offensive prowess combined with
tight defense and 83 percentage
from the foul line, sealed the win,
61-54.

Man

Collegian Sports Editor
Moise Pringle, Bchrend's latest
addition to the basketball team, is a
true renaissance man. In high
school, he played basketball on an
all-conference championship team
and also performed on an all-state
orchestra. Also, he was so concer
ned with his studies that he did not
try out for the Behrend basketball
team until he "got his grades
straight."
The 6'3" 190-pounder played for
Christiana High School in Newark,
Delaware as a power forward and a
violinist. Moise averaged 14 points
and 12 rebounds per game his
senior year and made first team all
conference and third team all-state.
He also made third scat on the all
state orchestra his senior year.
After graduation, Moise received

three deadlock thanks to a furious
comeback by the Philadelphia
Flyers even though the Flyers were
without their leading scorer, Tim
Kerr, out with a shoulder injury.
This, and the fact that the Oilers
were playing so well, gave the
Flyers little hope.
Then rookie goaltender Ron
Hextall turned into a brick wall.
The game seven showdown ended
up being won by Wayne Greztky
and Co., but Hextall, after stopping
204 of the 229 shots he faced, won
the series MVP. The Edmonton
Oilers have clearly established
themselves as the dynasty of the
80's winning their third Stanley
Cup in four years.
The year in sports was certainly
a great one. Fans from every major
sport have something to remember.
Hopefully this year will bring as
much excitement and surprises as
there were in 1987.
slow start saw the team down 42-28
at the half, but they were not to be
denied. Forward Michele
Madison,with a career high of 30
points and 14 rebounds, led the
Lady Lions to an amazing 40 point
-30 rebound second half. Point
guard Lisa Dorenkamp-17 points,
and sophomore guard Denise Mc-
Closkey-10 rebounds, helped hold
the opposition to a mere nine points
in the last nine minutes to complete
the comeback victory, 68-62.
The following game saw the
team on the road again against
Grove City. Another slow start had
the Lady Lions down 26-13 at the
end of the first half. Again the of-

partial basketball scholarship offers
to Pitt-Bradford, Bucknell and
Washington-Jefferson. But the tui
tion costs were still too much, and
Moise wanted a Penn-State degree
anyway, so when Coach Zimmer
man expressed interest in Moise he
was happy to come to Behrend in
1986.
Moise concentrated solely on his
studies until this semester when he
went out for the basketball team.
Even though it has been two years
since he last played organized ball
and is still learning the system,
Moise has had an impact on the
Lions. In the game against Brock
port on Jan. 11, Moise came off the
bench to score three points and
gather five rebounds in only 2
minutes of play. Against Grove
City, he had two steals in a limited
role.

in the second half, with an impres

and were defeated 50-48.
The next opponent for the Lady
Lions was high scoring St. Vin

According to Moise, college ball
differs from high school ball in that
there are twice as many set plays
and more options on each play. Be
cause of the increased complexity,
there is increased dependence on
team leaders and Moise said that
upperclassmen Gary Zang, Gene
Gorniak and Greg Green have defi
nitely filled those roles.
He believes that this team has a
lot of talent, "Down the line we
should do pretty good...the fresh
man are playing really well. We are
strong fundamentally • and we
should be a very good team in the
future," said Moise.
As for the present, Moise is con
tent to be a role-player, filling in
wherever he is needed-whether it is
as a rebounder or an offensive
threat. He is adaptable, the mark of
a renaissance man.
Gary Zang
Butch-13 points, played excellently
along with many other contributing
players. Unfortunately, St. Vincent
was just too tough.
One of the team's latest games
took place at Hiram on Jan. 21. In
the first half of this game the Lady
Lions were caught flat. Shooting
poorly from the floor, the starting
five could not get into sync. Coach
Sobotta realized this quickly and
went to her bench. Senior Chris
Huff-7 points, freshman Erica
Scribner-5 points, and sophomore
Bobbie Bauer-3 steals and 2 assists,
all had solid games coming off the
pine, but all they could do was kcep
it close , 78-57.

Super Bowl Preview
by Bob Kelley
Collegian Staff Writer
San Diego's Jack Murphy Stadium will be the site for sports' ul
timate game, the Super Bowl, on Sunday, Jan. 31. The Denver Broncos
and Washington Redskins will square off for only their fifth meeting in
the history of the two teams, in Super Bowl XXII.
Denver advanced to the Super Bowl, for the second straight year and
for the third time in their history, by beating Cleveland 38-33 in a
thrilling AFC Championship game played in Denver's Mile High
Stadium.
Washington reached the so—called "ultimate game," for the third
time this decade and fourth time in their history, by outlasting the
surprising Minnesota Vikings 17-10 at Washington's R.F.K. Stadium.
The Redskins are the first team in four years to reach the Super Bowl
without home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.
The three previous NFC champs: San Francisco 49crs, 1984;
Chicago Bears, 'B5; and New York Giants, 'B6 have all claimed the
Super Bowl title.
Denver is coached by former Dallas coach Dan Reeves and
Washington has Joe Gibbs at the helm. Both have emerged among two
of the league's top coaches.
Starting at quarterback for Denver is John Elway, who has proven he
is one of the top quarterbacks in the league by being selected to play in
the Pro Bowl on Feb. 6. Elway is very mobile and eludes the pass rush
constantly. He reads defenses well and is considered to have the stron
gest arm in the entire N.F.L. Washington will not totally stop Elway but
must try to contain him.
Washington's Doug Williams will be the first black quarterback to
start in a Super Bowl. In 1979 he led the Tampa Bay Bucs to the
playoffs but lost, then was waived a few years later.
Williams was then picked up by the Redskins last year to back up
Jay Schroeder, who was benched at the end of this year for inconsis
tency. Williams has a very strong arm and can throw the ball deep to
sure—handed Gary Clark. They are a tandom Denver will have to
reckon with.
Both defenses are sound with Karl Mechlenberg and Rulon Jones
pulling the stops for the Broncos and Dexter Manley and Darrell Green
doing the same for the Redskins. Manley was one of the top quarter
back sackers in the N.F.L.
The last time Washington was champion was 1982, also a strike shor
tened season, when they beat Miami. The following year they lost to
the LA. Raiders in Super Bowl XVIII.
Denver was blown out in its two previous appearances, against the
Dallas Cowboys in 1977 and last year at the hands of the Giants.
The Broncos, after last year's whipping, will be much hungrier this
time around and with John Elway at the controls, there is no telling
how many points the offense will put on the scoreboard.
Washington's record will fall to 1-1 in strike—shortened—year
Super Bowls. It will be close, but it will be Denver by 4.
Some predictions from fellow Behrend students:
John Bennardi: "Denver by 3"
Bob Zandi: "Denver"
Sam Crowley: "Raiders in '88"
Sil Vccillio: "Lets go skiing"
