Cougars hang on to play-off hopes Decisive Clash with Ducks this weekend By Tracy M. Sumner Of The Print Nwamko Livi scored three goals with Sean O’Brien and Brian Gorsek each adding single counters as the Clackamas Community Col lege Men’s soccer team routed Lane Community College 5-1 here last Saturday in an Oregon Inter-College Soccer Association contest. However, the news for Cougar soccer wasn’t all good last week. The team lost a key game with Portland Communi ty College here last Wednes day. The loss was a 2-1 heart- breaker which Coach Janos Szanto felt should have been a Cougar victory. Szanto partially blamed poor officiating for the loss. Portland won the game on a penalty kick after a very doubt ful foul on the Cougar defense. “It was a bad call,” Szanto said. “Portland’s coach admit ted even that they were lucky to get away with that one. “It’s very upsetting to me as well as the players to lose on a penalty kick,” he continued. “We com pletely outplayed PCC; we just couldn’t score.’.’ Szanto pointed to the play of Sean O’Brien, who scored his team’s only goal of the day, as a key factor in keeping the Cougars in the game. He also pointed to something much more than the officiating as a factor in the loss. “Sean played a hell of a game,” Szanto said. “We needed 11 others to play as hard as Sean did. We’ve only had eight or nine playing 100 percent. The others are arguing with each other, arguing with the other team and arguing with the officials:” “The best way to retaliate (to a bad call, for instance) is to score a goal, not arguing.” The arguing by some led to the playing time enjoyed, and used to its fullest, by Livi, a native of Nigeria who came to the United States only 10 mon ths ago. “We needed to make some changes because it seem ed everyone was not pulling for the team,” Szanto explained. The split last week leaves the Cougars in third place in league standings and in a must situation for this weekend’s match with the University of Oregon. Anything less than a tie by the Cougars leaves them out of the upcoming league play-offs. Cougar Tales-- Coach Szanto s appearance has undergone some serious change this week. Szanto no longer sports the beard that has been an identifying mark on the Hungarian-born coach. “1 told the guys that as soon as we score four goals that 1 would shave,” he ex plained. The Cougars collected on the offer last Saturday.
