Fieldwomen celebrate Homecoming in Connecticut

:-:The women's field hockey was in a
:atlemma.
:Why? This weekend it was going to
•batT to miss the Homecoming festivities
Obi order to travel to Cortland for a game
with the University of Connecticut
taturday and to Cortland Sunday.
ifiut freshman Candy Finn came up
with the perfect solution. If the Lady
.Lidi? . s couldn't be in Happy Valley for
:114necoming, then she would carry on
tradition of celebrations at Cortland.
,lAtid celebrate she did.
Finn tallied one goal and one assist in
. - - the game against Connecticut, a 2-2 tie,
and two goals against Cortland, leading
the Lady Lions to a 3-0 victory.
Those three scores give her a total of
at) goals so far this season, which puts
her in a tie with Jill Van Bodegom-Smith
as the second highest scorer on the team.
Senior Charlene Morett leads the team
with 16 goals.
"Candy Finn had a superb weekend,"
'Coach Jill Rattray said. "She is just so
.deceptive playing left-wing. The
goalkeeper thinks she's not going to
score because of the angle of the shot
from that position but the goaltender
doesn't know Candy."
But even with Finn's outstanding
efforts the team had to settle for a tie
with No. 6 Connecticut Saturday.
t "It was the toughest game we've had
'this season," Rattray said. "They're
very skilled and much better than either
Delaware or Ohio State (both teams that
tied the team this year)."
The Lady Lions scored first in this
game with a Finn goal after only five
Ipinlites and 10 seconds had elapsed.
But Connecticut came back with a
score at 20:50 by Mary Taylor to tie it up
at half-time, 1-1.
In the second half, Morett put the Lady
Lions ahead with her 49th career goal,
assisted by Finn and it looked like the
kipm would get a very big win,
Connecticut dispelled any such
thoughts, though, when Holly Payne

Harriers wind up at
the. front of the pack
By WILL PAKUTKA ,
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
' When the men's cross country team
runs a race against any other team, it's
like mixing oil and water. The Lions
always end up in a cluster and on top
while the other teams have to settle for
the bottom.
That's the way it turned out Saturday
in a dual meet with Georgetown. Penn
State took the first four positions before
a lone Georgetown runner was able to
sneak in between two Lions. The result
was a 16-44 whitewash of Georgetown.
Freshman sensation Alan Scharsu
took his turn at finishing first for the
Lions this week, nosing out teammate
Bob Snyder by four seconds.
Scharsu burned up the mostly flat
course at St. Mary's College, running the
five miles in a time of 24:29. It was his
first victory of the season after im
pressive showings in the Eastern
Championships (4th) and the Penn State
Open (3rd).
"He really went after it," teammate
John Ziegler (third in the race) said. "It
was a good course for him to run on."
Snyder's second placed time of 24:33
made him one of three state runners who
broke the 25 minute mark for the five
mile course. Ziegler was the third man
in the race and the last under 25 minutes.
"It was a fast course," Ziegler said.
"It was very flat but it was a good
course."
Ziegler added that it was a good thing
for State to get on a course such as that
because the prestigious NCAA meets
will be held on similar courses.
The fourth Lion in the bunch was
Bruce Baden. Baden's time of 25:02 gave
him an eight second cushion on Dave
Dobrnyski, Georgetown's first finisher.
Mike Wyatt finished sixth in the race
with a time of 25:19. Tom Rapp was
eighth in 25:24 and Larry Mangan was
tenth in a time of 25:30.
What made the win especially sweet
was the fact that Georgetown was
ranked ninth at the beginning of the
season while the Lions went
unrecognized. But now the shoe is on the
other foot as the Lions are riding high
(sth) while Georgetown has dropped out
of the picture.
The men's next meet will be Saturday
when they travel to Loyola for the
Central Collegiates Championship.
Berry, lady harriers
win Pitt Invitational
By STEVE NAYOWITH
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
The Lady Lion cross country team
yesterday had a repeat winner in a race
for the first time this season. Senior Liz
Berry, who was assured of the No. 2 spot
with the return of National champ Kathy
Mills, put in one of her best per
formances of the year to lead Penn State
to victory in the Pitt Invitational.
Berry crossed the finish line at 17:30,
13 seconds ahead of runner-up Mills.
Although Berry's best time this year is
17:29 at home, her performance was

good considering the hilly terrain on the
Pittsburgh 5,000 meter course.
"It was an extremely difficult
course," Coach Chris Brooks said.
"Kathy had trouble with the hills."
Mills was running in only her second
meet this season because of a foot-in
jury, so she still has not been working
out enough to get back into the shape she
was in before being sidelined.
Also coming back from an injury was
Peggy Cleary who managed to take 13th
place for the Lady Lions.
Third and fourth place in the meet
went to Penn State's Eastern rival
Maryland. Kim Dunlap and Mary Walsh
finished at 18:13 and 18:14 respectively
for the Terrapins.
Freshman Patty Murnane took fifth
place for the Lady Lions with a time of
18:51. She was followed by fellow
teammates Donna Gardner and Mary
Rawe. All three runners finished within
two seconds of each other with Gardner
at 18:52 and Rawe at 18:53. Lady Lion
Sue Hollick took 11th place in the meet,
finishing at 19:17.
"As far as bunching is concerned,"
Brooks said, "we've pulled up our
people."
That means that other teams will not
have as easy a time of getting their
runners in front of the Penn State run
ners. Teams that run in packs, such as
defending National champions lowa
State, will lose the advantage that pack
running gives.

Baseballera swept
as fall season ends
By RON WENIG
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
The Penn State baseball team ended
its season on a sour note yesterday by
dropping a twinbill to Indiana (Pa.) by
scores of 3-1 and 4-2.
The Lions were once again plagued by
a woeful hitting attack that could only
manage a meager 11 hits in the two
games. The defense was no less im
pressive as it turned in a total of six
errors on the day.
"We made too many mental mistakes
and our hitting just was not up to stan
dard," said Jeff Rumberger in
describing the losses.
A typical example of Penn State's
punchless attack occurred in the fifth
inning of the first game. In that inning,
the Lions scored their lone run of the
game thanks to a walk, fielders choice,
wild pitch and a sacrifice fly.
The only hitting production in the
game came from the DH spot in the
lineup where Mark Spanos and Keith
Muth combined for three hits.
The second game was just 'about a
carbon copy of the first in regards to
scoring runs. Both of Penn State's runs
in the game scored .on infield groun
douts. Shortstop Bob Orwig accounted
for three of the Lions' five hits.
The Penn State pitching was able to
keep the Lions in both games for the
most part. Frank Deutch and Todd
Kresgi combined to allow a total of two
earned runs and six hits in the first game
while Mark Lambert turned in a
relatively strong performance in the
second game until running into some
trouble in the sixth inning.
Errors also played a large part in the
Lions' downfall. Sloppy infield play
resulted in lUP runs in both games.
Although the fall season turned out to
be a less than successful one, Rum
berger still felt it was helpful for the

also got a look at a few good freshmen
pitchers who may help us."
J.V. gridders win
despite penalties
" The JV football team amassed 152
yards in penalties but still came back to
defeat previously unbeaten Rutgers
Friday in their first game of the season.
What the Jayvees gave up in penalties
they made up for in rushing and passing
by totaling over 300 yards in total of
fense.
Leo McClelland rushed for 92 yards
with 17 carries and Tony Alguero gained
45 yards in eight carries. They each had
a touchdown in the game.
Rutgers drew first blood, covering 80
yards in 15 plays, the last being a one
yard plunge by Joe Garefino. But that
was all they could get as the State
defense toughened up and held Rutgers
scoreless the rest of the game.
State's Terry Rakowski, having an
excellent day at quarterback, topped off
a 64 yard drive by hitting Tracy Hall
with a six yard touchdown pass in the
second'quarter. Herb Menhardt's extra
point tied the score at seven.
McClelland then drove through from
the one yard line to cap off a drive that
covered 30 yards in six plays and State
had a 14-7 lead a halftime.
Tony Alguero finished off a 55 yard
drive with a three yard touchdown run in
the third quarter. The extra point at
tempt failed so the score remained 20-7,
and that's how it ended as both teams
went scoreless in the final quarter.
This was Rutgers' first loss after two
impressive wins, (35-0) over Columbia
and (54-6) against West Chester.
The Jayvees will be in action against
Wesley Junior College at 2 p.m. Oct. 27,
on the East Hall Fields.
