Cagewomen fall
, By DARLENE HROBAK
/ Collegian Sports Writer
The'traveling Lady Lion cagers saw
history repeat itself Saturday as the Pitt
Pantherettes dealt them a 69-68 hand;
defeat was again in the cards.
Not so long ago, December 5 to be
exact, the Lady Lions had fallen to this
same Pitt , team in the Pitt Invitational
Tournament, 71-66.
And it was only Tuesday night when
they dropped the first of their one-point
decisions, 74-73,, to East Stroudsburg.
But fate wasn’t kind, and the Penn
Staters again came out on the short end,
only this time the Pantherettes were the
conquerors.
( The score was tied with 33 seconds
remaining when Pitt’s Mimi Senkowski,
12 points in the contest, went to the foul
line in a one-and-one situation. She sunk
the first shot and Pitt was ahead by one,
67-66.
The second toss missed its mark, and
Penn State came.out from under the
basket with the rebound. They didn’t
hold on to the basketball tight enough,
and a turnover led to another Pitt score.
Kelly Cornish responded by sinking a
frantic basket at the opposite end of the
court, and Penn State was again within
one. But only two seconds remained on
the clock, and no miracle transpired to

“Turnovers were probably the key to
the game,” said Lady Lion coach Pat
Meiser. “You just can’t do that.”
By "that” s'h'e meant Penn State’s 24
give-aways. Pitt committed only five.
The Lady Lions found difficulty in
handling the 1-2-1-1 full-court zone press
Pitt utilized in the first period. Wanda
Randolph, Pitt’s 6-3 center, was on top,
guarding the inbound pass, and the Lady
Lions turned the ball over in nine of the
ten situations Pitt used the press.
Coach Meiser was also disappointed in
the officiating, specifically the calls of
walking the ball against Kelly Cornish
and the fouls Penn State committed'on
Wanda Randolph, Pitt’s 6-3 center.
Randolph (12 points and 12 rebounds)
was the recipient of six free throws.
Meiser beleived that many of those were
unnecessary shots, with the contact that
initiated the foul calls not being sub
stantial enough to warrant a
misdemeanor.
Jen Bednarek led all scorers with 18
points. Teammates Betty McGuire (15
points), Kelly Cornish (10 points) and
Mag Strittmatter (12 points and 19
rebounds) joined her in double figures.
Kathy Taczkowski paced the Pan
therettes offensive attack with 14 points.

Guard Mimi Senkowski added 12, and 5-
11 forward Kim Raymond (who is back
on the court after a recent knee injury)
chipped in 11 tallies.
The loss dropped the Lady Lion's
record to 9-5. They have lost three of
their last four contests.
Jen Bednarek pointed out the inex
perience of the young Penn State team.
“Saturday night we were playing four
freshmen at one point,” Bednarek said.
"I just think we have to play together
more, and we’re gonna win. ” ,
Coach Pat Meiser shared her sen
timents and had some thoughts of her
own. “I would like to see us get it going,”
she said. “Wednesday’s game against
Edinboro is a must.”
The Lady Lions will meet Edinboro at
5:45 p.m. Wednesday on the floor of Rec
Hall preceding the men in a women-men
doubleheader.
The contests with Pitt and East
Stroudsburg are past history, and the
one-point losses can’t be changed. Jen
Bednarek, though, was one who wished
she had the games to do over again.
“We should have won,” Jen sighed.
“We definitely should have killed East
Stroudsburg.
“And," she added, “we should beat
Edinboro.”
