Twice league champs The sophomore soccer Stars’ season opener, September 3, went down in the scorebooks as a 2-I loss to Aquinas, but rather than dampening the team’s spirit, the defeat brought the team eye-to-eye with reality. According to McFarland, coach, the game was “a good opener be- cause it showed us where we had to go and what we had to do”. Keeping this in mind, the team played through a tough schedule and came out on top. On October 2I, the sophomores played against McCluer to decide the Suburban North winner. With ease, the Stars felled the Comets 3-0 in front of a home crowd, and the North Stars were named to share the Suburban North Title with Hazelwood Central. “The defense was excellent and we dominated the entire game,” said Jim Rapp, fullback. a “The team has had some really tough competition this year and | think we have played well against it.” — — Jim Reichmuth Another highlight of the season was a tough match against CBC. “Winning Sub- urban North gave the team a lot of confi- dence, and that was indicative of the CBC victory,” said coach McFarland. The MN Stars, in the cold of late October, scored three unanswered tallies from Chris Steevens, Wes Hampp, and Bob Sig- norello. Jim Reichmuth was credited with the shutout in goal. Taking a penalty kick, Bob Signarello, sophomore, learns the value of tying double knots in his shoes. Keeping the ball from Granite City North, Chris Stevens, sophomore, maneuvers around the oppo- nent. After losing control of the ball, John Hanslick, sopho- more, challenges the opposing player to regain possession of the ball. Sophomore Soccer I7I
