COACH W. FORLOW J UB ELL D0 Athletic Director William Forlow will be departing after six years of service to the Judson Community. He has filled many capacities as athletic director, softball and soccer coach, teacher and friend. Needless to say, he will be missed by many. Coach For1ow's accomplishments are numerous and outstanding. His .604 winning percentage with the soccer team is the highest in school history. He never had a losing season with the booters, as he led them to three district championships and three na- tional tournament appearances. As athletic director, the whole sports program has become competitive. This athletic excellence was highlighted in the 1982-83 school year as every sports squad finished with a winning record. The most consistent aspect of Professor Forlow is his dedication to our Lord. He stressed God's standards to all that he came in contact with. May the Lord bless the Forlow Family as they depart and may William Forlow's ever present smile stay with us. CAGERS PASS 1,000 POI MARK Jim Boscaljon Jan Zehr Fred Morris Three times this year Judson College basketball fans have stood to cheer as an Eagle team member passed the 1,000 point mark. Fred Morris and Jim Boscaljon, members of the men's team, and Jan Zehr of the women's squad, have all earned 1,000 points. Fred Morris, a 6'4 senior from Chicago, reached the 1,000 point Hallmark in just two seasons with the Eagles. Fred's strengths lie in his quickness and leaping ability, said coach Sam Harris. Jim Boscaljon, a 6'6 junior from Lake Zurich, Illinois, scored his 1,000 point with one year of eligibility left to play. Coach Harris credits him for his versatility and smooth shot. Harris moved him this year from center to forward. Jan Zehr, a 5'6 junior from Pontiac, Illinois, led a Womenis Eagle team that posted its best record ever. Coach Shemwell feels that .lan con- tributes many non-tangible things to the team, by helping the team stay motivated and competitive throughout a game. Jan's strong points are her passing, driving and outside shooting ability. Congratulations to three new members of the 1,000 point club. sPoRTs 1 29

28 1 SPORTS RECORD SCDRI C REER E DS i CAMPBELL NAMED ALL-AMERICAN To be named All-American is the greatest honor a college player can receive. This year, Senior Soccer Forward Ric Campbell of Miamisburg, Ohio, received that honor. Campbell was named First Team All-American by the National Christian College Association. In his four years of play, Campbell broke every individual scoring record and still holds seven of the nine records. They include most career goals 1881, most season goals 1271, most game goals 181, most career assists 1441 and the most points for career 12001, season 1681, and game 1171. He has been named to 24 all-area teams, as well as being the team's Most Valuable player his sophomore and junior seasons. Campbell felt that Coach Forlow was the one who really shaped his play. Forlow brought in solid players and was very persistent in building an excellent program. Coach Forlow is a winner, when I first met him, I knew I wanted to play for him. He is the Bobby Knight of Soccer, Campbell said. The honor of the All-American title had escaped Campbell before. He was named Honorable Mention the two previous seasons. I was very happy to be named first team, but in a way I'm kind of glad that soccer is over. I definitely won't miss the run- ning. I'm ready to relax and watch my friends play, but when the season begins next fall, I know I'll wish I was backf'

a - . ' 1 'l i MAH.. M112 Nh OFF TO NATIONALS AGAIN The 1983 soccer season was supposed to be a down year for the Judson booters. With Coach Forlow in his last season and no new recruits coming into the program, opponents were starting to lick their chops. Little did they know that this down year would end in a sixth place finish at the Na- tional Christian College Athletic Associa- tion national tournament. This was the Eagles third appearance at the national tournament in the last four years. The season began with two decisive wins and then a trip to Ohio to participate in the Cedarville College Soccer Tournament. The team finished in second place by beating host Cedarville College in the opening round and losing to Bartelsville Wesleyen College in the Championship game. The Eagles returned home and won six of their next seven games. During this time, they outscored their opponents 35-7 in total goals. The highlight was a 19-0 drubbing of Carthage College, when several team and individual scoring records were broken. The homecoming game against Aurora was next with more than just pride at stake. The victor would lay claim to the Northern Illinois Inter- collegiate Conference championship. The Judson booters lost an exciting double overtime game 2-1. This loss appeared to lead to several others as the Eagles lost three of their remaining five games and ended the regular season with a record of 10-6-1. As the number two seed, Judson started off slowly in NCCAA district play by barely beating Trinity College in a 2-1 shootout overtime game. They then came alive and crushed Northwestern College 6-2 to win the District 20 soccer title and another trip to the national finals. The so 1 sPoRTs f soccER Eagles won one of their three games in tournament play which gave them a sixth place finish and an overall record of 13-8-1 for the season. With Coach Forlow and five graduating seniors leav- ing the program, the remaining Eagles have their work cut out for them. But they will be led by five experienced starters, who will have definite plans to be in the National Tournament . . . AGAIN. 1 CCER 1 . l si, ti 4 1 lt...t....... ne- '- X .
