B—The Daily Collegian Wednesday, April 23,1980 Stickgals credit English for win By SHARON FINK Daily Collegian Sports Writer The women’s lacrosse team really had no time to practice for, concentrate on or think about yesterday’s game with Lock Haven, since its game against the world champion English squad Monday night occupied most of its thoughts. Well, so what? In what could be called one of their best all-around efforts of the season with strong performances both offensively and defensively, the Lady Lions (5-0-2) and goalie Alisa Logan shut out the Eagles, 7-O.The shutout is Penn State’s first in over a year. A lot of credit for the Lady Lions’ performance is a result of the com petition they faced in the England game, Penn State coach Gillian Rattray said. She was concerned the team might be in for a letdown after that. . ‘‘Things were a little different today,” she said. “I think that game really helped us. It gave the freshmen a lot of confidence, and all the girls enjoyed itso much. We learned so much from the English; I knew it would help us in the future. “But I think today we were just playing. We didn’t have much time to prepare for this game,-but I think it was a good game for us, coming off the England game and going right back into t the regular season swing.” Penn State’s deiense was the highlight Netwomen blank Bisons, 9-0 By JEFFSCHULER Daily Collegian Sports Writer The women’s tennis team celebrated its first home match in almost three weeks by shutting out Bucknell,9-0. Penn State coach Candy Royer said the Lady Lions (7-3) are showing a definite pattern of improvement. “Coming off the past two weekends (the Ohio State and Mid-State In vitationals), I know we’re getting better,” Royer said. “We’re more confident and we’re hitting the ball better than earlier in the season.’ ’ Bucknell only managed to win one set against the Lady Lions. That was at No. 6 singles, where Lady Lion Carole Zajac defeated the Bisons’ ■tok&s>delea6e; ; ' 'i-. i' V - r ' : ' z.i, r ■' ■ • 1 ft' ' 7 Meatball Sub and the Press Bqx 12 foot Salad Bar.

Regular coverpoint Cindy O’Donnell had problems with her ankle, so regular third man Michele Fielder was moved to coverpoint and freshman Pattie Sue Ewan played at third man. And the defense and Logan drew praise from Rattray. “The defense was extremely good; it was very tight,” she said. “Pattie Sue played nicely, and (freshman defense wing) Jane Koffenberger had an ex cellent game. Her positioning was very, very good the entire game. But all the defense were good. They really looked together “And it was such a good effort from Alisa. Lacrosse is such a high-scoring game it’s hard not to get a goal in 50 minutes. But Alisa felt very good today. She took some really tough shots, some point-blank ones Monday night, and she saved them. It obviously helped her confidence.” The fact that four of the seven Lady Lion goals came off assists also was an encouraging sign, Rattray said. “One of the things I liked was that four goals came on beautiful assists,” she said. “On offense, we’re now moving better and passing off at last, and that’s important to our offensive game. It’s something we have to go and work on.” Rattray praised the offensive play of freshman Jo Javens at third home in Cindy Appel 3-6,6-4,6-3. “I thought Carole had an excellent match,” Royer said. “She started slowly but that could be because she hasn’t been used too much this spring. Cherie (Dow, a 6-3, 6-1 winner over Donna Burns at No. 1) and Gail Ramsay both had some good points in their matches.” Ramsay, who defeated Patty Koch 6-2, 6-1 at the No. 3 singles, said the Lady Lions had to guard against a letdown against the Division II Bisons. “I was hard to get psyched up after the past two weekends," she said. “We knew it would be easier to win than to lose. Today was not a good day to show how much we’ve im- Only $2. 29 proved since the beginning of the season.” But Penn State’s captain and lone senior said the team has improved since the season-opening 6-3 loss to Princeton. “We’ve pulled together developed more team unity,” Ramsay said. “And we’ve learned to fight more to win.” Ramsay combined with Carol Daniels for a 6-2, 6-3 win over Bucknell’s pair of Burns and Kirsten Scheubeuer in the doubles com petition. Royer and Ramsay agreed that next week’s match with Maryland will be much more demanding than yesterday’s mismatch. vV; Candy Finn, who scored in this earlier season game, put two in the net for the women’s lacrosse team in its 7-0 victory at Lock Haven yesterday. particular. Javens was the leading Penn State scorer with three goals, but also credited the people who had the assists. “I got all three off really pretty assists,” Javens said. “Lynnie \fa*m Every Tuesday & Wednesclay~c’■■■* x: ~come on down and check out our Specials on Selected Art Supplies Basic Stuff at Great Prices!
