ISC to kick it up at Jeffrey Field
Women's soccer a growing sport
By CHRIS MORKIDES
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
Most of you guys who are finding it
difficult to obtain dates with members of
the opposite sex are probably wondering
how girls are getting their kicks these
days.
Well, if you want to find out, go to
Jeffrey Field tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. and
watch the Penn State Women's Club
Soccer team do battle with the Super
"F" team of New York in a preliminary,
struggle before the Penn State-Navy
soccer game.
Friday's match will be the
culmination of a lot of work that has
gone into getting women's club soccer at
Penn State off the ground.
The women's team is part of the
International Soccer Club (ISC) which
was founded by Penn State grad
students in 1970. At first, ISC was all
male but in the winter of 1976 the con

stitution was rewritten in order to allow
women to join. After the revision 30
women were admitted to the club. '
After extensive drills and practices,
the girls entered a State College soccer
league this past spring. The team was
something of an oddity in that it was the
only female team in the league.
"At first, the men on the other teams
didn't treat us as rough," ISC President
Wendy Coyle said, "but after they found
out that we weren't feeble they treated
us the same.
"It was frustrating at the beginning
playing against men's teams who had
been playing together for years," Coyle
continued, "but at the end we really
started to play well together as a team."
Although the women's team didn't win
a game during the league's regular
season, they recorded their initial vic
tory in the playoffs before losing in the
finals.
home opener against Phoenix.
The fracture was discovered yesterday when
precautionary X-rays were taken when the team
arrived in Indianapolis.
"I retaliated for a cheap shot and sneak attack," said
Abdul-Jabbar. "I got an elbow in my stomach."
Abdul-Jabbar said he was sorry about the broken
hand but said he would do the same thing again in a
similar situation.

During the summer the girls played
co-ed soccer and are now playing a full
slate of games against other women's
soccer teams. So far this season the
women's team is 3-0 with two victories
over Greer High School in Tyrone and a
10-0 shellacking over Franklin and
Marshall's varsity team.
But it's Friday's game which is the
most important for the team. It 'is the
first time they will play a preliminary
before the men's soccer game. In the
Super "F" squad they will meet an
experienced team of college and
working women.
"We're really excited about this
match," Coyle said. "A lot of people
have put a lot of effort in to make this
go."
Coyle has put in a lot of time and
knows the ups and downs of women's
club soccer at Penn State.
"When I first started playing in the
summer of '76 I was the only girl and I
became very frustrated," she said. "I
ran into a lot of attitudes like 'women
shouldn't play soccer because it destroys
their identity.' "

Coyle believes that women's soccer
has gained credibility since that time.
"Soccer is a very new thing for girls,"
Coyle said. "Now that ISC has taken the
initiative to form a women's team more
and more girls will come out. In time,
women's soccer will achieve varsity
status."
Coached by ex-Perm State soccer
player Audie Penecale, the women's
soccer team boasts 40 members. Of the
40, Coyle said most have had pervious
experience playing soccer in high school
or in college intramurals.
The girls practice on Monday and
Wednesdays from 5 p.m. until dark.
Weekends are reserved for official
matches and co-ed games.
Coyle credits Penn State soccer coach
Walt Bahr, Penecale and men's club
team member Keith Burgess, among
others, as being instrumental in helping
the women's team along.
"I'm definitely happy with the way the
girls have progressed," Burgess said.
"Some of them really have a good head
for the game."
