The Sunday Journal Albuquerque, November 21, 1999 D13 A Real Lesson in International Relations HISTORY OF THE WORLD 1 I -'( mi -i fl NAIA Sprinkled With Foreigners By Glen Rosales For the Journal SANTA ANA PUEBLO The instructions and encouragement shouted in from the sidelines sometimes came in English heavily laced with a British accent during the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics men's soccer tournament. At other times, the message was in Spanish. Sometimes, it was in an unrecognizable language. "Way to go, laddies." "Vamos, vamos." Such is the nature of the NAIA, where relaxed rules permit rosters sprinkled liberally, if not entirely, with players from foreign countries. Yet, it was an American, Piper Lee from Illinois-Springfield, that ended a grueling, double-overtime match Saturday in the quarterfinals of the tournament at the New Mexico Soccer Tournament Complex.

Lee's goal, his second of the game, gave the fourth-seeded Prairie Stars a 2-1 win against No. 5 seed Life (Ga UIS will meet top-seed Mobile (Ala.) in one semifinal match Monday. Birmingham-Southern played St. Gregory's in a late quarterfinal match Saturday, while Harris-Stowe State (Mo.) met defending champions Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) in the other late quarterfi- "When I was 15 years old in Turkey, I managed a restaurant. I had to oversee 30 waiters, dishwashers and cooks.

If there 's one thing I'm strong in, it's my ability to get all kinds of different people to develop a common goal." AVDIN GONULSEN, 1 1 1 1 I I 1 1 I Coach nal match. "I took a shot, and their 'keeper made the save, but he didn't hold on to it," Lee said of his game winner in the 116th minute. "The ball was loose, and the 'keeper was down. I just jumped over him and toed it in. I was six feet away.

I wasn't going to miss that one." The Prairie Stars feature a roster that's nearly evenly split between American and international players, while Life is comprised entirely of foreign players. It takes a deft touch to blend the different styles of play, the different languages and the different cultures into a cohesive unit, said UIS coach Aydin Gonulsen, who originally is from Turkey. "When I was 15 years old in Turkey, I managed a restaurant," he said. "I had to oversee 30 waiters, ence is invaluable, Lee said. "I want to play at the highest level that I can play," Lee said.

"Playing with the international players can really help me. They just have so much experience and knowledge about the game. They grew up playing the game from when they were babies." A walk-on wannabe who never made it at Southern Methodist, Lee said he transferred because he was tired of watching his friends play while he sat in the stands. Now, he gets a chance to play with and against some players with tremendous experience. One of those is teammate Bektas BIgilisoy, who was born and raised in Germany.

He played several years of semi-pro soccer there before deciding to head to the U.S. for an education. The athleticism of the American players was something of a surprise, he said, and their technical skills are improving. Lee could only agree. "American kids arent taught the right way in club soccer," Lee said.

"They're going on athleticism only. They can tell us things, even when the game is going on. Little things like a turn of a foot here or touch there." It's second nature for the international players, however. "We know how to run, we know when to run and we know where to run," BIgilisoy said. They learn to cooperate together.

"That's the purpose of life," he said, "To get along and cooperate."
