More road tunes for NIU soccer

By CHRIS TAGLER | October 21, 1993

NIU's men's soccer team has been playing to a familiar tune lately. However, for head coach Willy Roy's squad, "On the Road Again" doesn't sound quite as good as "Home Sweet Home." Nonetheless, the Huskies travel to Ohio this weekend for a pair of Mid-Continent...

Crabtree to miss home finale

By RICH CARLSON | October 19, 1993

The prognosis for Saturday's starting quarterback against University of Southwestern Louisiana is: Scott Crabtree out, Ron Reichert in. The shoulder separation Crabtree suffered early in last weekend's victory will keep Crabtree sidelined indefinitely....

High marks lead to disappointing end

By LIZ GERNAND | October 19, 1993

While participating at a tournament hosted by Northwestern University Monday and Tuesday, the NIU men's golf team found themselves up against the best of the best.

The field was graced by six of the top 20 teams in the nation, including last year's top team, the University of Arizona.

NIU was invited to the tournament by one of head coach Jack Pheanis' former standouts, Jeff Mory, who is now the head coach for Northwestern's squad.

The Huskies' tournament highlight was their first round total of 306 which put them one stroke ahead of Arizona.

NIU was led by Jason Samuelian who finished the first round of play with a 74, just two above par for Royal Melborne. He fell back in the next two rounds, posting a 77 and 79 respectively, to end the tourney with a 230.

Samuelian's 79 in round three was characterstic of the team's performance on Tuesday.

"Basically we collapsed today, it's frustrating," Pheanis said.

NIU's performance was frustrating because they just came off a good tournament at Illinois State University and hoped to finish their season on a similar note.

The third round of play took place at Kemper Lakes (par 72), which, like Royal Melborne, is a course used for PGA events. Pheanis descrbed the course as the toughest his team has played on since he began his coaching career here at NIU in 1968.

John Larson came in for the Huskies with a 76 for round one, an 83 for round two, and finished the final round with a 79 for a 238 total for the tourney.

Andy Podolak ended the tornament just two strokes behind Larson with a 240, posting a 77, 78, 85.

Niclas Jinglov came away with a 76, 83, 84 to finish with a 243 for the tournament.

To round out the group was Derek Schoonhoven who struggled throughout the tournament. He posted a consistent 88, 86, 88 to finish with a 262.

The toughest thing for Pheanis was to see his team struggle because he knows that they are capable of better play.

"I think we're just better than we played today," Pheanis said.

NIU will be looking back on their performance at the ISU tournament to build on for their spring season.

Best of the rest prove their worth

By RICH CARLSON | October 18, 1993

There was something different about Saturday's homecoming victory over University of the Pacific. It had nothing to do with LeShon Johnson running for over 200 yards because he does that often. It was different however because of the cast of Huskies that...

Off-weekend no reason to hit panic button

By MARC WESNER | October 18, 1993

The NIU women's volleyball team did something they weren't used to doing last weekend. They lost two out of three matches. That doesn't happen very often. The last time the Huskies lost two in one weekend, was almost a year ago when the squad traveled...
