Title
1982 Yearbook
Description
SOCCER
In the Fall of 1981, St. Ambrose College added a
new club sport to their list of recreational activities.
Dr. Michael Orfitelli, after being made aware of
the students' interest in soccer, decided to organize
a team. Financed through private parties, the soccer club of fourteen members managed to schedule
and play three games, winning one game over
Orian Soccer Club, and losing the other two.
The squad had quite a few greenhorns who quickly
improved under the guidance of veteran players
and Dr. Orfitelli, a former coach of an NAIA
championship team.
The squad hopes to schedule
more games with other area
colleges, even though they shall
maintain their club status for
a while. Becoming an
intercollegiate team, however,
looks like a strong possibility a
few years down the road if the
interest remains.
This year's team members include: front row, left to right:
Franciso Leza; Lee Hall; Alan
Ng. Second row: Doug Stull;
Dan Stoffel; Mark Trihble;
Khamsing Vang. Third row:
Spiros Liras; Jim Ray; Greg
Kinsella; Matt McElroy; Coach
Mike Orfitelli. Not pictured:
Richard Masters; Rob Gotter;
Keith Smith.
