New Team New Outlook
by Joanna Knowles
Crowds cheering,
players sweating, coaches
yelling... the 1991 soccer
season has started at M-
AC! This year we have a
great team with many tal
ented freshmen, two re
turning players, and a new
coach. They come from
all over the world - every
where from Texas to Eng
land. This year’s team
seems to be an improve
ment from last year, and
they’re excited about the
season.
The first game against
Warren Wilson was excit
ing. Near the beginning of
the game one of Wairen
Wilson’s soccer players
went down with a broken
collar bone and there was
about a twenty-minute
delay. Towards the end of
the first half, Warren
Wilson began attacking.
but M-AC’s defense,
Robert Magee, Chris
Roush, Phil Parker, Greg
StaiT, and goal keeper
Quent Johnson, remained
strong. Warren Wilson did
score, but almost immedi
ately M-AC retaliated with
a powerful shot from
Akihiro Suzuki. The sec
ond half of the game
started off well with some
shots from Aki Suzuki,
Mark Tucker and Erik
Brown - Suzuki scored
again, followed by two
more goals from Brandt
Howard, and Mark
Tucker, assisted by Brian
Moirison. The game was
exhilai’ating - there was a
big turn-out, and the fans
were hyped.
The next two games
were both rather intense.
Mars Hill played well
offensively, but M-AC’s
defense was great - Phil
Parker had a superb game
and Quent Johnson was
phenomenal. There were
no goals in the first half,
butearly in the second half
Mars Hill scored. Once
again M-AC equalized
quickly - Tommy Wallace
tied up the score with a
solid header. However,
despite M-AC’s excellent
defense. Mars Hill scored
with three minutes re
maining, and M-AC was
unable to recover. M-AC’s
first home game was
against Lees McRae. In
the beginning the teams
seemed balanced. M-
AC’s defense again played
exceptionally well. Gregg
StaiT gave a top perform
ance - getting his head to
the ball time after time.
Although it was a misera
bly hot day, M-AC’s of
fense worked hard, but
Lees McRae ’ s All-Ameri
can goalie didn’t let a
single goal in. Lees McRae
finally scored against M-
AC in the last quarter with
a free kick.
Even though M-AC
has lost two games, there
is still much hope - with
the excellent coaching
from Steve Barret, assis
tant coaches Andy Doss
and Dave Bush, and plenty
of young talent, we are
looking forward to the rest
of the season.
