opening, tri-match slated to begin

Adjectives such as impressive,
magnificant or grand go out the
window in an attempt to describe
the women’s tennis teams’ home
opening match. In this case such
accolades still serve as an
underestimation of what was
achieved.
Simply put the Lady Cubs were
down right perfect against Thiel
College on Sept. 17.
Rain washed away Behrend’s
first scheduled home-match
against Mercyhurst, Sept. 10. The
Lady Cubs following match was
also postponed due to rain, Sept.
12, which was a visiting contest
vs. Gannon University.
Before the crushing of Thiel
came Behrend’s first win of the
year which was a close 5-4 deci
sion over SUNY-Fredonia on
Sept. 14.
May Beth Grimes returns a shot for Behrend.

Following on Sept. 14 Behrend
defeated LeMoyne College, 15-11,
“We’re constantly improving
as the matches go on,” said
fourth-year head coach Pam
Fischer. “This is the best team
I’ve had here so far - best attitude,
skill and a group of girls.”
Against Thiel the Lady Cubs
did not even lose a single set.
Freshman Mary Beth Grimes,
Behrend’s sixth singles player,
had the easiest time setting down
Thiel’s Jackie Labesky, 6-2, 6-0.
First and second singles players
Sharon Dollard and Kelle Cour

“We played really well on the
first day of the tournament and if
we can play like that all year long
we will do real well,” said Wilson.
“Most of the teams in the tourney
had taller players than us but we
just played them tough.”
Senior Kim Keller had nine aces
for the Lady Cubs in their first
three games. Teammate Lori Mc-
Clellan, a freshman, served seven

Courson improved their record to
3-0 with a win over Kirker and
Goodwin, 6-1, 6-3. Lumley and
Mitchem (2nd doubles) and Ann
Weist and Phillips (3rd doubles)
also teamed up to notch wins.
“I’m really impressed with our
first and second doubles team so
far,” said Fischer. “They play
very solid, attacking the ball at the
net.”

weeks ago I predicted Penn State
to defeat Temple by a 21-7 score.
The Nittany Lions won, 27-25.
Not bad for an opening
prediction.
This week I see Penn State edg
ing Rutgers, as they did last year,
by a 24-21 count this time.
Also look for the Pittsburgh
Steelers to rebound on Monday
