Sophomore Mike Fry has been the
leading scorer thus far for the Behrend
Lions. He has amassed five goals, and
his ten points also pace the team. Dave
Kowalczyk and Martin are tied for
second with three goals each, and
Pentz has contributed a team high five
story did not change. The women's
team registered forty-six shots on
goal. Despite the onslaught, the team
managed only six goals, but the score
was an afterthought in a game
dominated by Behrend. Malatesta
faced only one shot all day. The win
over Pitt-Greensburg stretched the
team's winning streak to six in a row
after having dropped two successive
games. Amy Laßocca had two goals
and an assist. Louise Wintegerter
scored a goal in the 88th minute to
cap off the day.
Possibly the most highly
anticipated match took place on
October 3. The Allegheny Lady
Gators' soccer team is ranked above
the Behrend lions' team in the Great
Lakes poll decided upon by soccer

Cindy Jacobelli said, "this is a great
opportunity to travel and see some
California style volleyball. We are
halfway through the AMCC schedule
