Men, women take top cross country honors
By MIKE POORMAN
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
Penn State refused to fill the gracious host role
Saturday as both the men’s and women’s cross country
teams won team and individual honors in the Penn
State Open at the Blue golf course.
Alan Scharsu, battling high winds and a tough field,
won the men’s 10,000-meter race in 30:56 to lead the
Lions to a low point total of 24, easily defeating second
place Washington Sports Club with 84. Lion Larry
Mangan finished just seven seconds behind Scharsu to
grab third place behind Greater Rochester Track
Club’s Craig Holm.
In the women’s 5,d00-meter race it was the Lady
Lions all the way, as Heather Carmichael led a charge
of nine Penn State runners in the top 12 with a winning
time of 18:15.
Patty Murnane followed closely the entire route and
Netwomeri end dual meet season undefeated

A poor week of practice affected the
women’s tennis team this weekend, but
it was not enough for the University of
Pennsylvania to topple the Lady Lions
from its second consecutive undefeated
fall season.
The women’s tennis team won this
weekend’s meet 7-2, losing only the fifth-
and sixth-seeded singles matches.
“Overall, it looked like the team had a
bad week of practice,” women’s tennis
coach Candy Royer said. “The players
that had been practicing just doubles for
the Eastern Collegiate Tournament had

. Cherie Dow was scheduled to play
Anna Maria Kleis, Penn’s No. 1 player
and ranked the No. 1 singles player in
Puerto Rico, but Kleis never made it
back from a sectional tournament in
California.
Dow defeated Allison Accurso in the
top-seeded spot in straight matches 6-0,
6-0.
Lady Lion Carol Daniels played in the
second-seeded position in the match and
defeated Lisa Silversten, 6-1,6-2.

problems with Maura Williams. Beasley

Crepes
finished just six seconds later. Lady Lion Peg Cleary
posted third in 18:39 to help pace the women to a 20-51
victory over runner-up Nittany Valley Track Club.
The gusting 20 mile-per-hour winds affected race
strategy, Scharsu said.
“Being light is a big disadvantage in windy weather,”
the Ohio sophomore said. “I only have 112 pounds of
running force. That’s why I hung back and didn’t make
my move until late. I can’t run against the wind very
well.
“With a good team behind you, you can throw caution
to the wind. Having the team up there made my move a
little easier. It gives you a chance to gamble.”
Also gambling was Mangan, who was betting on his
miler’s kick to move him up from eighth to first-place
over the final yards
“At the six mile mark when I saw where the
second-place runner was I knew I had a good shot at
set 7-6 by dropping the tiebreaker 5-4.
Beasley came back ih the third set 6-2 to
take the match.
Captain Gail Ramsay did not play
singles this weekend because of a
strained leg muscle.
Valentina Garcia took Ramsay’s
fourth-seed and defeated Cathy Sch
webel in straight sets 7-5,6-1.
“Valentina had a brilliant per
formance,” Royer said. “She was down
0-5 in the first set and came back to win
the match.”
Lady Lion Sue Whiteside moved up to
the fifth spot and lost to Karen Nyman 6-

it,” the 4:01 miler said. “With 150 go, I started
kicking with the intent of getting second or third and
maybe even Alan.”
Freshman Jeff Adkins .was in contact with the leaders
the entire race and finished a strong eighth. Veterans
Tom Rapp and John Ziegler rounded out the winning
team’s top five as only 44 seconds separated Scharsu
and Ziegler.
The women’s race featured some spirited front
running as well.
“At the beginning we went out really hard,” Murnane
said. “We went through the mile (which was uphill and
into the wind) in 5:37.”
“The fast start was just a chance to get to use some
different strategy,” Carmichael said. '
Top Lady Lion Kathy Mills did not run. She twisted
her ankle during the warm-up, but the injury does not
appear to be serious.
“Sue lost the match because she has
not played enough singles this week
because she and Gail were practicing for
the doubles ‘ competition last week,”
Royer, said. “She had a bad week of
doubles practice.”
Since Ramsay was taken out of the
lineup at the last minute, Carole Zajac
played in the sixth-seeded position.Zajac
lost to Sue Wills, 6-1,6-4.
“Carole was not that match-tough,”
Royer said. “I didn’t make the decision
until that morning and it was hard for
Carole to get tough for the match that
quick.”.

Stamatis ties mark; Lions split
ByWILLPAKUTKA
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
Jim Stamatis pulled his turtleneck
sweater snug under his chin as he
strode up and down Jeffery Field
yesterday afternoon. .
They told him it was to be a big
event, but that ties were optional. So,
Stamatis set out after the all-time
school scoring title dressed casually,
butneat.
A goal and an assist enabled
Stamatis to tie Chris Bahr’s record of
67 points yesterday. But don’t bet on
his. dress being any more formal
when he sets put to break the record
in the Lion’s next game.
Even though people have been
trying to convince Stamatis that
breaking the record will be one of the
greatest achievements of his soccer
career, he just can’t find it any more
important than a Lion win
something that happened yesterday,
4-1, against LaSalle, but never oc
curred during Friday night’s 1-0
upset loss to Maryland.
“I’m anxious to get it (the record)
just because everybody else is
anxious for me to get it,” Stamatis
said. “It’s nice to be remembered but
we’ve got to worry about winning
games first.”
No Lion,, let alone Stamatis; was
able to pick up a point Friday night
; against Maryland, so Stamatis knew
he needed three points yesterday
against LaSalle to break the reocrd
during the homestand.
. His first point came just; 52 seconds
into the game when he centered a
pass to Duncan MaPEwan who put
home the first Lion goal of the day.
Stamatis’ second point came on an
identical play at 37:10, only this time
Stamatis’ pass hit a LaSalle defender
and trickled in (Stamatis got credit
for the goal). '
Stamatis missed his chance to
break the record in the second half
not by bad shooting or a fabulous
LaSalle defense, but by just one
minute.
“I thought it was ironic,” Penn
State coach Walt Bahr said. “We just
took Jimmy out, and less than a
minute later we get a penalty kick,
which at any other time, would have
been Stamatis’.”
Stamatis slid into his warm-up
outfit as Dan Canter put in that
penalty kick. Stamatis shook his hand
and couldn’t help but smile.
Earlier, a joint effort by Malik
Kermouche and Lou Karbiener had
giyen the Lions a solid lead. Ker
mouche was awarded the goal which
both players apparently kicked at the
same time. ,
The whole thing was such a con
trast to Friday night’s fiasco that one
had to laugh at the irony.
“That was just one of those
games,” Stamatis said yesterday.
“We could still be playing right now
and the score would be 0-o;”
■ Maryland won Friday night even
though the Terps took no shots that
went near the goal. The lone score of
the game came when the Terps’ Ron
McKeever centered a ball which
deflected off a Penn State defender
and slid intd the Lions’net.
The Maryland style of play left Lion
goalie Angelo Nickas feeling like a

Northeast trip reaps
stickgais 2 victories
By JUSTIN CATANOSO
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
STORRS, CONN The women’s field
hockey team beat the odds this weekend.
Despite being far from home, traveling
long hours on a bus and playing on fields
better suited for cow pastures, it still
managed a clean sweep of two Nor
theastern opponents.'
On Saturday, the third-ranked Lady
Lions (9-1) thrashed Rutgers 6-2 and
yesterday, in their biggest game to date,
dominated fourth-ranked Conneticut (11-
2), winning 2-1.
“I’m extremely pleased with the
team’s play this weekend,” Penn State
coach Gillian Rattray said, “especially
since we came on the road for two games
and played under such grueling con
ditions.”
Yesterday's game with Connecticut
was played on a badly mottled soccer
field where the north goals and shooting
circle were reduced to a mud hole.
This didn’t seem to bother Lady Lion
wing Candy Finn as she plodded through
the muck and fired two shots past Htisky
goalie Diane Hughes in the first eight
minutes of play. In Connecticut’s first 11
games, Hughes saw just four shots get
past her.
“Candy plays her best against the
toughest ■ competition,” Rattray said.
“When she gets determined, it’s very
hard to stop her,”
Showing extraordinary determination
was the Lady Lion defense. Led by
center back Sally Scheller, it held the
Huskies’ usually agressive offense to
just 13 shots, only three of which came in
the first half.
“The defense played extremely well,”
Rattray said. “They dominated the
The Daily Collegian Monday, Oct. 15,1979—9
midfield play and were always in
position in the circle."
Connecticut’s only goal came off a
disputed penalty stroke by its high
scorer Lauren Suchs midway through
the second half.
Lady Lion back Nancy Deal and
sweeper Wendy Emery both made vital
clearing passes in the closing minutes of
the game to keep the Huskies from tying
the score. Goalie Jeannie Fissinger had
six saves to preserve the win.
On Saturday, the Lady Lions’ game
with Rutgers (3-2-2) was Switched from
a swamp in New Brunswick, N.J., to a
marsh in Woodbridge. Because the
Knights’ field was worthy of fish life, the
teams met at Middlesex Community
College on a field only slightly drier.
In a soggy, slow moving contest, Penn
State leaped to an early 2-0 lead when
wing Deb Malone took a pass from
Scheller and nudged a shot past Knight
goalie Joan Gilbert. Two minutes later,,
link Judy Mahaffey followed up her own
shot for the second tally.
Rutgers, however, sloshed right back
behind goals by Mickey Totman and
Regina Alonza to tie the score and grab
the momentum.
Rattray, having started four fresh
men, decided that with Rutgers surging
and the field in poor condition, more
player experience was needed.
The players, forwards Jan Snyder and
Jill Van Bodegom-Smith and back Deal,
helped break up the long defensive
standoff and regained control of the
game for the Lady Lions.
Van Bodegom-Smith hit for two goals
midway through the second half to break
the tie and sink Rutgers’ confidence.
