Both teams came back onto the field fired up, but we took the lead early ing catches (one setting up a touchdown). The Ripon game left 13 of our 3i players injured, and at least five members of our start- ing lineup weren’t able to play.

Grinnell met Graceland in tho first round, and neither team could sneak one by the goalies, until Graceland whacked one in with five minutes left to go in the second half. Poor stickwork and control slowed the game down considerably, and proved quite frustrating to those mem- bers on the team who have some idea of what good clean hockey really is. Although Grim neil had many chances to score, we lacked that extra something that makes a winning team. it was a dlsllppointlng, but de- served loss. Maybe now we’ll get some girls out to practioexr we obviously need itl Our second round match was against Central Missouri State, who, with their accurate passes and good stickwork, spurred out team on to really fight, and finally we almost clicked. Cathy Ellis and Marcia David played superbly on defense, helped by Narda Cisco and Nancy Eetz, who were quite effective in breaking up many of Missouri’s pass patterns. Goalie Connie Bcnham, in her typical, res laxed manner, saved anything that happened to penetrate this hard working defense. The for- wards also made a lot of good breaks, but couldn’t quite get the ball in the cage.
