Behrend hooters defeat Indiana, tie John Carroll
by Jim Parachini
Collegian Sports Editor
Give up a goal or two and then
play like gangbusters. That seems
to be the tempo the Behrend
booters are playing to after their
first three contests.
After a tough, 1-0 opening
game loss to the University of
Buffalo, the Cubs bounced back
to post a 1-0-1 record on a two
game homestand.
Initially was a 3-2 home
opening victory over Division II
opponent Indiana University (PA)
on Sept. 11. What followed was a
2-2 tie against John Carroll
University, a Division 111 school
from Cleveland, Ohio, on Sept.
14.
In the triumph over Indiana
Behrend fell behind, 1-0 only five
minutes into the contest. The
Cubs then led 2-1 at the half
before winning a close match due
to a fine second half performance.
John Carroll had a 2-0 lead
after only nine minutes had elaps
ed against the Cubs in their se
cond home match. The Blue
Streaks were dominating play and
things did not look good for a se
cond consecutive Behrend win.
Just four minutes later,
however, the Cubs quickly struck
back with a goal and followed
with a late first half score, via a
penalty kick. Neither team could
mount much of an attack from
the second half through the two
overtime periods.
“This team has a lot of poten
tial and will just have to learn to
handle the pressure,” said head
coach Herb Lauffer. “If we keep
the play as simple as possible I
think we’ll do just fine.”
Blind softball team to visit Behrend
Could you play softball
blindfolded?
“Blind at Bats” is a squad of
blind participants who play a ver
sion of baseball called “beep
ball”. A special ball is used which
is twice the size of a softball and
contains a built-in beeper.
The team from Washington, Pa
is managed and organized by
Brian Weber, who will bring his
team to Behrend, Saturday. The
game starts at 12:30 p.m. on the
soccer field with the blind team to
face a blindfold team comprised
of one person from each floor of
the dorms.
. The rules state that the pitcher
must call out “pitch” and then
pitch the ball to the batter. If he
hits it, he runs to first or third
base (the opposite way the ball is
hit), the buzzer on,the base is ac
tivated and the batter runs toward
the buzzing base. The fielder;--

Against Indiana, a team
Behrend had not beaten in four
years, the Cubs rose to the occa
sion after the tough opening-game
defeat and the loss of Todd
Lindenmuth’s services after the
sophomore back injured an ankle
midway through the first half.
It was Lindenmuth, in fact,
who tied the score for the Cubs at
1-1 with a diving header off a cor
ner kick by forward Scott
Coykendall.
‘‘Todd’s one of our
mainstays,” said Lauffer. “I
count on him playing 90 minutes
when he’s healthy.” Lindenmuth
sat out the John Carroll contest.
Todd Hammond chipped a shot
over Cubs goalkeeper Larry
Guenther to give Indiana an early
1-0 lead before Lindenmuth’s
goal. Sophomore Chris Stine later
gave Behrend a 2-1 lead with a
header off a throw-in by
sophomore back Jeff Zastawniak.
Indiana answered back nine
minutes into the second half on a
header by Rich Betts before
freshman Marty Becker put
whose name is called out by the
spotter, must find the ball before
the batter reaches base. If the bat
ter reaches the base before the
fielder finds the ball one run is
scored. If the fielder finds the ball
before the batter reaches base, the
batter is out. The batter get six
strikes and there are three outs.
There is also a twelve-run rule.
The “Blind at Bats” softball
team is a non-profit organization,
however in order to raise money
for the repair of the homing-balls
and to generate money for tour
naments, they will be selling T
shirts and holding a 50-50 raffle.
Tickets for the raffle are $l.
The Joint Residence Concil and
the Resident Assistant Staff is set
ting up the program. Spectators
are welcome but should remain
quiet so that the players can listen
for the base-and-ball.
Behrend ahead for good, 3-2 with
a goal inside the penalty area just
50 seconds later.
“It was important to start off
on the right foot with a win in our
first conference game,” Lauffer
added. “Indiana has been one of
the top Division II teams in this
region for many years.” The win
gave Behrend a 1-0 record in the
Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Soc
cer Conference.
The contest against John Car
roll started disastrously for the
Cubs. After a sliding kick save by
Guenther (who started in goal)
during the third minute of play,
the Indians kept the pressure on
and scored two quick goals.
Dominic Vitale first put John
Carroll on the board with a goal
inside the penalty area before
teammate Leu Hatuber headed in
the Indians second goal.
Three minutes later Lauffer in
serted sophomore goalie Dave
Kun, who replaced Guenther,
with John Carroll (at about the
same time) falling into a false

Just four minutes after the In
dians went up by two goals Becker
hustled to a ball that was rolling
out. of bounds and, sliding on he
grass, gave teammate Joe Kushon
a pass down the left side of the
field.
Kushon, a sophomore forward,
dribbled towards goal and lifted a
shot past the John Carroll keeper
to pull Behrend to within one.
The Cubs continued to apply
pressure and with only six minutes
remaining in the first half tied the
score.
Kushon, again on the attack
with the ball, was tripped inside
the penalty area by an Indian
defender. Behrend was awarded a
penalty kick and Mike
Hockenberger converted for the
final goal of the game.
Kun played the final 53 minutes
(including both 10-minute over
time sessions) in goal for the Cubs
and held John Carroll in check
with four saves.
