The Dons have more experience. Last year, the Dons started five freshmen on a team that advanced to the quarterfinals in the NCAA tournament. Among those five freshmen, one was goalkeeper Mark Powell, the Dons two leading scorers, Cato Andersen and Theo Narvestad, and All-Far West defender Ken Boardman. The Dons have more depth. With the return of 1982 leading scorer Tor Sveen, along with freshman Mark DeCroce, and UCLA transfer Greg Burns, the frontline is more potent than in recent years. With the addition of Helge Myrengett. Marko Lucchetta and Bernie Murphy in the midfield, that was weakened by the graduation of Per Haugvaldstad and Vidar Larsen, the midfield should be steady as well (TheFoghorn).
