When practice began in the Foil, it looked os though the kickers hod the best chance to bring the Midwest soccer championship to Ripon, especially with the help of 1982 all-conference returners Do Sa- frahg. Kwafla Drowne and Dove Chlosta. However, it was not to be os the Redmen limped their woy to a 5- 5-1 record and only one of those wins came in conference play. All the gomes were close and could have gone either way. but un- fortunately the goals were more of- ten than not for the other team. There were a number of bright spots this year . . junior Ken Carlson's im- provement over the post yeor gained him the most improved play- er oward. His performance was out- standing in wins over St. Norbert and Marian. Drowne and Sofrong played well all season and looked very good in wins over Madison and Plar- teville. Dorh men's ploy gained them all-conference honors for the second yeor. Drowne, playing his lost season for the Redmen. was awarded the most valuable trophy. Jeff Messen- ger and Gary Page also finished fine careers for the Redmen In 1983. With the 1983 seoson behind them, the Redmen look to the future-the 1984 seoson. With such talent os Joe Cul- len. Jim Garden. Rob Needham. Mike Richter and Ken Carlson return- ing In the Fall, if looks os though Dove Scott, head coach, and the team will hove an outstanding 1984 season.

Late Season Slump Keeps Redmen Away From Title In MC Oelow Chris Adorns drives toward the bucket os his high school cooch. Mike Heidemorv now of St. Norbett. wotches his style: Cente Lee Zotnott goes up fot two ogoinst Knox: Owen Glodowski jumps high against the Knights: OpfXXfe Poge Joy Erdmon scores on a jumper. Surprising would be the word to describe the 1960-64 Redmen Cogers. After coming off the lost scoson mork of 6 wins and 16 losses the Redmen were nor expected to challenge fot the MC title However, nobody could hove forseen the tremen- dous Improvement of lost year’s freshmen. Only a lore season slump cost the Redmen the title and an Invlrotion to the NCAA tourney. When the seoson began. Cooch Gllllsple wos hoping for just a winning record, but os the seoson went on It begon to appeor thot his teom would be more rhon on olso-ran. Two quick rood victo- ries over Viterbo ond Ploitevllle brought the Red- men homo for whot wos to be the first of many tests to see how good the teom reolly wos. With junior Chuck Soule scoring 19 points ogoinst UW-O to leod the way. Rlpon took control in the second holf ond never looked bock. The Redmen were led oil seoson by sophomore Tom Reader, whose Improvement from freshmen year propelled him to be the leodlng scorer on the teom. Some of the highlights of Reoder’s sooson were his three Redmen of the Week awords. the foci thot he wos the leading scorer ogoinst NCAA tourney bound St. Notbert twice, ond performing In front of o hometown crowd In Appleton ogoinst Lawrence, he led the teom with 22 points. Cooch Gllllsple colled Reader one of the three best ploy- ers In the conference. He will be around for whot will be another two fine seasons. Joy Erdmon. the second leodlng scorer on the teom. did not foil to the sophomore jinx after o fine freshmen year. Also the second leodlng rebounder on the reom. Erdmon was the leodlng force In wins ogalnst Lawrence ond Monmounth. against whom he scored 27 points. Pot Thorp ond Chris Adorns mode up o fine point guord tondem thot should continue to provide strong leadership In the future. Also returning next yeor will be junlots Soule ond Chris Jensen. Eoch provided strong leadership with Soule being the team's leodlng rebounder. Jen. sen wos lost to the teom mldwoy through the yeor with on Injury. The loss of Jensen portlolly occounred for the lore season slump. The teom will lose senior Owen Glodowskl, whose oil oround ploy ond leodershlp will be missed. It Is hoped that freshmen Lee Zornott will be able lo take up the slock. He showed he wos capable In o loro seoson victory over Lowrence. when he scored 12 points In o gome that wos decided In o lost second shot by Reoder. With oil but one ployer returning next yeor. the Redmen should be strong eorly-seoson fovorites to win the conference. 26 Sports
