Not only was last Saturday’s men’s soc
cer game special because they won 2-1
over Catawba College for Homecoming,
but it was also special because this ganie
marked the 100th collegiate win for Coach
Don Scarborough. “I thought it was neat
that it happened at homecoming,” said
Scarborough, “and that all those guys who
were with me on my first team were here
for this game.” Team members from
Scarborough’s first team in 1978 were pre
sent to cheer the Tornadoes on.
Though unfavorable weather didn’t help
game and field conditions, the action was
still fast-paced and intense as the Tor
nadoes managed to stay steps ahead of
their opponents throughout the game.
EC’s first goal was scored by Yong Song
with an assist by David Chun who went on
to score the second goal.
An excellent string of matches
culminated in a disappointing loss for the
Brevard Men’s Soccer team a week and a
half ago against Anderson College. Ander
son came into the game tied with Brevard
for first place in the conference. This
game determined who would be “top dog”
so to speak.
Although the first half did not show more
than two goals for Anderson, goalkeeper
Buck Rowlee made some gritty saves that
kept the Anderson attackers on their toes.
In the last 40 seconds of the first half, a col
lision between Rowlee and teammate Tom
Misuraca left Rowlee dazed and Misuraca
out of the game. Rowlee was later replac
ed by Jacob Christensen after sustaining a
slight knee injury.
Brevard showed more spunk in the se
cond half; however, morale was low.
Another goal for Anderson seemed to wipe
out whatever intent was there. A driving
shot by Steve DeLong and an open kick by
Paul Holmes were the last attempts to
score by Brevard.
Dave Taylor, who coached the second
half, was disappointed. “We didnt’
prepare mentally for soccer—only for
Anderson. They didn’t create the goals;
we gave them away.”
In other recent soccer action, Brevard
won an exciting game over Montreat-
Anderson College with a score of 5-1 on
Oct. 4. Although it was Montreal’s
homecoming, nothing could dampen the
spirits of Brevard’s team or the fans. The
regulation time ended with a score of 1-1,
with Joseph Brooks scoring BC’s lone goal
on a penalty kick. Overtime, a 20 minute
period made up of 10 minute halves, was
equally exciting. Brevard tore away with
two gaols in each half, leaving the score
5-1.
Brevard captured an easy 11-1 win over
North Greenville College on Sept. 22 begin
ning with two goals scored in the first two
minutes of the game. Markus Siebmann
had a great game scoring three of the
goals. Some of the other scorers were
Brooks, Misuraca, and Yong Song.
The Sept.30 match at Lees-McRae was
marked by poor field conditions. Brevard,
however, was consistent and pulled out a
3-0 victory giving Taylor his first coaching
victory. A 0-0 score at half-time made play
all the more intense. Brooks made a
beautiful shot by out manuevering a
player out on the wing; and Song headed
the ball into the goal. Keith Young gave
Brevard another hard fought goal and
David Chun set up another head shot for
Song to give Brevard the victory.

The Lady Tornadoes’ most recent game
was played last Sunday, Oct. 12 against
Georgia State University and ended vic
toriously 6-2 putting the overall team
record at 5-7 which is “not bad for a
building year,” syas Coach Julie Johnson.
Paige Jackson scored five of the six goals
making her player of the game. “I’m real
ly proud of how well the team is doing,”
says Jackson.
Though the women lost to Emory
University last Friday, Oct. 10, by a score
of 0-5, Johnson felt that it was definitely
one of their strongest games this season.
“They were strong in offense,’’Johnson
said, “but we played well even though we
were backed up against the goal a lot.”
Captain Amy Cearley was named player of
the game.
On Wednesday, Oct. 8, the women were
defeated by Warren-Wilson on their home
field. According to Johnson, goalkeeper
Mary Nall played an “excellent game”
with Warren-Wilson’s offense keeping her
on her toes throughout most of the game.
Player of the game, Karen Ellis, suffered
a knee injury and is now out of the remain
ing season.
The Lady Tornadoes have a big game
ahead on Oct, 18 against Maryville Col
lege. BC won the last time the two teams
met and some of the players feel that
Maryville will be tougher because of their
loss. Sophomore Shelly Ainsworth com
ments, “Maryville will also have the
homefield advantage.” She also believes
that the team has a lot of strength this
year. “We have a lot of girls with strength
in different areas instead of one CVf two
superstars. The girls have good attitudes
and are all self-motivated players,”
Ainsworth adds.

A dismal drizzle Saturday couldn’t stop die-hard Brevard College alum
ni from getting out on the soccer field for the homecoming alumni soccer
game. Here, ’86 grad Tony Patino (7) goes for a header against ’78 grad
Steve Schneider (21). Patino playfully called the game the “World Cup
of Has-Beens.”
