record to an even 15-15.
The week stained out with an
away match at Frostburg State.

play at 5-0. Frostburg came into
the match one spot behind
Behrend in the AMCC standings
at second place.
Although the Lady Lions had
beaten Frostburg once earlier in
the year, they were not as lucky
this time around, falling in four
games, 12-15, 15-13, 7-15, and
10-15.
The loss for Behrend drops
them into a tie for first place with
Frostburg in the AMCC.

This weekend's tri-way match
with conference foes Laßoche and
Lake Erie will determine the
AMCC champ and decide who will
host the conference tourney.
Coach Dan Perritano has also
led the men's soccer to a second
place finish in the regular season.
The only loss for the Lions during
AMCC action was by one goal to
Frostburg State.
Despite having to travel to
Frostburg for the tournament
Perritano's team is still in a good
position to win the AMCC title.
Not only has it been an exciting
year on the field of play for
Behrend athletes, it has also been
an eventful one for the fans of Lion
athletics.
The half-time of all home games
has featured the Damon's Soccer

The promotions at the sporting
events is one of the new ideas the
athletic department has instituted
in an attempt to include the student
body and bring more fans out to
the games.
The use of half-time give-aways
and free admission (with student
ID) will continue into the winter
season.
November 15 will be the first
opportunity for the fans to come
out and support the Behrend
basketball programs at the second
annual Fan Jam.
Students will have the chance to
watch the inter-squad scrimmages
and participate in several events to
win various prizes afterwards.
Tickets for basketball, football, and
hockey games will be raffled off at
the event. Raffle tickets can be
purchased from any member of the
men's or women's basketball team.
