—The Daily Collegian Monday, May 7, 1979 Penn State shortstop Bob Orwig attempts a sacrifice bunt in a recent game at Beaver Field. The Lions split a End season with perfect slate Lacrossewomen bombard Towson By TOM VERDUCCI Daily Collegian Sports Writer Perfection. Every team strives for it, but few attain it. The Lady Lion lacrosse team became one of those few as it concluded its season with a 10-0 record by trouncing Towson State 7-1 on Friday. If that wasn't enough, Penn State then went out and captured the Central Penn Tour nament by sweeping four games the next day. _ "They've done a great job this year," Penn State coach Gillian Rattray said. "When you think of the number of switches we've had, they should be congratulated for their adaptability." The best lineup switch' of the year occurred Friday when co-captain Charlene Morett returned from her tour with the U.S. field hockey team. The senior from Lansdowne-Aldan hadn't picked up a lacrosse stick in a month but still had three assists while leading the Lady Lion attack. "It's good to have her back," Rattray said. "She had some beautiful assists, and she's such a playmaker because of her great timing. She's a great asset to the team psychologically. Morett and (Candy) Finn are beautiful together."

The Lady Lipns lead only 2-1 at halftime, but the attack soon solved Towson's tight defensive puzzle. "Their goalie was fantastic," Finn said. "We were trying to fake her out but she was faking us. She was intimidating us so we started cutting' through the defense and shooting off passes instead of a run. We got her moving across the crease." The Lady Lions threw a curve at Towson themselves by switching positions in the flow of the game. Karen Schnellenbach played at the center position for the draws and then switched with Theresa Arena at attack wing. Arena was unable to take the draws because of two badly bruised fingers. "They didn't realize we were swit ching," Schnellenbach said. "Their Center would come down and cover me on defense and that might have slowed up their attack." Penn State goalkeeper Jody Field also slowed up the Towson attack. Field came up with 19 saves in the game on just 24 Towson shots, including 15 out of 16 in the second half. Field continued her brilliant goalkeeping in the Central Penn double-header with Pitt yesterday on their home field, winning the opener 1-0 before dropping the night cap 7-5. In those four tournament games, Penn State seemed to be putting everything together as they prepared for this weekend's Division I national cham pionship at home. "The offense was probably the best it has been all year long," Rattray said. "Everything was starting to click. The defense played •man-to-man the whole day. I was pleased with the overall team Performance." The Lady Lions were also consistent in their scoring against the two Central Penn teams. In the first game against the Red Caps, Morett and Finn each scored ' five times and against the Cabooses, Morett scored six. The 30 goal two-game output was accomplished without regular first home Lynn Thompson_ who broke her nose,. "We had a lot of really pretty passes," Schnellenbach said. "We've been on for a moment during the year, but we were more consistent in our passing and catching." Tournament as she alloWed only 16 goals in the four games. On offense, the Lady Lions were collecting 46 of their own, 19 by Morett, as they ran over two Central Penn club teams (16-5, 14-4), Bucknell (8-0) and a tourament all-star team (8- 7).

By WILL PAKUTKA Daily Collegian Sports Writer The second game of yesterday's double-header with Pittsburgh marked the 400th time Penn State's Chuck Medlar has sat in the dugout as his team's head coach good cause for celebration, right? Almost. After 17 years and 400 games it seems a shame that the spirit should be dampened bronly three runs, but that's exactly how it turned out with the Lions dropping a 7-5 decision in the second game. But the afternoon wasn't a total loss. Medlar cari always remember number 399 as a 1-0 victory. "These double-headers, they're tough to win," Medlar said. "You have to have them though, so you'll have enough games on your schedule." It's not as though the Lions didn't have their chances in the second game. They loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the first inning only to come away empty. The bases were loaded again in the bottom of the seventh (and last) inning when Pitt hurler Tim Moran fanned Paul Gallagher to end the game. "We didn't take advantage in the second ballgame," Medlar said. "We 'should have scored a couple in the first inning. We've got to start getting hits . with men on base." For a while, the second game looked as though it would be a low scoring quickie like the first game. But in the top of the sixth inning, the Panthers jumped all over Lion starter Dave June and reliever John Kosmowski to score six runs and pull into a 7-1 lead. "June just ran out of gas," Medlar Netwomen By MARK FALLER Daily Collegian Sports Writer The Lady Lion tennis team roared from the start of yesterday's match with Michigan, winning the first two singles matches but then stalled and wound up losing for the second straight time this weekend. Penn State, after being shut out 9-0 by Ohio State on Saturday, dropped a 7-2 decision to Michigan, lowering its record to 6-3. "The losses were probably the best thing for us right now, with regionals coming up," Penn State coach Candy Royer said. "Overall, the matches were good. We played a lot better today (Sunday)."

If you went for a cup of coffee on the way to Beaver Field or stopped in the "port-a-johns" for any length of time, 'you might have missed the first game entirely. A little more than an hour passed between the first pitch and the final out of the game with Lion hurler Mark 'Lambert and Pitt's Allen Lackowicz scattering only seven hits and no earned runs between them. Lion catcher Terry Brown knocked in Tom Cervino for the only run of the game in the second inning and from then on it was Lambert and Lackowicz in the spotlight fanning eight and seven respectively on the day. "The first game was just an excellent ballgame," Medlar said. It was not a total victory for the Lions, however. For the first time this season, Lion captain Jeff Rumberger was held hitless in that first contest. Rumberger reached on an error, grounded out to second base, and then, in his final plate appearance of the game, smacked a ball deep into left field which was caught at the fence, by Pitt's Rich Kline. When that near homerun fell into Kline's glove, it ended a streak which had lasted through all 17 previous Penn State games this season and even carried over five more from last season. Rumberger started a new streak in the 'second game though, going 2 for 4 at the plate. The Lions take on Indiana University of Pennsylvania in an away double header tomorrow. - roar a little; Kathy Karzen 6-4, 6-1. Anne Beasley extended the lead to 2-0 with a 6-7, 6-3, 6-0 win over Sue Weber. "Anne lost to her three times in the past," Royer said. "She played smart and safe tennis." After that, it was all Michigan. The Wolverines only allowed one other match to go three sets, with Barbara Hare losing to Ann Kercher 3-6, 6-2, 6-3. The doubles were swept by Michigan. Against Ohio State, it was more of the' same, as only one of the nine matches went three sets. Ohio State's Maria Olazagasti beat Daniels 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 ingih. one singles, and the Lady Buckeyes never looked back. "Ohio State was a lot stronger than last year," Royer said. "We made too many errors; we did not take charge." Anif , 112 W.

Royer said the losses should help point out the team's weaknesses. "We have to practice with a little more variety.
