Lady Lions come up empty at ECAC tournament by Matt Plizga sports *silks,' The Lady Lions finished their season by defeating Frostburg State for the AMCC soccer title, or so they thought. But Coach Dan Perritano's team earned a playoff bid to the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference tournament and continued their outstanding season. - Unfortunately the season came to an end when they lost 1-0 to Vassar College on Saturday afternoon. "They played with a lot of emotion and appreciated the opportunity they earned," said Paritano. Behrend's effort and emotion carried than into the 82' d minute of the game with a 0-0 tie against the strong Vassar squad. Vassar broke the deadlock with just eight minutes left in the game, sending the Lady Lions to just their sixth loss of the year. "Although we didn't win, we walked off the field feeling good about ourselves and our effort," said Perritano. SUBWPr STUCK IN BURGER-TORY?

STORE ADDRESSES Vassar went on to win two games to win the ECAC regional tournament The Behrend women's soccer program should be feeling good about themselves, having advanced to the ECAC tournament in just their third year since becoming a varsity sport. They played with a lot of emotion and appreciated the opportunity they earned. Coach Dan Perritano "A good commitment from the school and improvement from the players has been important to the rapid development of the team," said Perritano. 00It. e vows I Over the past three years the women's soccer team has compiled an impressive record of 35-14-3, rarely receiving much credit for their accomplishments. But, the new conference has already changed some of that. Coach Perritano received the AMCC coach of the year award while guiding his team to a record 14 wins and the inaugural AMCC soccer title. Freshman Katie Giles won the ileWicamer of the year award in the conference while five of her teammates made the all-conference team. Senior defender Michelle Finch and sophomore Jill Yamma joined junior forward Lisa Fox, senior midfielder Lam Herrmann and junior Jen Bargiband on the all- AMCC team. This season for the Lady Lions has been a record-breaking quest for the young and successful program. Although they will lose three important players from this year squad they will surely be looking forward to defending their conference championship and returning to the ECAC tournament.

Thomas Helmkamp scored on a free kick from the corner of the penalty box in the 75 minute to give the Lions the lead. Senior Ryan Ruta delivered the ball to Helmkamp to record the assist.
