Spart BY JEFF SCHULZE AND DEBORAH HARGETT 8UH WrIUra Down 0-2 in the first half of the national final against Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, the Spartan soccer team rallied in the second half and scored three unanswered goals in route to a 3-2 victory in the NCAA Division III Soccer Championship Saturday. Midfielder Tony Dias scored the winning goal with less than six minutes remaining in the contest off an assist from junior Ed Radwanski. giving the Spartans the lead for the first time in the game. The Spartans played defensively for the remainder of the game, and, at the blow of the horn ending the game, congregated in the middle of the field, hugging each other and rais-ing their index fingers, chanting, "We're number one." But the Spartans had to play their best in order to overcome the surprising Stags, who came on strong in the first half to take a commanding 2-0 halftime lead. Thirteen minutes and forty-eight seconds into the contest, forward Eric Themm passed to top-Stag scorer Steve Torti, who drilled his 24th goal past Spartan goalkeeper Tim Borer. The Stags continued to pass well in Spartan territory, and at the 21:45 mark, freshman forward Hyun Lee dribbled and fired a shot into the net, giving the Stan a 2-0 lead. Even though they were behind, the Spartans still pressed the Stag defense, and almost came away with some points. Shortly after the Stags' first goal, freshman Brian Japp almost headed in a comer kick for a goal. Later, Andrew Mahalko just missed a shot-on goal after the Spartans stole a pass off a goal kick from Stag goalkeeper B J. Fair. However, the Spar-tans remained behind. During intermission, the Spartans talked among themselves while Coach Berticelli had a few words with assistant coach Ed Thiebe. Despite the first half per-formance, Berticelli wasn't upset with the team. "Coach Berticelli wasn't negative," said defensive back Kevin Grant, who played the game with a cast on his dislocated elbow, "but he just gave us a chance to get ourselves together because we were just jittery in the first half." ans Win It All!!! UNC-G Claims Second Straight NCAA Soccer Crown In the second half, the Spartans changed formation, moving forwards Louie Borges and Andrew Mahalko to midfield to join incumbent midfielder Ed Radwan-ski. Berticelli then shuffled in offensively-oriented players into the vacant forward positions, giving the Spartans six players up front to maintain constant of-fensive attack. Berticelli changed formation due to the halftime score. "We needed to get some points on the board quick," said assistant coach Ed Thiebe. "So we put in the strongest offensive team we could. We had an extra five minutes at halftime since Claremont went inside (Coleman Gym), and it gave us some time to discuss the formation while letting the players relax a little. Any way we did it, it was going to be a tough comeback." The formation worked for the Spartans in the second half. Eight minutes into the half, junior midfielder Ed Radwanski scored his 17th goal of the year. A foul on the Stags gave the Spartans an indirect kick at the Claremont goal. Before the Stags' defense was proper-ly set up, Radwanski nailed the ball past the confused Stags for the Spartans first goal. A poor interpretation of a referee's call by the Stags led to Spartans' second goal and a tie game. Five minutes after the first Spartan points, Claremont com-mitted a foul. Quick-thinking freshman Ron Bertolac-cini took a fast free kick before the Stags were set up. The Stags apparently waited for the referee to signal the start of the free kick which had already taken place. While the defense stood idle, Bertolaccini passed to Mark Commandatore who dished off to the streaking Andrew Mahalko. One on one with goalkeeper Fair, Mahalko scored esaily. Claremont coach Steve Davis complained bitterly to the referee, claiming that the signals given by the referee were "confusing." The referee claimed otherwise. Naturally, the referee won, and the score stood at 2-2. With the crowd going crazy and the momentum on their side, UNC-G began the final drive into Stag ter-ritory. George Dyer cleared the ball from the Spartan backline to Radwanski, who tipped some 50 yards downfield. Dias streaked down off Radwanski's right. At the last possible moment before Dias would have been offsides, Radwanski passed to him, placing Dias onsides and one on one with goalkeeper Fair. The shot wasn't pretty and it bounced around some, but it went in and the Spartans had the lead. Radwanski was named offensive player of the game and Dyer was named defensive player of the game. But their superb performances were offset by the hustle of the injured Kevin Grant. Twice, the sophomore fullback saved shots on goal when Spartan goalkeeper Tim Borer was drawn away from the goalkeeper box. A score or scores from either of those shots could have resulted in a different outcome of the game. Coach Berticelli was very pleased with his team's play. "I'm very pleased with the victory and msybe a little more so than last year, because we went through a lot more this time to win," said Berticelli. "We played without Mike Sweeney (out with knee injury), played with an injured Kevin Grant, and we had to come from behind to win." "I just gave the players a chance to get themselves together instead of yelling about what was going wrong," Berticelli said about his words to the team at half. "I knew I had to be calm to talk of the ways to set some scoring opportunities." The Spartans finished their regular and post-season at 23-1-1, breaking the previous national records of 19-1-1 set by Quincy College and Adelphi College. The Carolinian Nonprofit US.

Drinking New Liquor Bans Spreading This fall's experiments in clamp-ing down on student drinking— experiments performed almost simultaneously by a huge number of schools now-have inspired a series of tough new rules on student behavior, but an initial check with colleges across the country in-dicates students are willingly adap-ting to their drier campuses. "We didn't have tbt 'beer suckers' that have always been around before," Mike Jewell, a member of the University of Ken-tucky's Phi Delta Theta house, observes gratefully. His house and all the other Kentucky fraternities agreed to hold dry rushes for the first time ever this fall. Bar owners near the University of Oklahoma campus arranged to accommodate a crowd of 6000 students at a rally to protest the state's new 21-year-old legal drink-ing age law, but only 160 students showed up. Dry rushes and parties elsewhere unfolded without controversy. "I think (the fraternities) are finding it brings good results, and keeps the people away who only come for the free beer anyway," observes Jonathan Brant, head of the Na-tional Inter-fraternity Conference. It also shows "that fraternities are something besides beer busts," he adds. Not all student group are happy about the way schools are going about controlling student drinking, however. "We're all for" controlling drink-ing, says Bob Bingaman, head of the State Student Association in Washington, D.C., which coor-dinates state student activities around the nation and also helped Kansas and Georgia students ward off drinking age hikes last spring. "But students are responsible enough to sensitize themselves without having legislatures making decisions for them." he argues. Both legislators and school ad-ministrators are making those deci-sions nevertheless, and at an in-creasing pace over the last year. Maryland, Oklahoma, Arizona State, Alabama, Virginia, St. Bonaventure and many others have simply banned drinking on at least parts of their campuses. Frater-nities like those at Kentucky and North Dakota State voluntarily have begun dry rushes and special alcohol-free activities. At Loyola College of Maryland, students must now don special wrist bands to get liquor at campus par-ties. Students caught violating the new policy—by giving a wristband to an under-age drinker, for example-can be kicked out of stu-dent housing. When the University of Maryland's under-aged population "plummeted from only 25 percent of the (student body) to over 60 per-cent this year, we just decided to put an end to all drinking on cam-pus, rather than try to deal with all the enforcement problems," reports Sandy Neverette, the assistant resi-dent life director. "Since the majority of students can't legally drink anyway," adds Anona Adair of the University of Oklahoma, "there simply cannot be any alcohol on campus." The crackdown is extending off-campus, too. Town police have been spot checking parties at Millersville State College in Pennsylvania this fall, hunting for under-aged drinkers and enforcing the city's new noise law. Illinois State students now must get permission from town officials 15 days before holding any outdoor parties. Then they have to have security guards at the parties. Marquette, Michigan officials passed a tough new noise and litter ordinance designed to control par-ties on and near the Northern Michigan University campus. "We're seeing a real turnaround in the way alcohol is being viewed not only by administrators, but by the students themselves," says Gerardo Gonzales, president of BACCHUS, a national groups aim-ed at controlling student drinking. The control efforts began in earnest on many campuses during the 1982-83 academic year, and have accelerated since as more states raise their legal drinking ages and more college towns are em-boldened to try to control student 5« DRINKING Page 3 Inside Today's Issue Opinions Pagee 2 Arts Page 3 Soccer Pictorial.
