Elon soccer player receives All-American honors Angie Riley Sports Editor Sophomore Amy Williamson’s dominating offensive skills and quick play- ’’'aking earned her the honor of l>eing selected first-team All- "^merica by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Williamson received the onor in December and became first Elon athlete to be named ^••-America since the school ^ anged to NCAA Division II. ne was also recognized on the 11-SAC first team and the Caa’s All-South Region Team. Six of the team’s 12 game- ^^‘nning goals last season came oiT) Williamson. She finished Season with 19 goals and • assists leading the team to a record and 6-1 in the y V' “When you get down to the X point of a tie game you really 3f>t to win and you have faith in f team that they’re going to ®‘P you score,” Williamson r “You never take a game- (1 ‘*'ning goal as a one person d ‘''8- It’s a team effort.” d mN IS / Pion*s Picks John Piontek Columnist Provided by Sports Information Amy Williamson led the team in scoring with 19 goals. Williamson helped in bringing the team to a share of their fourth straight conference title last season after falling short a goal in overtime against Catawba in the championship game. It was a tough loss for the Lady Fightin’ Christians after such a strong season, but Williamson is confident in the team and their persistence. “Our team has a close friendship and we all have that feeling of knowing we’re good. We work well together because we’ve gone so far so we know each other’s style of play.” Unbelievable. The Dallas Cowboys sure did look like world beaters in the twenty-eighth Super Bowl. They played brilliantly in the second half to overcome a seven point halftime deficit and beat the Bills handedly, 30-13. I found it simply amazing that there was such a vast number of fans who were so proud of their Cowboys, America’s Team. I feel as if my memory is failing me. It seems to me that a few years ago, the San Francisco 49ers were the public’s favorite team. How can this contradiction possibly exist? Bandwagon. Bandwagon. Jump on the bandwagon. All of ye who are weak of heart and spirit hop on. All aboard! Despise your spineless selves for lacking the brains to pick your own favorite team. The bandwagon issue upsets my entire being. People can be found wearing Cowboy’s paraphanalia all over Elon’s campus. I doubt the same was true in 1989 when Dallas had only one victory. I like to argue with bandwagon people. Their mental flaws are simple to point out. A friend of mine who shall remain . anonymous (we’ll call him “Mikey” for reading purposes) likes the Cowboys and claims that he has liked the Cowboys since he was a little kid. Folks, “Mikey” was a little kid in the 70’s and early 80’s. I seem to recall the Cowboys receiving the label of “America’s Team” in that time frame due to their winning ways. Once again, a mental lapse has been pointed out by Pion. Some other bandwagon phenomenons are just as bad in other sports. I haven’t seen a UNLV t-shirt or hat in about two years. Everyone has their lips firmly planted on the posterior of the Braves and White Sox, yet another losing season for the A’s will produce a fire sale on their merchandise. I also recall seeing the pre-Jordan Bulls on WON with Harry Caray announcing to an empty arena. Once again, irrefutable evidence. So if one of you bandwagon fans says, “How ‘bout them Cowboys!”, be prepared for Pion to give you a long drawn out answer. And just in case you wanted to know, my favorite team is, you guessed it, the Green Bay Packers. ss— . c Schedule of events 12 Baseball vs. Belmont Abbey (HOME) 1:00, Newsome Field Women's Basketball vs. Presbyterian (HOME) 5:45 Alumni Gynasium Men's Basketball vs. Presbyterian (HOME) 7:45, , Alumni Gymnasium 14 Women’s Basketball vs. Mt.

Elon baseball player pleads guilty to larceny charge Erick Gill Editor Noel Manley, an Elon College baseball player, was arrested on charges of misdemeanor larceny Dec. 9 and pleaded guilty to the charges in Alamance District Court the same day. Manley, a freshman and a resident of Mebane, was attending Elon on a baseball scholarship. Manley admitted to breaking into two cars on Dec. 5 and 6 and taking over $1,200 in. stereo equipment, Elon College Police Detective Mike Woznick said. Manley was sentenced to three years of supervised probation, ordered to perform 100 hours of community service and ordered to pay restitution to the victims. Manley is no longer enrolled in the college, according to the Elon College Registar’s Office. Dave Hibbard, director of Sports Information, said, “He (Manley) has been suspended for the baseball team indefinitely, pending .the outcome .pf the college judicial review.” Hibbard said he is unaware of any actions taken by the school. “It’s just one of those unfortunate things that happen,” Hibbard said. Manley’s status on the team will depend on the college’s decision to readmit him, Hibbard said. Hibbard said if Manley is readmitted, baseball Coach Wade Best would decide on Manley’s return to the team. The Pendulum tried to contact Manley on Monday and Tuesd9y,but was unsuccessful.
