Lady Luck has not been
with the Knight’s Varsity
soccer team this season as
they have been inundated
with injuries and illnesses
from the beginning of the
season which has resulted in
numerous changes in starting
positions and lineup. These
changes have been both
frustrating and confusing for
Coach Fedak and team
members. But despite these
problems the team has kept
their high morale on and off
the soccer field.
Among those injured is
returing junior Brian
Schriber. He will not be see
ing any playing time this year
because of a broken foot he
acquired before season prac
tice. Another disappoint
ment befell the team when
transfer Bob Levey, who
placed kicked for Wake
Forest football team last
year, sustained a knee injury
which abandoned most of his
hopes for playing this
season. Freshman Madison
Geer will also not see much
playing time this season as he
seriously injured his ankle
earlier in the season.
Last year’s MVP, Scott
Dormire, injured his
shoulder during practice and
was unable to start in the
first few games. Although he
did see some playing time in
the doubleheader in Virginia,
he reinjured his ankle in the
Methodist game and has
been unable to play in the
last few matches. Senior Dan
Paracka, who was able to
start in the first few games,
sustained an ankle injury
during practice. Although his
ankle has not completely
healed, he has recently
returned to the starting
lineup. Freshman Joey
Costello who came to prac
tice with a badly sprained
foot, has been able to play in
the last few games and has
performed quite well.
Although these players
have been greatly missed,
their subsititues as well as
other starting players have
given a 100‘?^o performance in
the last few games and have
compensated some of the
vacated positions with some
players who normally do not
play in those positions. As
for their team standing, the
Knights are now 3-6 overall.
Their victories have been
won masterfully and their
defeats have been taken like
Coots Exhibit Spirit
By Paul Verpillo
Togetherness is the trade
mark of the 1983 St. An
drews Volleyball squad. The
Coots have plenty of spirit
and lots of enthusiasm.
Every player has made a
significant contribution this
season. Despite losing their
first three matches, the Coots
pulled it together to field an
eight and fou' overall record.
St. Andrews is currently tied
for third place in the DIAC
with a record of 3-2.
Recently, the Coots travel
ed to Greensboro to play an
always tough UNC-G team.
Despite losing, St. Andrews
played an oustanding game.
Coach Jo Ann Williams was
very pleased with effort her
team exhibited. “Even
though we didn’t win, we
played with more intensity as
a team than anytime
before,” Williams said.
The Coots have many
outstanding players this year.
Senior hitter Eva Pittman
has great offensive power.
Her superior height and jum
ping ability contribute to her
offensive prowess. Junior
hitter Kelly Aker has im
prove her offensive and serv
ing skills 100% from last
year.
Senior setter Marie Col
eman has been a strong
defensive player this season.
Against UNC-G, she turned
in her best performance of
the present season. The
Coots do miss sophomore
hitter Chris Devos who was
injured after the UNC-
Wilmington match. Her ex
perience and blocking power
is crucial. Still, Williams em
phasizes a team concept, so
everyone has an integral
position to play.
Many important matches
will be played at St. Andrews
through out October. The
Coots will host the number
one Conference powerhouse
Greensboro College on Oc
tober 25 at 6 p.m. They will
also face UNC-G on October
31 at 6 p.m. Most of the mat
ches at home will be against
conference opponents, so
they will be critical.
Despited their success dur
ing the Season, Williams feels
that her team deserves more
support from the student
body at home matches. “Our
kids work just as hard as any
soccer or basketball players,
but they don’t get the
recognition,” Williams said.
“We just wish more peo
ple would come out and see
us play. It really makes a dif
ference.” The St. Andrews
Coots are a hardworking
dedicated team that deserves
full support.
gentlemen.
Many of the victories,
however, have been skillfully
lead by freshmen Paul Fran-
zoni and Jay Burney, leading
scorers for the Knights. Paul
came to St. Andrews from
Trenton, New Jersey where
he was an All-State player
last year. Combined with the
skills of Paul and other front
linesmen, Jay Burney, a nor
therner from Pennsylvania,
has also lead the Knights in
scoring thus far this season.
The past week was one of
the toughest of the season for
the Knights as they not only
traveled to Virginia on
Wednesday against Averett,
but had to remain here dur
ing the fall break in order to
play against Lander Friday
and UNC-G on Monday.
The Knights played excep
tionally well, but it was not
enough against #1 ranked
Division IIIUNC-G. In the
second half the Knights
pressured the Spartan
defense, who has only given
up one goal in 14 matches,
but were unable to find the
back of the net. If St. An
drews can continue to play
this caliber team as well as
they proved Monday, -they
should have no problems
with their remaining 6
games.
Among the key moves in
line-up, coach Fedak moved
Shawn Gonnaway to a 5th
defensive man which proved
to be effective in helping con-
