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-

wan into what turned out to be the
winning goal. 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

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.

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

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.

Tide overflows at quarterback
Continued from Page 13
The Tide has also been playing revolv
ing quarterbacks of sorts. 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.
"(Bryant) substitutes them, and then
you're thinking he substitutes him be-

If past Penn State-Alabama games are
any indication, there won't be much
scoring when the fifth-ranked Nittany
Lions and the sixth-rated Crimson Tide
tangle tomorrow.
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

when that contest was held in Philadel
