At the start of the season, the girls overpow- ed several ranked teams, including a twenty mint defeat over Ramona. Despite the team's impressive start, it had a sappointing end to a very promising season. te girls were 10-9 and in possible playoff con- ntion until starting point Carrie Bonforte pulled laments in her ankle late in the game against an Dieguito. With Bonforte on the bench, the team lost at allbrook 55-44, and at Poway four days later 3-461. Against Poway, the girls were outscored 13-5 the first quarter and were never able to catch J. The team was led offensively by Sherri Strate td Julie Coppens, both of whom had seven mints. The team also had a poor first quarter against away, falling behind 10-4. However, they rallied trail by just four, Q37-331, at the end of the third iarter. But the girls ran out of gas in the fourth iarter and fell 19-11. Warburton said, The absence of Bonforte wmpletely changed the team's style of play.

The kids were just real flat. In most of the games that the team won, they were ahead early and then went on a roll, accord- ing to Warburton. But falling behind in the last two games shook the team's confidence. Despite the way the season ended, Warburton considers it a success, especially considering the squad won just one game last season. We've beaten three teams that are in first place in other leagues, Warburton claimed. lt just tells you that our league is really strong. When I look back on the year we beat some really tough teams. We never lost a game that we shouldn't have except for Poway. The junior varsity team, although inexperienced, was able to improve individually and collec- tively as the season progressed. Led by team standout Kristin Peterson, the girls earned two league victories over rival San Dieguito which highlighted their efforts. Sophomores Peterson, and Suzi Biszantz and freshman Gina Westby, Jeni Vance, and Heidi Brownson formed the nucleus of a group of highly competitive ladies, said Coach Stan Riches. - Lora Stowe FLYING, senior Sherri Strate shoots for the net in a league game against Orange Glen.

H MPIONSHIP DREAMS GO f'JEifE'-EH hrough the last half of the season, the Torrey Pines girls soccer team had engaged in a valiant pursuit ofthe Palomar League lead held by Poway sincethe beginning of league play. After losing one game and playing to two ties in the first half of the season, the girls faced an upfield battlein attempting to even things up with the Titans. After they were held to a tie by San Dieguito in the third game before the end of the season, the squad went into the final game of the season at Poway needing a win to claim half of the league crown. Just as they fell behind Poway in the standings early in the season, the team trailed the Titans with five minutes gone in the game. A penalty called on a Falcon player gave the Titans a direct free kick about 30 yards away from the goal. Goalkeeper Allison Shannon was able to get one hand on it, but could not stop the ball from passing through the posts. Although the girls tried desperately to score, the Titans thwarted every attempt. The Titans secured the league championship by defeating the Falcons, 1-O. lt was a disappointing game, recalled Coach Bryan Thompson, But we played as well as we could. Our defense was outstanding. Although the championship was lost, the team increased its rank from last year's third place in the Palomar League to second place this year next to Poway. Going into the CIF playoffs, the team was the fifth seeded team in the county. Senior midfielder Shannon Freeland led the team in scoring and was named 'lMVP while Ceci Vint and Tristan Sherrod were named Best Offensive and 'Best Defensive respec- tively. Lynne Defrancesca, Freeland, and Vint were each selected for the first team all- Palomar League. The junior varsity soccer team, led by Barb Simmons, secured a league record of 8-0-4 and overall record of 10-1-4, paving the way for a successful varsity season next year. - Lora Stowe 4.5, Panthers. 68 WOMENS SOCCER CONCENTBATING ON THE BALL, Senior standout Shannon Freeland dribbles closely to avoid being tackled by Vista opponent Rachelle Willis in a game against the ' ' ' ' f .
