Sophs Toil Through Rugged Season After expecting to take first place in the PSL, the frosh-soph team was very disappointed this season. Despite good teamwork and height they just could not match their freshman record. lVlr. Hui- zenga, their coach of last year also, had high expectations for the season. The team started out well, compiling a 5-l record before injuries took their toll. The team won only four more games after that, while losing ten. They ended with a 9-ll overall record and a 7-7 record in the PSL. The team had some good chances to win more games, but just couldn't rise to the occasion. They lost three games in overtime, including their last holiday tournament game.
