Women run into some tough teams
by Brian Gregory
Collegian Staff
Yesterday afternoon, the Lady
Lions made the trip to Meadville
to battle the Allegheny Lady
Gators. The two teams battled to
a 2-2 draw.
The scoring began for the Lady
Lions in the middle of the first
half when Trisha Baird took a
pass from Julie Stocker and beat
the Allegheny keeper to knot the
score up a 1-1. The score came
less than a minute after
Allegheny had scored.
Later in the half, Baird notched
her second goal to give the Lady
Lions a 2-1 halftime advantage.
Donielle Seifert had the assist.
When you sit back
and put it in
perspective, with the
effort given out here
today, it speaks a lot
that (our) first year
program tied a 10
year program. It
speaks volumes.

The score remained 2-1 until
the 37:35 mark of the second half
when Alleghany scored to tie the
game at 2-2.

This week's Housing and Food
Services athlete of the week is
Behrend's answer to Alexi Lalas.
Not only does Dave Harrison's
aerial acrobatics resemble Lalas,
but his hair is just as wild.
"Despite not playing in a
offensive position, Dave still has
the ability to dominate the game
from his defensive sweeper
position," stated Coach Dan
Pcrritano.
His outstanding defensive play
is evident by the men's soccer
team shutting out their last three
opponents: Buffalo State, Keuka,
and Pitt-Bradford.
"Dave is very assertive. He
controls our defensive back four,"
stated Coach Perritano.
Team captain Kevin "Olph”
Rinchardt added, "Harrison shows
good leadership from the back.
He is very vocal, always giving
directions, keeping the defense
alive."
"He has very good technique,
outstanding timing and a
combination of speed and
strength that makes him such an
effective sweeper," remarked
Perritano. "He is also absolutely
a great player in the air.”
Harrison credits much of his
outstanding play to his speed,
tackling ability and of course his
hair. He also takes a very simple
approach to each game." My
goal is to eliminate the number
of shots on goal," proclaimed
Harrison.
Teammate Brian Fisher simply
stated, "Dave is an intense player,
even though it hurts right now,"
commented Head Coach Dan
Perritano.
"When you sit back and put it
in perspective, with the effort
given out here today, it speaks a
lot that (our) first year program
tied their 10 year program. It
speaks volumes."
The hurt itself can be
positive," added Perritano,
"because it shows they care."
The win was a big boost after a
tough weekend for the Lady
Lions. On Saturday, the mighty
Lady Warriors of Keuka College
came to Behrend and beat the
Lady Lions 7-0.
"They had 11 very talented
players on the field at all times,"
commented senior defensive back
Julie Stocker. "They were a very
skillful and disciplined team.”
“This loss kind of put things
back in perspective for us,"
commented Assistant Coach Rick
Nese.
"We're a first year program and
we're doing well, but we still
have a long way to go.”
Coach Perritano found a few
big pluses in the loss.
"I think we got some
direction," Perritano remarked. "I
think always playing better teams
will make [us] a better
team....and they were very good."
