October 3, 2005 Huneke Passes Guelker: No. 2 Cougars Streaking          EDWARDSVILLE, ILL. - Southern Illinois University Edwardsville men’s soccer coach Ed Huneke passed a coach legend last weekend in the team’s win over Drury.          Huneke won his 217th game as the Cougars head coach moving ahead of Hall of Famer Bob Guelker, who notched a record of 216-67-21 in 19 years at SIUE.          “Coach Guelker was a legend in the early years of college soccer,” said Huneke. “I don’t look upon myself in the same manner, but I feel fortunate to have shared so many wins and memories with a lot of good players and friends.”          Huneke, who has an overall record of 217-145-26, prepares his team games with Lewis and 17th-ranked UW-Parkside this weekend.          “We have some history of some intense games with both of those teams,” said Huneke. “It will be two big rivals that will meet for some exciting soccer.”          Second-ranked SIUE is 9-1-1 overall, and 5-0-1 as they sit atop the Great Lakes Valley Conference.          After wins over Rockhurst and the Drury during the weekend, the Cougars are unbeaten in their last 27 GLVC regular season contests.          “It’s a nice ledger,” said Huneke. “We have to be careful to not look back and not look too far ahead.”          Mike Banner (Washington, D.C.) sparked the Cougars offense with four goals in the two weekend games. He now ranks first in goals scored.          “We have always known he was a special type player,” said Huneke. “He showed it this weekend.”          John Matthews (Edwardsville) has two goals and one assist on the year. “John is a steady player and a work horse,” said Huneke.          Trevor House (St. Louis) and Mike Zaegel (St. Louis) have anchored the defensive unit that leads the GLVC with a 0.53 goals against average.          “Trevor played very well against Rockhurst,” said Huneke. “Mike is our most consistent back and is so important.”                   -siue cougars-
