Strong, 20, a two-time Cana- dian Olympian, heiped Georgia win the NCA team champion- sbip witb a record score. She wae third in the event The 1993 Brooklin Redmen wiil be a stronger team than the one that loet in the piayof serni-fi nais last year in O 0ai major lacrosse. That7s the prediction of roolcie bead coach Kevin Van Sicklo, a former Redmon player wbo bas added two longtime veterans, a bonafide scorer and four new players to the '93 edition of the Redmen. Last season bad to be con- sidered a dismal ofie for Rodmen after succese and several Mann Cup championsbips in provious years. In particular, losing to tradi- tional rivaIs Peterborough in last year's semi-final was disappoint- ing to Redmen veterans who bave sbown "intensity» at this year's training camp, says Van S ickl e. "Our expectations are going to bo ver high"» Van Sickle says, feeling tat bis team caribeat Peterborogb as weil as tho powerfui Brampton club that won the Marnn Cup last year. Noting that succose wili come witb bard work and a strong defensive approacb, ho says that «We're not going to live in the past' Two piayers wbo were an in- tegral p art of previous Redmen triumphs return this season. John Fusco, a power play spo- cialist with a hard point sbot, returns after ayear off for kneo surgery. Gil Nieuwendyk, a Mann Cup vetoran who hasn't piayed in recent years due to *ob commit- ments, wili be in the iineup wben bis job schedule permits. Kevin's brother, Greg Van Siekie a top goal scorer wben ho payeâ junior A witb Whitby Warriors, wiU provde scoring punch for thebedmon. New to the teami are Nool Cochrane and Jef McCarey from the Huntsville Junior B squad. Patti O'Toole, a Scarborough junior B team graduate, was im pressîve in tramning camp and will join Paul Mootz as goalies for Redmen. Glenn Clarke wili aiso join tho team and wiil boîster the defence says .evin Van Sickle. Mike MgcGee returns after a two- year absence. Other teams members are Tom Wreggfitt Eric Perroni, Gary Crawford, Cody Bartlett, Jason Richards, Joe Sullivan, Larry Downer, Steve Dyment at Ontario Lacrosse Association defensive player of the year for 1992, Greg Lepine. Not expected to retura are veterans IBill Callan and Scott McMicbael, botb valuable perfor- mers in past Redmnen seasons. uWe are a very buge team and we have spots of speed,» says Van Sickie. "We have a good finals on the uneven bars with a score of 9.95. She scored a per- fect 10 on the bars during the team competition. For the vear, she won eight goid, six silver and six bronze modals individualiy. Academicaily, Strong, whose major is journalism, made the director's honour list every semester,1 with a grade average of 3.66 (out of 4.0). nucleus" Ho is also hoping to attract a standout player from the U.S., Charlie Lockwood. Brampton has most of last year's lineup returning and wili again be the team to beat. Owen Sound is taking a year's eabbatical fromn the beague, and many of the team's voterons bave joined Ferçus.
