14—The Daily Collegian Friday, Nov. 13, 1981 Booters win, bid's closer By JEFF ScHULER Daily Collegian Sports Writer Yesterday's game with Lafayette Was a crucial one for the men's soccer team. Not from the standpoint of winning the game, but from the stand point of losing it. The reason the bids for the Na tional Collegiate Athletic Association soccer tournament haves not yet been announced, and the No. 11 Lions are playing it by ear to see if they will be in the chase for the title. "This game could have had a bad effect on a bid if we had lost," Penn State assistant coach Dave Bartels said after the Lions (15-4-1) stopped the Leopards (10-6-1) in Easton, 4-1. "But there's no question that we should get one now. I'd be shocked if we didn't. Our play against the top teams (Long Island, Connecticut) should get us a bid." But for 67 minutes, it looked like the game just might be a copy of last Tuesday's game with Lehigh, when the Lions went two overtimes before winning 1-0. Freshman Gerry Moyer scored the first goal, turning a pass from Duncan Mac Ewan into his third goal of the year at 17:33. But five minutes later, Lafayette senior Bob Graney scored to tie the game at one. And that's the way it stood for the next 50 minutes. "We had some problems getting started," Bartels said. "They used the two-referee system, and some of the guys got confused. And we played on a bumpy football field (Fisher Field). "We played fairly conservative with a little too much dribbling; the temptation was to go one-on-one. And maybe there was a little bit of a letdown after the UConn and Temple games."' But then, at 67:01, the Lions finally scored again. Pete Jobling did the honors, converting a pass from MacE- . , For YOU this • . - 7±U)): rt,"/PROVe. weekend at The • J 4..ita . .. ,cca.4,o*----0- TODAY: AV .4 [ RED ROSE .

Two and a half minutes later, Jeff Maieithofer scored Penn State's third goal off of a pass from Dan Canter, who got ,the final goal at 84:18 on a penalty shot. "Once we started to click, their defense started to let down," Bartels said. "The farther away they got from the win, the looser they played." Bartels said the Leopards gave Ma c Ewan, who's been plagued by inju ries all year, lots of room to operate at midfield. And in turn, Mac Ewan got more involved in the Lion offense than he has for a long time. "He's still hobbling, and he got knocked a couple of times," Bartels said. "But he holds together the mid field when he's in there. They gave him a lot of room to work with, and he took advantage of it." NCAA soccer playoff scenario Should the Lions receive their 12th straight bid to the NCAA soccer tournament, they could be in action as early as next week. But it is still uncertain if Jeffrey Field will be the site of a tournament game. An NCAA spokesman said that 20 teams will be involved in the tourna ment two from each of the NCAA's eight regions and four at large selections, with no more than two at-large teams from the same region. First-round games involving the at-large teams must be com pleted by Wednesday, Nov. 13. Second round games must be played by Nov. 22; third round games by Nov. 29. The Final Four will be hosted by Stanford, Dec. 5-6. Hosts for the games throughout the first three rounds will be based on the top seeds in the region, pro vided the team's facilities meet ,NCAA standards for championship Happily, not all beers „.„„. . are created equal. Now the Lions sit tight until Sunday, when the bids are scheduled to be announced. And they're hoping they'll be tourney-bound for the 12th straight year. And as Penn State coach Walt Bahr said: "I don't think that we're better than teams like .Connecticut and Long Is land but I think we're as good as them." CORNER KICKS: Lafayette statis ticians had the Lions down for only seven (that's 7) shots on goal, and Bartels said the figure was "close. We didn't have too many strikes."...Lion Doug Moyer lost his state record for goals in a season when Doug Ault of Washington Trinity High scored 63 in 24 games this year. Moyer scored 58 for Fleetwood in 1978...5ti1l no word on when or even if the Bucknell game will be rescheduled. play (admission capabilities, field size, locker room facilities, etc.). Third-ranked Philadelphia Tex tile, which beat UConn 4-3 Sunday to run its record to 15-1-1, figures to be the top-seed in the Mid-Atlantic re gion, which includes Pennsylvania, New Jersey; and Deleware. If the Lions get the remaining regional berth, and if an at-large team is selected from the region, Jeffrey Field could be the site of a first round game early next week. But if Penn State and Textile are the only selections from the region, the Lions would travel to Philadel phia sometime next week for the second round game. The winner of that game will then host the Great Lakes champ, which at this time looks to be top-ranked Indiana. The winner of that game would advance to the Final Four.

STATE COLLEGE 234-2153 Field hockey team happy for 2nd chance at AIAWs By MARIA MARTINO • Daily Collegian Sports Writer , The field hockey team has been on an emotional rollercoaster this past week. From the disappointment of being eliminated by Delaware in the first round of regionals to the relief of beating Princeton in double overtime in the consolation game; from anticipating receiving the at-large bid to go to nationals to.being passed over in favor of Delaware; to winning an appeal and the bid after all the Lady Lions have experienced it all. So when they go to the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women national championships in Berkeley, Calif., next week, the defending national champions are determined to win. "I think after all we've been through, there's not much that can stop us," freshman wing Lindsay Sheehan said. "We spent a lot of time thinking, waiting for the phone call (about the bid). We kept saying, 'Boy, if we get to go, we're gonna do it right.' "If we win three more games• that'll be coach (Gillian) Rattray's 100th victory. And we want to come home with the three victories and the national championship." But to do so, Penn State will have to defeat Dartmouth in the first round at 11 a.m. on Thursday. Ironically, when the Lady Lions finally received the bid, they were seeded second, behind Eastern regional champion Temple. Penn State's 16-2-1 record is the best in the tournament. "If you look at (Dartmouth's) record exclusively (8-6-1), you say 'Wow, this will be a walkover,' " Rattray said. "But you have to remember they're an Ivy League team and Ivies are tough. We barely beat Princeton in double ovettime. "On paper, we should beat them, but on paper we should have beaten Delaware. You can't discount any team that made it to the nationals." Dartmobth impressively beat Harvard 2-0 and narrowly lost to Massachusetts, the No. 1 team in the nation, in the regular season. "UMass belongs to the NCAA, unfortunately," , assistant coach Susan McCoy said. "We'd love to play them. Temple will play Berkeley, also not a pushover, first. They played us in the finals last year. "We'll play on Astroturf and that's always an advantage for them because they've played on it all year. You have no excuses on 'turf. There's no grass for the ball to bounce off of. You have to concentrate a lot more and stay a lot closer to the ground." Astroturf will be one complication for the Lady Lions, but they've been practicing on it for two weeks to prepare for 11E101 Chaise ab eltamplinti mouthpieces 4 handwraps bag gloves swivels regionals and now for nationals. Rattray said they have been concentrating on support drills, such as threes, overlaps and scissors, because the players weren't providing the options for the ball carrier. "We've been working on threes and the give-and-gos because our 'turf game isn't as good as our grass game," co-captain Sue Rickards said. "But it's getting. better every day. "We're ready to work hard. We're going to prove that we belong there " The loss to Delaware and their attempts to win the bid have intensified the Lady Lions' desire to regain their title. "It's a real honor to go," goalie Vilma Cicchinelli said. "I'm really psyched. I make no excuses for Delaware. It was just a bad game. But when we got the bid, that really got our spirits up. _ _ _ "The shots come at you a lot faster on 'turf and the passes are much sharper., I have to be a second quicker, just a little bit sharper. But it'll definitely take a team effort to win." The Lady Lions are stong on teamwork and their tremendous depth has carried them this far. At nationals last year, substitutions figured heavily in their wins. This season, senior Jan. Snyder spent most of the season recuperating from a second knee operation and split time with Sheehan at right wing. Snyder reinjured her knee Wore regionals and will have to watch from the sidelines at nationals. "That's really tough because she's a four-year starter," Rattray said. "She helped us when we needed her. She added that spark, that experience. "But Lindsay has played excellently and Barb Jordan played wing some against Princeton. We have such depth. No matter what 11 players are on the field, they all have confidence in the rest of the team. We just have a great team." Penn State is even blessed with two excellent goalies in Cicchinelli and Lynn Mattson, as well as the difficult task of choosing between them. "Maybe if we could put them both in the nets, side by side, we'd really be unbeatable," Rattray joked. But the Lady Lions don't seem to need that. As Sheehan said, "It really hasn't hit me yet, but after that ordeal last weekend, I can't think of anything that can stop us now." This time the Lady Lions are climbing to the top and they have no intentions of coming down. SIDELINES: Dick Schapp of ABC-TV is preparing a feature on captain and senior midfielder Candy Finn. A crew will also coverthe Lady Lions' all-time top scorer at nationals. ABC expects to air the segment.

Alabama has three that have seen playing time and constitute a balanced triple threat; even though their passing statistics aren't that impressve. The starter has been Alan Gray (10-of-17 for 166 yards and two touchdowns), and he's backed up by Coley and Walter Lewis (21-of-46 for 412 yards). "Each of them do something better than the other," Opfar said. "One throws well, one runs well and the other one does a little bit of both, I guess. "They can pass it. Really, they haven't had to. They've been so strong running, and they've been ahead (of their oppo nents) a lot. They haven't been forced to pass that much." • Paterno also said the three do every thing well and it's hard to tell why Bryant substitutes one for another. "Unless you're with a kid in practice every day," Paterno said, "it's tough to tell what one talent he has is a little better than the other two have for a particular situation.

This is their first regular-season meet ing, but the schools have met three times in bowl games. Rip Engle's Penn State team defeated Alabama and Bear Bry ant 7-0 in the first Liberty Bowl in 1959 when that contest was held in Philadel phia.
