Calling the first meet “an impressive victory,” first-year coach Dave Rinker said,“It was a great chance to see how well this team woulld react in an all-out effort. The best thing about the whole race was that we didn’t show all our cards—we can still run better.” For Brevard, junior college All- American sophomores John Christiansen and Paul Carpenter dominated the Wake Forest University Invitational finishing se cond and fifth respectively in the 4.83 mile course. Coach Rinker also was pleased with the sophomore Shelly Ainsworth as the only returning player. “All in all we’re doing a great job considering that we’ve been together for such a short time. We’re hav ing a good time playing and we’re learning a lot,” said co-captain, Carol Ellison. Because the team plays four-year col leges, Johnson feels that “any victory will be a big one and that competition will be rough.” performance of three “very impressive freshmen,” he said.

Rowlee’s spectacular leaping save on a penalty kick brought a sigh of relief' from the crowd. Two more Brevard attempts were made by Steve DeLong and Joseph Brooks 1 before Vic Miriel scored to end the game at 3-0. This victory over SMC was long i awaited since Brevard lost to them three times last year. DeLong commented, “Don said one day we were all going to have a good day—today was it. Revenge is sweet.” Chun agrees,“We were comfortable today, and today we played like brothers.” The men’s season opened with h disap pointing 1-0 loss to the Berry College Junior Varsity Soccer team. Despite the loss, the game was exciting. The first half was a series of cat and mouse games from goal to goal. Early in the second half, Berry scored on a penalty kick. And Despite some beautiful attempts by Tom I Misuraca, Chun, and Paul Holmes, the ! score remained 1-0 for Berry College. , However, Brevard was back on the upsw- r ing the next day with a smooth 5-1 win over North Greenville College.
