| CLUB ROUNDUP: Lads lead division |
|
The Men's Soccer Club's experienced veterans and deep pool of
underclassmen have led them to stymie their opponents this season. The Lads are
off to their best start in five years with a 4-1-2 record and anticipate more
success as the second half of the season approaches.
"We feel very fortunate to have such an abundance of talent and skill to draw from this year," Michael McClintock, the club's president, said. "Although we have had strong squads in the past, we look for an even better performance from this year's Lads." The team started off the season strong, scoring seven goals and allowing two in victories over Lamar University and Sam Houston State University. After a loss to Southwest Texas State University, the team recovered with a 1-1 tie against the nationally ranked University of Texas. Consecutive victories against the University of Texas at San Antonio and Sam Houston State then put them in first place in their division. The team meets the University of Houston tomorrow and then travels to New Orleans to play Tulane University Sunday. Crew to battle at the Head of the Charles Another season of rowing is about to start for Rice Crew, this time in dramatic fashion. For the third year in a row, the Rice Rowing Club is sending crews to the world's largest two-day regatta, the Head of the Charles, in Boston, Mass., Oct. 17-18. Like last year, the club is sending both a men's and a women's four. The men's team includes sophomore Sloan Speck, senior Mark Zeller, senior Jameson James, junior Brian Green and senior coxswain Christi Calkins. The women are junior Alida Tallman, senior Kathryn Gibson, sophomore Lindsay Bonner, senior Adrienne O'Donnell and freshman coxswain Stacy Durbin. Last year's teams both finished in the top 20. There will be an official Rice Alumni reunion on the banks of the river tomorrow afternoon during the races. Both the men's and women's teams will be in bow No. 12. Other regattas the teams plan on attending include the Pumpkin Head in Austin Oct. 31 and the Head of the Chattahoochee in Gainesville, Ga., Nov. 7.
