SPARTAN KICKERS DISPLAY SKILL AND DESIRE Soccer is rapidly becoming one of the nation’s favorite pastimes, indicated by the large crowds which attend Richfield’s soccer matches. For the team, this season was a frustrating one in which a tough battle was waged against their Lake Conference foes. The team felt they would have a strong season and banked on the play-offs since early in the season. They showed steady improvement, hut closed out by being eliminated in their first sectional soccer game, and finished with a 8-10-1 record. The problem centered in the conference games, where head coach Rudi Martig-nacco felt the players were very excited and nervous and thus did not play up to their scoring potential. But through it all, the Spartans kept a high morale, and many individuals had an outstanding season. Dan Seeler became the Spartan’s leading scorer, while junior goalie Steve Pansch, and varsity captain, Dominic Truniger, greatly helped the team along. The prospects for next year look good with potential shown by many of the sophomores and the improved skills of the returning juniors.
