The Douglas College Soccer team put
in an absolutely outstanding performance
in Eugene, Oregon over the weekend to win
the University of Oregon Duck-Beaver Invit-
ational Tournament. By so doing they
caused a major upset as they came into this
Tournament as unknowns and were somewhat
under rated.

In their first match, Douglas were
drawn against the University of Idaho.
They were visibly nervous and could not
get down in the second half and proceeded
to pound the Idaho goalie with a barrage
of shots. Their efforts were rewarded
when IAN CAMERON headed in a beautiful
goal to give Douglas a 1 - 0 win. ;

In the semi-finals Douglas came up
against the University of Oregon who in
their first round had defeated the Univer-
sity of California Humbolt team. Up until
this game Oregon had not lost a game all
season. They met their match in Douglas,
however, as the latter hammered them to a
3 - 1 defeat. Goal scorers for Douglas
were KEITH McKENZIE, STEVE HYNEK, and
JIM COPLIN.
