Salem Soccer Survives Slow Season
By. Jeanne Haildns and Tate Renner
Salem's soccer team is one of the
newest additions to the college's
athletic program. The team
originated in the fall of 1983. Since
that time, it has greatly improved
its ability to compete on a level
against teams that have been in
existence for many years. After a
slow start in the fall of 1983, the
team was able to bounce back and
capture the Western Division
Championship in the spring of
1984.
This semester the team consisted
of twenty-two players, seven of
whom returned from the spring
team. Although half the team had
never played soccer before coming
to Salem, the members soon
acquired the basic skills of passing,
trapping, kicking, and shooting.
The soccer team, with one game
left in the season has a record of 1-
11-3. Even though this does not
exemplify a winning season, the
coaches, team members, and
soccer supporters feel the team is
capable of producing a satisfying
record and of capturing another
division title. When Dr. Cardwell,
coach of the soccer team, was
asked to comment on the fall
season, he replied, "1 think it was a
successful season because we

played a tougher schedule. We
played more skillful and talented
teams than we did last year."
Although the soccer team has
had stiff competition this semester,
Salem was able to whip Wake
Forest, its arch rival, 3-0 on
November fourteenth. A factor
contributing to the win was the
large number of fans who came out
and helped cheer the team to
victory. The team hopes this
support and enthusiasm will
continue throughout this season
and for future seasons. The team's
next chance to destroy the
Deacons happens at Wake Forest
on November twenty-eight.
You Say Bump
I Say Set...
By; Alice Griffin
The volleyball season is over. It
officially ended the Saturday of
Parent's Weekend with an invita
tional tournament organized by
coach Sarah Scranton. Four other
teams—Randolph-Macon, Con
verse, Queens, and Mary Bald
win—participated.
Salem Athletic Association sold
shorts and a variety of t-shirts.
Along with the help of willing
students, the afternoon was a
success. Thanks to the hard work
of coach Scranton, Salem hopes to
continue the tournament in the
future.
The results of the games were
somewhat unexpected in that
Randolph-Macon finished first,
Mary Baldwin took second place,
and Salem finished third. Salem
was the only team to take a game
from Randolph-Macon. Each and
every one of the girls worked
extremely hard, playing from 9:30
a.m. until 4:30 p.m. that afternoon.
The tournament was well-support
ed.
The volleyball team, in retro
spect, had a good season, maybe
not as evident in their record, yet
evident in the amount of im
provement and team unity exhibit
ed during the season. Much to the
team's dismay, junior Nancy
Allen, a right hitter and very
consistent player, tore ligaments
and badly sprained her ankle
towards the end of the tournament
Saturday. However, for the last
game against Randolph-Macon,
she returned on crutches to cheer
on her teammates.
Becauk volleyball is a sport that
requires total concentration and
agility, injuries occur frequently.
Coach Scranton took several
precautions this season, such as
taping all ankles, knees, and hand
that may have been susceptible to
injuries. Due to the team's smaller
size this year, it could not afford
major injuries.
The team was comprised of only
ten players. From freshman to
senior, members included Moni
que Apter and Lee Thomason
(freshmen), Marleen Welte and
Jessie Tomlinson (sophomores),
Caroline Nelson, Tiphanie Nolan,
Nancy Allen. Penny Fowler, Lisa
Councilman (juniors), and Alice
Griffin (senior). New members of
the team who were also valuable
players throughout the season,
were Monique, Lee, Jessie, Penny,
Caroline, and Marleen.
The team returned to Salem
early this year for intense pre
season training. Coadh Scranton
made every effort to prepare the
team for matches with scholarship
teams. The team travelled as far
south as Columbia, South Carol
ina, and as far north as Roanoke,
Virginia, to play in tournaments
with various schools. The exper
ience was valuable.
Next season, Salem will have a
champion volleyball team without
a doubt. With all but one player
returning, the team anticipates the
return of veteran seniors Julie
narrower and Clay Corpening,
who are studying abroad this year.
Many thanks are owed to the
efforts of Coach Scranton and Dr.
Litzenburg, who have helped
volleyball become a popular and
competitive team sport at Salem.
