HOUSTON PRODUCT
DENTON,
TX—Head softball coach Dianne Baker announced
the signing of Lauren Gustartis (Bellaire, TX/Bellaire
H.S./San Jacinto College) to a National Letter of Intent
at Texas Woman's University for the 2003-2004 academic school
year. Early signing period runs from November 13 through November
20, 2002.
“Lauren Gustartis has wanted to play for Texas Woman's
University since she was a junior in high school. We are very
excited to have her become a part of the program because of
the hitting power she brings to the plate,” Baker said. “Lauren is a physical player who can
play either first or third base.”
Gustartis is a 5-4 infielder who will transfer to TWU after
playing two seasons at San Jacinto College. She earned Region
XIV Conference Honorable Mention honors at first base in 2002
and played on the Region XIV All-Star Team. Gustartis is a
co-captain for the Lady Gators this season. She was a three-year
letterwinner in softball at Bellaire High School and was tabbed
First Team All-District 17-5A every season. In 1999 and 2001,
Gustartis was named the District's Most Valuable Player.
Gustartis was a Texas Scholar award winner and graduated Bellaire
H.S. with a 3.26 GPA. She played club softball for the Southwest
Heat (1997-98), Cardinals (1999) and Texas Thunderbolts (2000-01)
