12—The Daily Collegian Friday, Sept. 11, 1981 Corner hits play key role in stickwomen's 6-1 win : By MARIA MARTINO Daily Collegian Sports Writer • LEWISBURG If the field hockey team has a secret weapon even more potent than the direct hit of Candy Finn, • it's the scoring drive of Candy Finn on a perfectly-executed corner hit. In their regular-season opener yester day, the Lady Lions bombarded Bucknell goalie Betsy Doyle with 20 corner shots and beat the Bisons 6-1 in Lewisburg. Penn State totaled only nine corner hits in the five-game Lady Lion Invitational • last weekend. Finn, who holds all but one of Penn State's scoring records, tallied four of the • goals, while Brenda Stauffer and Tracy Houston both went straight in for the • other two scores. . Only two of Finn's tallies came from the corner hit. Penn State used the play often to pressure the Bisons. Left winger Sharon Tinucci expertly drove the ball from behind the end line into the goal circle, where Stauffer stopped the shot and fed the ball to Finn. : Though she sometimes used her stick to set up the play, Stauffer depended mostly on the handstop, a strategy the offense has concentrated on in both pre • season play and practice. "Last year we got a lot of our goals off the corner shot," she said. "They're :going to outlaw it next year, though, both ;at the national and international levels :because it should really be a sure goal." Many of the Lady Lions' shots should :have been sure goals, but the field condi ; lions prevented that. • "I don't think people realize how vital :the state of the ground is," Penn State :Coach Gillian Rattray said. "We had been playing on the long, wet grass on a :soft field at the invitational, and now suddenly it's short grass and a dry and 41 P eA I4 . ; 14" ‘1°4161 THE CLOCKS Friday, September 11th 9 p.m. Open Every Friday Night Very conduchle to friendliness &mashing vas fee7Y Ifoais 2:00 6ao ••• FR/DAy JUNCTION OF COLLEGE 4 GARNER STATE, COLLEGE . Plerif of Orkin, -Hie STATION-II a mt- ,?-3.111 bumpy field. It took a while to adjust to it. Our reaction time was slow at first. "I really was pleased with the corner shot. The times when we didn't get it was because of the bumps." Stauffer said she preferred to look at the fast, hard field as an advantage for the Lady Lions' attack, adding that Ti nucci's passes came sooner than usual, allowing more time for Finn to fire. "It was really a challenge to get the ball down," Stauffer said. "I had to really concentrate, but I was keying in on it pretty well." Stauffer's job usually involves cover ing the rolling ball with her hand to halt it, but due to the bumps on the field yesterday, she often had to reach waist high to bring the ball down. In fact, such a move led to Finn's second goal, a rising shot that went into the left side of the net. Her second corner hit score, however, followed a slow drive from Tinucci past a slow Bison defense. Finn hit the ankle-high shot with enough velocity to bounce it off a Bison defensive back's stick before scoring. Finn credited the Lady Lions' passing game with the win, explaining that they wanted to get the ball out to the wings before bringing it into the circle. Like wise, RUttray commended her squad's play in the offensive circle and at mid field. "They were distributing the ball well across the field," she said. "We were trying to get that first shot off. We were not trying to shoot through them, but around them. I was quite pleased." Stauffer was also pleased. After consis tently hustling and hitting the post seve ral times with shots, she found the net from about - seven feet out while going across the middle. Lady Lion Brenda Stauffer (reaching for ball) had one goal yesterday and Candy Finn (behind Stauffer in dark jersey) had four in Penn State's 6:1 win over Bucknell at Lewisburg.

Wisconsin Single goal enough for By TOM SAKELL Daily Collegian Sports Writer LEWISBURG Most people who at tend Penn State or live in this Happy Valley are spoiled rotten when it comes to athletics. Because the field hockey team has an exceptional won-loss record, it has been a long time since Penn State fans have seen a 6-1 loss and been happy to score the one, like Bucknell fans were in their loss to the Lady Lions yesterday in Le wisburg. "We were pleased with our efforts," Bison left link Jeanne Minahan said. "They play on a different level. We, of course, are Division 11. We had trouble generating some kind of attack, but we were pleased with our effort." The Lady Lions play on a level just above all their opponents. That is why they were national champions last year, and with the team they have this year, they have a shot at doing it again. But they had to win that first game. "It's a known fact why we schedule Bucknell as our (season) opener," Lady Lion coach Gillian Rattray said. "They play good, clean, open hockey." But Bucknell field hockey is still quite a few levels below Penn State, and the Lady Lions took advantage of that. From the start of the game, the Penn State defensive players were well into Buck nell territory. Sweeper Sue Rickards, the last player between an offensive oppo nent and the goalie, was playing five yards short of the midfield line whenever her teammates had possession of the ball which was virtually the entire first half. "We were relaxed enough to have poise to play the game," Penn State left link Candy Finn said. "We wanted to get the It sounded fantastic in the newspaper. But only to you. Still, you had to see it, and with a little arm-twisting your friends agreed to see it too You've already heard a barrage of jokes about your taste in movies since the curtain came down. And, knowing your friends, it'll go on for weeks. So, to make it up to them,' and show them your taste isn't bad in everything, you do something a little speciarlbnight, let it be Liiwenbrau. is victory Bucknell ball up there and threaten right away." The Lady Lions played aggressive hockey from the start. Finn scored three first-half goals, and Brenda Stauffer had one from seven feet out as the forward line lived in the Bison goal. circle. "We have good stick work," Finn said. "A lot of teams hesitate to go one-on-one with us. They back off until they can get more help." Bucknell's Minahan agreed. "They got a lot of corner hits off us (20) because of our obstruction or our advanc ing," she said. "On offense, we were doing a lot more flicking an air ball over their forward line to our offense just to get some relief for the defense. They have such solid sticks, we couldn't pass on the ground. In fact, we were passing right to them." Bucknell also had problems stopping Penn State's corner hits. Bison goalie Betsy Doyle said she was not intimidated by Finn's drives, but Minahan disagreed. "(Finn) had a bullet," she said. "She cracked my stick on one. When they hit it wide (of the goal), that's a victory for us." Bucknell's finest moment came at 14:23 in the second half when the Bisons' Ann Kennedy passed off to teammate Maria Procopio, who dropped it off into the net. It was only Bucknell's second shot on goal. "It was a clean goal," Rattray said. "It was deflected clear across the circle. (Penn State goalie) Lynn (Mattson) was blocked: She didn't see it or react to it." For a team that had fans who cheered each time the Bisons cleared the ball over the midline, a team that had not scored on Penn State since 1977, the goal was a godsend.

Gerry Faust hasn't coached a game at Notre Dame yet, but he's already being mentioned in the same breath With other Fighting Irish greats. He's not making any predictions about his debut tomorrow against Louisiana State, however, even though the Irish are 14-point favorites. "My biggest worry is that I still don't know how we'll stack up against other teams at this level," Faust said. "I'll feel a lot more comfortable once I see if our players can run and throw and tackle as well as the LSU players. "I feel like we should have a good football team this year, but I'll know a lot more Saturday when I'm on the field and I can see how we measure up." Faust said that LSU has an advan tage because it has a game under its belt, even though it was a 24-7 loss to Alabama.
