Moeller beats mirror-image Lakota for district crown

BY TIM PENNINGTON Enquirer contributor

SOCCER

About the only thing the Moeller and Lakota boys soccer teams ~on't have in common these days ~re their respective school colors.

Beyond that, it is very hard to tell the two teams apart. The big ~ifference: Moeller is the Division [-Cincinnati I district champion after knocking off the Thunderbirds, 2-0, at Sycamore High School.

Moeller, the Enquirer city champion this season, will play Centerville Wednesday in the regional semifinals at Lakota. The Elks beat Beavercreek, 2-0, Satur-

day.

Anderson won the city's other Division I district championship, knocking off La Salle, 5-0. The Redskins play Wayne on Wednesday at Centerville High School in the other regional semifinal.

The similarities between the Crusaders and their counterparts at Lakota are quite striking, if one considers the recent history of the two teams.

Moeller coach Randy Hurley coached under Lakota's Steve Cummins. Both of Hurley's assis-

tants are graduates of Lakota. Five of the Moeller starters are from the West Chester area. '"We knew this would be a very emotional game because of the connections," Hurley said. "Because of that, I expected this game to be anything but perfect, and it wasn't. If it was, I would have been shocked."

The Crusaders (18-0-1) received goals from Greg Ruebusch and Brian Miller in each half in pulling out the win against Lakota, which was ranked No. 5 in the Enquirer coaches poll.

It was the first Moeller win against Lakota after two consecu-

tive losses in the district tournament, the most recent coming last fall when the Thunderbirds won, 2-1, in overtime. . ' "We just didn't finish anything off tonight," Cummins said. "We let the first goal in, but the second one was my goal, because I had the team pushing up and they scored on us. Count that one against me."

Ruebusch's goal was set up by senior Dave Necessary's rocket throw-in that Miller got a foot on before Ruebusch put it in the net.

The final goal came when Moeller's Jim Frondorf pulled Lakota keeper Adam Snow. out of the net and got a shot off, which Miller

retrieved and scored on.

The shutout for Crusader goalie Adam Lux was his 11th this year, a new single-season school record. ..,. Anderson. 5, La Salle 0, Division I district Championship at Anderson- Brent Rosser scored twice for the Redskins en route to a 5-0 shutout over La Salle.

Ozgur Mert opened the scoring for Anderson 1:15 into the game.

Rosser followed with another goal three minutes later as Anderson went to halftime with a comfortable 3-0 lead.

Anderson plays the winner of the Huber Heights Wayne-Dayton Carroll game Wednesday at 7 p.m.

at Centerville. ..,. Summit Country Day 5, Indian Hill 2, Division II district championship at Summit - The Silver ¡Knights exploded for three quick goals in the first half en route to their third consecutive district championship. ..,. Mason 6, Kings 2, Division II district championship at Kings - Bernard Stoppa scored off a pass from Ryan Miller in the first two minutes of the game, setting the stage for the Comet victory.

Mason advances to the regional semifinals on Tuesday, taking on Summit Country Day at Sycamore.

goal, Turpin coach John Basalyga kept his crew in the game by constantly sending in fresh substitutes, trying to ·f,~cdr Anderson down enough to get a shot off against the Redskin net.

It didn't help Turpin any, though, to have four starters sitting out the game nursing injuries.

"We never dwelled on having those guys out injured, and it shouldn't have affected us," said Turpin midfielder Mike Meyers. "We had rotten luck. Every time we had a chance to score, we missed our opportunities.''

Anderson goalie Dustin Durnin played a major role in keeping Turpin's shots out of the net as he made 10 saves in registering his 11th shutout of the season.

"We were frustrated by them in the first half, but we kept our heads in the game," said Anderson's Andy Perzigian. "They are a very tough team to play. They come right at you every time."

Sullivan said his team benefited from playing Turpin twice already this year, even though the two teams split 2-1 decisions.

"We saw some things from the previous games that helped us tonight," Sullivan said.

"You're bound to learn something eventually."

Shutout: Durnin (10 saves). Goal: Rosser. Records: Anderson 15-1·2, Turpin n..IO..l

Moeller, unbeaten and top ranked in The Enquirer's coaches poll, won its 17th game of the season Tuesday, knocking off Winton Woods, 4-1,. at Sycamore in boys soccer tournament action.

Mter taking a 3-0 lead in the first half, the Crusader defense took over, allowing Winton Woods only one shot on goal.

The scoring started on a throw-in by Dave Necessary that was deflected into the net by Warrior goalie Mike Gall for a 1-0 Crusader advantage.

Moeller advances to the district championship game Saturday against Lakota. .., Lakota 3, Fairfield 1, Division I at Hopewell Elementary - Totn Dunlap, Lyle Stetzer and Jason Recher each scored, leading the T-Birds to their second victory of the season over the Indians.

Senior midfielder Kyle Vonderhaar assisted on the goal by Recher, tying the single-season record of 14 set by Billy Simpson in 1981. _· .., La Salle 3, Milford 1, Division I at Milford - The Lancers rallied froin a 1-0 deficit to knock off the Eagles. .

Mter Aaron DeN u gave the Eagl~s a 1-0 lead off an assist from Nick Ch~r­ ney 15 minutes into the game, LaS~ came alive.

Doug Bunker tied it five minutes later and Mike Kuhl then scored on a penalty kick 10 minutes before half~ time.

"It's always disappointing to give up a penalty kick," Milford coach Alan Grothaus said. "It's a mistake we made, and they finished it."

Moeller joins elite with top tourney seed

BY TIM PENNINGTON Enquirer contributor

SOCCER

Randy Hurley won't know if the Moeller soccer team he coaches will be the new No. 1 team in the city until The Enquirer coaches polls are announced Wednes_day.

But he is sure of one thing the Crusaders received the top seed in their sectional for the district tournament set to begin Oct. 18. The pairings were drawn by coaches Saturday morning at Northwest High School.

"This is a first for Moeller soccer " said Hurley, whose team was No: 2 behind Anderson in the most recent coaches poll. "We've been seeded before, but never at the top. It's a nice feeling." _ , Hurley will get a tru~r p1ct~;~re of how well his team 1s playmg when the Crusaders host No. 3 St. Xavier Tuesday evening. A victory over the Bombers could go a long way in giving Moeller its first city championship in soccer. _ "This district tournament 1s wide open," Hurley said. "There are so many outstanding teams Anderson, St. Xavier, La Salle, Oak Hills. It's too close to call."

Anderson which suffered its first loss of the season Tuesday ¡ Turpin, was the other No. 1 P Turpin, which got t'

seed in the tourney, elected to play in Anderson's .half of the bracket instead of opting for No. 2 St. Xavier's bracket.

Anderson plays the winner of the Glen Este-New Richmond contest on Oct. 22.

"We can't even think about playing Turpin again," said Anderson coach Brian Sullivan. "We only beat Glen Este, 2-1, this season, and they ended up tying Turpin.

We can't look ahead of ourselves."

Summit and Mason received the top seeds in the Division II districts, which open Oct. 20.

Glen Este, St. Ursula, Oak Hills, and Lakota received the top seeds in the four girls districts. The girls tournament begins Oct. 15.

Tournament director Ann Dustin said that beginning next season the girls tournament will be separated into two divisions, much hke the boys tournament is now. _ The Ohio High School Athletic Association would not sanction two girls tournaments until at le~st 251 schools fielded teams, which occurred this past season.

'If UD is going to meet the goals it is beginning to shape for itself, we have to get more alumni involved in all aspects of University life.' information to be gathered.

Early cross-referencing of the survey, for example, reveals that graduates of the '90s have a greater interest than those of other decades in a wide variety of programs.

And, for example, if, as the sunrey says, nearly all the respondents are proud to be UD alumni and nearly three out of four want more information from UD, what can the University do to raise the alumni gi,~ng rate, currently lower than one out of four?

What can UD do to serve the

alumni of today and tomorrow? What can UD do to involve alumni more deeply in its mission, in envisioning its future, in developing its dreams and in fulfilling them?

The UD community will seek answers to those questions not only in the data of future surveys but also in the results of a series of focus groups to be held, as Ary says in the accompanying questionand-answer article, this coming year in major UD markets.

Finding Fran Ary•, as vice president for University advancement, oversees the University s alumni relations, public relations and fund-raising operations. As the head of an interdivisional marketing team on campus, she here provides answers to some key questions on the significance and the context of the National Alumni Association 's survey.

What was the purpose of the study conducted among UD alumni?

If UD is going to meet the goals it is beginning to shape for itself, we have to get more alumni involved in all aspects of University life. For instance, understanding alumni opinions of the goals of the University is very important. What we learned in this sunrey is that the respondents agreed that the University must produce graduates prepared for careers, must provide high educational value at an affordable cost and must provide learning connected to the challenges of the 21st century. These are very ambitious goals, and alumni support

UD fans using a college basketball newsgroup to follow the Flyers prompted an outpouring of interest in using the Internet for sports news ... and more. Some recent electronic developments: • Michael Goodin '84 "never touched a computer until after college," but he's taken the lead iri bringing more Flyer fans online. In November, he established a Dayton Flyers bulletin board for alumni to chat about the Flyers and memories, ranging from local bars to Christmas on Campus. To subscribe to the Sj1ring /99j

in achieving them is critical.

What did you learn about alumni desire to support the University?

Interestingly enough, the survey says virtually all respondents are proud to be UD alumni and nearly three out of four want more information from UD. One would expect an institution with UD's character and caliber and Fran Ary this level of pride to have a donor participation rate in a range between 30 and 40 percent. We have averaged, however, roughly 23 percent over the last decade.

Obviously this will have to be explored further.

We also learned what alumni want in the way of activities and programs, which should help shape the bridge from pride to involvement. For example, what alumni want from their chapters includes six items with an interest rate of more than 40 percent: • career-oriented network programming, • continuing education programs in chapter areas, • presentations by faculty I administrators at chapter functions, • regular publication of a chapter newsletter, • increased information about chapter meetings and events, and • chapter luncheon or dinner meetings.

Are there other initiatives being contemplated?

The UD National Alumni Association Board of Governors is in the process of drafting a response to the Vision 2005 strategic planning process. This input is critical, and we will continue to hold focus groups through the coming year in major markets to deepen our understanding of alumni interests, opinion and ways to increase ties to the University.

In addition, we will ask the executive committee of the alumni board of governors to undertake a strategic planning process focusing on achieving increased alumni involvement in key University initiatives.

These strategic planning efforts will no doubt yield a series of other initiatives - to be reported in UDQ- that will help involve more alumni in the life of the University.

What did you find in the area of communications?

Both specific questions and an open-ended question revealed that alumni now, as in 1989, desire to hear more from the University. The University of [' 11

Anderson gets No. 1 nod over rival St. X

BY TIM PENNINGTON Enquirer Contributor

The kickoff of the boys high school soccer season finds - surprise! - Anderson and St. Xavier at the 1-2 spots in the preseason Class AAA poll.

Really, it's no surprise at all. . That's the way things have been in the area for most of the last decade or so. If it isn't Anderson on top, then it's St. Xavier, with the other most often following right behind.

"The rivalry between us and Anderson has been pretty good for soccer ! over the 1988 years," said St. 1. Anderson Xavier coach 2. St Xavier Paul Rockwood, 1989 I <r former pro1 Anderson

1 Either Anderson or St. Xavier has been ranked No. 1 in the polls every year since 1988, when Roger Bacon got the top nod. The Redskins and Bombers have met during the regular season each year, and ultimately meet in the postseason in a championship match.

This year should be no different. Anderson not onlr returns Enquirer AllStars Brent Rosser (first team) and Andy Perzigian (second team), but has added three talented transfers.

St. Xavier, which lost only one game a season ago, is strong from the goal forward. Goalie Scott Berge was a secondteam Enquirer All-Star.

Last year's regular-season matchup attracted more than 1,500 fans to a 0-0 draw; The two teams met several weeks later in the district fmals, when St. Xavier prevailed before another sellout.

Last Thursdar the two teams met in a scrimmage and attracted about 1,000 fans. This season's game is slated for Oct. 13 at St. Xavier.

"I think one thing you'll fmd out about us and St. Xavier is that it's a very clean game," said Anderson coach Brian Sullivan, who played for the Redskins as a keeper from 1982 to 1986.

Moeller dumps McNicholas, wins 6th straight Ruebusch scores pair of goals in 5-l victory

BY TIM PENNINGTON Enquirer contributor

Moeller High School has rather quietly become one of the city's top soccer programs, but the Crusaders seem ready for bigger things now.

The Crusaders (6-0) made another stride toward wider recognition with a 5-1 win over McNicholas on Saturday at Metalex Soccer Complex, West Chester.

Moeller, No.3 in the city behind Anderson and St. Xavier, is trying to prove that not all athletes at the school are tight ends or free safeties.

"We know what the school's reputation is as far as football is concerned, but we think we do well ourselves," said junior midfielder

BOYS SOCCER Greg Ruebusch.

"We realize that to get recognition, we have to play well and win," he said.

Ruebusch, 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, showed why he is fast becoming one of the best players in the city, scoring the Crusaders' first two goals against McNicholas, No. 2 in The Enquirer's Division II-III poll.

The Rockets saw what makes

Ruebusch so good, as he moved through the Rocket defense with both power and agility.

"Ruebusch has such good size to go along with his speed, plus he plays such a physical game," said McNicholas coach Brian Berning.

"Their entire team is physical.

That's why they play as well as they do."

Berning's team held close during the first half Saturday, and outshot the Crusaders 8-5 during that period.

The Rockets' Keith Zurmehly put his team on the board midway through the first half to make the score 2-1, but Moeller took control during the second half.

Goals by Brandon Bonham, Jim Frondorf and Mike Glynn gave the Crusaders a commanding lead.

Moeller finished the 1993 season 10-7-2 with a young squad.

Players such as Ruebusch are still developing their games.

"Last year was almost a developmental year for us," said Moe!-

ler coach Randy Hurley, whose team was eliminated in the district semifinals. "We are still learning the game, but we are getting better every time."

Moeller will play 10 teams this season that have appeared in the state championship game, forcing the Crusaders to grow up in a hurry.

"We play the tough teams, but that's how we learn to play well in the tough games," Hurley said.

Goals: Moe-Ruebusch 2, Bonham, Frondorf, Glyoo.

Moeller plants top seed

Heading into the district tournament with an unbeaten record through last weekend, Moeller's soccer team has earned the top seed for the first time in the school's history.

"This has been a total team effort," pointed out coach Randy Hurley after his Crusaders defeated St. Xavier and La Salle last week to clinch no worse than a tie for the title in the Greater Catholic League.

With tough tests coming up this week against Kettering Alter (last Tuesday) and Elder Saturday at 2 p.m. at Metalex Park, Moeller owned a 13-0-1 record marred only by a 0-0 tie with Covington Catholic. . "It's been an incredible year," Hurley pointed out, "We've had balanced scoring, outstanding defense and great goal-tending by Adam Lux, with eight goals allowed and six shutouts in 13

games." ¡ After receiving a first-round bye in the district meet, the Crusaders will face the winner of the Middletown-Talawanda contest Saturday, Oct. 22, at Blue Ash. Last week's wins were over St. Xavier, 3-1, before a crowd of about 1,500 at Blue Ash, and over La Salle, 2-1, with Greg Ruebusch scoring once in both games. Brian Miller and Brendan Bonham both now have nine goals and. Rue busch has eight, while midfielder Jim Frondorf has five and three assists.

On defense, Dave Necessary is senior stopper and co-captain with Miller, while Matt Daggy and Roby Lymongrover are marking backs and Matt Bamgraf is sweeper. Other starting midfielders are Ryan Wellbrock, who paces the club in assists with six and Matt Lyons. :'We've played a tough schedule" Hurley said, "and some of ou~ top wins have been over

By Joe Minster Press contributor

Moeller's undefeated soccer team has booted its way into today's Division I regional semifinals against Centerville at Hopewell Elementary School in West Chester.

Moeller and Centerville will meet at 7 p.m., with Anderson opposing Huber Heights Wayne at Centerville in the other regional semifinals. The winners will clash in the regional finals Saturday at Fairfield High School.

Now 18-0-1 on the season, the Crusaders advanced to the regionals with a 2-0 victory over Lakota in the district championship, with Greg Ruebusch and Brian Miller both scoring their 12th goals of the season.

"Both teams had chances early, but we got another outstanding defensive effort from Matt Bourgraf, Dave Necessary, Robbie Lymangrover, Matt Daggy and Adam Lux in goal," Moeller ¡coach Randy Hurley said.

- Lux had 10 saves against Lakota in. registering his ninth shutout--of the season, and has allowed just. 10 goals in 18

games.

In posting their best record ever, the Crusaders have outscored the opposition, 60 goals to 12. "They've played so well as a team," Hurley pointed out. "And they always have managed to find a way to win."

Four members of the team were named to the All-Greater Catholic League first-team, Ruehust:h, Miller, Lux and Boumraf.

Second-team selections .have been Necessary, Lymangrover, Jim Frondorf and Brendan Bonham.

To reach the district finals, Moeller turned back Winton Woods, 4-1, with Ruebusch, Bonham and Frondorf showing the way.

But Steve Cummins, coach of the Lakota boys soccer team, applauds the rule.

"It all comes· down to the coaches having control of their players during a game, and I'm tired of seeing that control lost on numerous occasions," he said, Cummins would also like to see stricter penalties on coaches who lose their composure and are red carded from games, ''I'd like to see some coaches get fined for any action like that," said Cummins, who recently won a national championship in summer select play.

"I think the time has come where people need to demand a little bit better behavior in athletics, and I think this is a good way to start," he said.

Anoth~r change is the substitution rule for players who are ejected.

In past years any player removed from a game for receiving two yellows or one red card was not allowed to be replaced on the field and the players' team was forced to play shorthanded.
