The Tigers hoped to be playing on the new field and dugouts in the beginning of the season, but bad wea- ther stalled the completion of the new facilities. Along with the new field and new relaxed attitude of the team, fans also saw the addition of several bat girls on the Tiger sidelines. Frank Fulton enlisted he help ofmore than a dozen young ladies who attended all Tiger home games providing encour- agement for the team. There were several promotional days scheduled for Tiger home dates. Among these were Brinkley Day where the student who best typified Professor John Brink- leyis attitude and attire at the game was the winner.

'S l 1' W- Dptimism Rides High ln their second year under Coach Ray Rostan, the Hampden-Sydney lac- rosse team looked to improve on 1985's 6-6 record and to make a bid for a spot in the NCAA Division lll playoffs. Playing a schedule that fea- tured arch-rivals Roanoke, Guilford and Lynchburg, as well as powers Duke and Middleburg, the Tigers' main task was to come together as a team, Helping Rostan with his part of this task was new coach Rick Young, former All-American defenseman at Cortland State. The captains for l986 were Darren Burns, Mark F ader, and Jeff Jackson. Many returning players and several freshmen emerged as key players for Hampden-Sydney. Last year's co-MVP's Jeff Jackson and Chris Wil- kinson were again the talented pilots of the offense and defense. Goalie Wilkinson was surrounded by a more mature close defense anchored by Dean Cheatham, Brett Bennett, and Charlie Echols. Right behind them were Keith Hope, Rich Wilt, Darryl Knight, and freshman Bo Coyner. Joining Jackson at Midfield were Seniors Wil lVlcNeely and Darren Burns, juniors Dan Dou- gherty and Chris lVlcCamy, and fresh- man standouts Truman Thompson, Jack Barber, and Billy Lyles. The attack in the Tigeris ball-movement offense was led by Mark Fader and saw the rise of freshmen Brad Johnson, Tom Whitely, Tripp Cough, and Jeff Lawson. The Tigers began their season in February against Division I contender Duke, despite opening up a 3-0 lead, Hampden-Sydney let the Blue Devils back in the game as a driving snow- storm covered the field in white. Duke eventually won the game 10-5. Then the tigers took their Spring Break trip Scooping up the balL senior Darren Burns gives it his all bi a close game with Randogzlz-Macon.
