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

of the game, even with some lineup
changes. 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-

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.

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

Flyers win to eliminate
PHILADELPHIA (AP) A 1 Hill’s 10-
foot goal in the final minute of the first
period started the Philadelphia Flyers to
a 3-1 victory over the New York Rangers
last night and a 4-1 triumph in their best
of-seven National Hockey League
quarterfinal playoff series.
Center Mel Bridgman contributed key
assists on the first two goals for
Philadelphia, which now meets either
the Minnesota North Stars or'the New
York Islanders in the Stanley Cup
semifinals.
The Islanders moved into the
semifinals by beating Boston 4-2 last
night for a 4-1 decision in their series.
The Flyers would meet Minnesota if the
North Stars were able to beat defending
champion Montreal in their series.
Otherwise, they would play the Islan
ders.

Philadelphia’s clincher over the
Rangers was rookie goalie Pete Peeters’
fourth triumph of the series. Peeters had
his second shutout of the quarterfinals
until 14:27 of the third period, when New

goalie’s pads for the final goal of the,

Philadelphia took a 1-0 lead at 19:03 of
the first period when Hill skated through
the slot, faked New York goalie John
Davidson to the right and then poked the
puck into the left side of the net.

Quakers stun tennismen, 7-2
By CAROL BROWN
j Daily Collegian Sports Writer
* Maybe the fact that the men’s
tennis team had four straight wins
last weekend made it a little relaxed
and unable to get psyched for the big
match.
Or maybe the fact that the Lions
k have had 10 away games in a span of
36 days has made them just
exhausted.
In any case, the Lions’ 7-2 loss to
the University of Pennsylvania left
Penn State coach Holmes Cathrall
disgusted and frustrated with his
g team.
“I’m more upset than they are,”
Cathrall said. “I know what they are
capable of doing,”
The Lions’ performances obviously
fell way short of their canahilities a*
they dropped many matches in split
sets or tiebreakers and were unable
to muster even one win from their
usually strong doubles teams.
Tim McAvoy teamed with Jon
Whiteside to lose the No. 1 doubles
match, 6-2, 7-5, to Murray Robinson
and Eric Riley.
The Quakers’ No. 2 doubles of
Ethan Hardy and Rich Smithline
destroyed Lions Bill Schilling and
Don Lowry, 6-2,6-4.
The Lion duo of Tom Beckhard and
Bill Schmucker dropped its match, 7-
6, 6-4, to Glenn Merritt and Oleh
Hnatiuck.
Schmucker had much more success
in his singles match, winning in
straight sets. He defeated Smithline,
6-4, 7-5. No. 2 singles was another
bright spot in the match as Schilling
An Active Equal Opportunity Employer M/F
came back from a first set loss to
defeat Riley, 4-6, 7-6, 6-2.
Unfortunately, the momentum
went in the opposite direction for
McAvoy in his No. l singles match.
McAvoy made a strong start, beating
Robinson 6-2 in the first set. Robinson
then squeaked by in the second set
with a 7-5 win and took the third set, 6-
2.
Cathrall had praise for his winners
but also a warning for the team.
“Schilling and Schmucker played
well enough to win,” he said.
“However, I expected we’d do a lot
better. The team may as well not
show up for the rest of the matches
this week (Bloomsburg on Thursday
and Maryland on Friday) if they are
going to play the same way.”
Iron Lions capture AAU crown
Amidst the grunts, groans and
physical abuse of its muscles, the
Barbell Club put on a dazzling display of
weightlifting at the Amateur Athletic
Union championships held at York
College over the weekend.
The Lions won the AAU title by scoring
30 team points which was six better than
the second-place team from Louisiana
Tech. Five lifters represented Penn
State in the grueling competition,
Other Lion lifters who competed in the
competition were John Kresge (132),
who finished third, and Dave Wedlake
(148), who finished second in breaking
the Penn State record for the snatch with
a lift of 242 pounds. The old record was
225 pounds.
John Giduck (181), who finished third
in the competition, and Ray Sherry
(188), who finished fifth, also
represented the club in the tourney.
Sherry had a clean and jerk lift of 336
