Seahawks snack on Richmond Spiders

Staff Writers
WOW; the only three-letter word that
can describe tlie entertaining match between
the UNC Wilmington men's soccer team and
the Richmond Spiders: In the first Colonial
Athletic Association matchup for the
Seahawks on the season, UNCW mounted
a solid attack to beat the Spiders 1-0.
The game itself was filled with enthusi
asm from both the players and fans. The
fierce rivalry between the two teams resulted
in a fantastic display of both skill and deter
mination. This match marked the first time
since 1989 that UNCW knocked off Rich
mond.
In the first half of play, UNCW went toe-
to-toe against the now 6-3 Spiders. “1 think
we played the best game of the year,” com
mented Tommy Miller, captain of the
Seahawks. Animosity between the two
teams was evident through physical play.
Three yellow cards were called against the
Seahawks; however, numerous fouls were
committed on behalf of both teams.
The first half could also be characterized
as defensive in nature. The Seahawks
seemed to rely heavily on their strong de
fense, which consisted of Nikola Milivojevic,
Miller, Jeff Palmer, and Michael Clarke.
Sophomore goalkeepers Harry Staven and
Bill Mills also contributed to the defensive
effort by combining for a total sk saves.
At the half, the hard fought battle re.sulted
in both teams returning to the locker room
scoreless.
The second half opened with increased
intensity and emotion. Richmond launched
a fiery attack which dwindled after Martin
Kleppe, midfielder for the Seahawks, un
leashed an excellent shot that drilled the back
of the net at 58:35 in the game. Charles
Brooks aided Kleppe with the assist.
“Charles passed the ball, I screamed for it
and the keeper was going to the opposite
comer It was good,” exclaimed Kleppe.
After the shot, the momentum of the game
seemed to shift in favor of the Seahawks.
Richmond, becoming fhistrated with their
play, began to increase physicality. How-
