Guilford volleyball rolls on
By Mark Harris
After losing four seniors last
year, Coach Gayle Currie of the
Women's Volleyball Team wasn't
sure how good they would be this
season. The 1980 team was very
successful, winning the Carolinas
Conference, the MAIA District
No. 26, and finishing somewhere
between ninth and twenty-sixth in
the nation at the National
Tournament held in Kansas.
"I'm pleased at this point of the
season," Currie says. "We will
need to get stronger though. The
potential is there for a fine season
if we stay healthy from injury
and continue to work." The team
is currently 9-0 after Friday's
game, a victory over UNC-G.
Coach Currie is extremely

Guilford ta
By Edwin Bass
Last week proved to be an
exciting week for the Guilford
Soccer team, as well as a spirit
building one. Not only did
Guilford win all three games but
they proved they had some badly
needed scoring ability. In each
game, Guilford showed good
team play combined with
remarkable individual effort.
In their first game last Mon
day, Guilford easily defeated
Pfeiffer by the score of 4-1. Goal
sewers for the Quakers were Sid
Sockwell, TJ Farh, Alvie Barth,
and Dave Tunney. Even though
Pfeiffer did score first, the whole
Quaker team was peyched for
the game. As captain
Mehran Rad said, "We knew we
could dominate the game if we
played well."
In the second game, Guilford
defeated Pembroke by the score
of 2-1. David Hood scored both of
pleased with the performances of
four players so far. Three are
returning from last year and one
is a freshman. Those who have
been "looking good" are Terri
Heath, Sr.; co-captain Leslie
Bowerman, Sr.; co-captain
Sharon Parker, Jr.; and a
talented freshman from Penn
sylvania, Cathy Wilde.
Terri Heath, who has added
more height to her leap, and
more power to her smash,
continues to look awesome.
Leslie Bowerman has been a
more consistent performer than
last year. Sharon Parks is
making valuable contributions
with her setting skills. Coach
Currie is also "real pleased" with
Cathy Wilde's setting and hitting.

Guilford's goals with perfectly
executed shots. The first score
was from a twenty yard direct
kick placed in the upper right
hand corner, while the second
score was a 35 yard blast to the
lower corner. Although scoring
was not as high as the Pfeiffer
game, it could well have been.
Guilford had three shots which
were deflected off the goal posts;
while an attempted penalty kick
was saved by the Pembroke
goalie.
With two straight victories
under their belt, the Quakers
were ready for their away game
at East Carolina University. The
team easily defeated the ACC
school by the score of 5-1. This
game also saw the scoring of
goals by some second string
players, such as Jeff Polinchock
with two goals, and Paul G res pan
with one goal. Other Quaker
scorers were Dave Tunney and
David Hood with a goal apiece.
Teresa Bonnstetter is also
contributing greatly with a top
spin serve that could mean
trouble for opponents when she
develops more consistency.
Other players on the roster
are: Teresa Arnold, Jean
Geiger, Amy Perrish, Wendy
Peirce who is out with seven
stitches, and Kris Schoolfield.
This year's toughest opponents
will be High Point in the Con
ference and St. Augustine's in the
District. "We'll need to be
stronger and will be stronger.
I'm satisfied but we can look
better."
The Quakers battle High Point
away on Thursday in what will be
an exciting pressure-packed
match.
