SOCCER TEAM FINISHES SECOND IN N.C.C.A.A. While the basketball team was starting their season, the soccer team was closing their season at the NCCAA Na- tional Championship in Florida. At the tournament, Cedarville played the sec- ond ranked team, Covenant, in the semi-finals. After a hard fought battle, the Jackets came out on top 2-1. Both goals came from freshmen Mark Price. The next night Cedarville took on Mes- siah College in a game to decide the national championship. The Jackets led 1-0 at halftime, but Messiah came back to take the game 2-1. Senior co- captain Dave Cox (bottom right pic- ture, in the middle) was named the Most Valuable Offensive Player of the tournament, despite the fact that he played both games with an injured leg and scored no goals. Coach John McGillivray (top picture, receiving tro- phy from Dr. Dixon) was named NCCAA Soccer Coach of the Year. This was the first appearance for the soccer team at the NCCAA Nationals.
