The 1976 O.W.U. Soccer team’s success is due to the overpowering strength of eight Beta brothers. On the line, the team has All-American candidate Rick Brearton ’78. Rich is looking for his second twenty goal season this year. Complementing Rick on the line is John Spottord ’78. John leads the league in assists for two years and hopes to repeat again this year. At midfield, Don Minkler’79 is the main man. His outstanding offense and solid defense have made him one of the conference’s best halfbacks. Don also has added six goals and five assists. Playing next to Don is Mark Sommers ’78. “Mones” is coming back from knee surgery last year with nothing but desire and hustle. He is the team’s most improvedplayer by far this year. Pledge Charles Bucharach ’80 is filling the back up role in style by not allowing a goal in eight games so far. The team cannot exist without bench strength. The Betas are the main force on the bench as well. Lineman Joe Holden ’79 and Pledge Rich Peters ’80 have combinedforS goals this year. Filling in at midfield is Neil Ronk ’79 who is doing an outstanding defensive job. The team has the conference championship game left to play and we know that the Beta brothers will be very instrumental in the outcome.
