Soccer team makes good showing in PVL The soccer team’s move to the Pioneer Valley league from the Inter-School league significantly affected its record. The 5-5-7 tally was the best first year record of all city teams. Cathedral’s soccer squad was the only competitor to beat Ludlow and the only city team to make the play-offs for WMass. All this was accomplished despite the fact that twelve players were lost to graduation. Individual technique did not develop to the degree desired, and leads that should have been maintained, weren't. However, co-captains Paul Brennan and Jim Hebert made the all-league team. Frank Canning also played well and displayed improved abilities over last season. Two goalkeepers, Mark Teehan and Dave Walczak, were also noted for doing well on their first year of varsity. Coach Lee Kenworthy called this year a learning experience and described the last game of the season as being extremely gratifying. This contest was the annual alumni-varsity game which ended in a 3-3 tie. This match gave fans a chance to see many former and present college and all-American soccer stars in action. 70
