Daily Collegian Sports Writer
With all due respect to Philadelphia
fans, the Phillies aren’t the only ones
who can be called “the comeback kids.”
To the delight of a Rec Hall crowd
easily three times as large as any
assembled for a game thus far this year,
the women’s volleyball team rallied
from a 2-1 game deficit last night to gain
its second victory of the year against
defending regional champion Pitt
sburgh.
In fact, late in the fourth game, the
Lady Lions were only four points from
losing the match. But with the crowd’s
help, Penn State made a determined
comeback and notched its 26th victory of
the season, 14-16,15-12,9-15,15-11 and 15-
9.
“I never thought we weren’t gonna
win,” Penn State coach Russejl Rose
said. “Even when it got close at the end
of the match, I knew we wouldn’t lose.
Obviously the Penn State players felt
the same way.
“It was just a determination not to
lose,” junior Ellen Crandall said. "The
desire was there.”
“We just hung in there when we had to
and came back,” sophomore Mary
Susinskas said.
Winning the match was no easy task.
The Lady Lions had their hands full all
night trying to control the one-two punch
of Lady Panther hitters Linda Stadler
and Paula Olsen. But in the end, it was
the offensive punch of Pfenn State juniors
Jan Mosier and Lisa White that keyed
the Lady Lions’ victory.
“They beat us at things we hadn’t
prepared for,” Pitt coach Shelton Collier
said. “Mosier had a good match she
was pretty effective. The key was her
success hitting the ball.”
Rose, too, thought Mosier and White
played well.
“(Mosier) was our leading hitter
tonight,” Rose said. “She had a real
good offensive match.
“And Lisa White hit the ball well. In
fact, that’s the best hitting she’s done all
year.”
