A full-count, runner on sec
ond pitch to the Phillies center
fielder Shane Victorino ended a
nine-season World Series
Championship drought for the
New York Yankees.
"It feels better than I can re
member," shortstop Derek Jeter
said. "It's been a long time."
Yankees closer Mariano
Rivera delivered the final pitch,
which Victorino softly sliced to
second baseman Robinson
Cano. Cano shoveled the ball
into his glove and delicately
threw it to first baseman Mark
Teixeira to clinch the 7-3 vic
tory over the defending Cham
pion Phillies.
It was Rivera's fourth time
delivering the final pitch of a
World Series to win a champi
onship with the Yankees.
"I still have a huge rush
through all of my body," said
Rivera. "Thank God for this."

Matsui played the game of his
life to lead the Yankees to the
team's twenty-seventh World
Series Championship.
"This is awesome," said Mat
sui. "I can't believe this. This is
the best moment of my life."
Exemplary of a clutch hitter,
Matsui drove in a single-game,
World Series record-tying six
runs off of three hits.
He started his night of terror
on Phillies pitching with a full
count, two-run home run over
the right field bleachers in.the
bottom of the second. Only an
inning later Matsui hit a two
out, two-run single off of a 0-2
count to knock in the winning
run of the game.
Andy Pettitte, off of three
days' rest, started the game for
the Yankees. He was 2-0 in the
World Series and was the win
ning pitcher in each of the Yan
kees three playoff series
clinching victories.
"This is what I came back
for," said Pettitte. "I wanted to
play in front of these fans and

in this ball park."
He threw only 50 strikes in 94
pitches, but the ball had eyes
for Yankees' fielders when the
Phillies' bats would not die.
Manager Joe Girardi won his
first World Series as a manager
and fourth overall in pinstripes.
"This is for the Steinbren
ners, Brian Cashman and his
staff for putting this team to
gether," said Girardi. "This is
for the players and the fans."
Girardi chose to wear num
ber 27 when he was hired as
the Yankees manger to send a
message to the team that its
only goal was a twenty-seventh
championship. He might have
to change his number to 28.
Emotionally stung, defend

Philadelphia Phillies manager
Charlie Manuel offered bitter
sweet words after the game.
"I am proud to be the Phillies
manager," said Manuel. "We
have a great team, but the Yan
kees deserve this. They played
tough, and they played better."

c i 0 6 , e ,,,,),( ", A ca d emic Integrity
Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, fabrication of
information or citations, facilitation of acts of academic dishonesty by others, unauthorized
possession of examinations, submitting work of another person or work previously used
without informing the instructor, and tampering with the academic work of other students.
The University takes violations of Academic Integrity
seriously. When an act of academic dishonesty is
believed to have occurred, the process begins with a
conversation between the faculty member and the
accused student and follows the procedures outlined by
the Faculty Senate (httlyi/www.psu.eduideptioue/
aapprn/G-9.html). Only in the limited instances in which
the faculty member believes that disciplinary, as well
as academic, sanctions are appropriate should the
process move from the realm of faculty and the college
to the Office of Judicial Affairs.
Academic Dishonesty cases which result in academic
sanctions only will not be reported out to others with the
exception of when a subsequent academic dishonesty
violation occurs. When an academic dishonesty case
results in disciplinary action assigned by the JA
Designee, the charge and sanction become part of the
student's record which will be reported out following the
guidelines outlined in our records policy.

"I have to attribute my play to
many years of hard practice,"
Gallentine said. "My coaches
and teammates have pushed
me to be the best I can be."
Behrend took three straight
matches by scores of 25-16, 25-
17 and 25-19.
The Lions jumped out to an
early lead and never surren

test. The team rolled through
the second match with even
less resistance.
D'Youville came out with a
new tenacity in the third match
and came close to winning. The

Possibly the best Yankee of
this year's playoffs is also the
most ridiculed by baseball and
Yankee fans alike.
The man's name is Alex Ro

ability to perform in October
baseball ever since he was
adorned in pinstripes in 2004.
Rodriguez quieted his critics
and batted at a .365 clip with a

and drove in 16 RBIs in 15 play
off games.
"f cannot be mfii . e proud of
these guys," said Rodriguez.
"My teammates stood by me,

It is Rodriguez's first time as
a World Series Champion, but
Jeter, Rivera and Pettitte won
their fifth World Series title
along with Jorge Posada.
"I'm excited for these guys
here," said Posada. "We

this time because of pitching."

Behrend went on a 3-1 run to
close out the game, set and

"Our level of play was pretty
consistent throughout the
whole match," said senior
Carissa Jonhston, who had a
team-leading 10 kills along
with sophomore Lauren Dal

increased our intensity as the
match progressed."
It came down to winning
small victories, which were
spread throughout the entire
court for the Lady Lions.
"We had a few key plays dur

to hang onto the lead," said
Johnston. "Everyone stepped
up their game when it was

us by getting to the ball fast and
swinging hard," said Ogden.
"She is unstoppable when she
does that."

On the defensive side of the
game, junior Danielle Woods
led the team with 19 digs.
Johnson and Ogden had three
blocks apiece.
"I thought we were pretty
solid offensively," said head
coach Phil Pisano. "We kept the
pressure on D'Youville by tak
ing good swings and finding
open court space."
The team showed its only
true weakness in struggling to
prevent hitting and service er
rors.
Pisano does not seem to wor

"I truly believe this team is
good enough to claim the
AMCC title," Pisano said. "This
weekend presents an exciting
opportunity and we're looking

Gallentine is going to be tak

"We are going to come out

things are going to happen for
us."
