Wake up call: Wake Forest
took a big step to winning its
first ACC regular season
championship in 33 years by
beating No. 2 North Carolina 79-
70 last night. Wake's center Tim
Duncan outplayed his well know
counterpart Rasheed Wallace in
the victory. Duncan scored 25
points and grabbed 12 rebounds.
Wake's record stands at 20-5
overall and 11-4 in the ACC.
Continuing to be the best:
The Pittsburgh Penguins still
remain as the best team in the
NHL. With their 7-5 victory
over Quebec Monday night, the
Penguins own the best record in
hockey at 14-3-2. Penguin right
wing Jaromir Jagr leads the
league in scoring 15 goals and 17
assists for 32 total points. Jagr
and the Penguins take on Buffalo
tonight at Buffalo's Memorial
Arena.

Notes from around the

Dominique Wilkins needs to
score 59 points to reach the
25,000 point plateau.
Phoenix Suns' forward Danny
Manning had surgury on Tuesday

Cleveland Browns arc to sign
vetern quarterback Phil Simms.
A proven quarterback like Simms

Coming on strong
by Brian Gregory
Collegian Staff
He shoots. He scores!!!!
Those were the words of the
fans in attendence Sunday
evening as Panther right-winger
Cam Brown put a rebounded puck
into the net with 2:34 left in
overtime to give the Panthers a
hard-fought 4-3 win over the
Charlotte Checkers.
"We worked extremely hard
tonight," said Coach Ron Hansis.
"Brown, (Kevin) McKinnon,
(Jeff) Hoad, and (Carl) Fleury
were playing great. Everybody
chipped in and that was the key
(to victory) tonight."
And when Coach Hansis says
everybody chipped in, he means
it.
Erie got the scoring underway
at the 4:02 mark of the first
period as Hoad took a pass from
Todd Harris and put the puck in
the back of the net. But
Charlotte answered back :23
seconds later as Darryl Noren
scored to tie the score at 1-1.

But, Eric was not done for the
period. Carl Fleury, who has had
a hot stick lately scored his 11th
goal of the season to give the
Panthers a 2-1 lead at the first
intermission. Jeff Hoad and
Sverre also picked up an assist on
the power play goal.
The second period featured a lot
of tough defense as Charlotte's
goalie Jon Hillebrandt, Olympic
product and New York Ranger,
stopped all 13 Erie shots. The
lone goal came at the 4:39 mark
as Matt Robbins scored a power
play goal.
At the 7:32 mark of the third
period Noren had an unassisted
goal to give the Checkers a one
goal lead. The Panthers clawed
their way back as Stephane
Charbonneau scored his 43rd goal
of the season to tie the game at
3-3.
The last ten minutes of the
game were characterized by
fantastic goaltending by Francis
Ouellette. "Franky played great,"
said teammate Jeff Hoad. "He
made four or five saves with the
pressure on (him)."
Coach Hansis echoed his praise
for Ouellette. "Franky was
unbelievable on a key fleury of
shots late in the third."
"All lines chipped in, not just
the big three. I have confidence
Cross country
by Nick Zulovich
Assistant Sports Editor
Athletics is expanding once
again at Penn State-Behrend.
Plans are being made for the
introduction of men's and
women's varsity cross country
teams for the fall of 1996.
Athletic Director Herb Lauffer
is very enthusiastic about
bringing men's and women's
cross country to Behrend.
"Many students who come here
to Behrend have a competitive
background in cross country. We
are very happy that we'll be able
to take advantage of these
students' abilities," explained
Lauffer.

in all 3 lines," said Hansis
And then it happened again.
Sparked by a sloppy first period
the Panthers came out lighting
fast to score five goals in seven
and a half minutes. Eric took 26
shots on Hampton-Rhode's goalie
Shamus Gregga and knocked him
silly.
Eric rolled to a 6-4 win over
the Admirals as Todd Dvorak
scored two goals, Bellerose,
Brown, Hoad, and Mehalic found
the net once, and Stephane
Chartxmneau had three assists and
grabbed the first star of the game.
"We had a bad pregame skate
and we just carried it over to the
first period," said Charbonncau.
"We knew that they would be
tired in the second so we didn't
panic, we just came out and
played well. We'll take the win."
"We really struggled in the first
people. The goals we gave up
were just sloppy," remarked
Hansis. "Once Dvorak started it
off... this was one of our best
periods of the year."
The Panthers go on the road for
four of the next five games. On
Sunday they play Wheeling down
in West Virginia. You can see
the Panthers at home Saturday
the 11th as part of a home-away
series against their old rivals, the
Johnstown Chiefs.
Specific details are still being
worked out. Various
arrangements from class
scheduling to finding a cross
country coach will be finalized
throughout this summer and next
fall.
"A course and curriculum will
have to be designed (similar to
basketball or soccer)," stated
Lauffer.
Lauffer explained, "The
Behrend campus itself is very
conductive for competitive cross
country. A very competitive
course can be designed."
With the addition of men's and
women's cross country, it raises
the number of varsity sports at
Behrend to twelve.
Happy Birthday to Russ!

and The Collegian staff.
