Ballweg Will Compete With U-16 National Soccer Team

Union Catholic midfielder Jessica Ballweg will participate with the US U-16 National Team at the US Soccer Federation’s 1999 Interregional Competition during Thanksgiving week in Tucson, Arizona.

Regional team members, representing the four regions of the United States at the U15 through U-18 age groups, will be competing along with the U16 National Team in an evaluation process, which could lead to their selection to the U-16, U-18 or U21 National Teams.

This event is one of the key steps used by the US Soccer Federation in its effort to develop a pool of players from which future US Women’s World Cup and Olympic teams can be selected.

Ballweg will soon be completing her year with the U-16 National Team, which is coached by April Heinrichs, a former captain of the Women’s World Cup team and the present head coach at the University of Virginia. Through her efforts at the Interregional Competition, Ballweg

hopes to become part of the U-18 National Team.

During the past year, Ballweg and the U-16 National Team participated in US Youth Soccer/Adidas Cup at Disney World in February and in the

US Soccer Festival in Portland, Oregon in August.

In the February tournament, the U-16 National Team cap

tured third place by defeating the U-18 National Team of Sweden. In preliminary matches, they also defeated the U-18 National Teams of Germany and Japan and lost to the US U-19 lnterregional All Stars. In Portland, the U16 team competed against regional teams comprised of col

lege and post collegiate players and the Sacramento Storm, champions of the

West Coast Women’s Professional League.

Recently, the Union Catholic High School girls

soccer team won its thirdstraight Union County

Soccer Tournament with Ballweg being instrumental in retaining this title and scoring two of four goals for the Vikings.

Scotch Plains Basketball 30+ Men’s League Results: Swan Motel 77, Paperchase 36

Swan Motel dominated Papachase from the opening tip. John Sullivan led all scoring with 15 points. David Nathanson scored 14 and John Krofulis and Scott Miller each scored 13 to stop Paperchase. DeCampo and Gallagher led the scoring for Paperchase.

Soup Campbell 58, Shootin’ and Lootin’ 55

The game between Soup Campbell’s squad and Dave Rothenberg’s Shootin’ and Lootin’ was very close, coming down to the last minutes. Keith led the scoring attack for Campbell’s with 27 points. Jason Green’s defense cooled off Shootin’ and Lootin’ whose scoring was led by Fred, Juan and Tony.

C&C 77, Blazers 63

The league experienced the first trade during the season. C&C sent Goseman to Basketball Jones for a player to be named later. C&C filled the void this year by adding three

new players. Kevin White, Mike and the Free point shooting of John helped C&C knock off the Blazers who started the season 1-2.

The Blazers are led by new addition but league veteran Marty Bernstein, who formerly played for four-time league champions Irma’s earlier in his career. The Blazers got great efforts from Asianian and Free to bring the game within a two, but it was not enough.

Basketball Jones 79, Investors 59

Basketball Jones, after acquiring their new player, handed the Investors their first loss, 79-59. Peter Costello led Basketball Jones with 22 points. Robertson, Michell and Boozen also played great team ball to seal the victory. Peter Glock and John Foley played well for the Investors, but Basketball Jones was too much for them in second half.

The public is welcome to come out and cheer the players at Park Middle School on Wednesdays. seven assists were contributed to the

offensive punch. Punching hardest was Renee Zidonik who undulated the net five times while adding two assists. Eryn Bushinger ripped four goals and had two assists and Kristen Mendez set up three assists.

Freshmen Stephanie Heath with three goals, Holly Kramer with one goal and two assists and Megan Reddington with two assists displayed great promise for the future.

The Raiders had their biggest offensive explosion against East Side on October 13, winning 8-0. Koscielecki led the ambush with three goals and an assist. On October 6, the Raiders shot down the Cardinals of Plainfield, 7-0. In that defeathering,

Zidonik and Pardon both had two goals.

The Raiders saddened the Blue Knights of Irvington on October 25 with a 7-0 thrashing. Bushinger had two goals in that massacre and Bush had one goal and three assists. The Tigers of Linden were caged by the Raiders, 7-1, on September 29. Zidonik had the hat trick and Quinn was close behind with two goals.

Next year, the Raiders will return a more seasoned team of athletes who scored all but six of the team’s goals and set up all but nine of the assists. Also returning will be sophomore keeper Christine Perotta who started as defender of the Raider den in all but three games.

A shift in momentum seemed to be in the air in the second half when Schiller, with the ball on the 38, completed to Harold Burwell on the left side near the Raider 43. Burwell slanted right and was brought down at the Indian 17 for a 45-yard gain. Two illegal procedure penalties and an interception killed the drive.

Next, Bob Dinsmore recovered an Indian fumble at the Raider 36, but, again, the Raiders failed to capitalize. A few minutes later, Jones made a spectacular leaping interception at the Raider 46 but the comedy of errors continued. On the very next play, the Indians recovered a fumbled snap. The R a i d e r

defense held. On the next series Indian LaVarr Parker intercepted a Schiller pass at the Raider 42.

On the first play of the fourth quarter, another Schiller pass was intercepted by Moseby at the Raider 43. Again the Raiders held. Finally, the Raiders mounted a significant drive. From the 17, Jones had respective gains of eight and 10 yards. Then Schiller hit Anthony Cary for a 35

yard pass reception to the Indian 30. A penalty, a three-yard reception by Herrmann and a four-yard bash by Cousar gave the Raiders a first down at the 18 but, on fourth and three, the drive stalled at the nine.

“We were inside the red zone twice,” commented Ciccotelli. “And you should score on those opportunities.”

A n o t h e r R a i d e r

fumble, two

more penalties a nd another interception sealed the victory for the Indians.

Not happy with the location of the game, Ciccotelli said, “We played all year for home field advantage and they put us on a college field with college hash marks. I don’t understand that.”

Kickoff, Interceptions KO Raiders’ Hopes, 14-2

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11

Lowyns returned and, soon after, the Raiders highlighted their season by tying St. Benedict’s Prep, then the top-ranked team in the nation.

Another milestone, was Head Coach Tom Breznitsky’s achievement of his 400th career victory on October 13 with a 10-0 victory over Newark East Side. Breznitsky’s 25-year record with the Raiders now stands a 406-99-31.

Senior Tri-Captain Eugene Ferrara led the Raiders in scoring with 17 goals and five assists. This season, Ferrara has been selected to the first team All-Union County by the Union County Coaches Association (UCCA) and was selected as first team All State All Groups by the New Jersey Soccer Coaches Association (NJSCA) and has been recognized as one of the top 17 players in the state.

Senior Tri-Captain Jeff Fiorino also received UCCA First Team All-Union

County recognition and was selected to the second team All-State All

Groups by the NJSCA. Fiorino was instrumental in setting up

plays and getting the Raiders on the offensive.

Lowyns, a junior Tri-Captain, despite being side

lined most of the season, was named first team UCCA All Union County and third team NJSCA All-State All Groups.

Junior Mike Zotti was second on the Raiders with 15 goals and first in assists with 11. The immensely agile Zotti was named UCCA first team All-Union County and first team NJSCA All-State Central Area.

Senior Antonio Dopazo contributed seven goals and was selected to the UCCA second team All-Union County. Junior Dave Bell, who had six goals, was also named to the UCCA second team All-Union County as were juniors Dave Sigmon and Jim Cooney.

The Raiders lost five seniors to graduation but could be very strong with their 15 experienced juniors and four talented freshmen.

SP-F Soccer Jazz Jolts Livingston Liberty, 2-1

The Scotch Plains-Fanwood Jazz girls inter-city soccer team used a perfect blend of skillful ball handling, crisp passing and accurate shooting to earn a 2-1 victory over the Livingston Liberty on November 21. The Jazz had the better of the early play but the Liberty scored first on a high shot at he 16 minute mark.

The Jazz threatened as Lauren Hercel stopped a Liberty attack and sent the ball to Loni Kaye who broke free and rifled a shot that was deflected by the goalkeeper. The rebound was collected by Jess McGarry who blasted a lightning bolt that dented the crossbar and bounced away.

Before the half, Meaghan Kelly neatly blocked a Liberty outlet pass and sent the ball ahead to Lauren Mains. Mains

headed toward the goal, but then alertly passed the ball to a wide-open Hallie Mintz. Mintz took the pass and fired the game-tying goal.

Continuing their aggressive play in the second half, Jazz fullback Gaby Falco dribbled the ball deep into Livingston territory but was sandwiched by two defenders. A Livingston player came away with the ball and streaked up the left side only to be run down by Briana Falco.

Shortly after that, Jessica Churgin churned her way up field and sent the ball over to Shannon Hauser who nailed a blistering shot into the far corner for the final goal. Maddie Wasser made a big save in the closing seconds to preserve the victory. The Jazz finished with a record of 4-4-2.

Branchburg Falcons, 2-1

The Scotch Plains-Fanwood Strikers Intercity Soccer Team battled the Branchburg Falcons to a 2-1 victory in a well-played game on November 21.

After falling behind, 1-0, early in the first quarter, the Strikers turned on their offensive machine. Brian Hessemer, Jarek Cohen, Michael DeVizio and Rob Cunningham worked their way through the Falcon defense and made several scoring attempts, but were thwarted by the Falcon’s keeper.

In the second quarter, Strikers Timmy Leischner, John Guiffre and Tommy Hercel paved the way for Adam Brous, who sent a high flyer into the net, giving the Strikers their first score.

The Striker defense held the line as Kyle Mihansky, James Dinizo and Eddie Kahn turned back all Falcon attempts. Hungry for a win, the Strikers came back after the half and never let up.

The third quarter was scoreless as both teams battled for the upper hand. Cunningham, Leischner, Guiffre and Kahn invaded Falcon territory, but were unable to make the play. However, the

Strikers succeeded in the fourth when a long throw in by Dinizo allowed Brous, Hessemer and DeVizio to start a barrage of shots at the Falcon keeper, with Tommy Hercel booting in the winning shot.

In the final minutes of play, the Falcons kept up the pressure, but key stops by Mihansky and saves by Keeper Cohen sealed the Strikers victory.
