WWC soccer 9th in South
When the National In
tercollegiate Soccer
Association rankings for the
South was released Tuesday,
Warren Wilson College was
9th on the list of the “Ten Top
Teams’in the South.
The national ranking is the
first gained by the Owls in its
soccer history.
It came following a 1-1 tie,
with then 7th ranked Erskine
College at home on Saturday,,
in the Intercollegiate Soccer
Association “Game of the
Week.' The game was the
.’■econd double overtime the
Owls played last week and
brings their unbeaten record
to 4-0-1.
Last weeks play was one
which pushed Coach Hank
SteinbrecherS never-say-die
squad to its physical limits.
On Monday at Central
Wesleyan, they pulled out a 2-1
cliff hanger in double over
time.
Central, back with a veteran
team, are defending NIAA
District 6 champions.
On Wednesday, the Owls
traveled to Spartanburg to
turn back the Wofford
Terriers 3-0. Close on the heels
of their test against Wesleyan,
the Owls were slow to untrack.
But at mid-point in the half,
quick goals by Jorge Duran,
David Taylor and Randy
Libby, on assist passes by
Roland Piava, put the game
away.
But the Saturday game was
the big one. Traditionally
Erskine has been winning
District 6 championships as
though they owned the NIAA
title. And with the “Game of
the Week’in the South focused
on the Swannanoa Valley, a
win or tie for the Owls would
move them into the top ten.
As it was they emerged with
the elation that in the past had
come only with important
victories. Erskine drew first
blood toward the close of the
first half. Forward Casey
Campbell put the ball in the
goal with a head shot from a
ricochet off the goal bar.
For the opening minutes of
the second half, the highly
skilled Flying Fleet con
centrated the play at the Owli
end of the field. The tide turned
when Warren Wilson halfback
Joe Perreira used an injured
left foot to fire the tying goal
with 15 minutes left in the
game.
From this point on and
through 20 minutes of over
time, Warren Wilson
dominated play but could not
bring shots that missed by
inches into the net.
Coach Steinbrecher would
not single out any one of his
players tor exceptional play.
“They all gave to their full
potential. Without question
this is the best team I have
ever coached.
Owl defensive back Charlie
Kimball was named the
games outstanding player by
the coaches and the referees.
The result is that Kimball is
also the Defensive Back of
the Week’ in the South. Owl
goalie Eric Vaughtert play
deserved equal recognition.
Both coaches felt that there
is a good possibility that
Erskine and Warren Wilson
will meet again in the area
playoffs as winners of District
6 and NIAA District 26.
Steinbrecher: “The team
feels we can do it. I believe we
can.’
The Owls double-overtime
victory over Central Weslevan
showed considerable Warren
Wilson metal. Central scored
first. A goal by Jeff LaCourse
on an assist from Jorge Duran
evened it. Then with two
minutes to play in the double
overtime, back Joe Eck
drilled home the winner.
