Even though the team had the new recruits, the season still had it's faults. Starting the season with three losses really had had the girls in a slump. They did, however, come back in their fourth match and win over Beddingfield, 6 to 3. For the next four matches, the Lady Left: Sheri Lane, a more aggressive player, led her team to victory , against her Beddingfield opponent. Sheri, who is seeded no. 1, is under a lot of pressure on the court. Below: Brigid Stevens, seeded no. 3, is unique in that she plays a totally different game from that of other players. Her rnain Shelly Eagles fought hard, but could not score a victory against the hard driving larger schools. When all seemed lost, the Lady Eagles scored a smashing victory once again over Beddingfield, 7 to 2. They finished the season with a 2 to 8 record. strategy is simply consistency and finesse.

While only in its third year of existence at Northeastern it was apparent that to some it had become a family tradition. This was the case with the Fellowses, the Griffins, and the Morhards. 30 SPOITS-Cross Country Wendy and David Fellows, whose sister Carolyn was last year's co- captain, ran with as much skill as did big sister. Wendy, a Junior, managed to capture a fifth place and All- Conference title in the Division l-4A meet at Beddingfield. Both Pam and Keith Morhard joined the Cross Country team in 1979, and returned in 1980. They monopolized the season by distinguishing themselves as the number one male and female members on the Eagle team after the first meet with Hunt. Pam broke the tape and gained a first place finish in the Division meet at Beddingfield and an All-Conference title. Keith, along with fellow teammates Todd Williams, David Fellows, and Richard Griffin, finished sixth among the male teams at the Division meet. The Griffins, Richard and Cecile, managed to find time for the demanding sport despite their involvement in l i l i
