Homecoming not missed
Somehow, I can’t imagine very many
people wanting to exchange a
Homecoming weekend here for a
seemingly endless bus trip to north
Jersey and Connecticut to view a couple
field hockey games. Last weekend,
however, I did precisely that, and with
little regret.
With the third, ranked Lady Lions
taking the road for games with Rutgers
and the University of, Connecticut, I
opted to travel along in order to get a
first-hand account of the games.
Leaving Homecoming behind was
painless. All that spirit and nostalgia
makes me ill, besides, I made a nice
profit on my football ticket.
One may be thinking what a lone male
reporter does with a busload of female
athletes on a trip such as this. Well, he
makes plenty of banal conversation with
the assistant coach, in this case
Charlene Morett, learns to play
backgammon and generally keeps his
mouth shut. At night, he rooms with the
bus driver. Sorry fellows.
Saturday’s game with Rutgers, a 6-2
victory, was one mix-up after another,
the result of poor planning by the host
team. Since the Knights’ field was
holding water like a sponge, the game
was moved to a nearby community
college. The field there, although in
better condition, still featured puddles of
water beneath your feet. *
The big story of the game was that the
team captain, an All-American, and a
prolific scorer regained their starting
positions over a trio of talented fresh
men.
Nancy Deal contributed aggressive
defense when needed the most, Jan
Snyder helped the sputtering offense get
back on track and Jill Van Bodegom-
Smith knocked in the game winning
goals.

Fieldwomen battle Slip

With top ranked West Chester coming up on Saturday, the
women’s field hockey team may have a hard time con
centrating on this afternoon’s game at Slippery Rock State
College.

Van Bodegom-Smith said, “I think it’s
more important to do well right away,
even more so than if you started. But it’s
not easy to come in cold and get into the
flow of the game right away.”
Sunday’s game with fourth ranked
Connecticut was no less disorganized.
The Huskies! field, too, was saturated
and the game had to be played on a badly
worn soccer field.
Nevertheless the Lady Lions showed
why they are one of the top teams in the
nation as they cast aside their weariness
from the previous day’s competition and
traveling to defeat Connecticut 2-1.
Although Candy Finn’s two goals
provided the winning margin, it was a
fearless defensive unit that frustrated
the home team’s potent offensive attack
the entire game to preserve the im
portant win.
Sally Scheller and Mary Sue Patterson
refused to be intimidated by the Huskies’
rough play and have the bruises to prove
it.. Goalie Jeannie Fissinger and sweeper
Wendy Emery acted like a lock in front
of the net that Connecticut didn’t have a
key to.
“We knew they had a real good at
tack,” Scheller said, “so our plan was to
keep them out of the shooting circle as
much as we could. We (the backs)
usually don’t start marking up until a
team reaches the circle, but against
Connecticut, we applied a lot of pressure

Connecticut, may find overlooking the Rockets, hardly a
national power, ah easy thing to do
“They aren’t up to the competition we’ve been facing in the
last few weeks,” Penn State coach Gillian Rattray said, “but
we never take them lightly.
“It’s a good physical education school and two years ago
when we had (All-Americans) Chris Larson and Charlene
Morett, we lost to them by one goal on their home field. ’ ’
at the midfield and concentrated on
backing each other up.”
Up in the windswept press box above
the soccer field, Huskie partisans
couldn’t understand why their team
wasn’t producing. One gentleman of:
fered these suggestions. “Every time
there is a delay (the game was over an
hour late starting),” he said, “the
Connecticut girls play poorly in the first
half. And this field isn’t helping them'
any.”
I kept my suggestions to myself (a
wise choice for obvious health reasons),
but I couldn’t help but wonder if this
gentleman actually believed that the
Lady Lions didn’t suffer through, the
same delay and were somehow playing
on a sleek field of Astroturf. Excuses
aside, although Connecticut possesses a.
talented squad, it was simply outhustled
and outplayed by Penn State.
Don’t forget, as I often do, that the
junior varsity, 8-0-1, captained by Deb
Caster and Joyce Holberg, enjoyed the
same success as the varsity. Sue Par 7
sons’ four goals led the Lady Lions past
Rutgers 6-0 and Sharon Tinucci’s'gdal
was enough to defeat UConn irO.
Defensively, goalie Colleen Shannon has
given up just one goal all season and has
eight shutouts to her credit.
“I’m really impressed with the
jayvee’s determination from game to
game,” Coach Morett said, “especially
since they don’t get as much attention as
the varsity does. There really is a lot of
talent on the squad and in practice, they
make the varsity that much better.”
The four victories, coupled with head
coach Gillian Rattray’s announcement
that Maryland upset top ranked West
Chester, left the team ecstatic as the bus
rambled home through the dazzling
colored Connecticut countryside.
I don’t care if I miss Homecoming
every year.

Q: If the Pirates beat the Orioles today
and tomorrow to win the World Series,
they will become the second team in less
than a dozen years to come back from a
three games to one deficit and do so.
Name the last team, and year.
Yesterday’s answer: Lawrence P.
(Yogi) Berra, catcher for the New York
Yankees from 1947-61, has the most
career hits in World Series play with 71.
Jets overcome ABC jinx
Stumbling Vikings sunk
NEW YORK (AP) Quarterback
Richard Todd turned a fumbled punt into
a 3-yard scoring run and safety Shafer
Suggs returned an interception 32 yards
for another touchdown last night as
Minnesota coughed up the ball seven
times and helped the New York Jets to a
14-7 victory.
It was the Jets’ first victory in eight
Monday night games since ABC and the
National Football League began it in
1970. And it came in their first Monday
nighter at home.
The Jets, 3-4, ran the ball consistently
against Minnesota’s defense, while
young quarterback Tommy Kramer
passed almost unhindered against New
York’s secondary.
But it was the turnovers four in
terceptions and three fumble recoveries
that enabled the Jets to keep the
Vikings, also 3-4, from cutting into
Tampa Bay’s two-game lead in the
National Conference’s Central Division.
Minnesota’s touchdown came with
6:36 gone in the fourth period, when
Chuck Foreman climaxed a 73-yard
drive with a one-yard plunge. It was his
52nd career touchdown, tying Bill Brown
The Dally Collegian Tuesday, Oct. 16,1979—9
for the Vikings’ club record.
New York got its first scoring op
portunity with just 2:16 gone in the game
when punt, returner Jimmy Edwards
was smacked by John Sullivan of the
Jets and fumbled. Tim Moresco
recovered on the Vikings’ 18-yard line
and, five plays later, Todd faked a
handoff and sprinted untouched into the
left corner of the end zone.
Rich-Szaro, the former New Orleans
placekicker signed by the Jets to replace
injured Pat Leahy, kicked the extra
point for the 7-0 lead at 4:56 of the first
period.
