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.

Rookie Freshmen Shoot For Success by Paul M- Mylod At the beginning of the season, experience and skill were definite- ly lacking, yet through hard work and a lot of team spirit the Freshmen Girls ' Soccer Team became impressive, well- rounded contenders in the S.M.A. The Maples finished the season in a surpris- ing second place as a result of falling twice to the first place Lahser Knights. For half the team, said rookie coach Laurel Klepinger, it was their first time ever to play serious soccer. She added, The success of our team couldn ' t have come without the tremen- dous determination and cooperation of the kids. For their outstanding efforts many were rewarded with high honors. Suzy Beagan received the Most Valuable Player Award for scoring a team high eleven goals. Having never played before, Cathy Wiczek picked up the Most Improved Award for scoring five goals. Lisa Plummer was rewarded the Most Valuable Defensive Player Award while goalie Erin Dambach was given the While maneuvering around Andover ' s offensive player, Lindsay Bentzen regains control of the ball in order to ensure a well placed ball upfield. photo by Paul Donar most prestigious honor of best all around player. Megan Peterson, who played the defensive position of fullback most frequently throughout the season, said, The Maple offense really stood out at the opening of the season and it was almost our job as an inexperienced defense to catch up to them in talent and ability. She continued, It was very exciting to see us {the defense) all improving quickly, because by the end of the season we were a more balanced, all-around soccer team. Offensive power Suzy Beagan de- scribed the Maple offense as being very strong. She said, I saw little effort at first, but as I was scoring and as we were winning, they wanted to score too and be more a part of winning. All in all, it was a very well played and successful season. Molly Roberts summed up the season well. We were shaky at first, but as each of us got better and worked harder, it made working together much easier. The success of our ■ m team couldn ' t have K come without the deter- F l mination of the kids. ■ r M COACH LAUREL K.
