NOVEMBER 11, 1983 Strong Finish Highlights 'B3 Soccer By Justin Panson The Behrend soccer team took a 4-6-1 record to a cold, rainy Slip pery Rock State College, only to be beaten 1-0 when Slippery Rock scored late in the game after a restart deep in the Cub end. The final portion of the schedule didn't get any easier as the Cubs lost another game at Walsh three days later. No score was posted in the first half, and after a mix-up in our, area, Walsh . drew fi rst blood with what Cub • keeper Larry Guenther termed, "an un fortunate goal." Jamie Kreber temporarily tied the score with his sixth goal of the season, but with five minutes remaining, Walsh capitalized on a scramble in front of the Cub net, and iced the game. It looked as if it could only get worse with Geneva, the best in NAIA Section 18 coming to Behrend, but it didn't; in fact, after those two heartbreakers, the picture brightened considerably. The Cubs played, as Coach Lauf fer put it, with commitment and intensity, as they came back from a 1-0 half-time deficit to score a major upset aver nationally rank ed Geneva. In the second half, the Women Hoopers Ready For 'B3 Season By Mary Hickin Women's basketball coach Ellen Johns has a very optimistic outlook for this season. Part of the reason for her optimism is seven young ladies who are on this year's squad. All seven are return ing letterwinners, four of which played on the 1981-82 edition of Behrend's women's basketball team that won the NAIA District 18 crown and went on to the area playoffs in Maine. Junior Diane Metzgar leads the team this year as captain of the 12 member squad. The 5'5" point guard from Villa Maria Academy in Erie, has led the team in assists, steals, and scoring, in addition to holding the individual game record for most points. Metzgar has also been named to the NAIA District 18 and Women's Keystone Conference' all-staff teams both seasons at Behrend. Another Erie product, junior Kathy Ott of Academy High School, returns after missing last season because of injuries. Ott, 5'9", has great jumping ability and provides Behrend with "addi tional depth and rebounding strength," according to Coach Johns. The remaining two players to return to the line-up from the 81-82 squad are juniors Ivimdy and Missy Stasenko. The twin tandem hail from Baldwin High School in Pittsburgh. Mindy, a 5'9" forward, is a "strong offen sive rebounder and accurate shooter." She was ranked eighth nationally last year in field goal percentage with a .586 average and also led the team in blocked shots defensively. She was named to the NAIA and WKC first team all-stars the past" two years. ' Missy,.a s'B" guard-forward, is Cubs adjusted to the tempo of the game, and realized that they.were capable of beating a frustrated Geneva squad. Jamie Kreber scored twice as Behrend counterattacked a defense left vulnerable because of an overstacked offense. Geneva tied the score with fifteen minutes left to play, but once again, Jamie Kreber came to the rescue, poking in a loose ball for the hat trick, and the eventual game winner. Fredonia, a team almost equal in talent with Geneva, was the final opponent, and Behrend didn't let up. They played a tight game, swapping goals thrice to produce a 2-2 tie. Tony Horvath got the first Behrend goal, follow ed by Joel Buckwalter's header in the second half. Looking back over the entire season, it becomes hard to for mulate any one attitude towards it. On the surface, the team's 5-8-2 may appear to be a mediocre performance, but there are many factors to consider, and it's really a matter of what the record is compared to. It was a year that "one -of the strongest offensive players moving with the ball." She owns a good outside shot and runs the fast break well. She has also been named to the NAIA teams both of her-previous years. The three remaining letterwin ners are sophomores Pam Ander son, Donna Morgan, and Barb Schofield. Anderson, a 5'11" center-forward, is a "strong re bounding player and a key to star ting the fast break, with the power to convert missed shots into points." Anderson is from Har borcreek High in- northwestern Pennsylvania. Morgan, a 5'6" . guard from Kiski Area High in Avonmore, "brings a strong team approach to the game." She also has a good outside shot and strong defensive abilities. Schofield, a 5'11" forward center from Shaler in Pittsburgh, was an honorable mention in the NAIA last year. She is a "strong rebounder who exhibits a good outside shot." There are five freshmen and sophomores making up the rest of the team. The sophomores include 5'S" Jackie Berry from Sacred Heart in Pittsburgh and Kim Keller, a 6'o" center from Ft. Leßoeuf in Waterford, Pa. Mary Beth Dolecki, a 5'5" guard from Oil City; Toni Lumley, a 5'S" guard from Jamestown, Pa.; and Kim Wilson, a s'B" forward from Ft. Leßoeuf, are the freshmen faction of the team. Coach Johns, the sixth-year mentor of the team, cites depth as the strong point of the team. She feels that "any of the 12 could be out there playing." She pointed to Metzgar and the Stasenkos' as "strong . playerg, quickly adding Anderson, Morgan and Schofield BEHREND COLLEGIAN started out miserably, but this relatively young team won two more games than last year's (3-8-2) team, and they only lost three of their last - ten games. In these last ten games, they outscored the opposition, 28-14. Coach Lauffer added that the team never gave up when they were down; they made definite progress, and finished strongly against two very good teams. Two individual efforts were recognized as being of an excellent caliber throughout the year. Cub junior midfielder Terry Manner ing (five goals, three assists), and sophomore midfielder Joel Buckwalter (six goals, one 'assist), have both been named to the all conference first team. Also worth mentioning is Jamie Kreber's team leading nine goals and five assists. With Behrend's switch from the NAIA to the NCAA, next season's playoffs will be even tougher to reach, but Coach Lauf fer thinks that the change represents a definite step forward. Potentially, there are a good number of players returning for the 1984 campaign, and recruiting efforts have already begun. - On behalf of the Collegian, I would like to thank everyone in volved in the Behrend College Soccer program for their dedica tion and the long hours involved in representing our school. .as tough cagers also.
