CUB Sportswriter
The Mercyhurst College Girls
basketball team, given a full
page write-up in the Erie Press,
fell to hard times last week at the
hands of Behrend 41-33.
Julie Soriero once again led the
girls with 17 markers. She
received support from the team’s
top rebounder Janice Koester (8
points). Lucy Sweetly (7 points),
Jean Bovard (5 points), and
DianeEossman (4points).
Mercyhurst’s Marlene Smith,
averaging over 20 points a game,
was held to just 10 points, by Mrs.
Laudensack’s “special” defense.
This reporter confronted Mrs.
Laudensack about the upcoming
games. “We have two big home
games coming up, and I hope the
students will support us. On
February 26, we have a rematch
against the fired-up Gannon girls,
and on March 1 we play Mer
cyhurst again. Both games
should be exciting. ’ ’
Behrend, undefeated in league
action, tangles with Villa College
on Villa’s home court on Thur

week to solidify their hold on the
top spot.
The Lion wrestlers take an 8-0
record into Saturday’s dual meet
at Navy. Coach Bill Roll’s team
pasted Syracuse, 35-5, last week
in a tune-up for the meet the Lion
coach calls “the biggest dual
meet in the East this year.”

with a 17-1 record. The Rams
offer an exciting game of fast
breaks and a devastating
press to offset their lack of
size. The starting line-up
averages 6’2”. Fordham
already has the Kodal Classic
championship under their
belts and now look forward to
the National Invitational
Tournament (NIT) with
gleam in their eyes... Doug
Zimmerman, former
Behrend athlete, continues to
hammer away at Slippery
Rock opponents. Doug hit 40
points last week against
Geneva College and the next
game out he pumped in 26
points while hauling down 17
rebounds... There is talk ,in
New York of the baseball
Yankees and football Giants
sharing Shea Stadium with
the Mets and Jets. Yankee
Stadium is deteriorating by
the day and city officials
would love to see four
professional teams in a single
ball park on which the city
collects rent. A new stadium
is financially out of the
question and past history has
shown that more than one
professional team in the same .
stadium is a big mistake.
There has been talk of
moving the team, but I can’t
foresee the Yankees ever
leaving New York. Somebody
has a big problem!
