16 THE CHRONICIE SEPTEMBER 29. 1998 SPOMS NEWS Men’ s soccer loses for first time SLLUKEjZEBRAK^ __ Chronicle staff The Durham men’s soccer team, defending Ontario champions, lost for the first time this season after a suc- cessful opening. After winning the Durham College Showdown earlier this month, the team lost in the semi-finals of the Fanshawe Invitational tournament. Durham, ranked fifth in the nation, defeated the host Falcons, but lost in the final to Humber. DC beat Fanshawe 3-0 with goals from Chris Ncskovski, George Carvalho and James Prcscod, and advanced to the tournament final. Carvalho earned the player of the game award. Humber, nationally ranked 15th, shocked the Lords in a 3- 1 win in the final, taking first place. Chris Neskovski had tlic lone goal for DC, his second of the tournament. Head coach Stan Bombino said that his team had a real chance to win if they had more shots on the opposing keeper and could have benefit- ed from penalties tliat were not called. "They started chopping away at our players," he said. Bombino said the officials could have called two or three more penalty shots, but didn’t. "I don’t want to put any referees down," he said, "I don’t want to say we lost the game because of the referees, but sometimes there is that fac- tor." With this loss, Durham could see a lower national ranking in the next release by tlie Canadian College Athletics Association. Although this is a possibili- ty, Bombino doesn’t think Durham’s fifth place ranking should change. "I don’t sec why it should drop," lie said, "if anything, it should maintain. The word should get out tliat Durham is still the strong team." Although the men will sec a drop in their ranking, they are keeping high hopes.

"We arc looking forward to seeing Humber again in the Ontario finals," said Lords’ DC varsity golf season in full swing at Lakeridge invitational BY ViKKI SPENCER Chronicle staff The Durham varsity golf team’s season went into full swing Sept. 21, as they hosted the 13th Annual Golf Invitational at Lakeridge Links. The men’s team placed third out of eight, while individual player Lindsay Knocker finished in the middle of the three- woman field. It was a good showing for the school’s recently reborn golf squad, said coach Mike Duggan. "At least we’re back to show that Durham College and their golf program are back and they’re strong." Duggan also hopes the experience of finishing third will boost the team’s confi- dence as it heads into one more event leading up to the OCAA championships in early October. "You see the excitement in [the players] and they know we can do better." Durham had come into the clubhouse in second place, behind the powerhouse Georgian College team, when a strong finish by Kyle Kosky of Fleming College (Peterborough) knocked Durham back to third. The team was led by Matt Betts, who recorded a team- low 79, despite taking a 7 on Photo by VIkki Spencer Durham’s golf team had a strong showing as hosts at Lakeridge Links. the par-4 first hole, and finished fourth among the entire field of players. Kayle Matthews, an assistant pro at the Thornhill course, shot 83, while Bryan McNair and Lee Hummell each shot 85, to bring the team total to 332. Alternate player Matt Murdock came in at 87. Georgian, which finished second in last year’s OCAA championships, had a team total of 308, and Fleming (Peterborough) finished with 323. Duggan felt that the team held up well under the pres- sure of its first event, particu- larly given the fact that three of the four players are rook- ies. "That’s why we go and have the tournaments," he said. "It gives them the opportunity to get those nerves out of the way." Duggaji was also pleased with the play of all three women in the individual competition, noting that this is the first time women have ever competed in the Durhamtournament. Knocker shot 117, to place in between Georgian’s Sue Westwood (95), and Seneca’s Anastahia Spasopoulos (125). Both the men’s team and Knocker will face similar competition Sept. 25, at a tournament hosted by Seneca College, and Duggan expects that last year’s provincial champions from Humber College will also be thereto challenge his team. It is a challenge he feels his team Is ready to rise to. "They have the right attitude, which is so important in golf," said Duggan. "They have that hunger." defenceipan Shaun Plakmcycr. This optimistic attitude is what they will need to make it back to the provincial finals and repeat as Ontario champs, which Bombino believes is possible. "I can see us going to the’ provincials," he said. Before the tournament, in an exhibition game against the Whitby under-17 team, the Lords won 3-1, displaying awe- some defence and an exciting, offence; Most of the offence was sup- plied early by the Lords. Both James Prescod and Lennie Small had chances to open the scoring for Durham but were; stopped by Whitby’s defend- ers. Wliitby opened the scoring before the half. on a bad give- away by the Lords’ defence. After the half, the men put the game away with three unanswered goals, including impressive marks by Carvalho and Prescod. This was Whitby’s first loss to any team, including exhibition and regular season games. Durham opened up their regular season play on Sept. 25.

SPORTS NEWS Knocker breaks ground for women’s golf at Durham BY ViKKI SPENCER_______ Chronicle staff She may not be Tiger Woods, but Lindsay Knocker is a groundbreaker in the game of golf. She Is Durham College’s first woman golfer, and one of very few women players at the collegiate level. This past week, Knocker was among the first female players ever at Durham’s annual golf tournament, and when she heads to the provincial championships in October, she will play as an Individual, because there is not even a women’s team event in OCAA play. It is a situation that Knocker finds puzzling. "It seems kind of back- wards to me," said Knocker, who played team golf for Eastdale Collegiate through- out high school. "It isn’t good for someone like me," Knocker’s handicap is around 28, and while she may not win the Masters any time soon, she enjoys the game, and misses playing golf as a team sport. For now, Knocker is find- ing camaraderie with fellow individual players, like those she was paired with at the Durham tournament. Fnolo tiy Vikki Sponcor LINDSAY KNOCKER: DC’s lone woman golfer is leading the way for OCAA women’s team play. "We all kind of helped each other, gave each other pointers... it was just nice to play witli some other girls." Mike Duggan, coach of the varsity golf program, hopes that Knocker will become an example to other women who want to play the game at the collegiate level. "Lindsay’s going to be like an ambassador for us," Duggan said, adding that the presence of Knocker and oth- ers like her is what Is needed to bolster support for women’s team play in the OCAA. "That’s what we’ve been Durham athletic council offers lots of intramurals for students 3Y BARRY KIRKEY chronicle staff If you’re interested in playng sports, then intramurals ind extramurals could be for /ou.

Indoor soccer begins in the second semester during the floor hockey playoffs. McGarrell would like to have a softball tournament in BRETT MCGARRELL the first semester. There may be a barbecue and an awards ceremony at the pub, he said. Everybody can play if they’re interested," he said. He urges classes to join the co-ed leagues because everyone on the team will have the same spares. Individual students will be placed on teams that are short on players, he said. The leagues keep track of player statistics, and awards are given to the top scorer and goalie, he said. There is also an all-star game in the middle of the season. When playing floor hockey or indoor soccer students must wear proper gym attire and non-marking shoes. Students playing floor hockey are provided with sticks. "We supply the goalie equipment," McGarrell said. Students can pick up regis- tration forms at the student association centre. On the form, write what level you’ve played at in the sport. "We don’t want to stack teams," McGarrell said. There is a fee for joining. Ice hockey is $80 a player and floor hockey, soccer and softball are $20 a team. McGarrell is also trying to get a road hockey league started. They would like to play the games in the back parking lot, he said. He is also looking to start a nighttime volleyball league. "I haven’t seen too much Interest in it yet." The student association centre Is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. trying to do for the last five years or so, to get a women’s program, not only at our school, but in the OCAA." Knocker feels that there is enough interest among women in the game, but that many feel Intimidated at the prospect of playing competi- tively. "There was a girl in my program who wanted to try out, and Mike (Duggan) said there were four or five girls who showed interest. But girls don’t think they’re good enough," she said. Although she has been playing since the age of four- teen, Knocker is not a golf- aholic. She gets out about 10 times a summer, playing more this year because she joined the golf program. But her main intention is to enjov the game, not to win. "It’s just really for fun," she said. "It’s not like I’m going to be first, but that isn’t important." What is important, says Duggan, is that Knocker is bringing awareness to women’s golf and helping to pro- mote the sport. "She’s laying the ground- work for women’s golf at Durham College."
