Young Team Celebrates Winning Season, Has Fun Too by K. Andreae E. Sard The words unique , fun and exciting can be used when de- scribing the 1985 girls ' varsity soccer season. There were many new and impressing aspects including one revolu- tionary and effective element involving the five starting freshmen. Katie Burke, Amanda Crooker, Heather Hamilton, Heather Marshall and Adie Olmsted took typical freshman abuse, but on the field, added strength and depth to the team. Both Crooker and Marshall were named to second team, All-League. Another key to the Maples ' success was newcomer Caroline Johnston, who was the foundation for one of the league ' s strongest defenses. This earned her positions on 1st team All-League, and All-County as well as Honorable Mention All-State. Carrie Page was also a crucial part of the Maples ' defense, and was named to 1st team All-League. Overall, the outstanding Maple defense, including goalkeeper Amanda Crooker allowed 18 goals for the season, while Defender Caroline Johnston, demonstrating unique soccer sense, makes an offensive run out of the back, illustrating her competitive desire to score. photo by Paul Donar the offense put 58 goals in their oppo- nents ' nets. The Maples tallied an impressive final record of ten wins, five losses, and two ties, with losses coming from three state-ranked teams. The ' 85 season also saw new attitudes both on and off the field. Co- Captains Katy Andreae and Elissa Sard initiated numerous fun, team-unifying activities, such as playing together informally during the fall and winter seasons, and pre-game psyche-up din- ners. The team ' s unity was a big reason for the record number of awards earned this season. Caroline Johnston received the Coach ' s Award. Andreae, ranked 3rd in the state, made 1st team All-State again, and was also the team ' s Most Valuable Player. Most Improved Player Heather Marshall summed up the season by saying, We had great individual players, but we worked as a team and had a great time in the process. This is the youngest 1 ' ' i r but most skillful team I ' ve had n seven years at Seaholm .

J.V. Soccer Rockers Sock It To Em by A. Carroll J. O ' Malley Strong individual performances, supported by the unified efforts of the entire squad, led the 1985 Junior Varsity Girls Soccer Team to an impres- sive and successful season. Captains were Beth Stokes, Rachel Mullett, and Andrea Scampa. Other strong players were forwards Amy Zangerle, Cheri Lee, and Ann Bookmeyer. Diane Ha- geman led the midfield. There was an uncommon unity and genuine friendship between the team- mates and their coach, Steve Mastra- geanis, this season. It was this bond which helped motivate the girls and keep them going. Said goalie Mary Beth Simon, Everybody knew each other; we grew close to each other, and Steve our coach. He not only told us what to do, but he showed us; and that made the difference in our play. One of the team ' s best games was a rain-shortened match against Andover. In a game earlier in the season, the Barons had embarrassed Seaholm with a 5-2 defeat. In the rematch, however, the Maples played extremely well and jumped to a 1-0 lead before thunder- storms ended the game as a Seaholm victory. As junior center forward Ann Bookmeyer said, We didn ' t just dribble. We were able to pass the ball to each o ther. Everyone was looking ahead up the field, passing the ball through to other Seaholm players, and coming to meet the ball. Everything really came together for us. The Maples ' outstan- ding play during that match served as an illustration of the benefits of hard work and determination. Junior Andrea Scampa, playing on defense, received the award of Most Valuable Player. Also on defense, sopho- more Mary Ring received a special award which represented the Four D s : drive, determination, dedication, and desire. Exemplifying these fine qualities, she attended every practice, rain or shine. Positive attitudes and good sportsmanship helped this year ' s team earn a winning record. The season was kept on a positive note by the Maples ' incredible desire to succeed, and the inspiration of their coach, Steve Mastrageanis. Working hard at challenging practices, the players completed a satisfying season. f illJI Hi HiSI ' «r J)] fl FRONT ROW: Mary Beth Simon. SECOND ROW Beth Stokes. Cheri Lee. Amy Zangerle.
