Soccer Ends a Phenominal Year

The soccer season ended, what seems like, quite a while ago. Since then, I have been able to interview two of the three seniors on their last season at Oregon Tech. Unfortunately I was not able to get a hold of Beth Narramore, the Klamath Falls native. Here are what Brittany Garton and Amy Speakman had to say:


What is your favorite memory from this season?

Brittany: Dinner the night before our regional game at Macaroni Grill. Everyone was drawing on the tables with crayons. We had a really good time there. One of my biggest is when I scored my only goal this season when we played Warner Pac in the first playoff game.

Amy: The whole California trip in general. Things just one thing after another didn’t go right. The bus broke down, and it didn’t have air conditioning and we were in Southern California in august. It was a good bonding time and it was a good start to the season.

What are you going to miss most?

Brittany: The team itself—spending time with girls. We don’t spend a lot of time together outside of soccer because everyone’s busy with school.

Amy: Probably the girls. I’ll miss the girls a lot, seeing them everyday as well as the feeling of game day and how exciting it is.

What are your plans after you graduate?

Brittany: I’m trying to find a job in Portland for civil Engineering. I’m graduating in March and I have a couple different options I’m looking at.

Amy: I’m attending Oregon State next year. I got accepted in the pharmacy school (it is a four-year program).

What is your biggest accomplishment of your soccer career at Oregon Tech?

Brittany: Had to be helping, leading the team to the regional game. We put in a lot of hard work this year. The team chemistry was right for what we needed. That’s by far the greatest accomplishment. That’s the farthest I’ve ever gone on any team, even in high school.

Amy: Being voted team MVP by my teammates, three years in a row (freshman, sophomore and junior year).

I would like to congratulate the girls on a season well-played! They made history this year and I cannot wait until next year to see what this year has taught us. They are a fun team to watch and I encourage everyone to go out and see at least one game next year.
