Soccer squad gets first winning year By achieving an overall record of 7-4-2, the Northwest soccer team earned its first winning season in four years. With a City League record of 2-2-2, the team placed fourth in the City. In the Titan Classic Tournament, Northwest defeated Valley Center 3-2 and East 3-1, but lost to Heights 5-2 and, as a result, received fifth place. Besides games against other City teams, the Grizzlies played games with Valley Center and Derby. Northwest defeated Valley Center both times 4-2 and 1-0. Against Derby, the team lost the first match 2-0, but one week later reversed the score and won 2-0. The win against Derby was the first and only time the Panthers have been defeated by a Nor- thwest team and the only loss sustained by Derby, no other City team was able to beat the Panthers. Coach Bobby Bribiesca attributed the strengths of the team to the seniors who provided experience. Many of the seniors had been with the team for the past four years and wanted to end the season with a winning record. Northwest scored 26 goals against its opponents who scored only 22. Goalkeeper Troy Rochat had a 1.7 goals against average, and of the 26 points scored by Northwest, 13 were scored by Dung Doan, member of the All-City First Team. Senior Captain Ricky Suarez and junior Brian Stevens were named to the All-City Second Team. 1'-Y After shoulder charging an opponent from West junior Dale Shawe proceeds across the field. 80 0 Soccer
