Knights Arena Peter Galan Asst. Editor Since athletics is such an integral part of campus life here at St Andrews, when we came up with the idea to restart the Lance I knew that we needed the sports page to be here and to be good. And 1 was trying to come up with a catchy name for the page instead of just having “Sports” at the top of the page. So, since we are the Knights, and Knights in the medieval times used an arena to showcase their athletic talents, what better name for the page than Knights Arena? We are all Knights and by writing this page, I am help ing showcase the athletic talents of SAPC athletes. My goal for the Knights Arena is to have a fair and true report of the goings on of SAPC athletics, as well as showcasing various sports and athletes as the year goes on. It is my hope that you will like what you see, and that what 1 give yx)u wiit'be both enjoy*--* able to read and informative. I would also like to take the time to introduce my fellow sports writer, Michael Legg. First I would just like to say that I am excited about being able to write on the Sports Page. Sports are very excit ing and I think a good way to show school spirit. Hopefully by cover ing sports it will help increase this spirit. Perhaps by covering sports I will be able to share my excitement for sports with you. If anyone has a question or anything about my writing you can email me at leg- gmv@sapc.edu. He, like me, is a Knights Arena The Lance devoted sports fan who will be able to give an accurate portrayal of the actions and happenings of each game we attend. A word about that. My plan for the fall season at the least is to have a sports reporter at every home game so that we can report on it in detail as well as having a coach recap an away game. If we happen to be able to attend an away game, so be it, more coverage for you. However, I do only plan to extensively cover the home games while giving all of the scores, home or away. With that, I would hope that if you have any questions or com ments about my writing, or if there is something specific you would like to see in the sports page, please, by all means email me at galanpw@sapc.edu. Men’s and Women’s Soccer Roundup Peter Galan Asst. Editor After an 8-0 loss the men’s soccer team was looking to turn it around at home. The first home game was a very different story for the men and a great start for the women. On a very hot day both teams were on fire. For the men there was a shut out and four goals led to a total domination of North Greenville. Women’s soccer didn’t get a shut out but had an even more dominat ing performance in their blowout against the same team. Their first goal scored very early in the first half set the tone for the game. The '^ frfst’half" closed’wftfi a ^-6 leaci. They didn’t stop there and the final score was 8-1. September 3 was the second home game and the men looked to continue their winning ways at home. Unfortunately the offense was silent and they were shut out. The defense was pretty good however and kept it close with a final loss of 2-0. Women’s soccer fell in a very similar way with the loss at 4-0. For the next game both teams headed for Newberry. This was not a good trip as both teams fell. Offense was lacking once again as the women were held to no goals and gave up one and the men scored one but gave up three. Returning home gave hope for a possible turn around but it wasn’t to be as the lack of offense continued. The men never had a chance in their heart breaking 5-0 loss, while the women did manage a goal, but still gave up 4. Just when our soccer teams both seemed to be in a free fall Erskine came into town. On another hot day both teams were once again ready to play. The men broke their losing streak with a' close and hard fought 4-3 win. It was in doubt for most of the game, but in the end the Knights came through. The women didn’t lose. but unfortunately couldn’t pull of a win. It was a total defensive strug gle with neither team hitting the net. Once again soccer hit the road for the next two games. The men got another win for a two game winning streak. They went into Coker and came out with a 3-1 win. Another close game and they lost in a close one 1-2. The women made a stand in the first game on the road. They made it close scor ing a goal but giving up two. Then the women seemed to fall apart on offense. They were shut out on the road 0-5. Then both teams looked to their homecoming to make their offense come to life and give them a win. Home field was sweet to the men and they were able to keep Barton to two goals while hitting three of their own. Then Mars Hill rolled in and this win was soon for gotten. After a morning rain the sun came out to make the game a little friendlier to fans. The sun didn’t shine on the Knights as they fell 2- 3. Women’s soccer didn’t have any better luck. They were already in a bit of a slump and things haven’t gotten any better. They were shut out by Barton and surrendered 6 goals. For the next home test it was a stormy wet day. Perhaps this would spark the offense but it did n’t happen. They fell 3-0. The over all record for the women is 1-7-1. The men have fared slightly better with a record of 4-6. Mens Golf Peter Galan Asst. Editor The men’s golf team had a successful start to its Fall season in September. They have played 4 tournaments since the beginning of the school year, one of which you already know about, the St Andrews Fall Invitational that is spotlighted earlier in this edition. They have played tournaments at: Lenoir-Rhyne, the Billy Joe Patton ' Invitfltionaij '.'September iii luo Pfeiffer, the Old North''’ State : Invitational, September 16-17; and Queens, the Top-Flite/Rafferty’s Invitational, September 21-22. The linksmen’s best finish was that tie for second at their home tourna ment, but they also had a third place result at the Queens tourna ment. The team’s overall head-to- head record is 29-18, 7-8 in CVAC play. That record basically means they have finished above a cumula tive 29 teams in the tournaments they have played, and behind 18 teams. 7 of those teams they were ahead of were CVAC squads, while they finished behind 8 CVACers. s p o R T s c H E D U L E S iler^Soccer ISchedule loctober 21: @ Wingate jOctober 25: vs Queens: 4 PM October 28: @ Mt Olive November 1 vs Limestone 3 [PM Women’s Soccer Schedule October 21: @ Wingate October 25: vs Queens: 2 PM October 28: @ Mt Olive November 1 vs Limestone ( 1 PM bmen’s Cross Country Schedule October 24: @ CVAC Championships November 8 @ NCAA Regional Men’s Golf Schedule October 19-21 @ North Shore hvitational hosted by Pfeiffer Women’s Schedule October 22: vs Barton toober 25: @ Lees-McRae i Odtober 28 vs Queens & 630 PM Ctetcriber 31 vs Limestone #! 630 PM I Movember 1 v s; Anderson @12 PM * Jvfovember 4 @ Barton | November 6 @ Ml Hovember 10 vs NC Central! @ 630 PM i November 14 @ CVAc! tbumament
