The Penn State Harrisburg soccer
season is underway and off to a
disappointing 0-2 start.
The first loss came at the feet of
visiting Beaver College. After a shaky
start, in which the Lions gave up 3 early
goals, the Lions calmed down and
dominated the second half with
aggressive play.
"The team came together and began
to push the bal up field in the second
hair said Coach Mark Ashley.
Next on the schedule came a visit to
Lancaster Bible College. The Lions were
hungry for a win and wanted to redeem
themselves for the last loss.
Lancaster Bible came away with a 3-0
win and dropped our record to 0-2.
The Lions are now preparing
themselves for their upcoming home
tournament on the weekend of Oct. 7 and

NFL UPDATE
John Garvey
Capital Times Staff
The 1989-90 NFL season has just finished
its fourth week and has been entertaining
if nothing else.
The Eastern division has been especially
amusing thus far. Between the presence
of well known football junkies like
Elizabeth Taylor at the Dallas-Washington
game last week, and watching the Eagles
big-play defense make junior high school
quarterbacks yearn to throw for 400 yards
against Buddy's Boys.
The Giants so far are the only team that
haven't self destructed and are undefeated
thus far with a two game lead in the
division.
The Chicago Bears with a rejuvinated
defence seem like the team they were a few
years ago even without Jim MacMahon
pacing on the sidelines with an injury.
After a big win over Joe Montana and the
49ers in the final seconds the Rams are
still among the NFL undefeated, but are
still in a hottly contested race.
Buffalo strugled for the first few games
but rebounded and are looking almost like
the playoff contender they were supposed
to be, even without the services of former
Penn State linebacker Chris Conlin, who
is out with an injury.
In the Central division what more can be
said about the Pittsburgh Steelers. We
have seen the Steelers come boldly back
from where few teams have gone before in
its first two weeks, to being almost
considered respectable, or at least not
mentioned in the same breath as the
Cowboys.
But the Steelers still have almost no hope
in a division with Clevland, Cincinaati
and Houston. These three teams seem to
be tossing a coin between each other for
who will jump on top in the division.
The Western Division with it's lack of
talent is no threat to anyone therefore, I'm
not even going to deal with them.
The only thing I can say about this season
is when it's over no one will have guessed
the outcome.

. The womens volleyball season i
underway and the PSH Lady Lions have
compiled a 1-2 record.
The first match of the season pitted
the Lady Lions against the visiting
Beaver College Scarlet Knights. The
Knights won the best of three match in
two straight games. Scores were 15-12
in the first game and 15-11 in the
second.
Afterwards Coach David Hume said
"The team showed some good hustle in
spots and the girls kept the games all
close."
The team then went on the road and
beat a strong Neuman College team in a
best of five series. PSH won games one,
two and four while Neuman took game
two.
After upping their record to 1-1, the
Lady Lions came home to face visiting
Cedar Crest College. Cedar Crest swept
the Lady Lions in three straight games
and dropped the Lady Lions to 1-2.
The Lady Lions next home game will
be on Oct. 23 at 6p.m. against Neuman
College. This will also be the ladies last
game of the season and they could use
some fan support. Take a study break
and come out.
