122 M55 I SOCCC-DI' Multnomah's soccer team surprised the league, the school and themselves this year when they overcame a mid-season slump and went on to win the Pacific Northwest College Conference League championship. A season of sweat, pain and suffering boil- ed down to the last game for the Multnomah Ambassadors as they faced Northwest College in a do-or-die effort to claim first place. A large crowd of screaming spectators witnessed a rough, defensive battle that consumed half of the game and created a 0-0 deadlock at halftime. This style of play was broken only once-but once was enough-when, five minutes into the second half, MSB forward Jay Harms streaked past two Northwest fullbacks and bulleted the ball into the net. Harm's spurt of enthusiasm proved to be sufficient as MSB goalie Mike Paeth and his defensive gang shut out the quick Northwest team for a 1-0 victory. Multnomah Coach Dale Harada had just two things on his mind: We deserved it. And we needed a break. Al Dobra blocks an opponent. jolm Vredevelt tries to block opposing goalie. Carl Thompson The break referred to the history of Multnomah's soccer program. In its first two seasons of existence, this new branch of MSB athletics accumulated no wins. Besides losing a few season ticket buyers, the new program was quickly losing its in- itial zeal. The team decided on a small change of pace. Our third season we won the league championship, Harada said, but because of the previous two seasons, a lot of the players and a few fans thought it was just luck. This year we proved we could do it. At mid-season the team hardly seemed a candidate for the championship. With a dis- couraging record and a squad narrowed by injuries to twelve active players, the team's attitude slipped a bit, Harada said. Despite Portland's monsoon season the players kept coming out for practice and, according to Harada, It paid off. The team finished with a conference record of 5-1 and an over-all record of 9-5-1. Award winners, elected by the players, are Mike Paeth, Most Valuable Player, Dan Crane, Most Inspirational Player, and Ted McKenna, the Team Hustler ton the field-P by Don Henrikson Carl Thompson x. v LJ L r i .,.
