Girls' Varsity Soccer One game past the halfvvay marl-1 of the '84-85 season, the girls varsity soccer team is optomistic about becoming CCS Champi- ons. Says fourth year coach David Gold, We are right where we expected and deserve to be at this point - top of the league! After a disappointing league opener, a O-O tie with Poly, the Titans settled dovvn to win their next Q games, scoring oO and concede ing no goals.
