The sun was shining on OC’s
Pioneer Stadium last Wednesday
afternoon. The Clackamas wom
en’s soccer team beamed just as
brightly with a 3-0 win against
the Lakers of Southwestern
Oregon Community College.
The Cougars attacked often,
but couldn’t find clear shots.
No. 4 Khadijah Kirkland made
her way up-field early in the
.game and sent a nice cross in
front of the Lakers goal but it
went out. The Cougars continued
to attempt offensive plays but
the Lakers' goalkeeper Cassidy
Crandall defended well. Crandall
‘ snatched a straight shot from No.
2 Hope Butler in the opening
stanza. »

Early in the first half, the
plays were aggressive, but
lacked set-up. Janjne Szpara, the
Cougars' head coach was on it,
she instructed the team to use
better tactics.
“Guys, stop running forward
all the time, switch!” shouted
Szpara.
Butler drove forward
and passed to No. 8 Megan

Sophomore midfielder Hope Butler takes an early shot at the Lakers ’goal. The Lakers ’goal keeper Cassidy Crandal stopped the attempt and made 10 saves
totalthroughout the game.
Luckenbach who found the ball
right in front of goal. With the
first of her two attempts at the
beginning, Luckenbach shot,
but Crandall denied the score.
No. 17 Claudia Flores took two
consecutive shots during the first
half. The first attempt was halted
with a save by Crandall and the
next went just barely too wide.
Later, Flores had. a third attempt
with a long shot, but it went too
high.
After a foul by the Lakers,
No. 5 Marci Haynes took a free
kick for the Cougars that lobbed
over the defense, but Crandall
defended the follow-up. Shortly
after, No. 11 Tahni Harr found
herself in position to launch a
long shot that missed, just barely
too wide of the Lakers' goal.
Goalkeeper Melanie Trumbull’s
voice rang out clear from the
opposite side of the field as her
team marked-up for the Lakers'
goal kick.
“Get to the ball first, you
better get that ball first,” yelled
Trumbull.
No. 20 Tori Roberts hustled
in response to of Trumbull’s
rallying ciy. Roberts struck her
third and best goal attempt of the
first half. It was a solid shot, but
went just wide and hit the out
side of the net. After the Lakers
next goal kick, No. 19 Olivia
Thoroughman drove the ball to
the penalty box, but Crandall
stepped-up and defended the
Lakers' goal aggressively.
The Lakers were able to take
the action back to the Cougars'
side o f the field. Trumbull
defended the resulting attack.
The Cougars regained the offen
sive and towards the end of the
first half, No. 9 Stephanie Corea
struck a nice shot, but the tena
cious Crandall saved it. The
Lakers' goalkeeper seemed
to home-in on everything the ,
Cougars tried to slip past her.
Crandall aggressively intercepted
a pass to No. 10 Hristy Prado,
then another long shot by the
Cougars.
Although the Cougars con
trolled most of the first half, the
Lakers' defense was enough to
keep the score 0-0 at halftime.

What comes to mind when
you think o f retail? Department
store clerks in formal dress,
behind glass counters, boxed
into sections of clothing, jew
elry, shoes and housewares?
Or the kiosk attendants, vari
ously attired, vainly vying with
each other to attract the next
customer? Or the food court
vendors, in uncomfortable uni
forms, colorfully hawking their
free samples? These are images
o f retail from most high school
students’ nightmares, before
learning there is life after mini
mum wage.
“Especially for folks now,”
said Paul Moredock, project for
ACT-On, a federal grant that
promotes retail management
careers. “I don’t'think they real
ize retail can lead them to: A)
great wages, and B) opportuni
ties they never thought were
possible.” .

The Oregon Employment
Division (OED) lists the aver
age yearly wages for super
visors and managers of retail
workers in Clackamas County
as $42,375 per year, roughly
twenty dollars an hour, over
double the current rate o f
minimum wage. These types
o f jobs are what the Retail
Management Certificate is tai
lored to facilitate for Clackamas
Community College
students. Moredock
expounds
CCC’s role
future o f retail.
“Clackamas is uniquely
poised to not only provide the
educational opportunity, but
then to be able to — through a
federal grant « to have career
coaches who can work with
students who are interested in
these kinds .of occupations
and find them jobs that have
a pretty good annual salary.5'
