10—The Daily Collegian Monday, Dec. 15 1980 Tompkins paces swimwornen By STEVE GRAHAM Daily Collegian Sports Writer It was one of those contests that was supposed to be close. Both sides had the talent to make it an exciting, classic con frontation. But when it was over, it all boiled down to which squad had the most depth as the women's swimming team trounced Villanova, 94-46, Saturday at McCoy Natatorium. Even before the meet began, it ap peared the Wildcats would give the Lady Lions fits with a lineup featuring Jenny Franks, Rita Edge and freshman sensa tion Beth Metzger. But the Lady Lions proved to be prepared for the challenge as they left the opposition far behind in several events. "I had anticipated from the times I had last year that Edge and (Penn State's Megan) Tompkins would go head-to-head in the (100-yard) freestyle and it would anybody's race," Penn Slate coach Ellen Perry said. As it turned 'out, the race belonged solely to Tompkins as she swam to a new school mark with a time of 53.01, besting Edge by more than two seconds. And her heroics for the day did not end there. She also swam the 50-yard freestyle in 25.09 Tonight MONDAY NIT] FOOTBALL on giant 6-footscreen!!

Perry projected that Villanova would keep the score reasonably close in this meet, which was shortened to include primarily sprinting events. But she said she didn't expect the lopsided score, and Tompkins agreed. "We had figured that it would be a lot closer than that," Tompkins said.

Bowling teams easily beat Owls By TONY SMITH Daily Collegian Sports Writer The men's and women's bowling teams apparently don't like close matches. Against an opponent that was supposed to provide plenty of trouble, the Lions (9-0) and Lady Lions (8-0) had an easy time of it Saturday when they defeated the Temple Owls at Rec Hall by margins of 16-3 and 15-4, respectively. Coach Don Ferrell was smiling from ear to ear as he praised the performance of his teams. "The men seem to get the job done whenever the situation arises," Ferrell said. "They've showed more confidence and togetherness. They bowled really well as a team. "(The women) have the makings of a very, very competitive women's collegiate team. They have shown the ability to rise to the occasion, and they have faith in one another." The Lady Lions certainly displayed an ability to bowl well under pressure. They led Temple after the first game, 6-0, but the Owls put on a strong performance in the second game, tightening the match. Unfortunately for the Owls, two of the Lady Lion bowlers "struck out." In baseball, striking out is bad news. Ask Mighty Casey. In bowling, however, striking out is quite desirable. Just ask April Long and Michele Citro. Those two Lady Lion bowlers were in the unenviable position Christmas At the Nittany Mall And You... lust right for each other. And just right for all your holiday gift ideas.

Right? Wrong. Both bowlers knocked down all 10 pins three straight times and gave new meaning to the phrase "coming through in the clutch." "They had to strike out just to tie, and they did," Ferrell said. "As for Temple, it really took the wind out of their sails. We beat them psychologically and physically. "It was exciting; we were able to pull it through," Citro said. "Things worked out well, although I shouldn't have got in that position in the first place." The men's team also had a strong showing, winning all three games by 5-1 margins. Bowler Lennie Leon explained why he was pleased with the performance. "We came and took five points in the first game," Leon said. "Sometimes a team will let down after getting a big lead, but we didn't. We took five points in the second game. "But even though we had clinched it in the second game, we still didn't let down. Temple was starting to roll well in the third game, but we rose to the occasion, just out of sheer competitiveness." During one stretch in the third game, the Lion bowlers managed to put together eight consecutive strikes. Pretty good, considering that they had already clinched the victory
