The field hockey team sweated out practices, working as hard as possible to make up for the team's lack of experience. They met every day after school to rehearse dribbling, passing, and defensive moves. Practices were usually two hours longg and, in addition, the team had special demonstra- tions when area high schools came to visit. Statistics aside, members felt that the season was good even if their scores were not. KNEELING: Terry Corney SECOND ROW: Roxanne Tigh, Dale Paquette THIRD ROW: Gail Hammond, Sue Haney, Laurie Tink- ham, Karen Mahoney, Linda Paquette to win, but because they worked to- gether. Hockey is not a one person sport. Besides yourself, you have 10 other players out there on that field and you learn to use them. Unfortunately, their unity on the field couldn't make up for their lack of experience. Their initial defeat of Delhi with a 2-1 score was soon lost in the rubble of a devestating season. The next eight games the Spartans lost, closing with an overall record of 1-8. After all the time and effort each player had contributed, it would seem as though morale would be low and team spirit a thing of the past. Accord- ing to Coach Case, however, the girls accepted their losses with dignity and had the determination to try again. Sometimes it is really difficult to keep a team going if they aren't win- ning all the time. These individuals just kept working as a team, for themselves and for me. I always felt that no mat- ter how the outcome of the games were, my team would always be there next time to try and accomplish a win. Despite the fact that they took large losses in the '77 season, Coach Case says that the team was a good one. Their hussle, determination, and willingness to work were all key factors in her evaluation. She feels that there is more to a season than statistics, say- ing, If you look at our season's rec- ord, it doesn't show much. As a team we lost a lot of games scorewise, but never spiritwise. The players never quit on me throughout the season or in any one particular game. If they were down, they always kept trying to come back. Even if they were up they never stopped pushing. Thatis why I don't feel you can always look at ai team's record to determine whether they are a good or bad team. Then There Were 1 , :nd T ey Were the Creates Field Hockey S5
