68 . . .Soccer Soccer Marquette soccer s u f f e r e d through what first-year coach, Joe Born termed, a frustrating sea- sonf' Inexperience dealt the decisive blow in many of the team's losses. It is disappointing anytime you have the upper hand for most of the game and the final score doesnit show it, said Born. The Warriors were often the more talented team on the field and still lost. The rea- son? Inexperience. The year's frustration was typi- fied by their contest with UW- Platteville. Marquette controlled the tempo throughout the game but fell short in the waning minutes 2-1. The reason? Inexperience. Three of four forward positions were occupied by first year men, which exemplifies the plaguing in- experience. Born said, We just didn't know how to take advantage of our opportunities. When play- ers are sophomores, juniors or sen- iors they don't make costly mis- takes. +3 x It was a season of rugged defense coupled with ragged offense. The offense with plenty of opportuni- ties failed to score. The defense, however, often kept the team with- in striking distance. Anchored by seniors jon Fehrenbach and john Nelson, the defense was in Born's words, the key to this year's team. It is disappointing anytime you have a losing season, said Born. The hooters finished the year with a record of 4-6.
