The other doubles' match-up of Frizzell and Venema played well, and although they didn't win, they were satisfied with the 8-5 outcome. "We tested out some new strategies for the conference tournament," said freshman Amy Frizzell. "Then we can beat Altoona to a pulp!" When asked about Westminster's performance on Wednesday, Frizzell said they were a "good, consistent team. - Despite all their efforts, the Lions lost 8-1 to the Westminster Titans.

This past Saturday, the Lions traveled to Brockport, N.Y. to participate in the ECA Championship. After a sound, sec ond place showing at the regionals, the Lions did not receive a strong round from any of the players, and came away with a dismal last place finish. "I think everyone was disappointed with the way they played," said standout sopho more golfer Jeff Black. "No one had a fantastic round in their opinion, but some times that just happens and not much can he done about it." On Monday, the Lions looked to re bound from their poor showing at the ECAC Championship, when they went to Peak n' Peek to compete in the AMCC Championship. The Lions got strong performances from Kirk Seth (77) and Anthony Pagliari (76), hut that wasn't enough as the Lions placed fifth out of the six participating teams. Shooting 83s for the team were Angelo schools in the conference. They hope for a high student turnout, so they can be supported when going up against their toughest opponents, mainly Altoona. After losing both matches played against another Penn State branch campus, the Lions are ready for revenge. The match will begin at 9 a.m. on Saturday morning, and in case of unfortunate weather, the tournament will move to Pennbriar Athletic Club in Erie at 3 p.m.. With an overall record of 7-10 and a conference record of 3-2, the team is ready to bring out all the stops when it visits Edinboro on Friday and La Roche on Saturday. 4402 Buffalo Rd.... 899-231,3 Scott Soltis and Zoe Rose, sports editors Sestili and Dan Russo The Lions (317) were 11 shots behind the winner, Pitt Bradford (306). "We could not put a decent complete round together," explained first year head coach Mark Murphy. "Each person seemed to have one bad hole that could have made the differ- ence." Although the Lions struggled at the end of the fall, there is much to look forward too this spring and to the ap- proaching future. The young Lions featured just one junior and one senior, and expect to have everyone else back for the next couple of years. "We were a young team this fall and we gained a lot of experience," said Black. "I think a lot of our guys are getting more confident in their games and I believe we will be a team to be reckoned with next year." .ifah.
