both individually and as a
team," offered coach Ray

with five freshmen, two
sophomores and one senior on
the squad, and we should
continue to improve as the
season progresses. Our goal
is to be competitive by the
conference and district tourn

On Monday, March 20,
Guilford's lacrosse team
coached by Bob Malm travelled

Carolina State University,
ranked 15th nationally in the
latest poll.
In the first quarter the
Wolfpack dominated and
pressed all over the field.
N.C. State's Ail-American,
Stan Cochran from Ontario,
scored three goals. Guilford
was able to drive upfield a
few times but was unable to
score. At half-time State was
well ahead with a 19-0 lead.
In the second half, Guilford
demonstrated more control of
the game with better passing
and picking up ground balls.
Mark Keavney, winning a
majority of his faceoffs, played
well. With 7:45 gone into the
third quarter Don Thorup
scored Guilford's first goal.
Guilford's next tally against
the tenacious "Pack" was at
the end of the third quarter
when Mark Keavney scored.
Fourth quarter began with
