SOCCER The 1969 soccer season marked the second consecutive year in which the Chiefs estab- lished themselves as soccer powers not only in New England, but on a national scope. Led by Co-captains Tony DiCicco and Paul LeSuer and under the direction of Coach Irv Schmid the Chiefs opened their season at home against Bowdoin. The Schmidmen dis- played an awesome offense as Tom Herget scored twice and Paul LeSuer, Ralph Arguin, Ron Smith and Peter Montalbano each had one. The final score was 6-1. The second game in Hanover, N.H. against a tough Dartmouth team was as discouraging as the Bowdoin game was encouraging when the Chiefs lost their first game 2-0 after sixteen wins without losing. After the loss to Dartmouth the trip to Southern Connecticut State College was a must win; again the Chiefs were not playing in their best form and had to settle with a 1 -1 tie as Bill Bonavita scored the Springfield goal. Coming back home after a bad week away was an incentive for the Chiefs as they beat a much improved Middlebury team 2-1. Juhan Laurits was the offensive star as he scored twice. The defense led again by Frank LeSuer and Jim Quigley.

The Chiefs finally regained their form, which they were to keep through the remain- der of the season, against a determined Colby College. Paul LeSueur broke through for three big goals, Bill Bonavita scored a lone goal, and Tony DiCicco registered his initial shut out as Springfield won 40. Alden Shattuck, Bob McCullough, Tommy Herget, Peter Montal- bano, Bill Bonavita, Ralph Arguin played outstanding offensive ball while Alex Schmid, Craig Lefevre, Frank LeSueur, Jim Quigley, and Mike Drake handled the defensive chores. The following game, traditionally a big one for Springfield was against second ranked in New England, Brown University. The Chiefs simply left no doubt to who was the better team. Led by seniors Paul LeSueur, Bob McCullough, and Juhan Laurits each scoring an important goal, and by Jim Quigley, Frank LeSueur, Alex Schmid, Alden Shattuck, Craig LeFevre, Mike Drake, and goalkeeper Tony DiCicco on defense, Springfield left the field with a 3-0 triumph. Unfortunately, the great victory was overshadowed by a key injury to Bob McCullough who was a decisive factor in the Chiefs improved play. Bob's broken leg haunted the Chiefs throughout the remainder of the season as Springfield was having trouble scoring goals.
