The Behrend women traveled to
Carnegie Mellon on Tuesday and came
away with a 1-0 victory. The physical
match was evenly played throughout the
first and second halves. "It was a hard,
last-paced game, because it was played
on artificial turf,” junior Jill Yamma
commented. Lisa Fox scored the lone
goal in overtime off a header from a cor
ner kick by Bethany Cummings. Fresh
man goalie Michelle Malatesta posted
the shutout.
"Even though we had a better record
than them, they were ranked higher re

for us," Yamma continued. "If we keep
winning, we have a shot at an NCAA
berth.”

sports editor
The Behrend men’s and
women’s cross country teams com
peted in a Pre-Nationals type set
ting this past weekend at the
Dickinson Invitational. The men’s
team finished in 14th of the 41
teams that competed, and the
women all improved as they pre
pare for the AMCC Championships
on October 24.
The men’s team entered this past
weekend with hopes of getting a
good sense of where they are and
what they will need to do to qualify
for the National Meet. Despite a
14th place finish, Coach Rich
Hoffman is still optimistic that his
team will be able to qualify for Na
tionals. Hoffman said, “we’re go
ing to have to be on top of every
thing that day.” He added, “it will
be a pretty intense race.”
Despite finishing behind where
the men hoped to finish, they still
showed promise this past weekend
as they did a “good job of racing
hard and racing aggressively,” said
Hoffman. The men were able to
finish the race strongly and at the
same time, get "a good feel for the

The women's team was able to use
the Dickinson meet to measure their
own personal improvement. All five
of the women competed and knocked
off substantial time from their previ
ous personal bests. Keri Lowman,
Kelly Friess and Tina Rubay all im
proved their best times by 33, 29, and
36 seconds, respectively. Amy
Bcdnar and Robin Suhrie closed the
gap between them and their team
mates by knocking off about 2:30
from their previous best. It was a
"fantastic race by everyone,"
Hoffman commented.
No matter the outcome of the sea
son. Hoffman is extremely pleased
with the growth and competitive
spirit of his teams. In only Behrend's
second fully competitive season of
cross country, the men and women
have laid the foundation for the fu
ture of cross country for the Lions.
The teams will continue this break
through year this Saturday. Oct 17,
at Pitt-Bradford.
