n field hockey, dead-sticking is when the ball is brought to a dead stop and controlled before passing off or shooting. Given their bumpy field, the girls had to work especially hard on this aspect of the game. Hard work really paid off for them this year as they not only overcame the disadvantage of the playing field, but were also able to maintain the position of number one team in the Palomar League, an honor never before attained by any of the school's previous hockey teams. The main force behind the team's climb to success was twenty-one year hockey veteran and varsity coach, Ellie Minor. She started from scratch, coach- ing a group of girls who had limited ex- perience, skill, and understanding of the game, and through hard work, encouragement, and determination, tumed them into a winning team. Overall, the team's strength was in its quickness. This has been the fastest team I have ever coached, said Minor. The highest scorer on the team was three year player Sara Olsen. Other players on the forward line who performed well were returninrg varsity players Lora Stowe, Jaime Ha er, and Cassie Doerfling, along with Karen Bjonorowski, Morgan McGrath, Laura Miller, Vanessa Mongeon, and Pam Paymard, who were newcomers to the varsity team. The defense was extremely strong. Outstanding defenders were junior goalie Jamie Ramirez, and seniors, athy Sullivan and Amy Sanford. Also to be commended for aggressive and effective play are Melissa Lindley, Jyoti Aeya, Kristina Kueltzo. and Melissa Evans. Although the winning Jnerformances of the varsity team prove to be a tough act to follow, the junior varsity squad showed tremendous effort and im- provement. Coached by Debbie Weyandt, the team consisting largely of brand new hocke1y players picked up several victories. hey are picking the grams up quickly, said Weyandt. t here is improvement with every game because we have a great deal of enthusiasm on the team. The girls are always working hard, and they ask a lot of questions. hey're eager to team. One of the main things the girls needed to work on was more aggressive play, according to Weyandt, but overall they had a successful season. - Lora Stowe v'., EVV TYLE NDS N IRST EAGUE HAIVIP . lp A 1.

M AI f A Q. f' I , -1 ti READY FOR THE BALL. Lu Meier anticipates the ball, as she prepares to pass to herteammates ln the game against Sa n Dleguito. ADY ALCONS TILL IVIONG or a team that was into its third coach in three years, the Volleball program remained remarkably solid. The girls may not have had an over abundance of ex- perience and talent, but they were definitely one of the teams to beat in San Diego County. Jim Harrah was the new man atthe head coaching post. He replaced Dane Selznick, who lasted for most of the 1984 season. Harrah inherited a team that finished second in the county last year. Gone were four key players: Trish Attix, Laure Martin, Jenna Stern, and Lorraine Charmin, but two starters were back, and junior varsity coach Dan Lyman continues to produce talent year after year. Some retumlng artillery were seniors, Jaime Wheat and Michelle Gardner. Wheat is a powerful hitter and improving passer, while Gardner is a superb passer and emerging hitter. Michelle has really improved her hitting, and she has eamed a front row post, said Harrah. Jaime has become a good passer, and we need her to play all-around. Another player who made great gains in the summer was senior Sherry Flick. who had a limited role on varsity last year. Harrah employed two setters in a 6-2 alignment. WE? 'Y'E'5'..?',. . HE EST Seniors E.O. Harper and junior Carrie Buell split the duties. Among the front row starters were seniors Jody Hinchey and Lu Meier, both of whom played on varsity last year. New players to the varsity team were juniors Erica Price, Leigh Ann Wedbush, Christine Goodjohn, and Stephanie Robertson. The lone sophomore on the team was Lisa Hampson. . The depth ofthe team impressed Harrah, who felt that the drop-off from the first stringers to the second was slight. epth was a positive factor on the junior varsity team also. Under the direction of Coach Dan Lyman and through the spirit and talent of such players as Ginny Walters, Collen McMillan, Heather Hasselman, Carrie Bonforte, Tristan Sherrod, and the other members of the team, the girls were able to complete their seaon undefeated. put- ting them ln first place in their league. We had a very successful season, said Lyman. - Lora Stowe 60 WOMENS VOLLEYBALL
