Experience could be key for men’s soccer team
by Jim Parachini
Collegian Sports Editor
For those of you on campus
who enjoy seeing well-played soc
cer, look no further than this
year’s Penn State-Behrend team.
Eleven hooters, including seven
starters, return from last year’s
6-11 squad. Needless to say there
are reasons of optimism for a suc
cessful 1985 campaign.
“We’ve got a lot of freshmen
and sophomores so we’re going to
have to be ready to play
everybody,” said head coach
Herb Lauffer. “We’re not taking
anything for granted. We're
young but have a lot of players
with a year’s experience under
their belt which will help us.”
Dominated by lowerclassmen,
the case most often, the Cubs
head into the new season with but
one senior. That is goalkeeper

stay with Behrend’s program all
four years, will start in goal.

NAIA (National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics) Such as
Behrend was up until this year.
The Cubs fared well in its two
scrimmages, winning one match
and tying the other. Behrend
defeated the Alumni team on
August 31, 3-1 before knotting
Judson College (Illinois), 1-1 on
Labor Day.
A small tradition in itself, the
Alumni game has been held on
this campus since, 1974. Warm
weather made it comfortable for
the many fans that came out to see
the match.
Two days later the Cubs got a
first-half goal from Mike Hocken

brger in the tie against Judson. In
fact, Hockenberger scored all
three goals against the Alumni
team as he accounted for all the
Cubs pre-season scoring.
“We have the ability to create
scoring opportunities and are very
confident we can score goals,”
said Lauffer. We just have to
work on seeing our other options
and correct mental mistakes.”
Lauffer describes his two
strikers, Joe Kushon and Scott
Coykendall, as both quick and
strong for their size. The two,
both sophomores, will play up
front as part of Lauffer’s 4-4-2
formation. Kushon is a returning
starter from last year’s squad
while Coykendall is a transfer stu

Hockenberger is one of the
team’s four midfielders. The
sophomore, from Rochester,
N.Y., plays the center-midfield
position and is a returning starter.
“We have many players who
can put the ball in the net,” Lauf
fer added. “Hopefully we won’t
have to rely on just one player
such as Mike to score for us. To
be successful you need the scoring
to be balanced.”
After the John Carroll match
the Cubs go on the road for two
games against Gannon, Wednes
day and Allegheny College on
Sept. 21. Behrend then returns
home on Sept. 25 to challenge
