close 16-14. Leading in the
winning efforts were Danielle
Bemis with 12 kills, Mary Good

ATTN: All Behrend Students!
iAt all Behrend home sporting events, spirit paraphernalia will
be given to students. Such prizes include spirit T-shirts, hats,
land food, like Bruno’s pizza.
Jessica Niedermeyer awaits the ball to serve for the next point in a prior match this year.
These assists were capitalized on
by Good with 16 kills and Bemis
with 10. Leading in defense was
once again Good with 26 digs.
Coach Cindy Jacobelli feels the
key to beating Frostburg in the
AMCC Tournament will be
defense. “We’re a lot smaller, so
we need to frustrate them with
strong defense.”
Their final match this week was
against Pitt-Bradford. The
opponents battled hard, but
couldn’t overcome Behrend. The
Lions pulled through with a 3-2
win. Jessica Neidermeyer, Bemis,
and Good worked hard on defense
with 28, 28, and 30 digs
respectively. Walters, as always,
showed strong setting abilities with
44 assists. Bemis contributed 19
kills, Good was a close second with
16. The team won by scores of 15-
8, 13-15, 12-15, 15-11, and 15-7.
After these 3 matches, several
members of the team have
outstanding statistics with just one
game and the AMCC Tournament
left. Leading in assists is Walters
with 718; she also leads serving
aces with 22. Brianne Engelbert
leads the team in blocking with 42,
23 of which were solo. On the
offensive side, Good leads with 235
kills, with Bemis in second with
191. Good also leads the defense
with 466 digs. Next week the Lady
Lions will wrap up conference play
against Pitt-Greensburg. On
November 3 and 4 they will battle
for the AMCC Tournament title.
Coach Jacobelli has high hopes
of success; “We’re playing our best
volleyball of the year going into the
tournament.”

Men’s soccer back
on the winning track
by Mike Bello
staff writer
The men’s soccer team improved
its record to 8-7-1 with two wins this
past week. Behrend was victorious
on Wednesday the 18th over Lake
Erie by a 4-0 score, and then they
followed up with a 5-2 win at
Brockport on Saturday, October 21.
After a slow start to the season,
Behrend has now won 5 out of their
last 7 games, turning around what
could have been a disappointing
season.
The match up with Lake Erie
turned out to be a mismatch for
Behrend, as they dominated the
whole way through against their
AMCC opponent. James Martin
began the scoring, with Mime Fry
assisting, in the 35th minute of the
contest, and then 15 minutes after
halftime, Martin added his sth goal
of the season to give the team a 2-0
lead.
Ryan Ohl then followed up with
his sth goal this season, on an assist
from Dan Falk, 10 minutes later as
Behrend continued to roll against
Lake Erie. Sophomore Steve Danch
finished up the scoring with his 2nd
goal of the season in the 86th minute.
Martin also had an assist on Danch’s
goal.
Tommy Sieg had a fairly easy day
in goal, as he only had to stop 3 shots
to record the shutout. Behrend on
the other hand took 15 shots on goal
against Lake Erie, who have
struggled this season to say the least
with a 1-9 record.
The men’s team then played an
afternoon game over in Brockport,
NY, defeating them 5-2. Behrend
jumped out right away when local
native Dave Kowalczyk scored just
1 minute into the game. Falk, who
assisted on the play, then added his
own score a few minutes later to give
Behrend an early 2-0 lead. Junior
defenseman Chad Droz assisted on
Falk’s goal for his first point of the
season.
After a Brockport goal, Falk came
back with his 4th goal of the season,
with an assist from Martin, to seal
the win for Behrend. Brockport was
able to come back with their second
score right before halftime to cut
Behrend’s lead to 3-2, but that was
as close as they would come.
Kowalczyk scored his 6th goal of the
season, with help from Mark
Szewczykowski, in the 52nd minute
of play to give Behrend some
assurance.
Later on, Mike Fry wouldadd his
team leading 7th goal, for a team
leading 15 points, in the 61st minute
to seal the victory. Just like Droz,
freshmen Kris Bauer, out of
McDowell High School, assisted on
Fry’s goal for his first point this
season, and just like Droz, Bauer is
also part of a solid backfield for

Behrend
Sieg was again in goal, and only
had to make 3 saves to do his part
for the win. Behrend again was
dominating over their opponent, as
they were able to convert their 5
goals on just 12 shots. Brockport
was able to get seven shots off, but
it wasn’t enough as Behrend rolled
to their Bth win this season.
After a Wednesday away game
against Case Western, the men’s
soccer team finishes up their season
with a 3 pm home game versus
Buffalo State on Halloween day,
Tuesday the 31st. Behrend will not
only be looking to put a spook into
Buffalo State, but their future
opponents as well, when their
postseason begins on November 3rd
with the AMCC tournament, a place
Behrend now considers their home
away from home after winning 3
titles in the past 4 years.
