Hard times have fallen upon
Cougar volleyball. Having lost
three straight matches the
volleyball' team lost yet
another to Mount Hood
Wednesday night.
After saying in the Oct. 15
issue of The Print, “We are
capable of beating them (Mt.
Hood)...we just have to play
better,” Coach Kathie Woods
and her team set out to do just
that and nearly did.
According to Woods her
team played very well and she
was not disappointed about
the outcome of the match. “I
am not upset that we lost. I
felt good about the way we

some of the things we’d work­

referring to specific things like
play running and technique
that they had worked on in
practice. Woods also remark­
ed on outstanding perfor­
mances by team members Jen­

Wendy Morton.
The College then played the
team that seems to have
become their arch rivals, Mt.

with scores of 9-15 and 7-15.

October 29, 1985
If four leaf clovers bring
good luck, then the College’s
soccer team could use a truck
load. Having no substitutes
but lots of injuries seem to be
the team’s luck this year.
Early in the season Jeff Ab­
bott was struck with an injury
that left the already benchless
team with only one sub. Now
with Abbott finally able to
play, yet another tragedy has
struck the unlucky team.
Oct. 23 the soccer team was
to go to Spokane to compete
with Spokane Community
College, but due to a serious
injury to Randy Brunlund and
a couple of members having to
work, the game was cancelled,
to be rescheduled later.
In Saturday’s play the team
came on strong early in the
first half after a goal was put
in by Beau Campbell, but
again due to the lack of
substitutes the team soon
became rundown and tired to
then be dominated by Edmon­
ton Community College. Ac­
cording to Mark Vass, the
team manager, the Cougars
were doing well after the score
was made, but seemed to lose
it when a mistake was made in
the fullback line. Vass said
that Tim Choquette kicked the
ball back to his own goal so his
goalie could throw it out, but
on the way to the goalies
hands the ball hit a hole and
slowed down just enough for
an opposing team member to
kick it into the net. After Ed­
monton scored three points in
the first half, they went on to
crush Clackamas 5-1.
In the second half Vass said
the team tried to come back,
but again injury showed it’s
ugly head. Tim Kay hurt his
thigh and was out the rest of
the game which left no bench.
According to Ryan Zook,
wind was also a major factor.
In the second half the team
was running against it, which
seemed to slow the Clackamas
effort down.
“I had a hard time clearing
the ball, it kept going back to
the other team. It was especial­
ly hard with the wind in my
face,” Zook said.
