Soccer Team Wins Two of Three
This past week the Guilford
College Soccer Team played
three important conference
games against Atlantic
Christian, Elon and Pfeiffer
Colleges.
On Monday, the Quakers
travelled to Atlantic Christian
College for their first night
game of the year. The game
was fast paced as both teams
played strongly, offensively
and defensively.
While the game moved
quickly, the first half ended in
a 0-0 tie. Atlantic Christian
College came back early in the
second half to score. Then,
with less than two minutes to
go in the match, Bobby
Propster fired a shot into the
goal to tie the score. At the
end of regular game time the
score was tied at 1-1. Two
10-minute overtime periods
followed. Halfway into first
overtime, Bobby Propster was
tripped and fouled. This gave
Bobby Lloyd the indirect
kick, which he scored on.
The score stood at 2-1
throughout the overtime
periods. Co-Captain Steve
Lady Quakers Up Record
The Guilford College
Women's Volleyball team
raised its record to 5-6 as they
faced some important confer
ence foes. On Tuesday,
October 4, Guilford faced N.C.
Central in a match filled with
errors. Although Central was
not as strong a team overall
they possessed powerful
serves. Guilford had its problem
handling them, and even
greater problems trying to
keep their own serve. The
teams traded games with
Guilford landing on top 15-7,
8-15, 15-12, 13-15, 15-4.
On Thursday, October 6,
the Quakers faced the Indians
of Catawba, and the Panthers
of High Point.
A psyched Guilford team
ran over Catawba 15-4, 15-9,
to get to the business at hand,
High Point.
High Point, a conference
and division rival, placed ninth
in last year's National Tourna
ment, the Panthers high
national ranking did not
appear to impress the Quakers,
as both teams took the floor,
ready to play.
The Quakers took the lead
early as High Point could not
handle Guilford's strong
serves. The game was high
lighted by offensive power and
defensive quickness by both
teams, but the Quakers had
the momentum, and went
with it to win, 13-15.
The shaken High Point team
Hicks and Bobby Propster,
a leading scorer, both felt that
this was "one of our best
games this year. We played
like a team and it was a well
played match."
On Wednesday, the Quakers
travelled to Elon College to
face the Christians in their
third conference match.
Although the match was not
one of the Quakers more
aggressively played games,
they managed to crush the
Christians 7-1.
During the first half,
Guilford scored twice, the
first coming from Bobby
Lloyd's penalty kick. The
second goal was made in Al
Cook's kick that was headed
into the goal past Elon's
goalkeeper by an Elon player.
Cook was credited with the
goal, however. During the
second half action, Lloyd
scored a second goal, Propster
scored three goals, and
Mustapha Faye scored once.
Elon's only goal came during
the second half on a penalty
kick. Bob Sanquinetti kept
the goal the first half, and
pulled itself together, and this
time it was Guilford that could
not handle their opponents
strong serves. The Quakers
were also plagued by poor
serves on their own part, and
did not manage to score when
they had control of the ball.
The game went to High Point,
15-2.
Both teams were tired as
they came out, but both were
ready for blood. High Point
took the lead early, again
on the strength of their
serves. Guilford appeared to
be making a comeback as its
offensive machine began to
move, but High Point's
extremely effective use of tne
center hit caught the Quaker
defense by surprise several
times. When the smoke
cleared from this highly
competitive game, the
Panthers had won, 15-6.
Guilford faces a busy week,
on Tuesday, October 11,
Guilford travels to Pembroke
to play the Lady Braves and
UNC-Wilmington. On Thurs
day, October 13 Guilford
plays Wake Forest at Winston-
Salem, in a very important
Division II match. On Friday,
October 14 the Carolinas
Conference Tournament
begins. The tournament,
played at Elon this year, will
run through Saturday and
includes Catawba, Atlantic
Christian, Pembroke, Elon,
High Point and Guilford.
The Guilfordian
2nd string Don Basnight took
over the job second half.
Hicks felt that "the team
didn't play well during the first
half, but by the second half
began to work the ball better
and take more shots from the
outside."
On Friday afternoon,
the Quakers hosted Pfieffer in
their fourth conference match.
Basketball Season Approaches
The 1977-78 season of
Guilford College basketball
hopes to improve on what was
an "up and down" previous
year. This year's team will
have more depth than any
team in the past seven years.
Returning from last season's
17-12 team are 6-5 Mike Cherry,
5-11 Gary Devlin, 6-6 Paul
Drechsler, 6-5 Elton Gross,
6-2 Steve Rosenberry, and
6-1 Charlie Welborn. They will
be joined by three players
who transferred to Guilford
last January: 6-5 sophomore,
Al King; 6-5 senior, Gary
McGair; and 6-1 sophomore,
Frank Petrouskie. "We feel
that we had a good year
recruiting," said coach Jack
Jensen. "We were able to
sign two tall players, 6-8
transfer, Greg Hopson, and
Intramural Soccer Standings
The intramural soccer program is now about halfway through
its season. There have been good turnouts for the games so
far and it seems the participants have been enjoying them
selves. The standings are:
Place Team Record
1 Milner 3rd 3-0
2 Milner Ist 2-0-1
3 tie Bryan B. 2-1
English and G.W.H. 2-1
5 Bryan 2nd and
Frazier 1-1-1
6 Day Hops 1-2
7 Milner 2nd
and 3rd 0-3
8 Team 5 (coed) 0-1
Ed Alonge heads one in
The Quakers played a hard
fought game, but they didn't
play well as a team.
Pfeiffer scored early in the
first half, which somewhat
dampened the Quakers spirits.
The remainder of the half was
a rally between the teams,
with the half time score stand
ing at 1-0. During the second
half, Pfeiffer scored a second
6-6 freshman. Bill Meyler, and
a fine guard, 6-3 Sporty
Jeralds."
With four starters back
(Drechsler, Gross, Cherry
and Devlin) and the addition of
the new players, there should
be tremendous competition
for starting positions. There
are six front-court players
who are 6-5 or taller. The
breakdown by grade lists five
seniors, two juniors, three
sophomores and two fresh
men.
This season's schedule lists
a full slate of Carolinas confer
ence games, tournaments
(at Milligan, Tennessee,
Salisbury, N.C., and Ashland,
Va.), and games with inde
pendents Barber-Scotia, Lenoir-
Rhyne, Liberty Baptist,
and Mars Hill.
October 11,1977
time before Bobby Lloyd could
score the Quakers single goal.
The final score was 2-1.
"Pfeiffer played together as
a team," said Propster, "and
we didn't. But we'll beat
them in the conference play
offs."
The Quakers overall record
now stands at 7-3-1 while their
conference record is 3-1.
The Quakers first games
this year will be played at
the Milligan Invitational
Tournament, November 18
and 19. Their first home game
is against Liberty Baptist at
8:00 p.m. on November 22.
There are only 9 home games
this year, so don't miss them!
Team Tennis
Ends
The 1977 Team Tennis
intramurals will finish tomor
row, Wednesday, October
12. In women's tennis, any
of three teams can win. Bryan
third (with 5 wins) plays
Hobbs (with 6 wins) tomorrow.
Either team will have to sweep
all 5 games to tie or beat
Shore, who has 10 wins. Such
a situation should provide
a lot of hard-fought tennis
matches.
The story for first place in
men's tennis is simpler. After
their last match, the men of
Milner first north pulled far
enough ahead so that no other
team can get within 2 games
of them. The race for second
place is the question for
tomorrow. Milner first
south, Bryan first, and Milner
third (A) all have records of
12-9. If you have time
tomorrow, come out to the
tennis courts and watch some
exciting battles.
