Lady Quakers Keep It Close, but Drop Two Toughies
Dave Zwadyk
Staff Writer
The Lady Quaker soccer team lost two
tough games against N. C. Wesleyan and
nationally-ranked Emory and tied Coker
to drop under the .500 mark this week.
In a tightly played game that could be
titled "A Story of Penalty Kicks," Guilford
lost 3-1.

Roanoke Injures Guilford, Blemishes Quakers' ODAC Record

A pair of 2-0 defeats last week dropped
the Quakers' record to 3-7-2. Guilford fell
to Methodist, the number one team in the
South region of NCAA Division 111, and
suffered their first ODAC conference loss
to Roanoke.
Guilford experienced a letdown against
Methodist, surrendering both goals in the
first 31 minutes of the first half.
"The Quakers had gone 3-1 -2 in their six
previous games, losing only to Duke Uni
versity.
"We came off the Duke game playing
well and were a little bit over-confident,"
said freshman forward Ron Wimberly after
the game.
Methodist used its exceptional team
speed and ball control to jump out to the
early lead.
The Quakers made some halftime ad
justments to counter Methodist's speed.
Methodist managed only four shots on
goal in the second half as the Quakers
stepped up their defensive play.
Offensively, the Crimson and Gray were
unable to finish, recording only one shot
on goal.
The Maroon of Roanoke dealt the Quak
ers their first ODAC loss of the season last
Tuesday in a physical contest.
The Quakers weren't at full strength for
the game, playing without Leon Wolff and
losing Ron Wimberly in the third minute
with a severely sprained ankle.
"Roanoke was not a good game for us.
We weren't able to control the ball and did
not create much offensively," said Coach
Goldsmith after the game.
The game was scoreless at halftime,
with Guilford recording three shots on
goal to Roanoke's seven.
The Maroon took a 1 -0 lead in the 53rd
minute and added another goal in the 59th
minute off a penalty kick. Roanoke played
defensively for the last thirty minutes,
frustrating the Quaker offense.
Roanoke committed 23 fouls in the game,
as 10 Quakers suffered injuries.
Guilford played Elon on Friday and
Washington College on Homecoming. The
Mandy Ford pass into the right corner of
the goal.
Nine minutes later, the Quakers dodged
a bullet when goalie Lori Helton could not
get a grip on the ball and it slipped past her.
A Wesleyan player had an opportunity to
put the ball into the open net and knot the
score, but her shot hit the corner of the post
and ricochetted out of bounds. The half
ended with Guilford leading 1-0.
Ten minutes into the second half, the
Lady Quakers had a chance to expand their
Quakers lost to Elon in overtime last year,
2-1. Guilford will face Atlantic Christian,
Mary ville, and the University of the South
this week to close out the season.

yards out, which turned into a handball in
the box when a Wesleyan player knocked
the shot down with her hand. Betsy Noell,
however, missed the ensuing penalty kick
when she kicked the ball directly to the
goalie, who easily stopped the shot.
Three minutes later, Noell tried to make
amends on a break-away, but was stopped
on an excellent play by the Wesleyan goalie.
Wesleyan tied the score at 1-1 on a
penalty kick (due to a Guilford handball in
Tuesday's game versus ACC is the final
home game of the season. Guilford de

occurred when a Wesleyan player again
knocked the ball down. However, Guilford
failed to convert the penalty kick when
Sarah Strohl lofted the shot over the goal.
Regulation ended 15 minutes later and the
score was tied 1-1.
Three minutes into overtime, Wesleyan
went ahead after Helton couldn't catch the
ball and the rebound was easily put into the

Against Coker, the Ladies fell behind 1-
0 14 minutes into the game. Betsy Noell,
however, evened the score off a Kathy
Corcoran assist.
Guilford outshot Coker 13-8 but no more
goals were scored in regulation or over
time and the Lady Quakers' record went to
5-5-1.
Guilford lost another heartbreaker
against Emory, ranked 14th in the nation.
Although Emory dominated shots on goal
12-3, the game was closely played, with
the score remaining 0-0 until 18 minutes
remained.
Emory crossed the ball from th? right
corner but goalie Jen Harrison co jld not
grab hold of it and the ball slipped into the
net.
The Lady Quakers, tired from back-to
back overtime games, could not rally to tie
the score. With a little less than 10 minutes
left in the game, Emory tallied their second
and final goal.
Harrison came off the line and deflected
a shot. The rebound, however, was re
turned and found its way into the goal.
Guilford is now 5-6-1.
