South to host Holiday Heritage Festival & Sale
The Southern State men’s soc-cer team made their first trip to the national tournament in school his-tory last weekend.
Unfortunately for the Patriots the weekend did not go as planned. They were knocked out of National Title contention with a first round loss to Briarcliffe College of New York. Briarcliffe is the 2008 nation-al champions, 2009 runners-up, and would go on to become the 2010 runner-up.
The Patriots finished the regu-lar season with a 15-1-2 record, the third best in the United States Col-legiate Athletic Association (US-CAA).
The USCAA has approximately 45 member institutions that field men’s soccer teams. SSCC’s record
was the third best in the nation, however the USCAA relies on a coaches poll to determine seeding for the National Tournament.
SSCC received no love from the coaches poll and received the 6th
seed for the tournament. “We were very confident that
we could come to the national tour-nament and get a win.,” said Josh Thoroman, head coach.

SOCCER/Cont’d from Page 1“However the tournament seed-
ing was very unfortunate and we had to play the second best team in the nation in the first round. Had we been seeded higher, as we believe we deserved, we believe we could have advanced to the second round,” said Thoroman.
Southern State finished the sea-son with an overall record of 15-3-2 and will probably finish the 2010 sea-son ranked 6th or 7th in the nation when the final poll is released.
SSCC won the Ohio Collegiate Athletic Conference (OCAC) for the second year in a row and had a
winning season for the third year in a row.
This was just the third winning season in the 19-year history of soc-cer at SSCC.
“I hope that people understand that this Southern State team earned its way into the national tournament by achieving the third best record in the nation,” said Thoroman.
“We played great teams all year and we were able to finish 15-1-2! We are extremely disappointed in losing at the national tournament. With the send-off we received, the coverage in the newspapers, and the numerous calls and messages of
support,we went to Vermont on a mission to win and make Southern Ohio proud. We lost to the second best team in the USCAA. This team was not ready for the season to end.”
The Patriots say farewell to sophomores Jordan England (Ripley H.S.), Wyatt Chaney (Eastern Brown H.S.), Chase Burns (North Adams H.S.), Caleb Conn (Miami Trace H.S.), Tyler Jimison (North Adams H.S.), Nathan Rollyson (Wilmington H.S.), and Jeff Strausbaugh (Unioto H.S.).
The sophomore class is the win-ningest class in Southern State histo-ry accumulating a record of 25-10-3.
DRACULA/Cont’d from Page 1Little is it known to either of them that a vampire has
begun to take claim of Lucy’s body and soul.As Count Dracula (Benjamin Gullett) begins to exert
his will upon the residents of London, they try to piece to-gether the clues of his appearances, in a valiant attempt to save themselves from a hideous fate. Rich with both humor and horror, this play paints a wickedly theatrical picture of Stoker’s famous vampire.
