Seniors Lori Robarge and Lisa Maner will lead the 1983 Toreras into their second season as an NCAA Divison I com– petitor.

Ellen Silber is back for her sophomore year with a year's experience behind her. The newcomers are led by junior college transfer Veronica Velez.

Other newcomers include Betsy Gibbons, a junior in her second year at USO, freshmen Gina Trapeletti (St. Paul HS in Whittier) and Randi Tallman (Puyallup HS in Puyallup, WA). Coming off an excellent spring, the women are looking for– ward to a fine 1983 season .
