B—The Daily Collegian Friday Oct. 10, 1980 Lions take little-used road act to Maryland By RICII SCARCELLA Daily Collegian Sports Writer The intervals between road games for the men's soccer team may not be as lengthy as the intervals between Bruce Springsteen concert tours, but the gap is narrowing. It's been almost three weeks since Penn State has made one of its rare guest appearances, crawling out of West Chester with a 3-2 double-overtime win on Sept. 21 . Out-of-town fans get an opportunity to see the seventh-ranked Nittany Lions (8-1) perform at 2 p.m. today at Maryland. Penn State, which has shown signifi cant improvement over those three weeks, has won six consecutive games five at Jeffrey Field, including victories over Cleveland State and St. Louis. "Jeffrey Field has to be one of the best fields around to play on," Lion mid fielder Dan Murphy said. "The crowd is different there. It's something you miss when you're not playing there." Goalkeeper Angelo Nickas said that an away game can reduce the effectiveness of a team if the players don't discipline their thinking "We've had a great record at home," Nickas said. "Of course we feel• more comfortable playing at Jeffrey Field. Attention! Graduating Seniors MINING ENGINEERS METALLURGICAL ENGRS. E.E. & MECH. ENGRS. CHEM. & CIVIL ENGRS.

The biggest difference between a home and away game for Penn State, coach Walter Bahr said, is the corn; parative quality and size of the playing field. "We're so spoiled playing at Jeffrey Field," Bahr said. "It's a big field, a level field with good grass. If we could take our field with us, we'd be very happy "Some schools are not as fortunate as we are. Their fields are either too nar row or too bumpy. Maryland's field is regulation size, but the surface is a little bumpy." It doesn't seem to bother the Terrapins what or where the playing surface is agaipst the Lions. They could be on Mount St. Helens and they would still give Penn State fits. Last year at Jeffrey Field, the Lions dominated the action yet Maryland came out on top, 1-0. In 1978, Penn State managed to escape College Park by the same score. "Maryland has the same record as they did at this time last year," Bahr said. "They've lost one or two more than they've won. They've had trouble scor ing goals. But they're always talented," (51,. ri1:104 it • 51 /rN :~, MSS t.?

The Lady Lions, coming off a spec tacular weekend with 15 goals in two wins, will enter tomorrow's game with a season record of 7-2. St. John Fisher, a varsity team, was third in the East last year, and lost only one game. This year it has all of its players returning. "They're a very physical team," Penn State coach Tim Conley said. "They have good ball skills, and are very aggressive." St. John Fisher may have all its players returning, but the Lady Lions counter with a productive lineup of their own. On offense, Penn State boasts mid fielders Pat Guinan, Elvira Falsetta and Anne Yearsly, wings Shawn Ladda and Sheryl Blumenthal, and striker Linda Bulanchuck. Ladda is high scorer for the team with eight goals and Guinan is se cond with seven goals. Fullbacks Jackie Vinkler, Laurie Frederick, Laurie Jones and Joyce Leibelsperger, and goalkeeper Patti Wisnewski lead the defense.

Goalkeeper PattiWisnewski has had an outstanding season, holding the op position to nine goals. "Patti is becoming an excellent goalkeeper," Conley said. "She distributes the ball well, and can handy, the difficult balls; she's really learning the game." But the success of the women's soccer team this season is not solely because of the starting 11 players. Substitutes Lisa Sims, Sandy Palacios and Meredith Wagner have contributed greatly to the team effort. Sims is the third highest scorer with five goals, Palacios has four, and Wagner three. The Lady Lions will also face a strong Eastern varsity team next week, when they host Cortland State. Victories over Cortland State and St. John Fisher would almost assure fir.

There doesn't seem to be an in-between. The field hockey team doesn't get much of a chance to play on Astroturf. The last time it did was two years ago at the Ohio State Invitational, played at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. - The rest of their games, though, have been played on rutty, bumpy grass fields including Penn State's own Lady Lion Field. Also rare are the times the Lady Lions practice on the Astroturf football prac tice field. But they practiced on it last night and they'll do it again tonight to prepare for this year's Ohio State Invita tional at Columbus. There Penn State will he back on the Astroturf again and find out if it's amicable or hostile when it plays Indiana University at 5 p.m. tomorrow and Ohio State at noon on Sun day at Ohio Stadium. From the sounds of things, the Lady Lions are expecting a neighborly recep tion from the Buckeyes' turf. "I'm looking forward to it," Penn 4 State sweeper Terri Lovelace said. "It's always a lot of fun. It'll give us a chance to really see what our skill level is, as in dividuals and in our team work. definitely think it will be an advan- tage for us. Penn State, as a whole, has excellent stickwork, and playing on the I turf will bring that out even more." Penn State coach Gillian Rattray also said the Astroturf should be in the Lady Lions' favor. "I think it will really help our game," she said. "It will shoW our finesse and stickwork. We're looking forward to the challenge and opportunity to play on it." Rattray does have an ulterior motive, though. "We're not counting our chickens before they're hatched," she laughed, "but nationals will be played on Astroturf this year, too." In general, the Astroturf should add a little extra to the tournament, For the ThE RATIISkEttER Fri. J. B. Sot. —J. B. Sun. Afternoon Big Screen T. V. Sun.

Sharon Tinucci (32) and her Penn State teammates will be playing on Astroturf for the first time in two years at the Ohio State Invitational tomorrow and Sunday in Columbus, Ohio. most part, the Lady Lions expect the games to be faster-paced and more skill ed than usual and also for. Ohio State to have a more definite home-team advan tage because the Buckeyes are used to playing on the artificial surface. But playing Ohio State at home may not be a good gauge of what kind of a team the Buckeyes really are. This year they're 3-3-1, winning all three games at home and losing all three played on grass fields on the road. "Ohio State looks like an up-and-down team, a home-and-away team," Rattray said. "They play well on the Astroturf at home but not on a bumpy field. It's tough for them." ' Rattray said Ohio State is still strong, despite losing six seniors -from last year's team, including leading scorer (25 goals) and U.S. Olympian Sue Marcellus. But its second-leading scorer, Sue Freed, is back and has a team-leading 10 goals this year. The Ohio State goalkeeping duties are shared by a freshman and two sophomores. The Lady Lions should be on even terms with Indiana, but they may have a little more experience on the turf. But to even that out, Penn State has to endure a 6 1 / 2 -hour bus ride to Columbus before it plays the Hoosiers. "I don't think the Astroturf is as big a factor as the bus ride," Rattray said. "As soon as we get there, we get off the bus and play." The bus ride might slow the Lady Lions up a little at the beginning of the game, Lovelace said. "I think we're going to be cautious at first," she said. `.l3ut once we get the feel of being on the field, we'll be pretty confident."

SATURDAY: Bob Doyle mid-point of the Lady Lions' schedule, they will have 15 games worth of col legiate experience behind them. Indiana is 6-6-3. "It's amazing they've played 15 games," Rattray said. "That's as many as most schools play in a season - an en tire season. I think the Indiana freshmen are getting their experience on the field. "And I have a sneaking suspicion, from what I've been told, they're getting better." • The last time the Lady Lions met In diana was two years ago in the 1978 Ohio State tournament, and Penn State won, 3-0. "Indiana can be strong at times, and they usually produce some pretty good teams," Penn State forward Sharon Tinucci said. "They should give us a good go for our money. They have before." Lions host in lacrosse By RON MUSSELMAN Daily Collegian Sports Writer The fourth . annual Penn State Lacrosse Tournament on Sunday is the only place to go in the state for fall lacrosse action. Penn State coach Glenn Thiel said the tournament should be very com petitive and expects Rutgers and two time tournament champion Towson State to provide the toughest opposi tion in the eight-team field. "Towson and Rutgers will be rank ed in the top 10 or 12 in the country and Bucknell is always even with us, so it's gonna be tough," Thiel said. "The other teams are probably a notch below us, but they're still pretty good teams." Other teams entered in the tourna ment are Gettysburg, Montclair, Lehigh and Villanova. The'Lions host Gettysburg in their first round opener at 11 a.m. Games will be played at the TM fields by the Flower Gardens. "It should be an exciting tourna ment," he said. "It should work out that each team gets a couple of tough gamesand other games that might not be as tough. Essentially, it will give each - team a chance to play a lot of kids." Thiel thinks conditioning will deter mine the , eventual outcome in many of the games. "Most teams are in the same situa tion we're in, they're not really in shape to run with anybody during the fall," Thiel said. "So they just play a lot of guys for a short period of time. I'll guarantee you one thing, by the time the third game rolls around, everybody's gonna be tired." Midfielder Brian Herzer said the key to the three-game tournament is early containment of the opposition. "Hopefully, we will play enough midfield early in all the games, so we won't be tired out by the end of the Friday Night Special TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE Chunks of tuna and fresh vegetables in a white wine sauce, served over noodles and toppeC , with Parmesan cheese.

Atherton St. (At University Drive) The Daily Collegian Friday Oct. 10, 1980— third game," Herzer said. The Lions must win their first game against Gettysburg in order to ad vance to the championship bracket at 1 p.m., where they will probably face highly-favored Towson State. Thiel said he thinks a victory in the first round is most important. "If we don't beat Gettysburg, then we're kind of defeating our whole pur pose for the tournament," Thiel said. "But it's kind of a dual purpose, we want to play as many kids as possible and get them as much experience as we can." The Lions posted a 6-5 record a year ago, but Thiel said he thinks this team is better, although scoring ace Bill Curran, has graduated. "I think we have enough kids com ing up that will take up the slack," he said. "The one thing that we really don't have that Curran gave us is the quickness and ability to go to the goal and get a good shot when you wanted it. And I think it's gonna take the freshmen and others a little time to develop that ability. "Most of the kids have a great at titude and good enthusiasm to work hard in the fall, and we're doing some things very well. We're probably ahead of where we were in the past at this time of year." Penn State's Dave Pritchard agreed with Thiels's assessment. "In the three years I've played here, I think this year's team is the best one of them all," Pritchard said. "We got some good freshmen and some good transfers this year that can really help." Tri-captain Tim Flanagan said he thinks the fall tournament will be a good indication of things to come this spring. "It wiligive us a chance to see what's in store for the spring," the senior midfielder said. rcez r e2mstro ~._,.ice :E+r~ tx 'c,?t i' ^C`a(~ ei~ la, VISA 7 teams tourney
