Lady Lions set foundation

The Penn State Lady Lion
Women's Soccer Team finished
an excellent season on Thursday
with a 10-3-2 record by beating
Hiram College 4-0 on Thursday.
"It was a great game and a great
way to finish the season,"
commented sophomore co-captain
Lara Herrmann.
The game was very physical,
and the scoring was light in the
first half. Melissa Snyder scored
the only goal as she broke away
from Hiram's defenders. She
took it right at their goalkeeper
and took the shot untouched.
When the shot zipped past the
goalie, Penn State Behrend had a
1-0 lead.
Later in the half, the speedy
freshman added another goal to
put Behrend up 2-0 at the half.
The second half was every bit
as gritty as the first half, but it

Call me a "hick,” call me a
"redneck,” call me what you
want, but I prefer to spend my
Saturdays braving the elements in
pursuit of an elusive buck,
turkey, or other game rather than
catching up on valuable sleep
time.
You see, for me, the changing
and falling leaves mean more
than just apple cider and football
games: fall also marks the
beginning of hunting season.
I guess you could call me a
diehard. I've been known to
juggle my schedule and classes
around different hunting seasons.
Sound crazy? Not if you consider
all that hunting has to offer.
Hunting is more than merely
the harvesting of game. It
provides you the opportunity to
"get away from it all" and
witness nature without any trace
of city traffic or crowded malls.
Each trip to the mountains
reminds me of just how hectic
and congested Erie can be.
I could HI! an entire page in
support of hunting's ecological
value. But that's not the point of
this article.
My point is that hunting

featured more scoring for the
Lady Lions. Trisha Baird scored
her 21st goal of the season on a
header to give the Lady Lions an
almost insurmountable 3-0 lead.
Donielle Seifert added the
season's last goal with just under
ten minutes to play to round out
the scoring.
The game also featured another
first for the Lady Lions. Two
players, Julie Stocker and Lisa
Deemer, were given yellow cards
for hard hits on Lady Terrier
players. Stocker was caught in
the act with a retaliation kick for
her card, and Deemer was given a
card for an "accidental" shove of a
Hiram midfielder.
"She was all over me," said
Stocker on her slash off a Lady
Terrier. "The second person
always gets caught. It was
stupid."
"Even though they were
playing very [aggressive] we

very exciting game.
The Steelers struck first with a
touchdown pass to Tom Gardner
to take an early 6-0 lead.
Strip Poker, not to be outdone,
came back with a successful
drive. SP used an option run
around the left end for a
touchdown to knot up the score
6-6.
After stopping The Steelers on
defense, Strip Poker scored
another touchdown to trite the

Questions of gun ownership (the
2nd Amendment) coupled with
unfortunate hunting accidents,
serve as fuel for the anti-hunters'
fires.
Although legal/Constitutional
matters are hardly my area of
expertise, I do have firsthand
knowledge of safe and ethical
hunting. I am convinced that
every hunter has a vital role to
play in preserving the reputation
and status of hunting as a sport.
Each of us has an obligation to
our fellow hunters, lawmakers,
landowners, and the environment
to hunt responsibly and legally.
Playing by the rules helps to
ensure your safety as well as the
quality of your hunt.
I can't stress enough the
importance of safe and smart
hunting. You could be the
safest, most ethical hunter ever to
go afield, but the guy headed in
your direction might be a drunk
or a trigger happy fool ready to
shoot at the slightest movement
or the faintest noise.
The number of accidents could
be greatly reduced if every
hunter’s actions were governed by
common sense.
Each year the Pennsylvania
Game Commission includes a
handbook with the purchase of a
hunting license. Besides

composure and win with style,"
said Herrmann.
Stocker agreed saying, "It was
a type of team that we weren’t
used to playing. So we scored
goals, finished business, and got
on the bus."
The players were very happy
with the way the team played
over the whole season.
"I'm very satisfied with the
whole year," Herrmann remarked.
"We had a GREAT winning
record and we have started a
program that will hopefully
follow in the winning tradition
here at Behrend."
The game also marked the last
collegiate soccer game for two of
the founding players of the
program. And it was emotional
for both of them.
"This was an emotional season
for me," replied a teary-eyed
Stocker. "I watched the last

bag limits, the book lists the
rules of safe hunting. Among
them are "Practice courtesy and
self control," "Preselect a zone of
fire," and "Assume every noise
and movement is another hunter;
if there's any doubt whatsoever -
don't shoot" (25-26).
It should be obvious that there
is a direct relationship between
common sense and safety.
So, if you are a hunter, do your
homework before entering the
woods. Words of safety such as
"always identify your target" are
not meant to be overlooked or
taken into account after an
accident
Think of yourself as an
example to non-hunters. Don't
give them a reason to form
stereotypes that just aren't valid.
If you don't hunt or if you
would go as far as considering
yourself a committed anti-hunter,
ask yourself why. I realize that
