by Jim Parachini
Collegian Sports Editor
Just as you can count on the
leaves turning brown in the fall,
you can also count on Penn State-
Behrend’s women’s volleyball
team having a successful
campaign.
The varsity program, now eight
years old, has been a perennial
power with six seasons of 20-or
more wins under its belt already.
This year’s Lady Cubs have
perhaps the toughest act to follow
considering the achievements of
last year’s squad. Behrend not on
ly finished with an impressive
23-12 mark but also captured the
District 18 NAIA championship
with a win over Waynesburg
College.

111 school it will be harder to
make the playoffs but the com
petition should be on an even keel
since none of these schools are
able to give out aid to any of their
players,” said head coach Jan
Wilson who has been heading the
varsity program since day one.
Many NAIA members have the
finances to give scholarships to
cerain athletes whereas the NCAA
states that such athletic awards
can not be granted on the Division
111 level.
Three of the 12 players on this
year’s team return from 1984’s ti
tle club. Those volleyballers in
clude juniors Julie DiFrancisco
and Renee Harrison and senior
Mary Toboz.
Two players who played
previously for Behrend but not
last year are senior Kim Keller and
sophomore Kim Wilson. Keller
played during her freshman and
sophomore years while Wilson
participated as a freshman in
1983.
The remainder of the team con

Stacy Scofield, Beth Stephens and
Beth Vahey, sophomore Michelle

hitters,” said Wilson. “We also
played very well as a team.
“This year we’re a little taller
and a lot tougher as far as serving
the ball. A lot depends on how the
freshmen jell and the fact that we
have many new players.”
Behrend has already begun its
regular season with an away
match against Villa Maria. Col
lege. Up next for the Lady Cubs is
the first of four tournaments
scheduled this fall.
Tomorrow and Saturday (times
were not announced at press time)
Behrend will compete in the Cor
tland Tournament at SUNY-
Cortland (State University of New
York at Cortland). This is an
eight-team tourney with Cortland
fielding two clubs of its own.
Also participating are
Binghamton, Nazareth,
Marywood and LeMoyne colleges
and Alfred University. “The tour
naments are good because they
allow us to get a lot of matches in
because the season is not that
long.” Wilson commented.
Behrend’s first home match of
the season will involve contests
against rival Mercyhurst College
and Westminster. The action
takes place two weeks from today
on Sept. 26 with the first game set
for 6 p.m.
