Lady Lions “heads up” in victory against St. Vincent

Collegian Staff
Last Saturday the Lady Lions
made the long trip down to
Latrobe to battle St. Vincent
College. On the same field on
which the Pittsburgh Steelers
practice, the Lady Lions whipped
St. Vincent College 4-1.
Senior co-captain Julie Stocker
supplied the emotion as she
scored on two headers to lead the
Lady Lions to victory.
“I’m ecstatic about my two
goals,” exclaimed Stocker about
the first two markers of her career
at Behrend. “Mary Ann Rupp
gave me two great cross passes to
help me score. She made it easy
for me.”
Stocker scored off of an indirect
kick and a comer kick.
Trisha Baird notched the other
two goals for Behrend as the
offense looked tough all day and
pounded out the victory.
Three out of the four Behrend
goals bounced off a Lady Lion
head. And all three of the header
goals were assisted by Rupp.
“The team played together very
well,” commented co-captain Lara
Herrmann. “We possessed the
ball very well, and we were
successful at finishing [scoring].”
Stocker agreed saying. “We’re
playing very well together right
now.”
The defense played great
allowing few holes for St.
Vincent's players to go through
to score.
“[The defense] was solid, and

we only gave up a few shots,”
commented senior sweeper
Michelle Finch. “We’ve had vast
improvements with every game.”
Goalkeeper Katie Thomas was
solid, allowing only a penalty
kick to score, and she, too, was
impressed at how well the team
kept the opposition far away.
“I think we finished very well.
My defensive backs saved me
from having to stop a lot of
shots,” responded Thomas
thankfully. “The one goal on a

penalty kick was tough for me to
stop.”
Herrmann gave a lot of credit
to Rupp whose excellent passes
set up shots.
“Rupp had an excellent game
with great crosses and, we were
able to connect and score with
them,” added Herrmann.
The Lady Lions had a chance to
make this a blowout, but late
shots by Kristie Amon and Lisa
Deemer hit the crossbar and
bounced wide.
The Lady Lions moved to 4-2-
1 and will play Hiram College
today.
