B.C. hooters win opener 51
BEHREVD OVER DUBOIS
Behrend Campus opened its 1967 soc
cer season with an impressive (5-2) vic
tory over the Dußois Campus. The team
effort displayed by the Cubs enabled them
to take an early lead, which they held
throughout the game.
Freshman Dom Bencivenga, playing in
his first game, scored the first two goals;
the first on an assist from Dick Stewart,
and assisted by Tam Moshe on his second
goal. Rick Blose, a second year man /
also scored two goals; one unassisted
and the other on a free direct kick by
Ed Messmer. Rudy McCray, also a freshman,
scored a goal when the ball deflected off
the Dußois goalie.
After the game, Coach Onorato praised
the offense and gave special credit to the
Cubs' defense. He was exceptionally
happy with the showing by the freshman
players, and the team effort displayed
the sophomores.
After the impressive victory over
Dußois, the spirited Cubs are getting
ready to take on the powerful Buffalo
State team, this Saturday. The fresh
men from N.Y. should prove to be the
most powerful team the Cubs meet in
their seven game schedule, so the game
should shape up to be the biggest crowd
pleaser of the season.
Coach Onoroto is planning to make
a few adjustments in the defense to cope
with Buffalo States powerful offence.
He also has a few other tricks up his
sleeve to suprise the New Yorkers.
Altogether the game promises to
be one of the biggest highlites of the
Homecoming Weekend. So be a Behrend
Booster, and support your team:::
Tuesday following the Homecoming
game with Buffalo State, Behrend Campus
takes on Bradford-Pitt at home. This
is the first time that BC has played
Bradford. It should prove to be an in
teresting game, however, and one that
should not be missed.
Game time for Saturday's encounter
is 2:00 p.m. and for Tuesday's game
3:30.

A=TE OF riE WEEK
by Al Dorohester
This weeks selection for the "Athlete
of the Week" was very difficult. The only
criteria for picking the "Athlete" was
the victioious soccer game against Dußois.
The whole team performed superbly to end
with a 5-2 score and any member of the team
could have been chosen for this honor.
After careful consideration we chose
Dominic Bencivenga to be "Athlete of the
Week".
Dominic is the first freshman ever to
recieve this title. He is a 1967 graduate
of Tech Memorial.
The 5 1 9" centerforward spearheaded
our offense and gave us an early lead.
In the first quarter he put in the first
goal of the game and season. This bolstered
the Cubs moral to such a height as to keep
the Dußois team scoreless in the first half.
In the third quarter Dom again put in
a goal, making the score 2-0. He made
these 2 goals on assists from his 2 able
wings, Rich Stewart and Tom Lohse.
We now hope that Dom will keep up his
fine work this year and return next year
to do the same.
