Penn State’s M ary Sue Patterson (19) said the Lady Lions will "play rough if we have to" when the top-seeded fieidwomen
meet Temple Nov. 16, in the Mid-Atlantic tournament in a rematch of last year’s playoff.
Top seed/rematch for stickgals
By JUSTIN CATANOSO
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
Last November, the women’s field
hockey team, seeded first regionally and
riding the crest of an undefeated season,
splashed into Philadelphia hoping to
wash out the Mid-Atlantic competition
en route to the national playoffs.
Unseeded and unheralded Temple,
however, pulled the plug on the Lady
Lions, upsetting them 2-1 in the tour- .
nament’s opening round, thus drowning
their hopes for a national title in a sea of
bitter disappointment.
This season, Penn State finds itself
flowing in the same current. Again the
Lady Lions, 12-2 and ranked second
nationally, are the top seed of eight Mid-
Atlantic teams and again will face
Temple (seeded eighth and ranked 15th
at 11-4-2) in the opening round of
regionals next Friday (Nov. 16) at
Temple University in Philadelphia.
“We are all very happy to be matched
with Temple,” Penn State goalie
Jeannie Fissinger said. “It’s our chance
to prove that we should have beaten
them last year.”
Overconfidence did not topple the
Lady Lions from the playoffs last
season, Lady Lion coach Gillian Rattray
said. Rough play, bad breaks and poor
officiating did.
“We tried too much finesse against a
very physical team,” she said. “We
outplayed them in every area of the
game, but we let ourselves be worried
too much by the officiating, which was
s. /-s i-v r-
very poor.”
Temple’s first goal was scored by
Terry Brookshaw on a hotly disputed
penalty stroke and the game winner was
deflected past Fissinger by Larraine
Lodise on a pass from Bev Grove.
That winning combination
foreshadowed Temple’s present, season
as Lodise led the Lady Owls in scoring
with 14 goals with Grove tops in assists
with 12. ’
Of the seven other team’s competing
next week, Temple is the only squad the
Lady Lions did not face during the
regular season. Rattray said she knows
very little about the Lady Owls, but if
last year’s game is any indication of
what to expect, the fieidwomen better
not forget their shin guards.
“Temple played a very physical
game,” Fissinger said. “Everyone came
out of it with bumps and bruises.”
Fissinger knows that better than
anyone. During one wild scramble in
front of the net, she had her nose broken
and a front tooth knocked out by the stick'
of a Temple player. '
“We just weren!t expecting the level of
play to be dragged down like it'was,”
link Mary Sue Patterson said. “But this
year we’re mentally prepared for a
game like that. We’re a skilled team, but
we’ll play rough if we have to.”
Exhibiting its skill, Penn State of
fense, led by Candy Finn’s 15 goals, was
not held scoreless all season' Temple
was shutout in each of its four losses and
it’s up to the Lady Lion defense to bottle

up the Lady Owls’ quick attack. ,
“We’ll play them tight man-to-man all
over the field,” back Sally Scheller said.
“It worked well against Ursinus (a 1-0
win) and we were under a lot of
pressure. It should work against
'Temple, too, ”
Regardless of how excited the Lady
Lions are about the rematch, Temple is
apparently underwhelmed.
I “We have gradually accepted the fact
that we have to play them again,”
Temple coach Tina Sloan-Green said.
“I’d much rather we play someone
else.”
But Penn State is eager to meet the
challenge, Rattray said.
“The girls’ attitudes are good and they
are really dedicated. I think they are
taking it more seriously than last year,”
she said. “They know they have a great
chance to go to nationals, but they have
to get through regionals first, ’ ’

Nationals not easy for Lady Lions
By MIKE POORMAN
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
The women’s cross country team, winner of last
week’s Eastern Association for Intercollegiate
Athletics for Women cross country meet, will travel to
Tallahassee, Fla., Nov. 17, for the AIAW national'
Championship meet.
Kathy Mills, third at the AIAW meet last year after a
wrong turn cost her a possible victory, will again head
the Lady Lions as they hope to improve upon their third
place team finish of 1978.
. Any improvement will be a tall order to fill, as
numerous teams loom as pre-race contenders. lowa
State claims sole squatter’s rights to the meet’s team
title', having won the championship all six years the
race has been run.
North Carolina State, second last year, looks even
stronger as it won its region last week and boasts the
potent sister duo of Mary and Julie Shea as well as a
dazzling new wave of freshmen. Virginia, which
defeated Penn State by a single point in an early season
dual meet, has one of the only two runners to beat Mills
this year in Margaret Groos.

Penn State and Villanova again.
It will be business as usual when these
two Eastern cross country powers battle
it out for team honors at Saturday’s
National Collegiate Athletic Association
District II championship meet at 1 p.m.
at Lehigh University’s Saucon Valley
Field.
In the 50-team field for the 10,000-
meter (6,2 mile) race, the No. 1
challenger to dethrone defending
champion Penn State will be Villanova,
a team led by Africans Sydney Maree
and Amos Kip Korir and American ace
Cary Pinkowski.

top nine in their regional meet, and California-Berkeley
rank with Midwestern power Wisconsin as teams which
could cause the Lady Lions trouble.
But the Penn State women can cause problems of
their own. In winning the EAIAW title they grabbed the
second through fourth spots Patty Murnane finished
third and Heather Carmichael fourth and whipped
runner-up Maryland by 85 points in an amazing show of
depth.
the secret to that whopping victory, however, was
the finish of Penn State’s back-up, runners. Magda
Kubasiewicz and Carol Ihrig placed high in the stan
dings and together with experienced veterans Peg
Cleary and Mary Rawe will provide the key to the Lady
Lions’ performance at the AIAW meet.
“Against teams like N.C. State, we need to match up
with them from the first through the last .woman. We
can’t afford to have a gap anywhere,” Penn State
assistant coach Jane Welzel said, emphazing that all of
her runners must run even with the top opponents’
, people.
“We’re lucky enough to have sixth and seventh
women good enough to fill those gaps,” she said.

must break up the top three grouping of
Villanova, Penn State coach Harry
Groves said.
“But exactly where our fourth and
fifth men finisn in relation to our first
men will decide the meet,” Groves said.
“And in a tight meet, the sixth and
seventh men become pretty potent
scorers, even though'they don’t score
points for you. They do jack up the other
team’s score.”
Freshmen Jeff Adkins and Rick
Garcia, junior Tom Rapp and either
sophomore Mark Stevison or captain
Jim Clelland will be those key-runners.
“There’s a lot on the line- this
weekend,” said Scharsu, who placed

basically flat course that follows a narrow path for the
middle mile-and-a-half of the route. This will make for
an early fast pace, Welzel said, predicting the first mile
to go in around five minutes.
If that occurs it will be the fastest initial mile of the
yearior the Lady Lions. Practice will be geared toward
“getting used to going out at such a hard pace,” she
said.
A hot pace could be a problem for senior Mills.
“Kathy will naturally be with the front-runners, but
there are still some things she still needs to work on,”
Welzel said. “Speed is definitely what she’s lacking, but
endurance-wise she’s there.”
And her foot, injured last year, still necessitates
careful scrutiny when doing speedwork, Welzel said;
A past injury will also put a damper on Kubasiewicz’s
speed training as she hasn’t done any real quality speed
workouts for a year.
Murnane and Carmichael, both experienced in
national competition, should fare well as Welzel cites
the EAIAW meet as giving Murnane “the confidence
she needs.” And Carol Ihrig, coming off a strong per
formance at Easterns, is tabbed by Welzel as another
runner nearing peak.

can handle Villanova pretty easily, it
will give us the confidence we need going
to nationals.” . . ' .

If the Lions finish amdng the top five
