B Soccer team suffers setback as Cate arid Deshaies walk out Disappointment struck the UB Soccer, team twice Wednesday when coach Salvatore Esposito and his players learned that Steve Cate and Bob Deshaies, starters for the varsity, had quit due to heavy academic workloads. The news came following a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Geneseo College. * \We’re sorry to hurt the team this way, but school comes first,\ said Cate, the leading scorer for theBulls. Cate’s two scores were the lone tallies for UB in two games. “ We wish the team good luck for the rest of the season, but the engineering workload and the soccer is too much,” said Deshaies, who has played outstanding midfield for the Bulls. Cate and Deshaies did remember a pre-season speech when Esposito warned the soccer team about the demands of the game upon each man, but at the time both students felt they could handle both. “This is naturally a disappointment to the team and myself,” said Esposito. \Two starters lost after the second game will definitely , hurt. We’ve got to take a good long look at our junior varsity and make some kind of adjustment But they’re here for an education,” he concluded.

Eleven individuals ran' around haphazardly, wearing UB soccer jerseys during the opening half of Wednesday’s meeting with Geneseo State College. Having caught wind of the situation, the Buffalo team played well the second half of the match, which Geneseo won, 2-1 at Rotary Field. fighting for its life limited UB to one goal. Midway through the second half, Steve Cate headed a looping pass by Luis Azcue into the net for the lone UB score. Later, action continued around the Geneseo goal for the remainder of the game, with the Bulls continuing to display the intensity they sorely lacked during the first half. “The halfbacks did a good job this game, getting the ball up to the forwards,” said Buffalo forward Keith Schwabinger, following the game. UB continued an absence of communication between players, a problem they have been plagued with for two games. In essense, the Bulls played in a library-like atmosphere ior the majority of the game. The course of the game was, like the first game, marred by many called fouls, the majority of them for pushing off an opponent. The game was stopped twice when two Geneseo players had to be assisted off the field with minor foot injuries. Atlanta 17, Detroit 10: Falcons are ready to fly through the roof.

The Bulls displayed outstanding individual effort during the first half of the game, and their tough defense only yielded two hard- fought goals. The majority of the action in the half was at the UB end of the field, while Geneseo kept sending the ball deep into Bulls territory, but goalie Mark Celeste and the backfield, anchored by Ed Sorkin, cut down the penetration despite the two scores. As play commenced in the second half, Geneseo faced an entirely different opponent dressed in the Buffalo uniform. The Bulls passed crisply, attacked at every opportunity and presented the Geneseo goalie with a deluge of shots. But persistent bad luck combined with a defense The soccer team travels for its next scheduled contest, facing Canisius College at 4 p.m. next Wednesday, September 26.
