Wesleyan makes new addition to
athletic program with soccer field
Rhonda Freeman
Sports Editor ■
In addition to "the new
women's soccer team, Texas
Wesleyan is also building a new
soccer field at the corner of
South Collate! Street and
Lancaster Avenue. The Held is
being funded from the Nicholas
and Louella Martin Fund at The
Community Foundation of
Metropolitan Tarrant County.
"Nick and Lou Martin are
continuing to play a major role
in the revitalization of Texas
Wesleyan's historic campus,"
Wesleyan President Jake B.
Schrum said in a
Communications Dept. release.
"The Nicholas and Louella
Martin Fund at the Community
Foundation of Metropolitan
Tarrant County has provided
significant resources to move
and restore the Baker Martin
Freshman Admission Center
and their largesse has totally
funded the deep interest in
Wesleyan, the children in this
community and the good of
Fort Worth. We are deeply grat-
ified by their recent
philanthropy, which will pro-
vide Wesleyan with its first new
sports venue since the 1960's."
The field will be equipped
with telecommunication and
electrical lines provided by
Southwestern Bell and TU
Electric. It also is being built
with an irrigated field.
Coach Gilbert Richardson
said, "It's wonderful, it's in a
good location and is going to
help with recruiting."
The field is also going to be
used for intramural activities
and camps.
"The soccer complex will
provide a place for men and
women student/athletes to par-
ticipate in intercollegiate soccer
on campus, provide intramural
and club fields for all students,
as well as provide facilities for
outreach programs to the local
community," Dr. Skip Applin
said. The field is expected to be
done by the 1999-2000 season.
Volleyball beats Concordia
Lisa Orlando
Staff Writer
The Lady
Rams volleyball
team started out
Friday's game
against. the
Concordia
Tornados with a
rally of excite-
ment, while
Concordia ral-
lied with nothing
but mistakes.
At one point
in the first match
Wesleyan held
the Tornados 11-
1. Concordia
began to come
back 11-7 but
was shut down
by consecutive
kills on behalf of
the Lady Rams.
Match one ended
15-8.
Match two
started out much
of the same way,
keeping
Concordia strug-
gling to keep up,
6-0.
Head Coach
Rick Johansen
said. The first
six points of
game two had to
have been the
best we have
played all year."
Again the
Tornados rallied
to come back but
only at the
expense of a few
Wesleyan mis-
takes. The Lady
Rains took
match two 15-9.
The last
match started off
more competi-
tive point for
point. But after
Debi Zuffinetti
tied the game 4-4
with an ace, the
lady rams never
looked back and
look the game
15-12.
Johansen _ said
that the defense
he saw on Friday
night • Was.
"Great!" "We
have been play-
ing like this all
year, but we also
have been play-
ing very good
teams as well.
We can definite-
ly expect to see
this kind of per-
formancc
throughout the
remainder of the
season."

Men's soccer conquers Concordia but is
defeated by West Texas A &M Commerce
Kerri Clark
Staff Writer
There was no second guessing last
Monday's game against Concordia.
Wesleyan came out with the intention of
dominating the entire game. Within the
first half the men's soccer came through
by surpassing the Tornados 5-0.
Before they were able to start the
second half a fight broke out.
Usually a fight consists on one team
saying something to provoke the other
team, but in this case the fight was
between two Concordia players. As a
result the referee's called the game and
the score remained at 5-0, in favor of
Wesleyan.
In contrast to the called game on
Monday, Thursday's game against Texas
A&M had a totally different outcome.
West Texas A&M is a Division II team
usually ranked in the top 20 in the
nation. This game was a little more chal-
lenging in the aspect of talent.
The level of play was one step high-
er, therefore, Wesleyan had to be on top
of their game. They came out dominat-
ing the whole game only allowing them
to score once. "Once again we had many
opportunities, hut the referee hosed us
not giving us the opportunities to get
ahead," assistant CoachMedina.said.
Up until the very last second
Wesleyan continued to attempt to score
but their battling efforts were not able to
pull them through. The game ended with
a score of 0-1, with West Texas A&M
Commerce winning.
Women's soccer competes for top spot in conference
Kerri Clark
Staff Writer
With injuries still promi-
nent on Wesleyan's women's
soccer team, some players
were not able to participate.
As a result, Thursday's seven
hour road trip to Canyon,
Texas, was rough on the
women.
Once again the numbers
of Wesleyan's team played a
part in the outcome of the
game against West Texas
A&M. Though the women
are in shape the fact still
remains, when you play hard
for more than 45 minutes one
can and probably will become
tired. Basically, if they are
not ahead by the second half,
it is hard to get ahead in the
game.
Though they lost to West
Texas A&M, 2-1, they contin-
ue to play to get ahead,
working hard, fast and furi-
ously. „But, when your
stamina is depleted and no
energy is left ,as a whole the
team's level of play drops. "It
is disturbing when we work
hard and don't reap the bene-
fits," said sophomore
defender Kimmi Coleman.
"The season is far from
over and Wesleyan women
soccer are still in the running
for a top four spot in confer-
ence. Hopefully, they will
take each game and build
upon the positives of the
game", said Natasha Garcia.
