DAVID RUFFIN
WASHING TON Although
described by at least one
veteran soccer coach as being
probably the best college
soccer team yet developed in
the United States, the 1974
Howard University booters
became the first soccer
front-runner in U.S. sports
history not to place at least
one member on the ensuing
All-America team.
The jolt was noticeable,
esepcially to Howard
University supporters, as the
National Soccer Coaches
Association recently
announced its selections.
Howard won the 1974
NCAA soccer championship,
the first major college national
crown for a predominately
black college, with a 2-1
victory over -St. Louis
University in December.
Only Howard Captain lan
Bain, a 1971 and 1972 NCAAJ
All-America choice, was able to
win even 'honorable mention'
notice on the official 1974
All-America team chosen bv
NSCA. But oddly enough, Bain
finished third in balloting for
college soccer "Player of the
Year!" NSCA balloting
indicates a total of 51 United
States college players rate
ahead of the reigning collection,
of 23 Bison blue chippers who
set a moder (19-0-0) NCAA
single season won-lost-tied
record . during the past
campaign.
in the opinion of associate
Bison soccer coach Michael
Bill-Jones, a native Qf
Bermuda, "coaches and critics
may as well prepare for
increased Bison domination of
soccer competition at the
college level. Coach Phillips has
a four-year record of 55-2-1
losing twice in four NCAA
playoff finales, while remaining
all but invincible (50-1-1) in
seasonal and regional playoff
activity."
