(left to right): Jamie Munro '99, Chugger Adair '93, Tom Tate '95, Kevin Legg '95. For a small group offormer USD men's soccer players, championship seasons have become the norm since graduation. Chugger Adair '93, Tom Tate '95 and Kevin Legg '95 were part ofthe 1992 West Coast Conference champi– onship team at USD that made a spectacular run through the NCAA playoffs before losing to top-ranked Virginia in the title game. Today, the trio is back together in an effort to lead the San Diego Flash professional minor league team to a second straight A-League Western Division crown. "it's kind ofamazing, really, that we 're all together like this again," says Tate, a second-year goalie. "it says a lot about the level at USD. " Joining the trio with the Flash this year is Jamie Munro '99, a star defender. All fou r USD players have contributed mightily in several key wins, though only Legg and Munro start. The 6-foot-5 Adair provides an offen– sive boost off the bench and Tate has shared the goalie duties for a team that has limited opponents to just 1.5 goals a match. Three USD alumni also play for Major League Socce,: the highest level ofsoccer in North America: Goalie Scott Garlick '94 andforward Guillermo Jara '96 playfor the Tampa Bay Mutiny, and Leighton O'Brien '99 is with the San Jose Clash. "We've had a top program for most of the '90's, " says USD men's coach Seamus McFadden, when asked about the number of his former players in the pro ranks. "So in that sense, it's kind of natural. We've had a good run and we're attracting some top players. "
