Two-faced Lady Lions
hang on for . 7th win
By JEFF SCHULER
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
The women's lacrosse team played Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
yesterday. •
In the first half of their matchup Lock Haven, the Dr. Jekyll
-Lady Lions looked unbeatable, rolling to a 7-1 lead. But in the
second half, Mr. Hyde took over as the Bald Eagles outscored
Penn State 5-3.
Luckily for the Lady Lions, a lacrosse game involves two
halves, and the defending Division I national' champs held on
fora 10-6 win over the defending Division II champs at Lady
Lion Field.
"Obviously, I was not very happy with the second half,"
Penn State coach Gillian Rattray said. "The first half was a
very nice game, but I wish we would have had two good halves.
"I talked to the defense after tile game. It looked like they
weren't hustling. They were cautious, backing off; they weren't
pressuring as much it almost looked as if we fell asleep. It
just means we must work harder at practice (today) for
Maryland."
The problem in the second half yesterday could have been
that the Lady Lions (7-0) were looking ahead to tomorrow's
showdown with Maryland, the team that replaced Penn State at
the top spot of the National Coaches Lacrosse Poll. At least that
was the feeling of Lady Lion Candy Finn.
"I think we took it a little easy (in the second half)," said
Finn. "Maybe our minds started to wander to Thursday. And
you can't blame only the defense; the.offense didn't score too
much in the second half, either."
But Penn State defenseman Patty Sue Ewan disagreed.
"We had a good first half, but I guess we just had a mental
lapse," she said. "We probably looked ahead (to Thursday) the
whole game, but that's not the reason. They didn't have a third
home in the first half, but they did in the second, and we weren't
used to that extra girl coming down the middle like that."
The Bald Eagles' third home was tied up in the first half
trying to guard Finn, and it worked to an extent, as Finn only
scored twice in the opening 25 minutes. She added two more in
the fifth inning of Atlanta's 10.1 win last night in Cincinnati

Speaking at a luncheon announcing
East-West all-star teams that will meet
in a game this summer, Paterno said
Pennsylvania should line up with other
states that have playoffs.
"We stick out like a sore thumb by not
making a commitment to high school
players," Paterno said. "It's unfair and
unjust. . ."
He also said the colleges should stage a
four-team playoff after the bowl games.
He said the revenues should be banked to
create a $5O million to $6O million fund
that could be used to rescue financally
troubled football programs.
Such a plan might have helped Villancr
va University retain its football pro
gram, which the school is dropping this
year after 87 years, Paterno said.
The Nittany Lion coach was the fea
tured speaker at the luncheon announc
ing the Sertoma Keystone Classic, 'a
successor to the Big 33 game, that will be
held Aug. 1 at Hershey Stadium.

Pitching coming around,
Lions set for Mounties
By RON MUSSELMAN
Daily Collegian. Sports Writer
When the baseball team got off to a 2-5
start, Penn State coach Chuck Medlar
didn't appear to be flustered, although
his team was playing baseball as though
it was invented yesterday at Coopers
town.
He wasn't particularly worried be-
cause he knew sooner or later his young
team would get the needed experience to
once again make it a contender.
Medlar's patience may have payed off.
Since those initial seven games, the Li
ons have been on a torrid pace, racking
up five victories in their last seven
games. But more importantly, the pitch
ing staff has seemed to come of age.
"We got four well-pitched games this
past weekend," Medlar said. "We got
four complete games as well. If our
pitching continues to be as effective, then
we'll be in good shape."
With eight games in the next five days,
Medlar's concern, once again, returns to
the pitching staff.
"We've got a lot of tough ones coming
up this week," Medlar said. "We're
going to need some strong performances
from our pitchers."
When the Lions pack_ their bags and
travel to Mansfield for a 1 p.m. double
header today with the Mounties, Medlar
expects Jim Bennett (3-2) and Keith
Lehman (1-1) to be on the mound.
Mansfield, a Division II power, hasn't
been to kind to opposing pitchers as of
late. Mansfield, taking a 10-5 record into

today's twinbill, blasted Bloomsburg and
SUNY-Binghamton hurlers for 57 hits in
one four-game stretch.
The Mounties, like the Lions, have
been on a streak of their own, registering
five victories in their last six encounters.
Mounties assistant coach Tim Kane,
however, said he's not taking the Lions
softly.
"We've heard that they're down a
little," Kane said. "But we expect both
games to be real tough. They've always
had a good hitting team as long as I can
remember."
The Lions' hitting department is one
part of their game that hasn't lulled
Medlar to sleep thus far.
"We've been hitting the ball very well
all season," Medlar said. "We particuar
ly hit it well this past weekend. We
seemed to hit some balls right on the
nose, but they were right at somebody."
Lion shortstop Joe Phillips, who has
become a regular since Medlar's early
season shuffling of players has ended,
doesn't think the team will falter the rest
of the season.
"Our pitching has been really picking
up lately," Phillips said. "The more
playing time we got together and the
more confidence we got in each other has
really helped us play better ball."
Medlar, too, has liked what he's seen
lately from his position on the bench.
"We are at the point right now where
we thought this type of ball club would
be," Medlar said. "We keep improving
as the team gets more experience."
