Page 12 Reinhardt, Kapral, and Ruta lead Lions by Brian Gregory Co-Editor Sports The Penn State Behrend Lions (3-2) came out fired up last night and beat Oberlin in an intense 5-3 soccer scrap.. Matt Kapral gave Behrend an early 2-0 lead scoring on two passes from Travis Lang. Oberlin got two late goals in the first to knot the score at 2- 2 at the half. “Nothing magical,” answered Head Coach Dan Perritano on what he said during his halftime speech. “(The players) just convinced themselves about what they needed to do to win.” Behrend got two second half goals within two minutes to take a late 4-2 lead. Kevin Reinhardt got his with twenty one minutes to go and Lang followed two minutes later. But Obelin moved to within one with just over seven minutes to go. Reinhardt was back knocking on the door seconds later as he scored on a penalty kick to insure the 5-3 triumph. After the game Perritano was very happy with his team’s style and prose. “We put away opportunities and that’s a big difference (from previous games). Matt Kapral deserves a big pat on the back.” Aces in the Hole by Brad Waldbaum CoUegiaM Staff This year’s golf team looks to have a better future than that of last year’s team. With an impressive second place finish in their first golf match of the fall season, they could very well be on their way. Mercyhurst was the only school to finish higher than Penn State Behrend at last week's Edinboro Invitational. David Koster recorded a hole in-one on a long par three hole. "I just said to be the club,” siad an excited Koster. “I saw the ball hit a few feet in front of the hole and then I looked down. I knew some of the guys 1 was playing with. I thought they were teasing me when they told me the ball went into the hole.” Coach Herb Lauffer commented on his team’s strength due to the quality of good players, "There is a lot of potential for us to have a good year. We have a good foundation of team leadership in David Koster and Chris Donalies. We are capable of being a competitive foree," said Lauffer. Lauffer said his goal was for the team to average 325 strokes or better per match, but he realizes this is a much loftier goal than what could have been expected last year. However, he feels that he is dealing with a much better team this year. Labor Day weekend, The Behrend Lion Soccer team got off to a great start beating Kings College 4-1 and Oswego College 1-0 en route to winning the Lochbaum Rehabilitation Penn State Behrend Invitational and a 2-0 record. However they ended up on the short side of a 6-1 score against SUNY-Fredonia and lost in a downpour Sunday 3-0 to Marietta to even their record at 2-2. “It was a great start to our season,” commented Head Coach Perritano on the tourney victory. The opening game on August 31st was played in front of a large crowd at Penn State Behrend and they were in for a treat. When the dust had settled and the Lions had won, Ryan Ruta had notched a hat trick and added an assist for a spectacular performance. Travis Lang assisted on both the first and second Ruta goals. “He’s one of our most creative players in the middle of the field,” added Perritano on Ruta’s all-star performance. Inspired by Ruta’s performance the Lions came out fired up on Sunday shutting out Oswego 1-0. Three new talented faces on the team this year are Matt Curry, Brad Johnston, and Mark Kacprowitz. "We have a more well rounded team this year than last year, and if we work hard enough, we can make good things happen," says Lauffer. Even after the impressive start at the September 4th Edinboro Invitational, Lauffer does not want his team to rest easily. "We still need to go work hard and not get too relaxed after our victory, even though I am very happy with the performance," Lauffer says. Sports Kevin Reinhardt scored the games only goal five minutes before halftime. Phillip Gouker had four saves to preserve the shutout. “The win against Oswego was a great win for the start of the season,” said Perritano. Last Wednesday the Lions ran into offensive juggernaut Fredonia. Fredonia scored their first goal in the First minute of play off a throw in. Behrend however came back to tie the score at 1-1 on a goal by Matt Kapral. Fredonia was much too powerful as they scored the next five goals for the victory. The Blue Devils had an almost unheard of thirty-seven shots of which twenty-four were saved by Behrend netminder Phil Gouker. The next game for the Lions is Saturday at Mount Union. The next home match is September 23 against the Bengals of Buffalo State on the soccer field. Come out and show your support.
