Aces Match Soccer ' s Finest but are Robbed • of Post-Season Berth by Craig Bonhert Back in the good old days, Jesse James and his com- padres used a gun to rob people. UE head soccer coach Fred Schmalz couldn ' t be blamed for thinking the tradition is still alive in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but the tools of the trade have changed to a referee ' s whistle. For the second year in a row, Schmalz and his soccer Aces took on the Panthers of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for the chance to earn a berth in the NCAA post-season cham- pionship, and, for the second year in a row, the Aces were denied that opportunity by a one-goal defeat at the hands of the Panthers. However, the means to the end were questionable. Two of the Aces players, forwards Davies Bellamy and Just Jensen, were ejected from the match by the referee, who red-carded them for dissention without first showing them the yellow card, as is standard practice. The Aces would not be denied a goal, though, as freshman sensation Rune Bjoro squeezed a free kick into the net while the Aces were playing at a two-man deficit. But once again the referee ' s whistle sounded. The man in black disallowed the Aces goal, saying the kick did not touch two Panther players. When overruled by the linesman, the referee then said he had not blown his whistle to begin play. Commented Schmalz afterward, ' Tt was obvious that we were not to win that game. But the Aces did win games. Twelve, to be exact, along with six losses and three ties. This year also marked a first, as the Aces hosted their first Purple Aces Soccer Tourna- ment, which brought top-ranked squads like Cleveland State and then-No. 1 -ranked Alabama A M to town to compete with the 14th ranked Aces. The Aces took second in the tournament to A M ' s first while placing Jensen, Bellamy, Gerard Homer, Pat Burns, and Scott Westbrook on the All-Tournament Team. Although the six losses look like a lot the Aces played against many of the top-ranked teams in the nation and demonstrated they have earned the right to stand along- 18 SOCCER

side the nationally known powerhouse like Southern Methodist, SIU-Edwardsville, Cleveland State, and Indi- ana, who went from a 3-2 overtime win against the Aces to the final game of the NCAA Division I tournament. Characterized by youth this season, the Aces graduated only two players, midfielder Dan Jenkerson and forward Frank Ehrensbeck (see article). Although the Aces will miss the contributions of these two players, they look forward to welcoming back a large group of experienced, talented men. Leading the group will be Jensen, who was a candi- date for All-American honors and a player opposing coaches called the best forward in the country. Sup- plemented by Bellamy, Homer, Bjoro, and others the Aces look forward to next season, which Schmalz wishes would start right away. It ' s Wisconsin-Milwaukee ' s turn to play at Evansville.
