18—The Daily Collegian Friday, Nov. 13, 1981 Lady Lion spikers aiming for NCAAs By PETE WALDRON Daily Collegan Sports Writer In just 18 long days the women's volleyball team (42-3) will receive either a 'yea' or a 'nay' from the NCAA. In just 18 long days the Lady Lions will know whether or not to book plane reservations to California. And in just 18 long days, on Dec. 1, coach Russ Rose will find out if his season's goal a bid to the first NCAA women's volleyball championships, Dec. 4-6 will be attained. But first, before talking •about postseason action, the Lady Lions will have to battle 14th-ranked Northwestern on Dec. 28- 29, in a double-dual match, at Evanston, 111. "There is no doubt we will receive a bid," Rose said. "I think the committee will look at our record and the fact that we won six out of seven tournaments. I know out of all the top 20 teams we have the weakest schedule but we are winning. "I don't think the Northwestern game will determine whether or not we receive a bid. It will, however, have an effect on the placement in the (Mideast) region." Setter and back row specialist Karen Connolly agreed. "The Nortwestern game will decide which team will be one or two in the region," Connolly said. "But, because we have been playing well and our ranking is high, our chances look good in getting a bid." Penn State, ranked ninth last week, dropped to 11th this week. Brigham Young, which moved from 11th to fourth, and Arizona, which moved up 10 places to 10th, nudging the Lady Lions out of their first top 10 ranking. Rose, a member of the NCAA ranking committee, voted the Lady Lions 12th. "When I heard how some other teams in the West did over the weekend, I put them ahead of us," he said. "There is no doubt that the Southwest and California are the best regions." But freshman middle hitter Lori Barberich said the Lady Lions have still played hard despite Some of the soft spots in their schedule. "Right now, we are first in our region," she said, "and we earned it. It would be nice if we could maintain that level." _ . The two-week period before Northwestern will be a good time for the team to pull itself together physically and mentally. "We are tapering our practice," Rose said. "There, is no reason to.go crazy with our practice now. Now is the time to study for exams and get healthy they are better volleyball players if they are better students. "Most of the formation is done. We just have to regain our momentum and work on the task at hand." Congratulations to ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA on 80 years of sisterhood!

The NCAA District 2 Qualifiers are only academic. There isno doubt that Penn State will earn its fourth consecutive trip to the national championships by placing in the top four at districts tomorrow morning at Bethlehem, Pa. On paper, that is. Nevertheless, mistakes have been made on paper. The Titanic was declared unsinkable; Dewey was declared the President of the United States; the Michigan Wolverines were declared the No.l football team in the country... In other words, a trip to nationals is no sure thing for the eighth-ranked Lions, at least not in the eyes of Penn State coach Harry Groves. "It's dumb to make any predictions about the results of something like this, because anything can happen," Groves said.. While Groves is hesitant to make any declarations of victory, he did say he thought this year's team may be stronger than two of his previous three teams which won district qualifiers (he did not include last year's squad, which finished third in the country, in the comparison). He added, however, that although his team may be stronger this year, the district has also gotten stronger, and consequently, making it to nationals may be a little more difficult this time around. "Before, the only team we really had to worry about was Villanova," Groves said. "Now, we have Princeton and Bucknell to contend with." . The Lions have gone up against Bucknell once this season in the IC4A championships two weeks ago and came out on top, scoring 96 points to Bucknell's 100. The performance was good enough to give the Lions second place in the meet. Providence took first place with ease (35 points) but they are not in District 2, which is good news for Penn State and other District 2 teams. competing tomorrow. Princeton, however, is a District 2 team a team which the Lions have not faced this season and a team Groves doesn't know a whole lot about. "They won the Heptagonal Championship (three days before the IC4As), which is basically made up of teams from the Ivy League, as well as Army and Navy," Groves said. "Judging from what I've read about them, they are a Membership valid from Dec. 1, 1981 to Apr. 15, 1982 ANIS • •• •e•• • • e $ 3 DISCOUNT ••••• • • • • • COUPON • • • YES, I want to take advantage of the 2-for-1 dining and • entertainment speicals available to me as .a member of • the.

Other than Bucknell and Princeton, however, there are very few teams that appear capable of preventing Penn State from at least placing in the top four. It is possible that teams like Georgetown, fourth at IC4As, and Villanova, which finished seventh, could place ahead of the Lions, but don't bet the mortgage on that possibility. Needless to say, the Penn State runners are not without confidence going into this meet. Most of the Lions seem to believe they will be in Wichita, Kansas, for the national championships on Nov. 23. "There really shouldn't be anything to stop us," said All- American Alan Scharsu about the chances of the team going to nationais. "We have as good a chance as any body." Scharsu, the top American finisher at nationals last season and one of the favorites to take, first-place honors tomorrow, said that if the Lions get to nationals, they could• place as high as third or fourth. "A lot of teams choke once they get there; we usually don't," Scharsu said. "Our guys have had a lot of experi ence at nationals. Most of our guys have been there before. It should be an advantage. Sophomore Dwight Steplieris, Penn State's No. 2 man, said the team has a very realistic shot of winning tomor row and placing in the top five at Wichita. Junior Jeff Adkins agreed with Stephens about the probability of taking first place this weekend, and express ed high hopes of getting out of his running slump. "I feel like it's about time," said Adkins, who is coming off sub-par performances at the Central Collegiate Championships and the IC4As. "I'm hoping I'll be able to do something, but you can't really tell 'til you get out there." Assuming the Lions are able to do something tomorrow (i.e., place in the top four at qualifiers), what then? Adkins said he believed the team could place as high as second at nationals ("There is no way we could beat Texas El-Paso."), while junior Barry Enright said the team was capable of finishing in the top three. And junior Gary Black summed up the general attitude of the team, when he said, "We'd have to fall apart not to make it to nationals." It's that time again These gentlemen are just three of the masses of students who will give up booze for books this weekend in preparation for, yes ... finals week. , }:,-• fir" 1 '. ~ ~,,- .. le . :' ) 'F Y S~.
