Duffy, born in Cleveland, Ohio, has lived soccer. Aside from college play, he played for a semi-pro German team in Cleveland but never obtained his pro- fessional status, The new coach arrived in Evansville to become an assistant soccer coach at I.S.U.E. under Andrew Burns. Almost im- mediately, he heard the Mater Dei club was comprised of good athletes but needed help. He decided to apply for the job. The results of such hard work and team effort paid off — the 1981 Soccats was the first team in Mater Dei ' s history to double its win record in one season. Duffy also started and coached a feeder league for both the North and West sides — a neccessity if the rest of the city wanted to give the East side a run for the money. (East side is the home of three-year defending state cham- pion Memorial High School.) According to two-year-starter Rob Zigenfus, Duffy was a good coach be- cause he works well with us; other coaches don ' t do the exercises with you. Also, he would help us if we had prob- lems in school. — Felicia Smith GET READY: Jeff Mischler. sophomore, puts forth all his energy to return the ball into the playina area.
