Women’s soccer team playing at peak
By PATRICK BRANNAN
North Carolina Wesleyan’s
women’s soccer team played their
best game Oct. 10, said coach
Patrick Baker, as the Bishops
rolled to a 5-1 victory over
Maryville.
The Bishops increased their
record to 10-2-1 and are 3-0 in
the conference. They are also
ranked second in the region and
eighth in the national polls. Baker
says that his team is peaking at
the right time.
Wesleyan got off to a slow
start but found the net after junior
Tiny Mey centered the ball and
junior Jenny Meagher moved
around the goalie and put the ball
in the net. Meagher found the net
again after a pass from junior
Chris Webb.
Near the end of the first half,
senior Kerri Makar took a pass
from freshman Amy Coley and
put it neatly inside the near post
Wesleyan dominated the en
tire game as the Bishops recorded
10 shots on goal to Maryville’s
Men soccer struggling
By PATRICK BRANNAN
North Carolina Wesleyan’s
men’s soccer team suffered a dis
appointing 2-0 loss Oct. 10
against Maryville, especially dis
appointing because Coach Spen
cer Smith said it was to a team
Wesleyan was capable of beat
ing.
It was an even game on the
field. Both teams recorded a total
of 12 shots and each goalie made
seven saves. The Bishops outshot
Maryville 9-5 in the first half, but
had nothing to show for their hard
work, while Maryville capitalized
on their opportunities.
Maryville looks to their for
ward Chris Reed as their catalyst,
and it was no different Sunday as
Reed scored both goals for the
visitors. Reed blasted a shot into
the goal during the first half, then
in the second half he scored on a
chip that landed in the net.
Coach Smith is concerned that
the team is not doing what it takes
to win.
“We can control the game be
tween the 18’s but we are not
stopping opponents from scoring
and not scoring ourselves,” Smith
said. He said the team is being
Weight room receives
new Nautilus equipment
By MARIE LENANE
The North Carolina Wesleyan
College weight room has taken
on an entirely new look this se
mester since the Athletic De
partment was able to purchase 10
pieces of Nautilus equipment
from the Westridge YMCA,
The purchase was made pos
sible through an equal contribu
tion of $2,500 from both the Stu
dent Government Association and
the Wesleyan Bishops Club.
The deal to purchase the equip
ment, which began in February,
was finalized this August. The
equipment was transported with
the help of student athletes under
the watchful eyes of Coach Don
Scalf and Athletic Director
Michael Fox.
“It was a long and tedious pro
cess, but the weight room looks
much better now,” said student
athlete Kinsey PritchitL
“When I first arrived here in
1983, we didn’t have a weight
room,” said Fox. “It has been
somewhat of a personal goal for
me to improve our equipment.
Although there is more work to
be done, I am really excited about
the new equipment”
Fox first heard of the avail
able equipment through the grape
vine and worked out the deal
through a number of phone caUs
with the assistance of Westridge
YMCA representative Tammy
Long.
“We were happy to see the
equipment go to North Carolina
Wesleyan,” said Long.
The weight room, located in
the rear of Everett Gymnasium,
is available to all Wesleyan Col
lege students.
“It was important to us to en
sure the availability of the new
weight equipment for everybody
before approving it” said Student
Government Association Resi
dent Tommy Allen. “Volleyball
coach Charlie Long thinks that
the new equipment benefits not
only the athletes but also benefits
the rest of the student body.”
The weight room is open from
Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m.
to 9 p.m., Friday from 9 am. to 6
p.m., and on Sunday from 6-9
p.m. It is supervised from 3 p.m.
on by student workers who will
be trained to provide assistance

hurt by not stepping up on de
fense, not getting back quicker,
and not preventing opponents
from getting a shot off.
The Bishops came out strong,
but after the first goal by Reed
seemed to lose their confidence.
At the end of the game. Smith
was pondering what could be
done to help the team.
The Bishops have a record of
6-6 and are second in the confer
ence with a 2-1 record. The Bish
ops played at conference oppo
nent Christopher Newport Thurs
day and return home to play
Lynchburg Saturday.

one in each half. The Bishops’
goalies had the day off as they
had to make just one save the
entire match. The Bishops
pounded the Maryville goal, how
ever, and their goalie made nine
saves in the game.
Coach Baker following the
match said it was “scary the way
we played,” calling it a great team
effort and citing unselfish play
by everyone.
The second half saw the Bish
ops find the net twice. They also
had numerous other opportunities
to add to their goal total. Webb
found the back of the net off a
pass from junior Julie Duerler.
Later junior Kym Kendall scored
unassisted on a direct kick off the
crossbar.
The Bishops have a week off
before the next game on Oct 19
at 3:30 p.m. at home. It wiU be

the road with four games in seven
days, including a major confer
ence game on Oct 27 at Method
ist College. Baker sees the Meth
odist game as the conference
championship.

start, the Bishops have won nine
straight games.
