golf team, such as being one of the top 75 teams in the country.

Ewart said she and her team are excited for the upcoming season.  Every player is returning, and there are a few new additions to the team as well.

ìEvery year, I try to bring in better players and get better scores,î Ewart said.

She said she is looking for a little bit of improvement in the fall and a lot in the spring.

Ideally, her team will finish in the top three in the conference again, she said.

ìI would like to have everybody consistently shooting in the 70ís,î she said.  ìFive good scores in the 70ís would be great.î

This goal is achievable with the leadership of senior team captain Fredrika Schlasberg.  She, along with her teammate, sophomore Shelbie Jasper, will carry the team this year.  Another key player is freshman Carla Legaspi.

Despite lots of stiff competition, Ewart feels that her team can move up the ladder.

She said that they possess a lot of depth and talent, and if they can be consistent, they will be unstoppable.

With four tournaments this fall and six in the spring, the golfers have plenty of time to prove themselves.

Their first test comes Sept. 7-8, when they will be traveling to Fort Collins, Colo., to compete in the RAM Fall Classic.
