Where a flavor of optimism
and promise, the Behrend Lady
Lion volleyball team shows
real potential for a winning
season.
Coach Jan Wilson has
brought in talented freshmen to
complement last season's
players, who compiled a 16-17
record.
Wilson, in her 18th year at
Behrend and is striving for her
300th career coaching victory.
She feels her team has real
potential.
"I want the kids to have a
good season ... to play to their
potential will come with
experience. We must develop
consistency and poise.
Ultimately to {day well"
Senior co-captains Carrie
Sincerely,
Samuel A. Epps IV'
President
Student Government Association
Women ready for
a strong year
Grzejka and Amy Stranahan are
leading the relatively young
Lion volleyball team.
Grzejka, a middle hitter, lead
the team in kills with 125 last
season.
Stranahan, an outside hitter,
lead the team in digs with 224,
but has recently been hampered
by a shoulder injury which has
limited her playing time.
Other key returners are
sophomore middle hitter Molly
Samuels, sophomore outside
hitter Jen Taylor, and
sophomore weak-side hitler Jen
Leone. Samuels and Taylor
were near the leaders on the
team in lulls and blocks during
their freshman seasons. Leone
started her freshman season on
the bench, but worked her way
into the rotation.
Among the talented group of
freshmen on the team is setter
Thursday, September 15,1994
Mitzi Carter. Carter was a
Pennsylvania all-state selection
from Farrel High School.
Angela George, an outside
hitter, also received all-
Pennsylvania recognition from
Windber High School.
Many of the other freshmen
competed in the Junior
Olympics over the summer.
Recently the team went 2-2 in
the Cortland Tournament held
over the Labor Day weekend.
On Sept. 6, the team came back
from 2 games down to win
against Buffalo State. During
the Oberlin Tournament, the
team did not fare as well by
going 2-3 during the
tournament.
When the Lady Lions play
Theil and Hilbert, Grzejka has a
chance to break die career record
for blocks. She currently has
880 blocks and the record is
900.

Prime Time: All-pro
cornerback. Deion Sanders,
signed a one-year deal with the
San Francisco 49ers Wednesday
morning. Sanders, unemployed
by the baseball strike, had the
option to sign with whomever he
wanted. Sanders wants to play
this Sunday against the Los
Angeles Rams in Anaheim.
Not ready for a wheelchair:
Chuck Roseberry is a third-string
tackle for Kutzdown (Pa.)
University. What's so fascinating
about that? Roseberry is a 46-
year-old grandfather who has
served in two wars and is a
victim of Gulf War syndrome. It
has been 29 years since he played
high school football.
It's a 'Burgh thing: The
Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the
Cleveland Browns, 17-10, on
Sunday in Cleveland. Browns’
QB Vinny Testavevde threw four
interceptions, three of which were
picked off by Darren Perry.
Hey, hey goodbye: As of 3
p.m. yesterday, the major league
baseball season was officially
terminated. The strike which has
gone on since mid-August was
going nowhere in the way of
contract negotiations between the
players and the owners. Who
cares? Football has begun.
