D-2 Santa Cruz Sentinel Thursday, Feb. 9, 1984 mv jump' 1,4 v- vh iL frL- SC's Jose Sierra uses his head. Jim Russell and David Adams (1 1) go for the ball. Santa Cruz edges Soque wing Bill Thompson got possession of the ball on a breakaway. There were five minutes left in the game.

Thompson received a pass from teammate Jose Sierra, who had control of a loose ball at midfield, and Thompson broke for the goal with only the ball and Soquel keeper Richard Keating to beat. He saw a gap in the right corner of the net and booted the ball into the net for a 3-1 Card lead and the virtual winning goal. "I was proud of the way we came back," said Soquel Coach Mark Magagna. "We would have liked to have taken the game into overtime, but they scored their third goal before we could tie it. They will represent us well in the playoffs." Aptos irfcMc a CASTROVI LLE Aptos parlayed a first-half goal Into their first shutout of the season over North Monterey County.

Ian Crosby kicked the winning goal 31 minutes Into the first half. Aptos' Brent Chapman sent a quick roller through the NMC defensive line; Crosby, Aptos' left wing, ran in and shot on goal with the ball. "Our defense played very well," said Aptos Coach Bob Goeckermann, whose team evened its league record at 6-6-1 (7-9-2 overall). He cited sweeper Jamie O'Mahony and center Aurelio Cervantes for the effectiveness of the Mariner defense. According to Goeckermann, North County was able to take only three shots on goal the entire game.

Watsonville 3, Marello Prep 0 WATSONVILLE Watsonville Coach Dave Grabost was not being humble, iust sportsmanlike, when he recited the final score of the Wildcats' game with Marello Prep as "3-0." When pressed, he admitted the score was more one-sided than that, but he refused to give details, saying that Marel lo Prep was, "an awfully young team and they had some people out sick He did say that his Wildcats, the SCCAL champions at 12-0 (17-1-1 overall), "moved the ball well and kept It in control. Also, our midfield played quite well." 'Harbor OUT6 SANTA CRUZ Harbor scored two goals In the llrst half and two more in the second half, and the Pirate defense shut out SLV. "When our team plays together, they play real well," said Harbor Coach Hlllel Rom, who added that his offense failed to capitalize on numerous scoring opportunities. By PAUL S. McCAFFERTY Sentinel Correspondent SANTA CRUZ Like an expectant father with little control over the events before him and not 100 percent sure of the outcome, Santa Cruz High Coach Don Dempewolf battled his anxiety by pacing the sidelines in the second half of an all-important Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League soccer match against the Soquel Knights Wednesday at Santa Cruz.

The score was 2-1 in favor of the Cards for 25 minutes of the second half, a match eventually won by Santa Cruz, 3-1. It seemed like 25 years to Dempewolf. A Central Coast Section playoff spot was on the line. He was calm, save for an occasional instruction to his team, but the grass beneath his feet was being converted to mud as the drama unfolded on the field. "We were completely out of our game in the second half, said Dempewolf.

"They put good pressure on us early, but we also hurt ourselves." In other SCCAL games Wednesday, the Aptos Mariners shut out the North Monterey County Condors, 1-0; the Watsonville Wildcats blanked the Marello Prep Panthers, 3-0, and the Harbor Pirates downed the San Lorenzo Valley Cougars, 4-0. Ten minutes into the second half, the Cards were in front, 2-0. Soquel's Terry Fernandes took a shot that bounced off the chest of Cardinal goalkeeper Nick Markel, and Knight Dave Lissner waited for the rebound and kicked the ball through the net to pull make it, 2-1. The anxiety set in. After a number of shots on goal by both teams, including a couple of penalty kicks, and some heart-pounding action in front of both goals, Santa Cruz left Bill LoveioySentlnel Santa Cruz High's Jose Sierra (14) and Soquel's Jose Guzman get tangled up while going for the ball.

SHDEIIBSSBBBHHIflBSEXBIflHBaBBBSflBQBflB Sports digest Sea Lions keep rolling (JCSC tops Santa Clara Poor shooting at foul line means a loss for Cabrillo 21-20. "The game came down to free throws," said Cabrillo Coach Carl White, "and they converted." White admitted that the Ohlone press bothered his team (now 5-16 for the year and 2-5 in conference play) but that, "when we had an opportunity to close the gap with free throws, we didn't do it." White added that Ohlone's Sam Culver, a forward, hurt the Seahawks with his play at both ends of the court. Culver led a balanced Ohlone offense (six players had between eight and 12 points) with 12 points. David Hill of Cabrillo led all scorers with 22 points. Michael Whitley of Ohlone led all boardsmen with 6 rebounds.

Ohlone outrebounded Cabrillo 17-16; nothing much there for either team to be proud of. "It was a game we needed to win," said White, who added that he felt the Seahawks need to win at least two of their final three conference games to have any chance of advancing into the playoffs. That and wear their free-throw shooting shoes. FREMONT Cabrillo College's basketball team left its free throw shooting shoes at home Wednesday night against Ohlone, and it cost the Seahawks yet another defeat in this Coast Conference season, 63-56. Considering the Hawks hit 14 of 29 attempts at the line 48 percent it seems that, lacking their shoes, they got cold feet.

Ice cold. Though Ohlone led the entire game, the Seahawks pulled within four points twice in the second half. Each time, a Cabrillo player stepped to the free throw line with a chance to pull Cabrillo within a basket's striking distance. Then they suffered that problem with their feet again, and the opportunities went unheeded. On the first occasion, the Seahawks twice went to the line in a bonus situation but missed the front end each time; on the second occasion, they twice missed both ends of a two-shot foul.

That's six in a row when it counted. Ohlone, meanwhile, converted 23 of its 32 free throws. The two teams were much closer in field goals, with the Seahawks garnering one more basket than Ohlone, I MARINA cadillacbuick GIVES I0U M01E qgpaar CUP THIS COUPON I I V-v -v 'Jfrjk I I I I n.ntTT 'ft uf rnr rw3 I I Jtfi "iMit1i7 TiliW rillf 'H h' I ti I OVlk 1 00 INDIVIDUAL SYSTEMS CHtCKBD!

While the winning score certainly exceeds the amount needed to qualify for such a designation, and impressive as it was, those weren't the double figures that had Sea Lion Coach Joe Richardson celebrating.

The Bay Area Intercollegiate Athletic Conference win happened to be the Sea Lions' 10th of the year, a school record. Last year, UCSC won nine games. From here, obviously, the sky is the limit. UCSC, now 8-1 in conference play, moved out slowly but surely, using a press to befuddle Notre Dame. The score was 19-12, UCSC, after three minutes.

The Sea Lions then went on an 18-2 rampage and never looked back. John Saintignon scored 31 points for the Sea Lions and in so doing tied the all-time individual scoring mark at UCSC. Saintignon now has 437 points (avg. 21.0) for the season, tying him with former Sea Lion Mike Weaver. UCSC outrebounded the visitors, 63-21; Julius Patterson led the team with 10 (and scored 18 points), while Tom Buffet pulled down nine.

The Sea Lions, who have five remaining games (not counting any playoff contests), play in Oakland against Holy Name, 7:30 p.m. Saturday. The final home game for UCSC will be at 7:30 p.m. Monday against Simpson College of San Francisco. Soquel player signs SOQUEL Soquel High's Ken Kiff has signed a national letter of intent to play football at Oregon State in the fall.

Kiff, a fr-foot-6, 230-pound offensive tackle, started (or Soquel the last two seasons. Kiff was an all-Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League and All-County selection last season. SANTA CLARA UCSC defeated the University of Santa Clara, 6-2, in a non-conference men's tennis match played Wednesday on the Santa Cruz courts. UCSC had split its two matches with Santa Clara last season, and came into this one with its No.2 player out. "We took charge at a critical point of the match," said Sea Lion coach Bob Hansen, who said that both Don Une-barger and Alex Hinton (each a winner in singles and doubles) excelled for UCSC.

The Sea Lions host the All-Cal tournament Friday and Saturday. Other participants will be UC San Diego, UC Riverside, and UC Davis. UCSC plays at 1 p.m. Friday, then again at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.

North County primed, ready for league wrestling tourney r-i-tt Just moved in? APTOS North Monterey County's wrestling team moves into this weekend's Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League championship tournament (on Saturday at San Lorenzo Valley High) looking like the nearest thing in the league to a sure bet. The Condors poured it on Aptos Wednesday night on the road to a 50-18 triumph to remain undefeated in league wrestling.

In other SCCAL matches Wednesday, San Lorenzo Valley defeated Santa Cruz 42-30 and Soquel defeated Harbor 47-21. "It was devastating," said Aptos Coach Gordon Leighton in attempting to describe NMC's domination. "They wrestled very, very well." Aptos gave up 12 points in forfeited matches, something the Mariners could ill-afford to do. In a matchup of wrestlers expected to do well in the league tournament, NMC's Martin Sandoval pinned Dean Ichikawa in 1:53 in the 103-pound division. Juan Serano, who won by pin at 122.

also performed well for North County. The Mariners were led by Eric Swetland who won by a pin at 168. Otherwise, for Aptos, it was a long night. "I hope our guys get their will to win back," said Leighton.

The winning time was 5:36 of the final period.

Washburn had beaten Corley twice last season; Corley, said Grant, was "much improved." SLV heavyweight Scott Kieser pinned Gary Young in 1:01 In another big win for the Cougars. "They outwrestied us," said Santa Crut Coach Russell Ellwanger. "it was a good way to end our dual meet season," said Grant. "It's an Intense rivalry (between the two school si." Grant also observed that it will take "a couple of upsets" for another SCCAL team to beat North County In the league tournament.

Top wrestlers for Soquel were Adam Thevenin (a decision at 108), Todd Kraft (a pin at 129) and Tim Shirley who pinned his opponent In the heavyweight division in 0:29. "Thevenin and Kraft were wrestling good people," said Soquel Coach Donn Flshburn, "and they took the match to them."
