Morrow, Ga., August 23, 2006 – It was just like old times on Saturday, August 19th for a number of Clayton State Alumni soccer players … only on Sunday morning many of them probably woke up with a bit more soreness than they remember in their younger  playing days.

The CSU Alumni Association sponsored its third annual Alumni Women’s Soccer match with 18 former Lakers facing off against the 2006 Clayton State women’s team.

On hand for Saturday’s game were two alumni from Clayton State’s first team in 1995. Along with Gina Papa and Stacey Gaines, off that first team, Zulynette Olivo, Debby Okosieme, Tiffany Bales, Nkiru Okosieme, Michelle Smith, Kiera Morris, Julie (Washo) Mangarelli, Jill Kowalczyk, Jennifer Balsamo, Leah (Pharr) McClure, Caryn Carpenter, Sara Kulina, Jocelyn Okoro, Florence Okpala, Judith Chime and Tiffany Cavin played in the contest.

The Alums haven’t lost a step over the years, tying the nationally-ranked Lakers 1-1. Pharr evened the score with a goal late in the match off a pass from N. Okosieme.
