6 Year Streak

Virginia hopes to dent a 6 year
losing streak to Hopkins and to
beat the Blue Jay in Charlottesville
for the first time since 1953. Coach
Glenn Thiel looks to his quick
attack — Jay Connor (5 goals, 5
assists), Tom Duquette (9 goals, 10
assists), and Rick Beach (12 goals)
and strong midfielders, Jim Potter
(5 goals, 3 assists), Charles Rullman
(6 goals, 2 assists), and Pete
Eldredge (7 goals, 2 assists) to
outscore a brilliant Hopkins' first
midfield and their potent attack.

Both teams have fine close
defenses. Virginia's Doug Hilbert,
making a strong bid for All-American
honors, has not been scored on
in the last three games. Hilbert shut
out 2 time little All-American
Harper Peterson of North Carolina
a week ago. Tom Dawes and Bruce
Mangels round out a close defense
which has allowed only 5 goals by
opponents close attackmen the last
3 games.
