JV ' S Capture 2nd Place Hard working was the only way to describe the JV soccer team. The many grueling practices improved both the teams ' spirit and their play. The practice mainly consisted of shooting, passing and fitness drills. Scrimmages against the varsity also highlighted their preparation for the season. Team spirit was also built up by the practices. This was shown when players showed up for practice during Christmas vacation even though they didn ' t have to. We practiced like we played so everyone had fun, said Mario Mendoza. This dedication helped prepare the team for the games. The new skills they learned were soon put to use. The JV ' s opened the season with a win over Corona and went on to finish the pre- season with four wins and three losses. Beating Arlington for their first Ivy League victory was a big help to the Huskies. In the Arlington game, we were behind 3-1 with 20 minutes left and we came back to win the game 4-3. It really boosted our confidence, said Roger Stay. The team ended the season with 13 points and second place in the Ivy League. Passing to teammate, Jerry Lovatt heads the ball back into Arlington ' s end of the field. North went on to tie Arlington 1-1.
