In Finale
Dy Clirisfiaii Malone
I he men’s soeeer team niiisheci out
the 1996 season witli a 7-3 thrasliing of
Southern Wesleyan at the Montreal
Soccer Complex in Black Mountain. Eric
Burton’s second hat trick of the season
and two goals apiece from Scott Kilgore
and Alex Arias provided the scoring
punch for the Cavaliers.
Before the game, senior back Jason
Guengerich, a four-year starter for the
Cavaliers, was recognized before his final
game in a Montreat uniform. Guengerich
has been an integral part of the soccer
program the past four seasons and his
presence will be missed. Also recognized
were departing exchange students Neil
Summers and Stephen Kinney.
Early on. Montreat had several
scoring opportunities, but couldn’t put the
ball past Southern Wesleyan goalie J.R.
Owens, who made several great saves to
stymie the Cavaliers. The Warriors took an
early 2-0 lead, putting two tough shots
past Cavalier goalie Brian Letendre. But
soon afterwards, the momentum swung the
opposite way.
Burton put the Cavs on the board,
scoring on a textbook breakaway set up by
a great pass from Kerwin Francois, which
cut the lead to 2-1. Five minutes later, the
Cavaliers worked the ball inside near the
Southern Wesleyan goal, and Kilgore
hammered one home from five feet away to
tie the score.
Kilgore then gave the Cavs the lead
several minutes later with a header out of
Owens’ reach, his team-leading 19th of the
season. The Cavs would hold on to the
lead the rest of the game. Burton made it
4-2 with his ninth goal of the season right
before halftime.
Early in the second half, the Warriors
cut it to 4-3, scoring on a header out of the
reach of new Cavalier goalie Ehren Killian,
which was set up by a possible missed
offsides call on S.W. Killian would then
turn into a wall, and the Warriors wouldn’t
find the net again. The Cavaliers, however,
were far from finished scoring.
Arias scored his eighth goal of the
season to make it 5-3. 1 hen, ten secotids
later, the Bolivian native lit the lamp again
with another blast. 11 is two goals turned
the contest into a romp, and made it three
multi-goal scorers for Montreat. Burton
then finished his second hat trick of the
season by taking a pass at the top of the
box and nailing a bullet into the upper left
corner of the goal, his tenth goal of the
season, to finish the scoring at 7-3.
Summers said, “We kicked their butt.
After they got that 2-0 lead on us, I think
we woke up and turned it on. I'his had to
have been one of our best offensive
performances of the season.”
The Cavaliers lltiished the season at
6-11-1. Burton, Casey Short, and Francois
all agree that this was a hard-luck season
for them, and that they should have beaten
every TVAC team but Bryan, but were
done in by bad breaks. With all but three
players scheduled to return in ‘97, the
future should bode well for Cavalier
soccer.
