p oor record overall, but some records set The first Canyon Springs team to belong to any league was the girls ' soccer team. Although the team finished last in the Ivy League, with a record of one win and 17 losses, it managed to establish three firsts. The team ' s only win was against North High School, but that win also made history. When Lisette Acosta scored the winning goal, she made her team the first Canyon Springs team to win against a varsity opponent. I was very surprised about our record, Acosta said, but for a junior varsity team that played many varsity teams, we did pretty well. We worked hard and long, Ni- cole Nowacki explained. We came close on several occasions. In fact, the team came close seven times, each time losing by only one goal. Chosen the team ' s Most Valuable Player and the Most Valuable Player for Defense, Buffie Contreras was honored by being named All-Ivy League. It was a third first: she was the first from Canyon Springs to be honored as an all-league player. Buffie earned this, Coach Peg- gy Evans said, because she would never quit, and we could always count on her. Other awards went to Jennifer Landtiser, the team captain, and to Wendy Ruiz. Ruiz, whom the coach described as having great aggressive- ness, was named MVP for Offense. Our season could have been a little bit better, Lisa Turmon ad- mitted. We took a lot of sarcasm from the boys because of our losing streak, but still we all tried hard. We all had fun. GIRLS ' SOCCtR, FRONT ROW: P.iub Clrccn. Jen- R.ncc Slorcy .

ickoff season terrific ' for boys ' soccer team It would be hard to improve on the JV boys ' soccer team ' s first sea- son. The team went undefeated, with 1 6 wins and four ties. We did better than we expect- ed, said Chris Perea, who was the captain and goalie. Before the season began, the play- ers said, no one thought the team would go undefeated. I was pleasantly surprised, said Coach Mike Hughes, who had been coaching soccer 15 years. We probably would have lost, if we didn ' t have such a good goalkeep- er as Chris Perea, said Jeff Oliva, named one of the team ' s two aca- demic MVP ' s. Among those officially recognized was Pedro Morales, who was chosen Most Valuable Player. He scored 21 of the 77 goals scored by the team during the season. Mike Serrato had a productive sea- son, also, scoring 20 goals and taking the offensive MVP award. Kou Her, who said he played to relieve the pressures of life, was named the team ' s defensive MVP. Also winning awards were Des- mond Rebello, winner of the coaches ' award, and Gary Turpin, named an academic MVP. According to the coaches, team members had two reasons to be espe- cially proud of their undefeated sea- son: though a JV team, they played five varsity teams and won; in addi- tion, in all the games no one was ejected for any foulups or for dirty play. Coaching was great, Perea said. They taught us well and understood the team. We had a terrific season, Oliva added. ' «:• . - ' . :. . -..tc. A. ' BOYS- SOCCtR.
