THE LANCE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9,1976 Pfeiffer Here Tomorrow “Well be a sleeper this year, but we just might turn the'tide,” Dean Betts, soccer coach at St Andrews Cdlege says before the Knights first regular season match with Pfeiffer Cbllege on Friday. Tlie clash, to begin at 4:00 p.m., will be held at ttie St. Andrews soccer field. “Go For It,” is the team motto for 76 says the coach on the brink of his second year at the helm of the St. An drews soccer program. “We’re confident the season will go pretty good,” he says. “It will take some time to get the flow of our game going, but we’ve got some winners out here. Ihese kids ciren’t used to losing. They’re gonna go for it this year.” The Knights, who scrim maged UNC-Chapel Hill on Monday, seek improvement on a 3-9-2 record from last year. In the lid-opener Friday, they will face a tough returning squad from Pfeiffer College who finished with an impressive 15-3 mark in ’75. “The conference will be tough,” Betts declares. “We’ll see the same faces again this year. Greensboro College and Virginia Wesleyan will be especially hard to knock Off.” Betts says the Knights biggest weakness in 76 is “freshmanitis.” “We have many young boys out this year. Six freshman are star ters. We’ll make some mistakes, but field a good club before the year is out. By Friday, we hope to pull it all together and charge the field as one team unit. Once weVe used to playing together, we’ll he a real threat.” Strengths? Betts says the potential of his newly recruited talent is dynamite. Admitting to the success of his recruiting program, he quipped, “Our recruiting was above average this year. We drew a lot of players from New Jersey, Delaware and South Carolina who played with some of their state’s top contenders. These new guys have the determination it takes to win. Tliey go for the ball on both sides of the field.” On defense, St. Andrews is expected to be one of the toughest teams in the DIAC. Returning are senior co captains Tim Griggs and John Barron, who give the Knights the necssary depth and ex perience they need this Fall.

Local players held UNC Monday to fliree goals in a 60 minute period. Only one was scored against the first string. The Tar Heel players are ranked in the nation’s top ten and flaunt a high-scoring group of wings and halfbacks. Offensively, Betts will rely on sharp shooters Sheikh Jagne and Mike Dunn. Jagne was a DIAC All-Conference performer last year. Fresh men Mike Herculson, Thomas Dunn and Gary Bagaley will add to that scoring threat. Starting line-up for Friday’s opener includes: Left Wing - Gary Bagaley Center Forward - Sheikh Jagne Right Wing - Mike Dunn Wing Half - Iwan Tjokrotaroeno Center Half - Mike Hur- culson Wing Half - Thomas Dunn or Maxwell Morris Center Fullback - Tim Griggs Left Fullback - John Doney or Rfck Pumphrey Right Fullback - John Barron Sweeper Back - Scott Broutfaers or Craig Elliassen Keeper - Richard Massey or Carl Jainings Soccer Squad Has Good Showing In Chapel Hill By Knight Chamberlain St. Andrews’ Knights’ first contest of the season took place Monday as the soccer team traveled to Chapel Hil! for a practice match with the Uraversity of North CaroHna. Winning on a score of 3-0. Chapel Hill contained the St. Andrews offense throughout the afternoon, and much of the game was spent on the Knights’ end of the field. Nonetheless, the Knights held the nationally ranked Tar Heels to only three goals with a roster heavily laden with freshman talent. St. Andrews’ biggest problem was the breakup of ite passing game, a probfem stenunuig from a tight set-up on the part of the Chapel HiU offense. Still, freshman Tom my Dunn made a gallant scormg effort from 20 yards out onfy to have it score after tune had expired for the game. Coach Dean Betts praised his team for a fine per formance, but cautioned that the Knights did not come away victorious. Betts is no doubt lootog to tomorrow’s match for a victory on St. Andrews’hometurf. Historian To Speak Peter H.
