H MPIONSHIP DREAMS GO f'JEifE'-EH hrough the last half of the season, the Torrey Pines girls soccer team had engaged in a valiant pursuit ofthe Palomar League lead held by Poway sincethe beginning of league play. After losing one game and playing to two ties in the first half of the season, the girls faced an upfield battlein attempting to even things up with the Titans. After they were held to a tie by San Dieguito in the third game before the end of the season, the squad went into the final game of the season at Poway needing a win to claim half of the league crown. Just as they fell behind Poway in the standings early in the season, the team trailed the Titans with five minutes gone in the game. A penalty called on a Falcon player gave the Titans a direct free kick about 30 yards away from the goal. Goalkeeper Allison Shannon was able to get one hand on it, but could not stop the ball from passing through the posts. Although the girls tried desperately to score, the Titans thwarted every attempt. The Titans secured the league championship by defeating the Falcons, 1-O. lt was a disappointing game, recalled Coach Bryan Thompson, But we played as well as we could. Our defense was outstanding. Although the championship was lost, the team increased its rank from last year's third place in the Palomar League to second place this year next to Poway. Going into the CIF playoffs, the team was the fifth seeded team in the county. Senior midfielder Shannon Freeland led the team in scoring and was named 'lMVP while Ceci Vint and Tristan Sherrod were named Best Offensive and 'Best Defensive respec- tively. Lynne Defrancesca, Freeland, and Vint were each selected for the first team all- Palomar League. The junior varsity soccer team, led by Barb Simmons, secured a league record of 8-0-4 and overall record of 10-1-4, paving the way for a successful varsity season next year. - Lora Stowe 4.5, Panthers. 68 WOMENS SOCCER CONCENTBATING ON THE BALL, Senior standout Shannon Freeland dribbles closely to avoid being tackled by Vista opponent Rachelle Willis in a game against the ' ' ' ' f .

iV!kFE3VTN' 5 UUtH GOING UP for a -header, Kevin Russell and Jodi Lim leap to head the ball away from an Orange Glen oppo- nent in a home game. ied for third place with Vista, the boys' varsity soccer team achieved its major season goal - to make it to the playoffs in what Coach Glen Torrence considers the toughest league in the county. Unfortunately, the team was unable to achieve league championship status, the second of its goals for the year. We just ran into some better ball clubs. explained Torrence. Poway developed a very good ball club, and it was something we hadn't counted on. Nobody expected them to be as dominant toward the end ofthe season, but they became a very dominant team. Although the team did improve its record by two places in the league, Torrence felt that the squad 'slacked off' toward the end of the season. lt's the second year in a row that we tapered off. We didn't strengthen our- selves as we went through the year. We should have been a better ball club, but we just couldn't make it happen. An especially disappointing point of the season was when the team lost a heart breaker to Hilltop in the playoffs 2-1. We dominated the game in every way but the score. We were very capable of winning, but we just didn't get the ball into the net. We definitely played as well as we should have, said Torrence. Experience and age of the athletes were able to strengthen the team. Most of the players had a solid background in soccer and had played on the varsity level before. With these assets, Torrence had hopes that the team would have progressed even further than it did. There was a lack of consistency in ourteam play and our intensity, explained Torrence. There was also a lack of dedication to the sport, he added referring to the many athletes other interests, such as school, which may have taken away from the teams' intensity. I don't think it's bad. lt's just a fact, said Torrene. 'tWe've always been blessed with kids with a high grade point average. In soccer, the average grade on the team is from 3.0 - 3.25. Dedication to education as well as outside interests - that's something you accept at our high school. Team standouts included junior goal keeper Glen Baity, leading scorer Glen Butler, dominant midfielder Andy Saik, and fullback Kevin Russel. Saik was named Most Valuable Player and Russel was named Most Outstanding. The junior varsity soccer team had a very positive season earning a second place position in the Palomar League. We lost our last game to Poway. lt was kind of the deciding game of whether we would be in first or second place, explained defensive player Matt Nutley. The squad had standouts in John Pollock, who was a strong midfieldfoffense player, Erin Web who was named Most Valuable Offense, and Nutley who was Most Valuable Defense. - Lora Stowe lui I
