Cougar soccer team
nabs play-off berth
By Tracy M. Sumner
Of The Print
The College soccer team
entered last Saturday’s game
with the University of Oregon
Ducks with a 3-2-1 record in
league play and a chance for a
play-off spot depending on the
outcome of the Oregon game.
Tension was high as the team
took the field against the Ducks
for what could have been the
Cougars’ final game of the
season.
The Cougars quickly
disposed of the tension with an
easier-than-it sounds 4-2 win
over the Oregon squad at
Autzen Stadium in Eugene.
Tim Canfield scored the team’s
first two goals and Dieh-Waithe
Livi Nwankwo (Nwamko Livi)
scored his fourth and fifth goals
in his last two games to carry
the Cougars to the win.
Canfield’s first goal was a
short header early in the game
followed by a goal on a 25 yard
free kick for a 2-0 lead. After
that, the outcome of the game
was history, only the final score
needed setting.
“That game was pretty
much over after we went up
2-0,” College Soccer Coach
Janos Szanto said. “We let up
in the second half and let
Oregon score twice, but I’m
satisfied.”
Livi scored once in the first
half, a score that gave the
Cougars a 3-1 halftime advan­
tage, and finished the team’s
scoring with a goal in the se­
cond half to provide the final
margin of victory.
“I feel really happy,” Livi
said. “I’m confident we’re go­
ing to do it again this week­
end. The guys played very
good soccer. If we play like that
this Saturday, we’re going to
win.”
Of the ease of the Cougar
win, Livi said, “When you
watch us play Oregon, it’s like
we were playing high school
guys.”
Midfielder Sean Kelly
seemed to echo Livi’s
statements about the game.
“The score was 4-2, but it
wasn’t that close,” Kelly said.
“They weren’t even in the
game.”
Some of his teammates
had refered go Livi’s goals as
“garbage goals,” but Szanto
prefers to think ot Livi’s out-put
of the last two games as an ex­
ample of the type of player Livi
is.
“There’s no such thing as
a garbage goal,” Szanto stated.

“It takes a special talent to be at
the right place at the right time.
He (Livi) has the instinct to be
there for the rebound. We play
soccer to score goals, not to be
pretty.”
The opponent the
Cougars will be facing this
Saturday will be decided today
by the outcome of a contest
between Oregon and Oregon
State on OSU’s home field in
Corvallis. If Oregon State
defeats the Ducks, as Szanto
feels they will, the Cougars will
play OSU on OSU’s home field
where they lost a 3-0 decision
to the Beavers earlier this
season.
In preparation for the
game with OSU in Eugene’s
Parker Stadium, the team has
been practicing in Randall Hall
Gymnasium and may practice
in Portland’s Civic Stadium
later this week.
The reason for the change
in practice location Szanto said,
is to help the players prepare
for the astro-turf surface of
Autzen Stadium.
Cougar Tales-Livi ex­
pressed extreme confidence in
his own ability to help his team
this Saturday. “I’m optimistic I
can do it again. I’m ready to
bring out my best this time,” he
said.
The Cougars finished the
regular season with an over-all
won-Iost-tied record of 6-4-1.
They were 4-2-1 in Oregon

Men’s x-country to defend Regional crown
By Tracy M. Sumner
Of The Print
For the first time this
season, the Clackamas Com­
munity College men’s cross­
country team is 100 percent
healthy. One look at the defen­
ding region 18 champions
shows that the Cougar’s clean
bill-of-health came none too
soon. •
-
The course of South­
western Community College in
Coos Bay, Oregon is the scene
of the Oregon Community Col­
lege Athletic. Association
Region 18 meet this Saturday.
The Cougars, currently
ranked third nationally, will
have three other nationally
ranked teams in the meet along
with several highly touted in­
dividuals. Obviously, the team
will have to be in top form for
this weekend’s meet.
Cross-country Coach Kel­
ly Sullivan is aware of the talent
of the opposition, but is confi­
dent of his team’s chances for a
regional championship.
“If we run as well as we
can this Saturday, we should
win it. This is the first meet of
the season where everybody is
healthy. We should be 100
percent,” Sullivan stated.
“I’m really confident this
season,” he said. He also said
that his top seven runners, the
athletes who figure in the team
scoring in the meet, are depen­
dable runners, not prone to
“choking.”
Besides Clackamas,
Southern Idaho, currently
ranked fourth in the nation,
North Idaho (Eighth), Lane
Community College (Tenth),
all carry national ranking into
the meet. Lane is a member of
the OCCAA (the league that,
until this year, Clackamas was
a member of) and according to
league rules, is ineligible for a
nationals berth.
As a team, Southern
Idaho is seen by Sullivan as
providing the toughest com­
petition in the meet for the
Cougars. Southern Idaho
returns four of its top five run­
ners including three All-
Americans.
Southern Idaho’s team is
headed by Christy Davids, a
second year runner from South
Africa. Davids finished 12th in
the Region 18 meet last year
and seventh in the National
Junior College Athletic
Association Nationals meet.
Christy Davids of North
Idaho (no relation to Christy
Davids of South Idaho, but also
a native of South Africa) heads
a list of individual competition
at the meet. Davids was Region
18 meet champion in 1981 and
finished second in the Na­
tionals meet.
Running the first position
for Clackamas will be second-
year man Tony Macey.
Macey’s accomplishments for
this season include a new
school record in the five-mile
course. He finished the course
in 24:12 for the new College
standard.
Last season, Macey finish­
ed fourth in the Regionals and
fifth in the Nationals meet.
Ken Velasquez went
through a tough season,
fighting injuries all the way, but
is 100 percent healthy and
should be ready to run a strong
race this Saturday, Sullivan
feels. Velasquez is a veteran of
the Nationals wars and is a
good bet to repeat his NJCAA
appearance.
The other five runners

The College will be
holding co-ed intramural
volleyball for Clackamas Com­
munity College students.
Teams are to be made up of
four men and four women.

who will figure in the team’s
scoring are Brian Abshire,
John Hanson, Kevin MacDer-
mott, Steve Gogl, and Jeff
Franklin. Sullivan expressed
his confidence that any of these
runners could place high for
the Cougars.
“We’ve got three or four
guys on our team that could be
individual (Regional) champs,”
Sullivan said. “I think we’re
capable of taking seven of the
top twelve spots in the
regionals. Hopefully we’ll take
five of the top eight spots.
That’s asking a lot, but that’s
our goal.”
“I don’t think we’re over­
confident,” Sullivan said.
“That’s because we really
haven’t put it together as a
team yet. As a team, we
haven’t proved a damn thing.”
The time for proof comes
this Saturday.
