We just came to play the game The soccer team again completed an- other winning season. Coach Dr. Mo- hammed Sabie and team captain Tony Ferris were extremely proud of the 10-9 and 1 tie game record. Coach Sabie said, uOur successes have been built upon the talent, dedica- tion and experience of the players who have attended the University? Our University was the first one in Kentucky to have a soccer team on the varsity level. During the past 23 years that soccer has been a varsity sport, the University team has had 1 9 winning sea- sons, including five state champi- onships. iiThe students are more enthusiastic. They have the desire to learn and donlt want to quit. They have a great love for the game? said Sabie. The team played Transylvania Univer- sity, Lexington, in September and had approximately 800 spectators to fill Jayne Stadium. This was the first game they were allowed to play on the new Dr. Mohammad Sabie, menis soccer coach, has led the team through 19 winning seasons. Sabie teen- terl, was very proud of the 10-9 record.

This sort of thing makes our team look good in the eyes of the visiting teamf, said Sabie. The team was defeated by the Univer- sity of Kentucky, Lexington, by two in the beginning of the season but came back to beat UK by two at the seasons end. The team also blew away Eastern Kentucky State University, Richmond, 7-0 early in the season. Brian Peters goaltended the shut-out Victory as the Eagles earned seven goals from seven different players, Brian Paulick, Do- minique Ah Chong, Greg Conley, Tony Ferris, Monroe Clemons, Mike MacE- loche and Keith Jackson each scored one goal. EKU and Tennessee Tech., Cookeville, were each defeated twice by the Eagles. itThe next two years should be really strong because we have a young teamfi said Greg Conley, a junior from Cincin- nati, OH. Dale Mahaney, a Morehead senior, will be the only team member leaving the team. The twins, Matt and Mark Mullins, ju- niors from Oxford, OH will return next year and are expected to again be big contributors to the team. Conley agreed with Sabie by saying, The other teams are also getting tougher every yearf, iiAbout 200 recruitment letters were sent out last year to encourage new members to join the teamfi said Conley. Again, despite the fact that the soccer budget is small and no scholarships are available, the upcoming fall season still looks full of hope. Scott Bolser, a freshman, said, We donit get scholarships or our rooms paid for, we just come here to play the game out of the desire? . eBy: Tina Hamm Ments Soccer 107
