The grass was soft beneath their feet as they raced from one end to the
other, playing as if each stride was their last. A shot from eighteen slipped past
the goalie's hands and into the net; the feeling was definitely not as soft as the
grass they trampled on. But, the heads did not hang, instead they rose and
diligently played on.
As was the case with the Lady Vandal soccer team, perseverance was not
merely a necessity, it was an asset with the players.
"We finished the game; played on after each time the other team scored,"
remarked Mandi Mollerstuen, "we never lost by more than one goal to any team
all season."
Numerous players were recruited at the beginning of the season and added
depth to the second year team. Starters from the year before helped the
newcomers hone their skills. In tum, the newcomers refreshed the memories of
the veterans and together joined for a noteworthy performance and season.
Head coach Larry Foster stated, "Many players were unsure of themselves
but they came through. Overall, they improved significantly since last year."
