Owls Stunned by Cavalier Come Back
Coach Joe Hagan
Montreal NC - The Montreal men’s
soccer team didn’t want any of their
fans to leave the game early on a
windy, cold Tuesday afternoon at
Cavalier field. Faeing local rival,
Warren Wilson College, the Cavs
Once again proved that “it ain’t
over till it’s over”, as they were
forced to come back from a 1-4
deficit to defeat the Owls by a final
score of 5-4. The after
noon started on a prom
ising note as Montreal
put immediate pressure
on the Owl net. They
were rewarded with an
early penalty kick as
fresh Jaime Apreda
(Buenos Aires AFG) was brought
down in the Wilson penalty box.
Freshman Nick Black (Candler NC)
calmly slotted the
Penalty kick into the comer of the
net to give Montreal the early 1 -0
lead. The next fifteen minutes were
pivotal as the Cavs missed some
easy opportunities to take the com
manding two-goal lead, and Warren
Wilson tied the game on a long ehip
over freshman keeper Brian Adams
(Asheville NC). With the momen
tum on the Owl side, the wheels
started to eome off for Montreal
who saw the Owls score again on
Adams and then score two more
on freshman David Schermerhom
(Black Mountain NC) to take a
4-1 lead early into the second half
Determined not to give the Owls
their first win in the long history
of Montreal soccer, the
Cavs dug their heels in
and started to battle back.
David Vertner (Jackson
ville FL) shifted the
momentum to the Cavs
|j on a beautiful solo run
and goal to eut the defi
cit to two with twenty-seven min
utes to play. With junior Brandon
Love (Gastonia NC) minding the
Cav net and the defense stifling all
Owl attacks, the Cavs started blast
ing the net and creating scoring
opportunities. Finally, with six
teen minutes to play, a long shot
by sophomore Jonathan Adeock
(Candler NC) was unintentionally
deflected in by an Owl defender
to bring the Cavs within one goal.
Jaime Apreda tied the game with
three minutes left after slieing
through the entire Wilson defense
and slotting the shot pa.st the help
less Owl keeper.
With everyone thinking “overtime”,
junior Jeff Bryson (Florsc Shoe
NC) headed the game winner past
the stunned Wilson keeper after
a great effort in the box to give
Montreal another inercdible come-
from-behind victory in the closing
minutes of the match.

The Montreal Running Club,
headed by Freshman Tarbell Patten
and running coach Thomas Cason,
is an opportunity open to students
of all physical abilities, and is
aimed at having a good time and
getting exercise. Coach Cason lends
his extensive coaching and running
experience to the club of about 7
guys and 5 girls. The Club meets
three times a week in front of
MeAlister Gym, and they run for
about an hour. In order to accom
modate those with difficult sched
ules, the elub is flexible and will
often run as two groups, each at a
different time.
Montreal College has had a var
sity cross country team for
three years, however, interest dw n
died. There was not enough parti
pation to keep the team going
Jear. Cason and Tarbell hope that
by next fall there will be enough
interest to revive the team for
season of competition.
The Running Club seek to
make running as fun as pos^iblc^
provide good company, m ■■
areas to run in, healthy encoura _
ment, and a relaxed, non-compet
live atmosphere.
