Collegian Page 10 Youth hurts by David Bruce Collegian Sports Editor The Lady Lions current losing streak has Coach Karin Sabotta baffled. "I don't know what's the matter...we are young and maybe we haven't grown together yet, it just takes time. They have physical ability, but we have to get mentally together," said Sabotta. Due to the high student turnover rate at Behrend, a lack of maturity is common among the school's sports teams, and this year's bas ketball team is no exception. Seven of the 10 players are either fresh men or sophomores as are four of the five starters. This lack of experience has af fected a key team element: leader ship. "Some of our older players are very hard on themselves, they overreach at times, it is not a lack of effort, perhaps they overanalyze the situation," said Sabotta. "We VOLLEYBALL-A-THON by David Bruce Collegian Sports Editor The women's volleyball team is looking for a few good men and women to participate in their an nual volleyball-a-thon. This year's event takes place on Feb.lB from 9pm to tarn and it will help raise money for new warm-ups and shoes for the players. The team has been searching for squads to play against, so far several Behrend organizations have expressed interest,including one of the fraternities. This year, the team will raise additional money by charging these squads an entrance fee-S1 per player. However, if one of these squads wins their match, $5 of the fee will be refunded. "Last year we raised $600...1'd like to get $BOO this year," said Coach Jan Wilson,"the girl who signs the most pledges will win either two free ski passes or dinner for two at the Waterfall Restaurant. The volleyball-a-thou serves as a warm-up for the men's season and the women's spring season. The men play their first match Feb. 6, while the women begin next month.

This was evident in the game against Geneva on Febuary 2. They were within three points with seven minutes left in the game, but their game fell apart and they lost by 22, 72-50. "We missed inside shots...it shows a lack of confidence and concentration," said Sabotta. In the game, Behrend committed an abnormally high 29 fouls, and shot only 26 percent from the field. Lisa Butch was the leading scorer with 13 points and Erica Scribner added 10. "Erica is coming on really well, she did not play much early, but now she is second or third off the bench...she makes things happen," said Sabotta. In other recent games, the Lady Lions lost to number-one ranked St. John Ficher, 94-104 and to Edin- Collegian Athletes Lady Lions boro 85-64. In the St. John Fisher game, Lisa Dorenkamp scored 19 points and Connie Armstrong had six rerounds.

Behrend beat Elmira 67-51, Lisa Dorenkamp led the Lady Lions with 21 points. photo by Rick Brooks by Rick Cain Assistant Collegian Sports Editor Congratulations to this week's Athletes of the Week, Gene Gor niak and Lisa Butch. Gene Gomiak, the Lion's six foot seven inch forward, played impressively under the basket this past week. After his amazing 22- point, 23-rebound performance against Mercyhurst, Gene con tinued his dominance under the boards with a 22-point, 18-rebound display against Pitt-Bradford. Gene finished the week with an 11-point, 14-rebound, seven blocked shot game against Bethany. Not only did Gene's performance win him this prestigious award, but it also won him a spot on the ECAC division 111 Honor Roll. Lisa Butch, the Lady Lion's starting guard, did not just have a great week, but has played in credible basketball the entire season. Averaging 11.3-points, 3.7- rebounds, 1.9-assists, and 2-steals a game, she is described by coach Karin Sobotta as, "the best athlete on the team." Combining this con sistent play with a constant 100 percent effort makes Lisa Butch a true team leader. Both Gene and Lisa will recieve dinner for two at Barbato'shin recognition of their achievements. •; Beveigaiai • ITALIAN ; RESTAURANT " 3512 Buffalo Road, Wesleyville Phone: 899:3423 Make the Trade... Have your ideas heard. Stop complaining and take some action. Did the Cardinals make a mistake by not signing Jack Clark? Are the Stealers doomed without an N.F.L. caliber quarterback? The following student submissions are examples of how the process works. If you disagree with my replies, let me hear from you. Basketball " I would like to see the I Action: Philadelpl is 76'ers trade back for Moses Malone. He is the premier center in the N.B.A. and he still has a few good years left. Why don't the 76'ers trade Mark McCormick and Mark McNamara to the Washington Bullets for Moses Malone?" Moise Pingle, 4th TROUBLED? NEED TO TALK? WE CAN HELP... WE CARE ABOUT YOU!

He was traded, along with Roy Hinson, to the Nets. Even if we ignore this fact, the tmde would never take place. Washington does not need two more players over 6' 10". Terry Catledge and Manute 80l provide enough beef for the Bullets front line. Moses will finish his career in the nation's capital. Football Action: " The Steelers need a real quarterback. How about trading Walter Ambercrombie and this year's number two draft pick to Cincinatti for Boomer Esiason or to Tampa Bay for Steve Deberg?" Mike Hughes, Bth semester, Psychology. Reply: Mike this is a very popular idea, several other students submit ted similar propocalc. It is obvious that Pittsburgh needs a new quarterback. The Steelers should try to get -Deßerg; he could be had for this price. If the Steelers were to draft a quarterback this year, De- Berg could keep the competitive until the draft pick is ready to take over. Hockey Action: " The Boston Bruins need to shake up their organization. Terry. O'Reilly, their head coach should be fired and replaced."— Dave Seay, 2nd semester, Engineer- sports photos by Marybeth Zawistoski Reply: How can you fire a coach who is in second place with a record of 30 wins to 19 losses? The Bruins will make the playoffs this year. How far they get depends on O'Reilly. He was a winning player . and is now a winning coach. Shake up the organization, ut do not get rid of O'Reilly. Action: " The Penguins should trade this years' first round draft pick and a minor league player to the New York Rangers for goalie, Bob Froese." Tom Rovnak, 2nd semester, Engineering. Reply: The Penguins could defi nately use a goalie with the talents of Bob Froese, but I don't think that New York would bite. The Rangers have the best one-two goal tending pair in the league. Froese and John Vanbiesbrouck are quality players. I do not think that your of fer is good enough. Baseball Action: " The Twins should ship Gary Gaetti to Detroit for Jack Morris." -- John Quinones, 2nd semester, Business. Reply: The Twins could use another starter to accompany Frank Viola. They could also use a dominant right hander: Jack Morris would fullfill both needs. The Tigers need a third baseman. They could also use someone to make up for the 30 homeruns and 100 RBl's they lost with Kirk Gibson. This trade makes too much sense to take Dlace. ~a~a
