Soccer As soccer's third year rolled around, a new coach, Brian Schweikert, took Eisen- hower's helm. Mr. Schwei- kert had a good basis upon which to build, he had I4 up- perclassmen, six of whom were seniors. After a slow start, Eisenhower regained a non-stop forward momen- tum. lt just took a short time for the team to trust each other and work together. Ev- eryone came closer together during the strike, despite the delay, the team worked out in anticipation. To have a successful sea- son the team had to feel comfortable with the others on the team. The team seemed to have a backbone from which the team could relate. The backbone con- sisted of Abby Sagakhaneh, who received big I2 honor- able mention, and Steve Merli, who was named to the big I2 team. With all the hard work and shattered dreams during the strike, the team stayed bond- ed as a unit and strived to- wards better things. They fin- ished their season with a re- cord of 5-4 with I tie.

This year's record was 7- 5. It was an exciting, action- packed year onthe volleyball court. llThis was one of the most experienced group of players we've had, remarked Coach Anthony. Practices went smoothly, due to the discipline of the more exper- ienced players. Coach Anthony foresees next year's season to be a fantastic one. The players will be coming back strong, forming an even stronger team next year. Thanks, Junior Varsity Vol- leyball, for a wonderful sea- son! Junior Varsity Volleyball 65
