The women's basketball squad controlled the opening tipoff and
the entire game in rolling to a win over Gannon.
Girls cage squad
adds two more wins
By Muriel Hykes
The Behrend Girl s Basketball
team was the victor in two games
last week. On Thursday, Feb. 6,
Behrend defeated Mercyhurst
girls at Gannon by a score of 54-39
despite many penalties. And on
Saturday, Feb. 8, our girls
downed Gannon on our own court
the score being 6141.
In the Mercyhurst game. the
Behrend girls unchar
acteristically got called for two
technical offenses. To top it off,
starter Darlene Howell fouled out
with 11 minutes on the
clock. Despite that, Howell
managed to be the high scorer
with a total of 16 points. Jill
Heenan followed close behind
with a total of 14.
Apparently, the Mercyhurst
game just seemed to warm the
girls up for the Gannon game. The
team's shining star was Jill
Heenan, whose high score in this
game was - 24: ten more than she
accumulated during the previous
bout. Two other girls were doing
very well too. Darlene Howell
made 11 points and Pam Grimm
was right on Howell's heels with a

the rebounders job. Credit is due
to Pam Grimm and Jane

Congratulations to the whole

Back on winning trail
The Behrend basketball team
has fallen upon hard times
recently, suffering through a five
game losing streak, but Saturday
night they were a picture of
prosperity as they overwhelmed
Houghton College, 84-57.
The win followed one of the
Cubs' most frustrating losses of
the year, a 75-73 setback to
Alliance, an early-season -victim
of the Cubs.
Against. Houghton, the Cubs
established command from the
outset and kept it through the
first twenty minutes, running up a
15 point lead midway through
opening half.
Houghton put together a rally
and pulled within eight, but
Behrend responded with nine
straight points and went into the
locker room with a 43-23 edge.
Behrend continued to build ,
their lead, increasing it to 24, but
within a four minute period, saw
it cut in half on the strength of
some hot shooting by Houghton's
Roy Bielewicz and Mike Pitts.
The Cubs had a few standouts
of their own in Larry McAleer,
who whistled in 18 points and Jon
Kennedy, ending the game with 13
points and 17 rebounds. They
paced their team in the latter
part of the second half when they
put on a final burst to insure the
win. The two were aided by Pat
Gahr with 12 points, Eddie Evans,
11, and Mark Chesko 10.

Neither team shot well from
the field. Behrend finished with a
34 per cent chart while Houghton
converted on 31 per cent of their
attempts.
No reluctance was shown from
the shooters as both teams sent a
flurry of shots at the hoop. The
Cubs cut loose with 104 tries and
Houghton got off a comparatively
modest total of 83. •
At Alliance, it was a different
story. The Cubs played catch-up
basketball for nearly the entire
game, staying close but never
managing to get in front. This
pattern continued right to the

next Behrend foe
By John Roach
The Behrend Cub Grapplers
will entertain Edinboro State
College which may prove to be
the greatest mat match in the
history of the school. The
Fighting Scots invade Erie hall at
2 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.
They bring with them some real
tough wrestlers such as Jeff
Walters (118), high school state
champ last year and Ray Watkins
(177), last year's District 18 king.
Edinboro has a lot of other good
wrestlers which is proved by
their number 17 position in the
NAM standings.
However, the fighting Cubs are
loaded with just as much talent as
Edinboro. They have seven
wrestlers with winning records
led by undefeated Brian Volliant
(177) who will probably be
matched up against Watkins of
Edinboro. Also looking good for
the Cubs is standout Ashley Swift
and Jim Tracy. who has won his
last eight matches in a row, in
cluding a pin with just ten seconds
left in the final period of his last

final minutes. Down by two in the
last 1:30, Behrend had several
opportunities to cash in on a score
but lost them via the turnover
route and Alliance escaped with a
shaky win.
Chesko sparked the Cub of
fensive attack as he led his team
with 18 points. Evans and Jim
Davis followed with 11 each and
McAleer had eight. Kennedy's
scoring touch was missed in the
game as he was held scoreless.
Behrend now stands 8-11 on the
season as of last night's game
with Walsh and look to Saturday's
opponent, Eisenhower.
match
The light weight division should
probably be the most exciting
part of the contest with such
match-ups as: at (118) Jeff
Walters (E) against Dan Darr
(B), both wrestlers looked very
sharp at Ashland; at (126) we find
an old high school rivalry with
Dan Sweet (E) and Scott Swift
(B) and at (134) we should see a
good bout between two very
scrappy wrestlers, Steve Morris
(E) and Kevin Yendell (B). In the
Middle weights and heavyweight,
the Cub pin artists are seen to
have a slight edge.
Except for the loss of Brad
Sickler, with a dislocated elbow,
the Cubs look in fine physical
shape. Coach Onorato said that
"we are healthy and looking
sharp. The boys have been up for
this match all season, and they
deserve this shot at some good
nationally ranked competition.
These kids deserve all the credit
for this winning season, 8-5-1, and
now they have a shot at putting
the icing on the cake."
