Women’s tennis three-peat
The women’s tennis team three-peated as Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) champions this past fall season.
From the start, the women's tennis team was poised to win their third AMCC title in as many years. Behrend dominated the AMCC from
the beginning of the season and they ended up with an overall record of 17-2. Most important, their conference record was a perfect 10-0,
which secured them the top seed at the conference tournament. Besides being undefeated in conference play, the women’s tennis team also
set a school record for w'ins by winning 17 matches.
Behrend also dominated the all-conference teams, with six players being named to one or more All-Conference teams. Penn State
Behrend’s Julie Leininger, Jamie Brubaker, Angela Albertson, Jen Morton, and Christine Chan were named to the AMCC All-Conference
singles first-team. Julie Leninger and Jamie Brubaker also were named to the AMCC All-Conference doubles first-team. AMCC All-
Conference recognition also was given to Emily Rubin, AMCC All-Conference singles second-team, and Christine Chan and Jen Morton for
AMCC All-Conference doubles third-team. “They all played very well,” women’s tennis coach Jeff Barger said.
Mens soccer upsets Frostburg for championship
The Penn State Behrend men’s soccer team claimed the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) championship
this past fall. The Lions defeated AMCC rival Frostburg State by a score of 2-1 en route to claiming the championship.
Men's soccer coach Dan Perritano was excited about wanning a second AMCC championship. “Our players displayed a
positive and enthusiastic spirit in this tournament,” Perritano said. “We put away our chances to defeat a very talented team.”
This is the second time that the Behrend Lions have defeated Frostburg en route to the AMCC title. Frostburg fell to the Lions
in the inaugural championship 1-0 after Behrend posted a 12-8 season. Last year, the Lions set a school record by ending the
season 13-9, but fell to Frostburg in the AMCC championship game, 4-0.

It’s official. There will never be another intercollegiate basketball game
played in Erie Hall.
With a 64-60 win over Alvemia College on March 2, Erie Hall’s storied
history as the home of the Lions ended.
Alvernia brought an 18-9 record to the contest, and had won the
Pennsylvania Athletic Conference tournament to earn the spot in the game
Behrend’s win improved their overall record to 24-3, and added to their
school record for wins in a season.
The win also propelled the men’s team to the second round of the NCAA
Division 111 Tournament where they would defeat Rochester Institute of
Technology.
Behrend continued their dream season with a win over Cortland State to
advance to the Elite Eight.
Salem State stopped the Lions one game short of the Final Four with a
75-69 victory, despite a gutsy effort by the Behrend players.
The miracle run of the Lions made their 1999-2000 season, a “season for
the ages.”

Women’s soccer wins
title in dramatic fashion
The Lions advanced to the ECAC playoffs this past fall after winning their third
AMCC Championship in as many years on October 31.
Behrend opened the AMCC Championships against Lake Erie in the semi-final match.
Behrend defeated Lake Erie 3-0 en route to the championship game against AMCC rival
Frostburg. But the Bobcats were no match for Behrend, as Frostburg was shutout by
goalkeeper Michelle Malatesta, as the Lions captured their third straight AMCC title by
winning 2-0.
Playing in difficult weather conditions, the Lions fell one goal behind at halftime after
a goal by Villa Julie’s second leading scorer Kerri Harman. Not to be outdone,
Behrend’s Bethany Cummings tied the game at one a piece at the 65th minute. The
game would remain tied throughout the rest of regulation and almost two overtime
periods. Heroics provided by Penn State goalkeeper Michelle Malatesta allowed the
Behrend Lions to remain tied with the opposing Mustangs.
With 38 seconds remaining in the second overtime, Penn State Behrend’s Amy
Laßocca kicked the shot heard ‘round the campus’ when she scored the winning goal.
Her goal helped to advance the Lady Lions to the semi-finals in the ECAC Tournament.
