November 7, 1974 Cubs Shatter Records by Jay Schonthaler Sports Editor Despite incurring narrow losses in their final two contests, the Behrend soccer team is pleased with their showing this past season. - The team carried a 6-3-1 chart with two games remaining, but lost- those pair of games by identical 1-0 scores, first to Houghton and then_to Grove City last week. While the Cubs' pet forma-nce against Houghton was generally regarded as their best of the year, Coach Lauffer had a much different opinion of . the Grove City match. "I don't think we impressed too many people that day," 'he summarized. Grove City put the winning shot in with 35 minutes remaining - in the second half and kept Behrend busy most of the afternoon, outshooting the Cubs, 20-10. • For the entire season, though, Coach Lauffer said he felt his team accomplished what it had hoped to do. "We needed to strengthen ourselves defensively and, as the scores would indicate, we got that effort." The Cubs shut out four opponents, a new single season record, and were involved in several 1-0 decisions. Coach Lauffer explained his philosophy with regard to the past season. "All year long we've stressed team work, team effort. I told the guys that if every player does his job, we'll get something accomplished in those ninety minutes." This approach proved to be successful. Ten members of Behrend's squad have received at least one vote for nomination to the All-Conference team, with results of the final vote to be announced early next week. "I think that's very significant as to the type of team this has been," Lauffer indicated. In addition to the new shutout mark, Behrend made the record book in a number of other departments. Goalie Mickey Brosius spearheaded the defense, setting a school standard for the lowest number of goals allowed per game with a 1.08 average. He twice turned in a season high of 15 saves and had 14 in another game. John Fleming and Mark Rudolf tied the Behrend record for assists in one season with six each. Fleming is now second in career assists with ten. Steve Motycka contributed two assists this season and is now third on the all-time Behrend list with eight.

Last Wednesday evening, October 30, the volleyball team competed in a triangular match with Allegheny and Mercyhurst Colleges. They kept their season at .500 by losing to Allegheny, in a heartbreaker, and coming back to beat Mercyhurst in'the second match. Pam Grimm was the shining star, for the girls team, by scoring 19 points in the Allegheny match. She sparked the girls to victory in the first game 15-11, but then the team fell apart and dropped the last two 7- Have you read item No. 10 in the Student Handbook?

Kenny The Behrend Basketball team hosted Jamestown Junior College last Friday in a pre-season scrimmage. The main idea of scrimmaging is to give teams a chance to work against different defenses and various types of offenses. Friday's game was very successful in this respect. Jamestown ran a zone press against the Cubs, something which they did not have a lot of experience with. Jamestown ran a small team, and was very quick in the area of offense also. There goals each. Paul Newman put two scores in the net and Moore, Fleming, Lonnie Lindemuth and Jeff Leonard all came through with one goal. "As a, group, as a team, they did a lot to bring recognition to this school," declared a satisfied Coach Lauffer. Head For Tournament 15 and 13-15 to lose the match. After losing to Allegheny, Behrend came into the Mer cyhurst match disappointed and lost the first game 3-15. The team then woke up to take the last two 15-2 and 15-9. Sue Mitchell served for 11 points with Donna Dunbar and Darlene Howell assisting the winning cause. On Saturday the volleyball team played Beaver and Villa Colleges, also at Erie Hall. Again they kept their record even at 4-4 by beating Beaver and losing to Villa. Beaver, who is going into state competition, won the middle game 15-7 but dropped the outer games to Behrend by 15-1 and 15- 11 margins. Sue Mitchell and Pam Grimm teamed to lead the scoring against Beaver with 11 and 10 points respectively. The second team gained ex perience when Coach Janet Wilson played them against Villa's first team. Diane Shafer scored 17 points and Barb Egglin added some outstanding serving to the three very close games. Villa came out on top of the match by winning 15-7 and 15-13 after losing the first game to Behrend 15-11. A pat on the back were a lot of turnovers. Accor ding to Coach Sweeting "Jamestown 'out-quicked' us at times and we out-executed them at times." Jamestown averaged -105 points per game last year which shows that the Cubs were up against a challenge and not just an easy victory. Head Coach Roger Sweeting was pleased saying, "They gave us a good chance to work on the zone press. It gave me an excellent chance to see who plays well under pressure. If nothing else, it reminded me that the best fine players may be different for each game. I'm pleased with the workout. It was good." It appears that the team is starting to put it all together.

This Saturday, the team will travel down to New Kensington Campus for the Commonwealth Tournament. The Commonwealth Tourney, a double elimination tournament, includes Altoona, Beaver, Fayette, New Ken sington, McKeesport, and Behrend. The cubettes are BARE' KAYS 01V11* However, some of the problems the Cubs faced were too many bad passes and too many turp overs. The team shooting average is not as high as one may like, but a lot of points were scored inside last Friday. Coach Sweeting plans to work on the zone press some more, and also "team" defense. It is not as well coordinated as Coach Sweeting would like. Larry MacAleer had a good game once again. He did very well bringing the ball upcourt against the zone press. Chesko did well in the shooting depart ment, while Szorek once again took top rebounding honors. Coach Sweeting, still looking for the right starting - squad - had this to say "It is still primarily a problem of getting the right combination. Consistency of performance is one of the things I'm looking for." Behrend hosts Lake Land Community College this Satur day at 1:30 in another scrim mage. looking for a successful outing. They are setting their sights on Altoona, who usually wins the tourney. There are three more matches left after the tourney. On November 12, the girls will travel to Thiel to compete in a triangular match with that college and Grove City. Another. match with Villa will be played on November 14 at Villa. And, of course, there was the last home match last evening. Were you there? Page Three
