The team, which smashed the league, earned a terrific 'l CJ-CJ rec- Ord. Their success did not come easily though, many hours of hard practice went into the teams tri- umph. The toughest team we played all season was Turlock, stated Dave Dugo. a freshman member of the team. Coach Edwards Knew from the start that the team would do well. This year's ..l.V. team has talent, he said. Sophomores IVlatt Benak and Flon Stewart, and Freshmen Dave Cugo and John Benak paced the seasons action with a total of 'l 4 goals. The team was composed of 'I 6 members, E sophomores and 'l C freshmen. W 1. Matt Emerzian on offense against Merced: E. Coach Ken Edwards and the team go off to talk about the Qameg 13.

The Wetter The Better! Neither pouring rain nor freezing cold could stop this dedicated team from victory. They started as a young team that wasn't ex- pected to do well at all and became one of the best teams in the league: End in C.C.C. and one game away from 'l st. This was student-teacher Terri l-lollmann's first year coaching at Beyer. We had a great season, she commented. I had all the confi- dence in the world that these girls could play together and be one of the top teams in the league. With only three seniors leaving, next year we should be as strong as ever. Beyer's league record this year was B wins and 2 losses, with the 2 losses going to Turlock l-ligh, a team with A-B straight wins. Turlock was expected to slaughter Beyer. ln- stead, in their last game, they won by only one point, and that was scored with less than a minute and a half left to play. Davis l-ligh, Beyer's other nemesis, lost 7-C3 in their final match, which was played during the first vio- lent storm of the winter. We wanted that game so badly that nothing else mattered . . . not even the cold! said Kescia lVleier, a fresh- man on the team. Not only did Beyer take End place in the league, they also took 'l st place at the lVlo- desto City Tournament. which hosted teams from as far away as Berkeley and Reno. Beyer entered both an A and a B team in this tour- nament. The A team, which went undefeated, took home the championship. Beyer was definitely a fourth quarter team. In almost every game they played, they were either tied or just barely ahead until the fourth quarter began. They would then explode with power and leave the other team wondering what had happened. There was always plenty of suspense and action. With girls tugging at one another's suits and pulling each other un- der water, this so-called non-contact sport was just as exciting to watch as it was to play. Congratulations go to lvlost Valuable Player - Leigh Shupp, lvlost Dedicated - Kerrie Louis, and lVlost Improved - Kathy Aboularage and Jennifer Pharis. Special con- gratulations go to Kathy Doman, Leigh Shupp, and Becky Waddle, who were chosen as first-team all-league members. This year's team was definitely a winner in every way! EQ' 1.
