Soccer'o
not so -tough for sweepero, at lcaot not for UNC'p Marvin

Soccer can be such an easy sport. Take Ricky
Marvin, for example. He says all he has to do
' from his sweeper position is sit back, make sure
the other defenders do their job and watch the
shutouts roll in.

"I don't have to mark anybody," Marvin said.
"There are four of us agairist three defenders. All
I do is to make sure the offensive players are
marked tightly. If they do their job, it's easy for
me.
Ricky Marvin
Others don't see Marvin's job as so passive.
"If Ricky Marvin isn't an All-American pick,"
UNC cor.ch Anson Dorrance said, "something is
very wrong." .
Marvin was All-Atlantic Coast Conference last
year as a midfielder but was moved this year to
join All-ACC players Kevin Kane and Bucky
Buckley and rising stars Jay Ainslie and Jim Poff
to form one of the stingiest defenses in the
nation, which has scored six shutouts in nine
games. ' " ' "
''Playing with a good defense as a sweeper is
enjoyable," Marvin said. "Good teams will have
men breaking through and get him cpen. From the
sweeper position, I can see these things develop
easily. When I see a side of the field open I can
shift to cover." .
The junior from Baltimore, Md., was selected
as cocaptain for the team, a duty he takes
seriously on the field. "A sweeper is a good
position to captain from," he said. "I can see the
whole field and I don't have to worry about
following a man. I look at what's going on on the
field and make suggestions."
Marvin and the defense haven't often had to
regroup after goals scored against them but a
certain mental toughness is required when it does
happen. '
"You have to mark on your man and say, 'he's
not going to score,' " he said. "As a sweeper I
hate to be scored upon. I feel it's my
responsibility. It's a letdown and you have to' get
back up."
Marvin says the key to the successful defense is
for all 11 men on the field to get involved. "We
have a high-pressure defense. If one breaks
down, it filters down to me. Then we're four-on-four,
and I have to pick the open man up."
Marvin's role on the team, however, hasn't
been purely defensive. His five 'assists in nine
games have put him on track for the school assist
record of nine set by Thomas Perkins in 1959.
This puts him second on the team in assists to
Tony Johnson. Marvin's assists usually come
from his throw-ins.
' ' - ;
"A throw-in is more dangerous than a corner
kick," he said. "Chris Heyn and I can get it to
the big guys like Tony Johnson and Sean Naber
and the defense can't do anything. The goalie is
in a terrible situation because a thrown ball is
more accurate than a kick."
The ACC is as balanced as ever, as shown by
Duke's 3-1 upset over previously top-ranked
Clemson. Both Duke, 1-0 victor over the Tar
Heels in the Mayer's Cup, and Gcmson are
ranked in the Top 20.
"We outshot Duke," Marvin said, "and with
Duke beating Clemson, we know we can do it.
We'll get it in gear. We've always had a good
defense and now we have an offense to go along
with the defense and that's the key to us getting a
bid (to the NCAA tournament)."
Marvin first played soccer at age eight in
recreational leagues and he says he hopes to get a
shot to play as a professional.
. "I would like to go for a couple of years as a
pro," he said. "I'd like to try the pros before
something else. If I didn't, I'd feel like I mrght
miss out on something."
