Heart failure was a common occurrence among players, coaches and fans of this year's varsity soccer team. More than half of the games ended with a difference of a goal or less, Milton was beaten with three seconds left in the game, and four games went into overtime, with CDA losing only once. An even spread of talent contributed to the team's exciting play, and this left few players to warm the bench, in contrast with previous seasons. Injuries hurt the team early, but another able body was always ready to play. Starting fullback Andy Stephenson tore some ligaments in the memorial ditch against Andover, but converted fullback Tom Rourke replaced him and played commendably for the remainder of the season. Lack of size also limited team play, but this resulted in an improved short passing game. With such giants as Amir Ahari, Steve Perry, Greg Kaknes and Luke White in the game at the same time, the ball had to stay on the ground or was headed away by the opposing team. These same shorties also provided most of the offensive punch of the team, led by Amir Ahari,and Steve Perry with five goals each. Varsity soccer was shut-out only twice during the season, a tribute to the quick inside work of the line and the booming crosses and long shots of Drew Iones, Tom Ostheimer and Curt Metzger. ,Q A - Q' M- .gunn- , A - 7 I 5-in WU. - ,. , -- - s,,,,.

After the Exeter game, the defense let in an average of less than two goals a game, a fine achievement considering that half of those games were played at home on a field of reclaimed marsh, which the marsh reclaimed early in the season. Navins Cup winner Scott Pope kept the team's spirit up throughout the wet season and contributed despite his Cobb Room injury. Excitement, balance and mud characterized this years varsity soccer team, not to mention the stereo during practice and post-practice dips in the field. VVith two starting fullbacks, a halfback line and some crazy Persians returning, coaches Clunie and Harlow and captain Dave Smith are wished more of the same for next year. 18
