  • PAGE 6/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/OCTOBER 26, 1978 Resigns after ten years Shrader quits soccer post by STEVE SURLES Sports Editor When the current soccer season is over the WCU athletic department will be looking for a new soccer coach. Dr. Charles Schrader announced his resignation last week, in his tenth season at WCU. Coach Schrader is the only soccer coach WCU has ever had. He fielded the first varsity team in 1969 after previously initiating the sport at VPI and the University of South Florida. He has a particular talent for starting soccer programs from scratch and having unusual success. The 1969 season ended with "Schrader's Raiders" posting a 1-6-1 record. He built the first team with an open invitation to the student body to play. He spent many long hours explaining rules, skill, strategy, while organizing schedules and practice games. The team didn't have a lot of experience but it was a start. "When I came here in 1968 I saw a potential for more varsity sports at Western. "Those first years we looked for players who were interested in soccer, and often we were just looking for bodies," Coach Schrader says. After that initial season the soccer program at WCU Upset WCU erks Erskine to revive hopes The WCU soccer team revived its hopes for a winning season last week with another upset of a ranked opponent. Erskine College came into Thursday's game at Whitmire Stadium ranked No. 6 in the South and left with a 3-2 overtime defeat on its record. Earlier this season. Western defeated then 14th ranked The Citadel in Charleston, SC. The win over Erskine left the Catamount booters 5-5-1 with four games remaining on their 1978 schedule, including a contest yesterday at Tusculum College in Greenville, Tennessee. Western has completed its Southern Conference schedule, posting a 2-2-1 record, and can finish as high as third place depending upon the outcome of next week's game between Furman and The Citadel. The booters will be at home this Sunday afternoon, at 2 p.m. hosting UNC-Greensboro in Whitmire Stadium. The WCU-Erskine game was a thriller all the way. Scott Grumman gave Western the initial lead midway of the first half, but Erskine's Paulo Machado tied it at 1-1 early in the second half. John Corley's goal with 11 minutes to play put the Catamounts on top, 2-1, but Machado's second goal just 30 seconds later tied it up again. The contest went into two-ten minute overtime periods and Western won it in the first overtime when freshman Paul Garth scored with 51 seconds remaining. The Catamounts defense, with Dave Burdette in the goal, made several outstanding plays to save the win in the final ten minute period.

ABSOLUTELY FREE! LAST CHANCE went on to remarkable success. From 1970 to 1973 the Cats, under the leadership of Dr. Schrader, were 31-11-4 Their best season came in 1972 when they posted a 9-2-1 mark. The Catamount trademark was their agressive and intense style of play. The rapid success of WCU soccer was especially remarkable because the program gets little scholarship aid Many of the Catamount opponents, have this advantage yet Coach Schrader always seemed to get good athletes in the purple and gold. "What 1 want in a player," Coach Schrader says, is an unselfish personality, one who is geared to the team concept of play. Athletically, speed and quickness are nice." During his ten seasons at WCU Coach Schrader has seen the sport grow—both at WCU and in America. He feels the reason for soccer's rapid growth and popularity in this country are twofold. "For one, the promotion of professional soccer and its stability has done a great deal for helping its popularity in the U.S. Also I think the basic structure of the game helps. It's a fun game to play." Coach Schrader feels that the caliber of American soccer has the potential to become as strong as it is in South America and Europe. The game has long been the world's most popular sport, but has never caught on in America as a serious rival to football, baseball, or basketball. "In the last ten years the caliber of play has really improved—we just simply have the better athletes playing soccer now. Just that fact will make us competitive. However, I think that it is very important we develop Americans to play soccer and that we develop our own style," he said. In the same sense Coach Schrader is optimistic about the potential for soccer success at WCU. He notes that the caliber of athlete now playing soccer is improving steadily, and that it is virtually impossible for a person to make the team now without some soccer experience. "We're at the stage now at WCU where the interest in soccer could potentially take-off in the next five years," Coach Schrader says. (At this point now the games draw a couple hundred people or so compared to a couple of thousand plus in Boone for ASU matches.) In his decade at Western, Coach Schrader has had many great players and many memorable games. Two of the finest players were Mike Michner and Patrick Cheung. A native of Hong Kong, Cheung was, as Schrader describes him, "probably the finest soccer player WCU has ever seen." Both Michner and Cheung were All-South selections and nationally ranked scorers during their careers. Michner graduated in 1971, Cheung in 1973. Of the games, two particularly stand out in Coach Schrader's memory. In 1971, the Cats upset the 1970 NCAA champs, Rollins College 5-0. In 1973, at Erskine College's homecoming the Schrader's Raiders whipped them 4-2. Both wins were over ranked teams in the early years of WCU soccer. Coach Schrader ranks last season's seven consecutive shut-out string and 10-6-1 record as a big thrill. The greatest satisfaction for him has nothing to do with the won-lost records. Coach Schrader is proudest of his ex-players, and what they have gone on to do and be after leaving WCU. "So many of them continued an interest in soccer and many still play on some level. Others have gone on to do well for themselves in business and education. I guess I'm proudest of the fact that many of them have gone on to be good citizens," Schrader said. In many ways, WCU's only soccer coach will be a hard man to replace. Women's volleyball team derailed The WCU women's volleyball team hopes to get back on the winning track this weekend after a fruitless trip to Boone last weekend. Coach Betty Peele's team will be out to end a six-game losing streak this Friday evening in Durham against North Carolina Central and Bennett J^l LardI CatS' after winni"g th™ fi"t seven matches of the season, are now 14-10. They dropped all ennVRT05'5 ,'" ^ ASU Tou™ment, losing to Syne' Louisburg and South Carolina, the eventual tourney champion. Western's last home volleyball match of the '78 season wil. be next Wednesday. Novemb r 1 n Bree e Gymnasium against Mars Hill and High Point.
