Booters End Season
By Jacque Lesboot
The soccer season came to a
close for the booters when they
dropped a thrilling sudden death
overtime match to district 26
champs, Atlantic Christian Col
lege. The Quakers ended the year
with a respectable 9-6-1 record
and Conference champsionship.
i ni> year'slsoccer program saw
-nnv changes, including Steve
Skinner becoming head coach
and ten new faces on the squad.
In order to keep on the winning
track the booters need defensive
help next year to fill the vacant
shoes of seniors, Paul Gurspan,
David Hood, Jim Schmutz, T.J.
Faherty and Jeff Polinchock.
The offense, however, appears
strong for next season. They will
be led by Roberta Sa and Tim
Dorion who ended the season with

Future Looks

Although the Women's Tennis
season does not officially begin
until the springtime, there has
been fall-time action.
In the City Tournament,
sophomore and* 1 seed Julie Tup
per emerged victorious in both
the singles and doubles titles.
Lady Quakers dominated the
tournament and the only time a
Lady Quaker lost was when she
faced a teammate. With the ex
ception of Lili Carpenter's loss in
the Quarterfinals to Josie Ward.
Tupper faced teammate Lisa
Miller in the finals and handed

The Quakers ended the season
with a 7-0 record in conference
play and in those games, the of
fense poured in 23 goals while
goalies Jim Schmutz and Mark
Kramer only permitted seven
balls to cross the goal line. Four
of the team's losses came to divi
sion I teams, while all nine wins
were against district foes. The
Quakers compiled a 9-1-1 record
in those district games.
The soccer program is on the
rise, and with an influx of some
new defensive blood the booters
hope they can repeat as con
ference champs in 1984. The year
will also be beneficial in that the
young team and coach will
become more familiar and
mature in all of the aspects of the
game.
Miller, not just the only match
she lost, but also, the only set she
lost. Final scores were 6-2, 6-2.
Then Tupper, teamed with Jen
nifer Friend, defeated team
mates Melanie Bischoff and Lili
Carpenter in three sets to take
the doubles title. Tupper took
both the singles and doubles titles
in the city clay court tourney. The
last Lady Quaker to accomplish
this feat was Shirley Dunn
In team scrimmage matches
thus far the Ladies are
undefeated. UNC-G, William &

School have been victims of their
fine play.

MISTAKES COST GAME
By Tim Meadors
The Lady Quakers ended their
season this weekend in the NAIA
district 26 volleyball tournament.
Their seasonal record was 23-9.
Earlier this week, the Lady
Quakers played their last regular
season game.
The Lady Quakers took on
North Carolina A&T at home on
Tuesday, Nov. 1, winning the first
game off the accurate serve of
Sharon Vanis as well as the
dominating front line play of
Amy Parrish and Nicole Ronan.
The second game the Quakers
were sluggish and North Carolina
A&T stormed back and tied the
score 10-10. The Quakers regain
ed their composure and defeated
the Aggies off the playing of Dana
Cooper, Amy Parrish and Kris
Schoolfield.
The third game the Quakers
prevailed because of the outstan
ding serving of Kathy Ball and
Lisa Tucker and the front line
play of Kathy Baugus. The final
score was 15-2, 15-10, 15-9.
After Breakdown...
Quakers Tie Indians
By Doug Drotman
A Saturday that got off to a
strange start for the football
team also ended on a strange
note. Halfway through the
45-minute drive to Catawba Col
lege the bus, carrying the
players, broke down and left the
players stranded on the highway
to wait for a replacement bus.
The bus eventually arrived but
threw off the usually precise
pregame activities.
Just as last year's 11-10 victory
wasn't decided until the final
minute, neither was the 1983
Quaker-Indian battle. In fact the
game was never decided since it
ended in a 15-15 tie.
The Quakers opened the scor
ing midway through the first
quarter, when Junior linebacker
Scott O'Kelley (4 Tackles, 6
assists) picked off a Bobby
Meyers' pass and after dodging
several tacklers ended up with a

The NAIA District 26 Volleyball
tournament was held at Guilford
College on Nov. 4 and 5. The Lady
Quakers were seeded number one
in the tournament.
On Friday night Nov. 4, Lenior
Rhyne played University of
North Carolina at Wilmington.
This was a very close game but
Lenior Rhyne put out the victory
by the score 15-7, 15-9, 15-13. The
second game of the evening pit
ted Shaw University against
Atlantic Christian College. Atlan
tic Christian rolled on to an easy
victory 15-0, 15-6, 15-0.
The Lady Quakers who receiv
ed a bye in the first round, were
matched against Lenior Rhyne.
The Lady Quakers had the fight
of their lives on their hands.
Lenior Rhyne defeated the
Quakers in the first game. The
Lady Quakers took a 5-0 lead in
the second game but couldn't
hold it and lost 15-8. Lenior
Rhyne, feeling an upset, fought
bitterly and took the final game
from the Quakers. Lenoir Rhyne
was led by server setter Sherry
48 yd. interception return for a
touchdown. Bryan Wilson kicked
the extra point, and the Quakers
had a 7-0 lead.
The interception did not in
timidate the Catawba offense
because with their next posses
sion they put the ball in the air for
two big pass plays. The passes of
20 and 18 yards plus a 15-yard
roughing penalty gave the In
dians possession at the Quaker
28.
The Quaker defense toughened
for the challenge. When faced
with a fourth down and inches
Catawba decided to attempt a
36-yard field goal, rather than
gamble against the Quaker
defense. Jeff Coutler's 36-yard at
tempt was way off the mark and
the Quakers celebrated.
On a Quaker possession in the
second quarter, aided by a
31-yard pass interference penal
ty, the Quakers blew a golden
scoring opportunity. The key

The final score was 15-13, 15-8,
15-13.
Coach Gayle Currie said,
"Untimely mistakes cost us the
game. Give credit to Lenior
Rhyne for capitalizing on thi
mistakes."
The Lady Quakers placed Dana
Cooper on the all-tournament
team.
This is also the last game for
senior captain Amy Parrish. She
is planning to take a year off and
work in a private mental institu
tion. She plans to go to New York
and attend graduate school in
hopes of becoming a clinical
psychologist. Parrish said, "I
will really miss this team
because we are as close as a
family."
She also had this to say about
Coach Gayle Currie, "Coach Cur
rie treats everyone special and
places her players first before
anything else. She is like our
mother even though she is just 30
years old."
UNC-Chapel Hill
Declines Overtime
By Josie Alexander
Last Sunday at Chapel Hill
the Guilford College Women's
Soccer Club came from two
goals down to take the lead
and eventually tie
U.N.C.-Chapel Hill four to four
(4-4).
The tie came as a disap
pointment to Guilco as a last
second goal by Bren Murray
was disqualified in a disputed
call as to when time had ac
tually ended. The game was
left at a tie due to U.N.C.'s
declining to play overtime.
Scoring was led by Gwen
Tracey with 2 goals, Amy
Mahan 1 goal, and Madsie
Bertram—with an incredible
bicycle kick—l goal.
Head Coach Willie Flash
and his staff were very pleas
ed with the team's perfor
mance and described them as
being "tough as nails." Come
and support the Quakers this
Friday afternoon in a home
match against Salem College.
