1 Sutter Keachez The freshman soccer team got off to a good start under the coaching of Br. Verre and Mr. Gagner. The team did well despite the fact that a majority had never played soccer before. The members of the team learned the fundamentals of soccer, and will definitely be a credit to the sophomore team next year. The sophomore soccer team had an outstanding season this year, compiling a record of 10-5-3. Many players improved greatly since freshman year, as a result of hard work put in by both the players and much time and effort from Coach William Miller. The team was lead in scoring by Peter Perisic who had 14 goals and 10 assists Top Right: Jim Sadecki attempts to catch an oppo- nent. Middle Left: After stealing the ball a lone Vik- ing pulls ahead.
