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.
The Lady Cubs kick off their
season by hosting a tournament at
Erie Hall on December 2 and 3.
Baldwin Wallace, Buffalo State
and Carnegie Mellon are the
teams invited to participate. Ten
home games are scheduled after
the tournament, while the Cubs
take to the road 12 times.

Cubs Take Third In NAIA
BY Mary Hickin
Behrend's Lady Spikers' hopes of traveling. to South
Carolina for the national championships were dashed last
Saturday when they failed to qualify for regional playoffs.
Although they lost in the first round of the playoffs, the team
still gained a third place in the.district by beating Waynesburg
in the consolation match.
The Cubs also placed three players on the all-star teams for
NAIA District 18. Kathy Ott earned a place on the first team
all-stars, while Lisa Woolstrum and Kim Wilson earned se
cond team laurels.
The team was offered an invitation to the district playoffs
because of their record during the regular season. They posted
20 wins against 12 losses through last Thursday, when they
beat Villa Maria College_ They lost to Villa in the first round
of Saturday's playoffs, ending their bid for the top spot in the
district. Geneva, the winner of the District 18 crown, will host
the regional match, with the winner making the trip to South
Carolina for the national title.
The spikers closed their season, Thursday, November 9,
against a strong Grove City team.
