occer After having a couple players come back from injuries beginning the 2007 season, the OSU men's soccer players proved to be a very deep, well orchestrated team. In the past few years the league had suffered personal losses and was beginning their rebound back showing strength and a great coordination with eachother. Although the team had its standout players, the coaches and players themselves weren't out to focus on that. “No one individual is above the team; it’s all about the team, ' said Head Coach Dana Taylor. This great team easily became a great group of friends and were very tight knit. The soccer program also focused on its five C's; Culture. Competition. Character. Community, and Classroom. The team did a community service effort every year and was a part of the Adopt-A-Beaver program. In the program they assisted soccer coaches and had a huge effect on the youth involved. The team was also very proud of maintaining their high GPA's. Beaver players often posted GPA's of 3.0 and higher and the Beavs had more academic honorees in 2006 than any other Pac-10 team. | Story by Melissa Cady r (Right) Ball handling, senior Alex Christensen grabs the ball, ready to throw it back in the game after an out-of-bounds kick. | Photo V courtesy of Sports Information (Below) Keeping it together, junior Josh Cameron and senior Nick Webb work together to fend off the other team’s attempts to steal the ball. | Photo courtesy of Sports Information (Left) Stealing, senior Nick Webb makes a run for it down the field trying to avoid the competition. | Photo courtesy of Sports Information (Above) Safe, junior goalkeeper Packy Deeniham jumps to catch the ball from going in the net. | Photo courtesy of Sports Information
