"They are definitely going to place in the top two or three in the playoffs and stand a good chance of sweeping the whole tourney," said Mr. Brown. "Much of the team's success has come from just working together, but a great deal of credit is due to Greg Koeller, '76, Glen Watson, '76, and Steve Johnson, '76. These players have been outstanding at their positions with Koeller scoring 17 times, Watson five, in addition to playing excellent defense, and Johnson, who has tallied seven times.
