The womenıs soccer teamıs goaltender stood tall in a 1-0 loss to Baldwin Wallace on Wednesday. Noyes owned the oppositionıs front line, stopping every shot that came her way and missing only on a direct penalty kick late in the first half. ³She was really in the right place at the right time,² said senior captain Katie Durham-Hammer. ³Whenever there [was] a ball in the box, she was there. She just dominated the entire goal area.²

What attracted you to Oberlin?
Given the transition between coaches, how has recruiting been going this year?
What strengths does our team have?
One hole in the team last year was the defensive line. We understand there have been improvements. Would you liken this yearıs line to the ı78-ı79 Steelers or the ı84 Bears?
We know this is a rebuilding year, but do you have an estimate on when weıll hit, say, .500?
Whatever happened to that kickoff team you were advertising about last year?
What stands out most in your personal football history?
We understand you have a young son...
Two young sons? Is it easy to make the transition from working with large, sweaty males, and caring for two young sons?
Now, the cultural reference portion: The Longest Yard or North Dallas 40?
What did you think of the new Star Warsı movie?

Sport: Volleyball
What it means: These are the three main techniques a team will use following a serve to try and return the ball to the other side of the net. The bumpı occurs when a player clasps her hands and extends her arms straight out from her body, then bumps the ball off her forearms towards the net. Before the ball drops too low, a player close to the net setsı the ball by tapping it straight into the air off her fingers. When the ball falls back to just above the net, another player jumps and slams or spikesı the ball downward with an open palm trying to rocket it past the opposing team.

Oberlin is similar to my alma mater [UC Davis] with a strong academic reputation which gives me the chance to coach intelligent young men. We chose Oberlin to be our home because I wanted to help both the College and the community.
I got in after the admission deadline so it was tough. Weıre recruiting for next year now so weıre just trying to get out and spread the word.
Their strengths lie in their hunger and enthusiasm to gain success on the field.
The ı84 Bears lots of young guys who want success and are hungry.
[When we get] a squad size of over 60. If we can recruit 40 players next year, weıll win our division by the end of the third year.
Iıd still love to do it. [No applicants] have come through. Iım still looking to gain more student involvement.
Former players who call me to know that theyıre doing well in their personal and athletic life. Playing in two championships is nothing compared to hearing from former players and knowing that they are well.
Two.
Itıs great being a dad, itıs like being a kid again.
North Dallas 40. The Longest Yard is just one long Burt Reynolds cliche.
I havenıt seen it [raucous applause from sports editors]. I saw the first one back in the theater and saw the other two on tape and it wasnıt the same.
