SOCCER

The 1981 Spartan Soccer Team entered their season with high

expectations. A very beneficial conditioning program showed

that the Spartans had much talent. Along with the returning

seniors and junior. the team consisted of two exchange stu–

dents - Martin Krahl from West Germany and Gary Flowerdew

from South Africa - and five sophomores. However, the Spar–

tans' high hopes fell short as they lost three of their first four

games. Changes were necessary. After switching Gary Flower–

dew to goal ie the Spartans were victorious aga inst the very

aggressive Panthers of Elder and continued this streak through–

out the next seven games. The Spartans finished the season

with a 6-6-1 GCL record that earned them a second place tie

with LaSalle.
