Lock Haven State College is center stage f&1 eight Susque
hanna Association field hockey teams this weekend to
show off their top performers as they seek to fill slots on two all
star teams that will go the Mid-east tournament in Pitts
burgh.
Gillian Rattray will lead her blue and white charges, who
finished their regular season with an impressive 5-2-2 record
feeling optimistic about the chances her players have in
making the Susquehanna I and Susquehanna II all star rosters.
"I feel we were stronger as a team than Lock Haven," she
commented as she referred to - their 3-3 stalemate in the mud on
Tuesday against the Eagles. "They have outstanding in
dividuals but we have more even distribution of strength,
therefore I am optimistic that we will place a lot of players."
The teams, a field including powerful Ursinus, West Chester,
and Lock Haven begin round robin play tomorrow morning
and outstanding all stars will have trails in front of selectors in
the afternoon.
There is one selector from each team and Penn State's Ridge
of talent will be Susan Monk, a graduate student who plays for
Center County's field hockey club.
Sunday afternoon the best players will be named by the
selectors to Susquehanna I and the stickwomen behind the 10
first team stars will make up Susquehanna 11. The clubs will
play at 2 p.m. Last year Penn State placed ten of its starting
eleven on the two all star clubs. •
The players will have seven 25 minute games to show their
stick skill and win a birth on the two squads. Gwenn Hannigan,
a senior who went to the national tournament on Mid-east HI
team last year, expressgd apprehension about the playing con
ditions.
"I am worried about the conditions of the field and the
games are really short," she said as she talked about the dirt
fields which become mud baths with rain. "I just hope no one
gets short-changed."
Freshmen Chris Larsen and Sharon Duffey in their first all
star competition spoke differently. Larsen, overwhelmed with

this type of thing before."
A psyched up Duffey added, "And we are out to beat Lock
Haven.'•
Defense lady Deb Gorman said she feels optimistic about
her individual chances and about her teammates. "I think
Penn State is going to do really well and we are going to sur
prise a lot of people. We are much better than last year."
Senior forward Peg Gerhart figures to have an excellent
chance to go to the national all star level of competition as she
sports 10 goals in nine regular season tilts' Gerhart, along with
Anne Chamberlain and Barb Doran ma* the Susquehanna I
team in last year's tournament at Pena State.
The pressure will be on each stick lady Saturdav and for
