Lyn McGee, who held down
the third base job last year,
also returns along with
outfielder Diane Klimas.
Barb Snell, a regular last
season at shortstop, attended
late winter practice but may
forgo participation this
spring.
Stravinsky is a big hitter,
and along with Shuster and
McGee, two of the squad's
better batters last year, will
provide the principal of
fensive punch this year.
The women play an eight
game slate, including four
contests at home. The soft

against Wilson College at
Chambersburg, Pa., before
returning home for three

games are played on the field
in front of the HUB.
Ithaca, Brockport and West
Chester figure to be the
toughest opponents as all
three beat Penn State handily
last year.
The squad held several
weeks of official practice at
the end of last term, and have
been holding makeshift
workouts this past week.
Tryouts will be held this week
to trim the team down to the
25 player limit.

'Strange' lacrossers rebuilding
Women's lacrosse, a
strange game. There are no
protective paddings worn by
the players, no timeouts, no
substitutes. And, other than
those imposed by nature or
the fencing contractors, there
are no boundaries.
As no contact is permitted,
the goalie is the only player
who needs any padding, of
course. And substitutions and
timeouts are permitted, but
only for injuries. As for the
boundaries, well, if there's
nothing in the way, the girls
can run for ever.
Penn State's team will be
running through an eight
match season this spring, the
ultimate goal for the players
being selection to the U.S.
Women's Lacrosse
Association sectional team.
Coach Ellen Perry has a
number of returnees, in
cluding three of the four who
qualified for the sectional
team last year Peg Barto,
Gwen Kran2ley and Helen
Chang. The fourth, Barb
Doran, is in Italy this term.
After a 4-4 season last year,
Perry is hopeful of im
provement but the loss of
several key personnel tend to
1973 women's outlook
dampen things somewhat.
Very little is set right now
and Perry is looking to four or
five freshmen for some help
this year. Their per
formances, together with
those of the other inex
perienced squad members,
could well key the whole
season.
"We should do well, judging
by the first look," Perry said,
"but heaven only knows what
they'll do in competition."
Five are virtually assured
of positions right now:
Kranzley, who will play at the
"home" position; Barto and
Julie ' Soriero, who will go
either at wing attack or wing
defense positions; and Chang
and Faye High, each of whom
probably will play line
defense positions.
The other 12 positions, then,
still are open but Perry does
name several who might have
inside tracks right now :
Robin Frysinger, Nikki
Rainey, Pam Hall, Robin
Beyerle, Anne Findley, Terri

Clopper, Lynn Watkins and
Chris Kassab.
What all of them, and the
others, will be aiming for is
that berth on the USWLA
sectional team, which they
must gain in competition with
all qualified women athletes,
not just collegians. The late
May-early June competition
will come after selections are
made for the Southern
Association (Baltimore area)
team for which the Penn State
women must qualify.
In the meantime, of course,
there is a full regular season
schedule which is preceded
by a scrimmage with Slippery
Rock this Saturday.
Maryland, Frostburg (Md.)
State, Lock Haven and Ithaca
should be the toughest on the
schedule, Perry said.
"The others SHOULD be
easy enough for us," she
laughed, "but you never
know. I think, though, that the
gals we have this year should
make things tough for some
people."
The schedule:
April 14, at Maryland; April
21, at Hartwick; April 24,
Ithaca; April 26, at Frostburg
(Md.) State College; May 2,
at Millersville; May 5, Cor
nell; May 8, at Wilson (Pa.)
College; May 12, Lock Haven.
