the daily collegian Laxers hope to shell Lady Terps Editor's Note: This is the second of a two-part series previewing the 1981 Asso ciation for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women national lacrosse championships. By LAURIE JACOBS Daily Collegian Sports Writer This year's AIAW National Lacrosse Championships has all the makings of a Civil War battle, especially the initial Division I quarterfinal round, where North (Penn State) takes on the South (Maryland) at 9:30 this morning on Jef frey Field. The Lady Lions are the top seed and the tourney favorite and will take a 11-1 record and the Mid-Atlantic title into the game. Penn State won last year's national itle in a tournament sponsored by the United States Women's Lacrosse Asso ciation. The Lady Lions won a defensive struggle with Maryland 3-1 for the title. Maryland (9-3) is the eighth seed in this year's tournament. The Lady Terps were 8-0 and atop the polls before losing to Penn State 15-10 on April 23. They were ranked second in the national coaches' poll before loSing to Ursinus 6-3 and Temple 7-2 in the Mid-Atlantic championships. The Lady Terps have twice been the national runner-up (1978 and 1980) to Penn State. The Penn State-Maryland series in cludes a 7-6 Terp victory over the Lady Lions a year ago in College Park, Md., which ended a Penn State unbeaten streak which included 38 games without a defeat. The two teams set a tournament record for fewest goals scored in a tour nament game when Penn State won last year's national final, 3-1. Forget about the battle; this game has all the makings of a war. It'll be tough to determine who will win this war the soldiers have pretty good credentials. Four of them are among the Division I scoring leaders, and it works out rather evenly. There are two from the North and two from the South. Penn State junior Candy Finn, a Pen ncrest High graduate who has been dubbed the Lady Lions' "scoring ma chine," leads Division I in goals and points and is tied with Maryland's Sandy Lanahan for 10th place in the assists category. She has 63 goals and 13 assists in 12 games (a 5.2 goal average, 1.0 assists average and a 6.3 point average). She is also Penn State's scoring leader with a school record 179 career goals. Senior Lady. Lion Lynne Thompson, a fellow Penncrest graduate, is ranked fifth on Penn State's all-time scoring list with 74 goals. She shares a three-way tie at fourth place for assists with Margie Anderson (UMass) and Franseca Den- Hartog ( Harvard), having tallied 17 as sists in 11 games for a 1.2 per game average. She also shares ninth place on the Division I points list with Temple's Kathie Daley. She has 43 points, a 3.9 per game average. Thompson was injured late in the sea son when she was hit by a crosse on a shot follow-through. But she said she is confident that the injury will not hinder her performance in the nationals. "The injury should have no affect on my play," shesaid. "I'm lucky it could have been a lot worse." Maryland will be without Dougherty, who is sidelined with a fractured thumb. She is Maryland's all-time scoring leader and seventh in Division I scoring with 34 goals in 11 games and a 3.0 per game average. She is leads in assists with 29, a 2.6 average, and is third in points with 63, a 5.7 average. Penn State coach Gillian Rattray said she felt Dougherty's injury was unfortu- p. '. %k il Los Angeles Dodger pitching sensation Fernando Valenzuela may clown around between starts, the mound, posting a 7-0 record with a 0.29 earned run average. Valenzuela will attempt to tie consecutive victories at the opening of a season tonight against the Montreal Expos. S • nate, but added that Maryland should more than compensate for her absence. "I was very sorry to hear about her," Rattray said. "It's a tough way to go out. But I think they've adjusted the lineup pretty well. They did well in the Southern districts, and with Sandy Lanahan and Sally Schofield, they've got a lot of scor ing power there and a lot of spirit. They'll be working doubly hard to make up for Judy." As Rattray said, Penn State's scoring threat from Maryland will be Lanahan, a senior. This soldier leads Maryland in goals scored with 44. She is third in Division I scoring with 44 goals in 12 games, a 3.6 average. She is seventh in scoring with 57 points - , a 4.7 average. There are also several other key fac tors in this war for the national title. Number one, playing such a highly regarded team as Maryland so early in the tournament should set the tone for the Lady Lions the remainder of the tourney. 'I think we're prepared for a whole tournament, and I don't like to say this, but we're thinking about all three games, not just today's.' "We have to be mentally alert and that is going to make it a tough first round, Rattray said. "It is amazing that if we were not hosting the tournament, - Maryland wouldn't even be in it." (Maryland was awarded the eighth berth, which normally goes to . the host school. perm State qualified on its own merits as the No.l team in the country.) "Maryland had a rough time in the Mid-Atlantic tournament," Rattray said. "Now they really have nothing to lose. When they played us during this season, they came in real high, but then they lost both games in the regionals. But I think they picked up the pieces and are ready to go." Finn agreed with Rattray, and ex pressed worry that the Lady Lions might not take the tournament one game at p time. "I'm afraid they're really up for us," she said. "They have nothing to lose. We have to be mentally alert, and forget everything but today's game.

Lady Lion Sandy Ticknor agreed that playing Maryland first in the tournament will be a challenge mentally, but both also said that there are advantages to this. "I think it is good to start off the tournament with Maryland," Ticknor said. "We have to keep .up for every game in the tournament and starting off with Maryland will help us to do that. We've had really good practices lately and we're really psyched about playing them. "We can't go into this game noncha lant; we're going to have to play a good game during all three games. If we go in with a positive attitude and are psyched, we'll play a good game and will be able to keep the momentum going throughout nationals." Penn State is hosting the AIAW tourna ment for the first time this year. Rattray said this could be both an advantage. And a disadvantage, because there is a cer- Island (9-4-0) will check crosses with the second-seeded Lady Bears of Ursinus (14-3-0) at 4 this afternoon in the last Division I quarterfinal.

Finn said there is a definite advantage to playing the tournament on home turf. "I think it's going to be much better," she said. "We have a good home crowd, and they stay with, us in: everything; we• do. They don't boo at all. They build us up and that gives us the confidence we need so we can really play our game." Rattray said the 9:30 a.m. game time today is not the best for playing lacrosse especially such an important game. "The hour of the day is not ideal," she said. "This is a team sport which is fast and you have to think quickly on your feet. You are constantly making quick judgements and to have to do that that early in the morning is tough." Rattray said the Lady Lion strategy for today's game will include trying to contain the Lady Terps at midfield as well as concentration on penetrating their zone defense. "I'm quite sure they will play a zone against us," Rattray said, "because with our man-to-man we beat them. They'll Ripley, Giants SAN FRANCISCO (AP) The San Francisco Giants backed up a sick pitcher, Allen Ripley, with a sound defense and beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-2 yesterday. "I felt terrible," Ripley said. "I had a bad ear ache last night and only got about an hour of sleep. But I wanted to pitch even though I knew I wouldn't have good rhythm. "I was getting the breaks. We put the leather to them," the pitcher added, referring to the Giants' four double plays, three of them started by shortstop Johnnie LeMaster. The first three double plays helped Ripley, 3-3, who gave up 11 hits in 7 1-3 innings. The last came in the eighth with reliever Greg Minton pitching. New infield dirt, which players on both teams labeled as too soft, may have contributed to the double plays by slowing down base runners. "It's like quicksand. If the field stays this way the Giants should lead the league in double plays," said the Phillies' Pete Rose, who singled in the seventh inning for the 3,6015 t hit of his career and passed Hank Aaron for second place on the National League's all-time hit list. Don Sutton gained his first shutout in a Houston uniform with a five-hitter and Art Howe slugged his third home run of the season to lead the Astros past the St. Louis Cardinals last night at the Astrodome. Sutton, obtained by the Astros as a free agent befor,e the season, raised his record to 3-4, striking out four and walking one. The former Los Angeles Dodger retired 12 consecutive batters over one stretch en route to his first complete game for Houston. George Foster drove in three runs with a homer and a sacrifice fly and Tom Seaver hurled a five-hitter last night in Cincinnati as the Reds pounded the Chicago Cubs. Foster slugged a two-run homer, his seventh of the year, off starter Mike Krukow, 1-3, as the Reds unleashed a 15-hit assault on five Chicago pitchers. Seaver, 4-1, gained his 249th career victory and 'moved Astros 3, Cardinals 0 Reds 8, Cubs 3 use the zone to try and slow us down and make it more difficult for shooting." - Thompson said that from the looks of recent practices, the outlook is good for the Lady Lions today. "Practices have been really top-notch, she' 'said. 'willing` to' Wei* hard; 'our minds 'arc:- realLy'on'theTgame. We know nationals this year will be tougher than past years. We piaeticed on Jeffrey Field yesterday and it's a little different, but we should be able to adjust." Enough to be confident? "You'd better 'believe it," Rattray said. "They're going to have to work awfully hard to beat us we're not giving up anything easily." STICKLERS: Tickets for the AIAW tournament are $2.00 daily for adults and $l.OO daily for students.

The 41-year-old Yastrzemski, whose- batting average has been under .200 all season, just cleared the wall in the right field corner with his 420th career homer after Jerry Remy ands Dwight Evans singled with one out off Twins starter Fernando Arroyo, 2-2.

He had a career-high nine strikeouts and walked two while allowing just one runner to reach third base.

Five runs came in, three on a Mike Dusinberre double, and Penn State' ) I couldn't come back. "The first game we were really flat," Medlar said. "We were flat as the devil." Flat wasn't ' the word the players wanted to associate with their last game of the season though. They weren't excited about the possi bility of dropping a double-header to Gettysburg either. Since 1895, when the series began, Penn State had won 47 games and lost only 12 to Gettysburg. • 4 The odds against a double-header sweep were higher than those against Pickett's Charge. • • So, in that second game, the Lions came back behind Dave Spamer and won, 7-0. "I said it before," Medlar said. "These i guys did a fine job of coming back all season since we put it together after the Rutgers' game." Neither Spamer or Keith Lehman al lowed 'any Gettysburg runs to come in that second game. At bat, it was the seniors who knocked'? in most of the Penn State runs. Gallagher and Terry Brush, both play ing their last game, each got two hits and as many RBIs. Second baseman Bob D'Ambrosio, a senior with another year of eligibility left, also picked up two hits. Brush and Todd Hostetler both doubled for the Lions, who scored three in the first inning, one in the second and anoth er three in the fifth. The win left Medlar, known as "Stud'? to the players for many years, with a career total of 312, achieved during 19 years as head coach. But Medlar had been assistant coach , for 14 years before that. Yesterday's game was the last in a 33-year career. "I can imagine how Stud feels after ' that long," Gallagher said.

Part of that loss of concentration could have worked its way into the team during its week' layoff since its victory over Michigan ,two weeks ago. "Our level' of intensity at practice wasn't high," co-captain Carole Zajac said. "We were ready to go last week, but we didn't hold that level of intensity." Anne Beasley, who lost 7-6, 6-0 to Kate Rungen in sipgles competition said the team should have used the extra time to tune up and prepare for the tournament. "Preparation was it all," Beasley said. "I believe , there are ways of setting yourself up to win and ways of setting run away with championship Celtics breezing to a 109-80 decision the first time in this series that either team has scored 100 points or more. "The way we played, very few teams in the league could beat us," said Celtics forward Cedric Maxwell, who made 10 of 13 shots in scoring 28 points, a playoff career high, and grabbed 15 rebounds. The Celtics also won big in Game 3, but their 94-71 victory was followed by a 91-86 Houston triumph on Sunday. After that game, Houston center Moses Malone was widely quoted as saying that the Celtics were "not that good" and that he "could get four guys off the streets of Petersburg (his hometown in Virginia) and beat them." That didn't sit well with the Celtics, each of whom was given a copy of Malone's comments at a team practice. "They were aware of the comments, we made sure of Hills® Brand Quality Painting Accessories Selection. yourself up to fail. I don't think people set themselves up. "Perhaps we didn't put out as much as we could have in practice. ,What you practice is what you play." The team's injury problems showed their effects during the match. Sue Whiteside was continually hampered during her 6-2, 6-3 loss to Shie Van Melt er. Whiteside was playing with a heavily taped right ankle which she reinjured at practice on Monday. "I wasn't getting in position to hit the ball right," Whiteside said. "I was very tentative. I wasn't sure what I could do on my ankle, it was hard to cover the entire singles court." Penn State's only wins yesterday came Lab-tested quality. from their top two singles players Carol Daniels and Cherie Dow and its second doubles team of Whiteside—Dow. Dow was the only Lady Lion to down her opponent in two straight sets, beating Pam Banholzer 6-2, 6-3. "Syracuse is a tough, aggressive, tena cious and well-coached team," Royer said. "They are going to want to prove they can beat us twice, and we don't want them to beat us again." The Lady Lions will play Syracuse at 9 a.m. today in the second round of action. Syracuse beat Rutgers 6-3 yesterday and also lost to Yale 6-3. The Lady Lions have been looking forward to a rematch since losing to Syracuse in the fall. that," said Celtics coach Bill Fitch "But you can't just disagree with someone. You've got to go out and prove him wrong." Which is just what the Celtics did, at least for one game. "We were upset after the loss in Houston," said Maxwell. "We were embarrassed. There was a lot of name-calling by them. The guys on this team have a lot of pride and when somebody embarrasses us and says we don't have heart or character, well, that spurs you on." Malone, however, remained undaunted "I stand by what I said," he said. "I still think they're not that good. From my standpoint, Philly is the best team in the league. "The only reason Boston got here is because Phila delphia couldn't hold a 3-1 lead (in the Eastern Confer ence finals)." Islanders, Stars ready for Game 2 UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) The New York Islanders got off to a rousing start in the Stanley Cup final series. The Minnesota North Stars never got going. As the teams worked out in prepa ration for tonight's second game of the best-of-seven series, the defend ing champions, the Islanders, wanted to keep fresh in their mem ories their performances in Game 1, a 6-3 victory Tuesday night. The North Stars would just as soon forget the game. "We were off our game and we're going to have to pick up our tempo," said North Stars coach Glen Son mor. "The Islanders are the best tear in hockey and they showed that to us. The Islanders' penalty killing unit was devastating in the first game, Tri-Chi takes independent title The finals of the independent intramu ral softball league turned into a long ball hitting contest last night as Tri-Chi out slugged Rubber House, 8-5. The Tri-Chi independent team has played together for four years, but it has never reached the finals until this sea son. Maybe it was the hitting heroics of the Farrah brothers that got them this far. Scott and Doug Farrah, playing center and left field respectively, each smacked home runs that cleared Curtain Road near Beaver Stadium. Teammate Kevin Bergason added a home run and a triple. Rubber House's Wally Choice also had a round-tripper. Savings.

"Their penalty killing makes them as big a threat as we are on the power play," Maxwell said. "But we're not sitting here pouting. We learned a lesson and now we know what we have to go out and do." They have to go out and exhibit the kind of hockey that brought them to their first Cup final after finishing ninth in the regular-season stand ings.
