But I think, in the end, playing fair payed off be- cause when we won a game, we knew that we won because we played well, not because we broke the rules. In a game against Chesire Academy, Colleen Groom puts her best foot forward.

PM MM If you happened to notice that dur- ing the past year many of your fellow students were wearing Ace ban- dages and complaining about bruises, the news that Sacred Heart Academy had formed a soccer tream came as no surprise. Soccer presented students with an opportunity to demonstrate their sports abilities and discover new ath- letic talents. As a new team, they had to work harder for succcess than more established teams. Because consruction of the new soccer field was not completed, practices were held at Dunbar Hill School. Many girls had little or no exper- ience. Wtih the expert coaching of new faculty member Mr. Carl Sier- acki, each one developed special skills in the techniques of the game. Girls also learned to deal with the injuries that inevitably occurred. W9 Senior Dee Reznik enthusiastically confirmed this. For the entire sea- son, only three of our girls remained uninjured - fortunately, I was one of them! Most importantly the team learned the need for cooperation among themselves. A group of peo- ple who had never worked together before, joined to form a close unit that strove for their goal of success. Three seniors shared the respon- siblity of leadership as tri-captains: Meg Kiely, Suzanne Riley and Beth Lee. Their spirit held the team to- gether and the encouragement and support they offered pushed the team on to a successful season. Meg felt a sense of pride in the great pro- gress made since September. For a first year team, we came a long way in a very short time. The team was awesomel Il II I ,N ..
