1987 TIGER SOCCER PREVIEW

Coach Peter Bermel's fifth season at Memphis State was his best year, as heguided his Tigers to a 14-4-2 mark and also to the Metro Conference Invitationaltitle. The 1986 season brought a lot of excitement to the soccer program, but thisseason could be a year that Coach Bermel and his players may never forget.

Bermel has been building his team with highly talented players since soccerbecame a varsity sport in 1982. The Tigers welcome back nine lettermen thisyear after losing five to graduation.

Players not returning include the team's second and third leading scorers, RossKuns and Tony Bridges, along with Ron Ferrara, Pat Fischer and Mike Kauker,who will join former Tiger Paulo Aur as an assistant to Bermel.

Of the returning players, last year's top scorer Donal McDonagh and forwardJohn Cooke assume the leadership roles on the team. After an injury-filled 1986season, E.J. Gilley returns as the top goalkeeper with junior Matt Price backinghim up. Price did an excellent job of filling in at goal, when Gilley was lost for theseason because of a leg injury.

Coach Bermel is excited about the newcomers this season. The defenderpositions are much improved with the additions of Karl Spilker, JeffKonieczny, Johnny Norris and Scott Turner. They join returners JimmyHolland, and George Musicante as contenders for the two starting spots.

Memphis State is expected to get more goal production from its group oftalented attackers. McDonagh, a junior, seems to have the starting midfielderposition nailed down, however, newcomers Greg Locks and Jon Goad willsee some playing time as well. David Tappan, Troy Piel, Rob! Kaukerand Tony Melkent will also see action at midfield this season.

Last year, Kuns and McDonagh combined for 48 points at the forwardpositions. This year, German import Morten Akerfors and newcomer TrevorBuckland head a list of seven players expected to see a lot of playing time.Cooke, a senior and Memphis State's all-time leading scorer, will add depth andexperience along with sophomore David Poczobut, freshman Rob Allen,senior Jeff Breslau and Sergio Musicante.

As Memphis State's talent gets richer, the schedule gets tougher. The Tigersare considered one of the more improved teams in the country, and they willget the chance to prove it as they play such soccer giants as Indiana, Evansville,Alabama A&M, North Texas State and Western Kentucky. Ten exciting homegames will be featured beginning with the opener on September 4 againstSouthern Illinois-Edwardsville.

With the soccer program growing by leaps and bounds, who knows where theTigers will end up this year?
