Intense best describes Softball’s Audrey White

INTENSE— the one word every­
one uses to describe senior third
baseman, Audrey White of UNCW’s
softball team. “She always has a goal
and has to reach that goal,” White’s
teammate and roommate Tiffany
Lindemann says.
White, a Horseheads, N.Y. native
is a vital part of the Lady Seahawks
tearh. Leading the team in runs, hits,
doubles, triples, and on-base percent­
age while maintaining a .376 batting
average, Lindemann said of White,
“She has good leadership qualities
because of her intensity. People look
up to her because she says she is go­
ing to do something and she better
accompUsh it.
