Women's tennis captures AMCCs

Behrend's women's tennis team cap
tured their second straight AMCC title
and their sixth overall on Sunday, October
16, 2005, at the Oxford Athletic Club in
Wexford, PA. Showing very little strug
gle this season, the Lions posted an unde
feated record for the 2005 season, being
named the number one seed and the
favorite to win the title.
Such supremacy was proven in the cham
pionship event last Sunday as the Lady
Lions overwhelmed the opposition.
Behrend gained 16 points, Altoona gained
six, Chatham gained three, and Frostburg
State was shut out.
"Our goal was to make all the finals
which we did," said head coach Jeff
Barger. "We played outstanding doubles
which set us up for the singles. All the
ladies played hard and played well."
Many times, when a team has very high
expectations, it is easy for them to slip
and not play to their potential. In the case
of the Blue and White, this cliché occur
rence was not even possible. Allison

Yankowski (Bethel Park/Bethel Park) and
Shelley Goodpastor (Sharon/Sharon) won
their single matches in the championship.
Meanwhile, the tandem of Mudrey and
Calvert dominated their doubles event.
Yankowski and Goodpastor teamed up to
win their doubles match while Amy
Frizzell (Grove City/Grove City) and
Susan Cooper (Pittsburgh/Mount
Lebanon) also contributed to the total
In addition to the team accolades, one
Behrend individual received individual
recognition for her stellar efforts. Along
with finishing triumphant in her champi
onship matches, sophomore Allison
Mudrey was named AMCC Player of the
Week in Tennis. Arguably the most out
standing statistic for Mudrey is her aver
sion and elusion to losing. Since she first
laced up her tennis shoes for the Lady
Lions, she has not lost an AMCC match,
maintaining a 16-0 record.
While remaining undefeated in the
AMCC, the Lady Lions also posses a 13-
3 overall record. When asked what they
key to his teams' success this season,
Barger said, "Our success is attributed to
the fact that we work hard, and that we
have had some outstanding players and
students."
