EAMWORK IS THE KEY that helps the Cougars achieve a sense of self- pride and confidence which drives them through a successful season ending in a TOC victory We are overcome with joy, rr expressed Coach Gary Summerhays after the Cougars successfully de- fended their Sac Ioaquin Section Soccer title. The team responded-to a pre- season itl ranking by de- feating Christian Bro- thers in a difficult cham- pionship game. After only losing one game in regular season and compiling an impres- sive overall record of 19- 1-1, the team defeated such area soccer powers as Lodi, El Camino, num- ber two ranked Kennedy, and boastful Christian Brothers in one of the most exciting and lengthy TOC Champion- ship games. The invincible soccer powers of players were acquired through the teachings of Coach Gary Summerhays. Summer- hays taught his team soccer coordination, gave them the determination to win, and most impor- In the embrace of victory, fans congratulate their champion Varsity Soccer team after the defeat of Kennedy.

The team's philosophy was based on long hours of practicing, condition- ing and overcoming past mistakes. After losing to their rivals, the BV Bron- cos, early in the season the team developed a higher morale. We played well, but not well enough, said Scott Pieri of the loss. However, DC ended the Capital Ath- letic League with a tie for first place to the Broncos. Successfully defeating Lodi and El Camino in the TOC, the team was faced with the challenge of overcoming number two ranked Kennedy. Both teams felt the pres- sure of a loss, which would result in an elim- ination from the TOC. The game came to a close and both teams were tied 2-2. Davin Cox, Ron Pieri, Derek Dykstra and Donny Triplat suc- cessfully scored four penalty kicks to bring the teams to a new score of 4- 4. Then, Kennedy's fifth kicker missed and Russ Gilwee, DC's fifth kicker, scored the winning goal and brought the team to a victory. During the champion- ship game, the emotions of the spectators were tested. The teams played for 80 minutes of reg- ulation time and two ten- minute overtimes and ended the game in a O-O tie. As twilight came to Consurrmes River Col- lege, DC and Christian Brothers were forced in- to a shootout to decide the Section title. The Cougars' deter- mination led to a 4-2 vic- tory with four straight penalty kicks taken by Davin Cox, Ron Pieri, Iohn Carnaroli and Don- ny Triplat. There couldn't be anything bet- ter, said Tim Coffman as fans invaded the play- ing field to reward the champion soccer players. We proved were the best through teamwork, said Captain Mike Mor- ris in the moment of triumph. Dribbling with ease, Tommy McGuire moves down the field against Roseville. 49 rs- .. 185 ft- tt! ixwwfz my
