Lacrosse! Quakers have op
ponents quaking.
If you could end the 1984 men's
Quaker lacross season right now,
many people would be happy.
The team is currently 4-0,
posting wins against Holy Cross,
Radford University, Wooster,
and most recently, Randolph-
Macon.
The Quakers' scoring is
averaging 16.25 goals per game,
while allowing a mere 8 goals per
game to their opponents.
But, the outcome of the 1984
contest between Division I power
Washington and Lee and the
Guilford stickmen will give the
Quakers a much more accurate
reading on just how good this 1984
squad really is.
Not only do the Quakers have to
travel to Salisbury, Maryland to
challenge the 6th ranked Division
The Quakers faced-off against Randolph-Macon on Saturday and added another victory to their
undefeated season.

Commentary
Coach Miller observed that
"This team has a very special
quality. It believes in itself.
We're really looking forward to
the challenge of the high caliber
teams we are playing this week.
This week will give us an answer,
one way or another."
Standouts for the Quaker
stickmen in the first 4 games in
clude senior tri-captain Scott Nix
Birch and Amy Mahan all went
2-3 but runs were not produced.
The second game, Guilford came
back, in a close game, to win 3-2.
They were led by Suzanne Lowe
2-3 with a triple; Amy Parrish
on, who has managed to
dominate his opposition over 73%
of the time in face-offs. Nixon is
only 2 goals shy of breaking the
Guilford College scoring record
for a midfielder, with 64 goals
scored thus far in his careers.
The leading goal scorer this
year is sophomore attackman
Tim Diamond, who has to his
credit 18 goals in this early
season.
Other standouts include senior
tri-captain Rob Taylor and junior
Tom Schoendorf, both of whom
have been instrumental in shut
ting down the opposition's
leading goal scorers.
Also deserving recognition are
junior attackman Peter Higgins
with 11 assists, and sophomore
Joe Savarese with 12 assists.
Combined, this gives the two at
tackmen credit for creating scor
ing opportunities on 23 separate
occasions.
2-4, Mahan 2-2, and Kim Keyser
3-3.
In the first game of the week
against Meredith College. The
Quakers exploded on Meredith
for a 16-0 thrashing in the first
game.
The next game was against St.
Augustine on a bitterly cold and
rainy Wednesday. The game was
supposed to be away, but the
weather and field condition at St.
Augustine forced the game to
Guilford.
Excellent hitting by Cooper 3-3
with a double, Lowe 2-3 with a
double, Parrish 3-3 with a triple,
Keyser 2-3, Sharon Varis 2-3, and
Vanis with a homer, drove the
Quakers to a 19-4 win.
The Women softball team is 8-i.
for the season but they will have a
busy schedule for this week, they
have games on Tuesday, Wednes
day, Friday and Saturday. Their
next home game is Saturday,
March 30.
