Any Given Day: Softball Team Ready To Turn the Corner in 2011

. Any.given.day..Those.three.words.might.as.well.stand.as.the.slogan.for.the.2011.Norfolk.State.softball.season.as.the.team’s.season.gets.underway.this.weekend.. With.five.significant.contributors.lost.from.last.year’s.team.and.with.six.freshmen.and.two.transfers.entering.the.program.this.year,.competition.is.fierce.for.many.of.the.starting.spots.in.this.year’s.lineup..And.that.is.just.the.way.interim.head.coach.Heidi Cavallo.wants.it.. “We.have.not.told.anyone.on.the.team.they.are.going.to.start,”.said.Cavallo,.who.was.named.to.the.interim.post.last.May.after.the.end.of.the.2010.campaign..“They’re.not.getting.complacent..They.have.that.drive.in.them.now,.because.they.all.challenge.each.other.to.do.better.”. Cavallo.and.first-year.assistant.coach.Amanda Haverman.have.the.difficult.task.of.replacing.regular.starters.at.catcher,.

shortstop,.designated.player.and.both.corner.outfield.spots..With.

the.competition.so.close.at.sev-eral.positions,.the.coaches.will.

almost.certainly.go.into.the.season.opener.still.making.

the.final.decision.on.the.starting.lineup.

. Just.do.not.get.used.to.seeing.that.

lineup.every.time..The.coaches.have.stated.that.this.season,.whoever.is.hitting.is.going.to.be.starting,.which.could.mean.a.dif-

ferent.starting.9.nearly.every.game.. “We’re.approaching.this.season.like.we.are.a.team.and.a.family,”.said.Cavallo..“Anyone.can.be.on.the.field.on.any.given.day..We’re.going.to.use.a.lot.of.lineups..They’ve.worked.hard.to.mentally.prepare.for.that..They.know.how.it’s.going.to.be.”

. NSU.hit..251.as.a.

team.last.

year.with.just.five.home.runs.on.the.way.to.a.14-28.overall.campaign,.including.3-9.in.the.conference..With.a.youth.move-ment.underway.–.in.addition.to.the.six.freshmen.already.here,.Cavallo.signed.five.players.to.early.letters.of.intent.in.Novem-ber.for.next.season’s.incoming.class.–.the.coaching.staff.is.looking.to.take.the.program.to.the.next.level.

Infield. NSU.lost.just.one.regular.starter.among.the.four.infield.spots,.but.several.players.have.shuffled.around.to.fit.the.needs.of.this.year’s.team.. Junior.Candice vasquez.manned.third.base.last.year,.but.this.year.that.spot.will.be.held.down.by.junior.transfer.Whit-ney Holland.along.with.senior.Jeanette Sauceda,.who.played.third.as.a.freshman.. “Whitney’s.glove.work.is.the.best.I’ve.seen.at.NSU,”.said.Cavallo..“She.has.a.cannon.of.an.arm.and.will.be.a.middle-of-the-lineup.power.hitter..She.will.be.able.to.score.a.lot.of.runs.”. Sauceda.is.in.the.mix.at.first.base.with.a.pair.of.freshman.in.Melina valles.and.Nikki Jones..Sauceda.started.every.game.there.last.year.but.will.be.pushed.by.the.power-hitting.Valles..Jones.is.capable.of.spot.starting.at.first,.but.more.than.likely.will.see.most.of.her.time.at.designated.player.. “Jeanette.worked.really.hard.at.solidifying.her.defense.and.on.her.hitting,”.said.Cavallo..“Melina.is.so.strong.at.first.base..She.can.really.hit.the.ball.and.is.the.strongest.player.coming.in..It’s.going.to.come.down.to.the.wire,.because.both.players.could.start.. “Nikki.(Jones).is.our.number.one.utility.player.as.a.fresh-man..More.than.likely.she’ll.end.up.at.designated.player..She.just.has.such.a.natural.swing.and.can.hit.the.ball.far.”. Constantly.on.the.move,.this.year.Vasquez.makes.the.switch.to.second.base,.where.she.will.split.time.with.sopho-more.Gipsy Ramirez..Senior.Kristen Fungo.is.also.in.the.mix.but.is.still.recovering.from.shoulder.surgery.. “Candice.has.the.maturity.to.play.there,.is.level-headed.and.knows.the.plays,”.said.Cavallo.. Ramirez.saw.the.majority.of.the.time.at.second.last.season.and.will.also.see.time.at.shortstop.this.year.after.the.gradua-tion.of.Jamie.Raab..Ramirez.will.be.pushed.at.short.by.fresh-man.Morgan Boyd,.a.lefty.slap.hitter.who.brings.speed.to.the.NSU.lineup.. “It.helps.having.Gipsy.at.short.because.of.her.glove.work,.foot.work,.speed.and.tremendous.range,”.said.Cavallo..“Her.hit-ting.has.been.the.biggest.improvement.for.her... “Morgan.is.just.an.all-around.athlete..She.quick,.has.great.range,.good.footwork.and.can.get.to.a.lot.of.balls..Her.biggest.thing.is.working.on.her.mental.toughness.”
