By SUSAN GOLDSTEIN
Collegian Sports Writer
The men's tennis team will have a
shot at a winning record when it
meets Millersville at the Penn State
Tennis Club this afternoon at 2:30.
The Lions evened their record at 13-13
Tuesday after defeating Bloomsburg
6-3.
Penn State went into singles com
petition at Bloomsburg down 2-1 after
losing its No. 1 and 2 doubles
matches. Lee Sponaugle and Oliver
Sebastian lost a tough three-set
match at No. 1 to Tim Mitchell and
Scott Gibbs, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5. Ron Mercer
and Mark Hertz lost at No. 2, 6-2, 6-4
to Mark Billone and Steve Augustine
of Bloomsburg. The No. 3 duo of
Adam Steinberg and Bill Dollard
defeated the team of Marc Lupinacci
and Dean Dorio in a three-set match,
6-4, 3-6, 6-2.
Head Coach Holmes Cathrall said
that the outdoor courts at Blooms
burg were very , slow. He said the
courts neutralized his players' power
and speed and shut down their serve
and-volley game.
"All of my guys like fast courts,"
he said. "It was very frustrating for
them."
Despite the surface of the courts,
Cathrall said that the Huskies
shouldn't have beaten any of his
doubles teams. He said that his play
ers are playing tentatively, and are
not going after the ball and finishing
the point.
"If you don't adjust your play prop
erly, you get yourself into a hole," he
said.
Sponaugle, the Lions' No. 1 singles
player, said that the team could have
been better prepared mentally, and
wasn't as sharp as it should have
been.

6-4. At No. 3, Steinberg won in a third
set tiebreaker, 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 over Gibbs.
Glenn Leach, playing at the No. 4
spot followed his teammates with a
win over Augustine, 7-5, 6-4. Mercer
won at No. 5, 6-2, 6-1. Dave Welch lost
the only singles match in a long three
set match to Lupinacci, 2-6, 7-6, 6-4.
Cathrall said that Bloomsburg is
always ready to face the Lions.
"Those guys always get up for us,"
he said. "That's their match of the
year."
After a short break yesterday, the
Lions must now prepare to face Mill
ersville in their second home match
in 23 outings. Cathrall said his play
ers needed the day to get caught up on
some school work, before they leave
for Rutgers and Princeton tomorrow.
Cathrall said that Millersville has
two very good singles players at No. 1
and No. 2, but the match will most
likely be decided by the depth of his
team.
"They are very good at the top, but
they don't have the depth we have,"
he said.
Cathrall said that Young Min
Kwon, Millerville's No. 1 player, pre
viously played No. 1 for South Caroli
na anti Southern Illinois, and is now
using his last year of eligibility at
Millersville.
Sponaugle, who will most likely
face Kwon, said that the two haven't
met since they played in junior tour
naments.

Because nine errors in seven

And finally, because they finished

the Phils are likely to end up 20
games back by the end of IVlpy.
