They didn't go quite as deep into the week end as they would have liked, however, finally stopped 2-0 by UCLA in Friday's semifinal. "Their defenders overall were very ath letic and quick," said Matheson, a midfielder, in an interview posted Diana Matheson on the Princeton web site. "They closed down space and marked up tight, and it was hard to get through." Princeton ended its season as the first Ivy League school to reach the Final Four of a 64-team NCAA tour nament and the first Ivy League women's soccer team to reach the Final Four. Along the way, Princeton spent most of the year in the national Top 10 and won more games than any Ivy women's soccer team ever before. Matheson was named Ivy League freshman of the year and is up for a similar national honour. A White Oaks grad, she is a fixture on Canada's nation al women's soccer team. She rose through the Oakville Soccer Club rep system, culminating her career with a national club championship with the Oakville women's team in 2002. 17 Josh Disher n/a Aaron Barton rank plaver Erie Otters P-borough team GPI MINS Shots GA SO 21 1120 617 55 0 0 2 122 53 7 T 1 0 i9 ® : WtM.* Hisey got off to galloping start with Colts Rob Hisey had a great start with his new team, scoring a goal and an assist last Thursday as the Barrie Colts edged the visiting Sarnia Sting 4-3.

Oakville Beaver looking for 'Coach of the Month 1 They're on the ice -- or the field, or the court -- early, and they're the last ones to leave. They teach us not only the skills but also how to have the time of our lives, whether we're win ning or losing. And they donate their time to make a major contribution to minor sports. So now is the time to reward great coaches in a big way. Local team members (and their parents) in any sport are invited to submit their nomina tions for the 'Coach of the Month', a new feature that will aim the spotlight on the men and women who make local teams shine. One coach will be chosen each month, and they will receive a pizza party for the team -- on us. In addition, the will run an article on the winner, along with the team photo. Submissions should include the coach's name, the team and division name, and why they make playing the game something special. Suggestions can be e-mailed to nnelson@haltonsearch.com.

Unit #8, Oakville CHRISTMAS GOLF SALE TRAVEL BAG W/WHEELS MEN'S & LADIES GOLF SHOES Marshall may resume track Continued from page D1 tion to the NHL lockout, realizing that could open up a few opportunities. "It's pretty hard right now because most teams have goalies coming down from teams above, and I'm trying to make my way up," Marshall said. Marshall is remarkably agile for his 6-foot-5, 190-pound frame. In his Grade 9 year at St. Ignatius of Loyola, he fin ished fourth overall in high jump at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) championships, then earned provincial silver tfie following year. Though he now does high-jumping primarily on a recre ational basis, Marshall said he might resume track-and-field should he attend a Canadian university in the next couple years. For now, however, he's simply trying to stay in shape and hoping for an opportunity to play semi-pro. "I believe that as long as my mind stays sharp and I stay in good shape, I'll be able to keep playing as long as I need to or want to," he said. "After a couple years, I'll probably end up going to school for sure, if the pros aren't looking too good. I'll have to make some decisions." $49.95 US-TOUR GLOVES 50% OFF ONCE A YEAR ONLY With FREE Shoe Bag (while supply lasts) TIGER GOLF BALLS 2/$19.95 50% OFF LOTS OF STOCKING STUFFERS 3 DOZ. $29.95 PUTTERS & WEDGES ALL MEN'S GOLF SETS (WALL DISPLAYS) FROM 500 DRIVING IRONS FROM $19.95 $24.95 JUNIOR SETS INCL.
