It was not enough, though, to gain much ground on the Lady Li
ons' lead as they came away with the 49-35 victory.
Behrend was led by junior forward Amber Krumpe and freshman
forward Tenesha Aden with 10 points apiece. Aden also picked up
nine rebounds in the game. La Roche's leading scorer was JaNet
Walston with 12 points.
The win salvaged a week in which the Lady Lions dropped to 13-
5 overall, 5-1 in the AMCC. The loss to Pitt-Greensburg also dropped
Behrend into a tie for the conference lead with the Lady Bobcats. It
also broke the seven-game winning streak that the Behrend squad
had going.
Although the loss was disappointing for the team, they are still in
the hunt for the conferenc title.
One of the keys to the team's success has been stellar defensive
play by the entire team. The Lady Lions lead the AMCC in several
defensive categories, including scoring defense, field goal defense
and rebounding defense.
While basketball is always a team game, it seems to be even more
evident on the Behrend squad as there is no player leading in an indi
vidual category in the AMCC statistics.
Also, in the last five games, the leading scorer has been someone
different every time. This unselfishness on the team has contributed
heavily to the Lady Lions winning eight straight games and 13 of
their last 15.
The Behrend squad will continue its AMCC season by traveling to
Beacon: What is your best memory off the fleld/out of the wa
ter?
Smock: Too many to name! I love all the people that I train with
There are so many crazy memories from soccer and swimming!!
Beacon: What are your plans after graduation?
Smock: Not sure yet. Thinking about getting my teaching certifi
cate from Pitt but I might take some time off to figure out if that's
what I really want to do
Beacon: How hard is it to play two very competitive, very time
consuming sports?
Smock: Umm... Well it's very physically demanding. I wouldn't re
ally say that it's that hard though. It's all about time management.
Beacon: How do you balance schoolwork, sports and a social
life?
Smock: Well I make sure that I get my work done before I have
fun, and sometimes I try and do work ahead of time so I have less
to worry about and so I actually have some time to relax.
Beacon: What's the best thing about each of your respective
teams?
Smock: Hmm ... well for both teams I would say that I have met 40
people (or however many there are) that will stay with me no

matter where I go in life. Each and everyone of them has made a
lasting impression on me and taught me something new about life.
Being on two teams you get to see a variety of personalities and I
think that's what makes it so great for me. The team chemistry for
both teams is just amazing.
Beacon: Is there anything in your career at Behrend you would
do over or would like to have seen a different outcome?
Smock: There isn't a thing that I would change. I have met so many
people, made life-long friendships, kept life-long friendships and
have had so many crazy memories. I think that this college experi
ence has shaped the person I have become and I'm happy with that.
Beacon: What's a little known fact or talent about you?
Smock: I have two amazing parents that have always supported me
in everything I do and always wanted me to be the best that I could
be. Most of my successes are products of their love and support.
Beacon: Do you find it an advantage/disadvantage to going to
college so close to home?
Smock: I look at it two ways: I think it's an advantage because I
saved a lot of money by living off campus; I think of it as a disadvan
tage because I think I am more distracted at home. I think if I lived
on campus or was away at school that I would get my homework
done easier without interruptions.
Beacon: How often do you read the Beacon?
Smock: I try and read it every week.
