Experience key to success for
men’s and women’s soccer
Troy Adams
Assistant Sports Ediotr
Experience will be the key
factor for both men’s and women’s
soccer teams heading into the 1998-
99 season.
The men’s team finished the
1997-98 season with a 2-14-1 record
but is looking to improve in the fall.
“We lost no seniors this sea
son,” men's coach Mike Reilly said.
“We’ll have some leadership and
veteran players. Our bright spot is
recruiting. It’s the best class I’ve
seen so far.”
The team will bring in seven
new players, adding to an already
young team consisting mainly of
freshman and sophomores.
“They ’re so young. They had
a lot of experience this year,” Reilly
said. “It was a learning experience
for them. This is the year we make
progress. By 1999, we’ll be ready.”
As for the women ’ s team, they
will be returning 19 players, includ
ing three seniors and six starters.
One of those players is Tricia
Clark, who was out the entire sea
son all but one' game with a knee
injury. She was the team's leading
scorer.
“Getting her back is a key to
how dangerous we can be,”
women’s coach Paul Webster said.
The team will bring in eight
new players to blend in with current
members.
“They’re (recruits) all great
players and we’re hoping they’re
going to help us,” Webster said.
The Lady Christians finished
the 1997-98 season 4-11-1 but was
never really out of a game.
“We were competitive,”
Webster said. “No one really
outplayed us.”
The team played 11 Division
I games, including all the Big South
teams. In the 1998-99 season, the
team will play 16 Division I games
and only one Division II team.
“Now we’ve got a full Divi
sion I and conference schedule,”
Webster said. “It will give us a good
idea of how we’ll stack up.”
The women’s strengths are
its unity and commitment to what
they need to do better. They are
more experienced too. Their big
gest weakness is scoring, but new
recruits were brought in to fill that
void.
!
“We’ll be pretty good next
year in everything,” Webster said.
“Looking ahead to our first full year
in Division I, we should be pretty

Looking to the 1998-99
season, both the men's
and women's teams bring
in strong recruits to blend
with strong returnees.
