Despite the Lions' 71-42 loss to West Virginia in their season opener yesterday at the McCoy Natatorium,
breaststroker Dave Mastrantuono (above) and the men's swim team found much promise for the season ahead.
Mountaineers sink Lions

Although the men's swimming team
was overwhelmed by a superior West
Virginia team 71-42 last night at the
McCoy Natatorium, a few good things
did come out of its season opener.
• First of all, in the second event of the
evening sophomore Rick Kennedy broke
his own Penn State record set last year in
the 1000-yard freestyle. Kennedy cut the
record down almost a second from 9:51.3
to 9:50.71.
Although Kennedy did break the re
cord, he finished third in the event to two
strong West Virginia swimmers.
"He is really fantastic," said coach
Lou Mac Neill in praising the sophomore.
"To break a record in his first meet of the
season is super. He is really a gutsy kid."
Kennedy said he even expected to do
better.
"I wanted to do a 9:48, but I was pretty
happy with the swim," Kennedy said. "I
like the 1000-yard freestyle, but I like the
1650-yard freestyle more, but it is usually
only swam in championship meets."
As for the team this season, Kennedy
did express some regrets about the seven

academic restrictions.
"It's a little depressing because we
could be so much better than we were
tonight," Kennedy said. "It's OK to get
beat in the pool if you swim well, but we
have been beaten out of the pool."
Another bright spot in the Nittany
Lions' performance last night was the
diving of sophomores Dale Dmitrzak and
Mike Cecatiello. Dmitrzak won the one
meter competition and Cecatiello cap
tured the three-meter dive, where Dmitr
zak finished , second.
Both Dmitrzak and Cecatiello, who
happen, to be roommates, said they were
pleased with their performances.
"I think we did pretty well for our first
meet," Dmitrzak said. "West Virginia is
an Eastern power and they have had
some meets already, which put some
pressure on us."
The success of the two divers, accord
ing to Dmitrzak, has come through work
ing with each other.
"We couldn't dive if we didn't work
together," Dmitrzak said. "We help and
motivate each other."

Penn State was the experience gained by
the 14 freshmen (on a team of 19 swim
mers), who were swimming in their first
meet.
"There were really no surprises,"
Mac Neil said. "Everyone more or less
did what we expected. We're in good
shape and I think we are going to come
through."
Kennedy said he remembers what it
was like swimming in his first meet last
year.
"A lot of the freshmen were scared, but
once you can overcome the jitters, the
adrenalin begins to flow," Kennedy said.
"The freshmen swam really well this
evening."
Mac Neill said he hopes some of the
bright spots will again shine this week
end at the Penn State Relays at 1 p.m.
today and 9 a.m. tomorrow in the McCoy
Natatorium.There will be seven schools
competing.
However, Mac Neill is not too opti
mistic about the weekend.
"We will probably finish last because
we are outmatched, but we will do the
best we can," the coach said.

The big push:
By SHARON FINK
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
It's not exactly Murders' Row, but for the men's
basketball team, the next seven games on its schedule
resemble it closely enough.
The names of the teams look rather harmless in black
and white print. But starting at 7:35 tomorrow night
against North Carolina-Charlotte (1-0) at the Charlotte
Coliseum, the Lions (3-0) will be on the road for six of
those games, three of them against possibly the tough
est teams they'll face all year.
After Penn State returns from Charlotte, it goes to
Hersheypark Arena on Tuesday to play Lafayette. Then
next Friday and Saturday the Lions will be in Blooming
ton, Ind., for their first quality test of the year, the
Indiana Classic.
At the Indiania Classic, they'll meet Southern Method-
ist in the first round and, if they get by the Mustangs,
face a possible championship game matchup with the
defending national champion and Top 20-ranked Hoo
siers. •
A week later, Penn State is in Birmingham, Ala., to go
against Alabama, ranked 20th in The Associated Press
preseason poll. Then it's back to Rec Hall against
Nebraska, out to the Cable Car Classic in San Franciso
*after Christmas for a first-round game with No. 1 North
Carolina, and to Chicago for a Jan. 2 meeting with
DePaul.
The key to performing well in this stretch could be
tomorrow night.
"This (game) is especially important," guard Craig
Buffie said, "because if we win this one, we'll be 4-0.
And we've got a good shot at winning at Hershey, so that

would put us in at 5-0 going to Bloomington. It's a
possibility we've talked about, and it's really important
from that point."
This game is a key improvement point for the Lions'
stretch, too.
Buffie stressed that the Lions can't afford to turn the
ball over on the fast break like they did in the first half
of Wednesday night's win over Indiana State and that
their shot selection must improve, too.
"We keep improving with every game," Buffie said.
"We have to continue that trend."
UNC-Charlotte's win was against UNC-Asheville, a
67-64 last-minute affair that was pulled out by 49er
substitute Irvin Williams, whose nickname is "Captain
Quickness." He came off the bench and made two
steals, both of which led to baskets that tied the score
with five minutes left.
But for most of the game, UNC-Charlotte couldn't buy
a basket, shooting 41 percent from floor. Its scoring was
balanced the three top scorers had 18, 15 and 12
points. But the 49ers' shooting guard, Matt Houpt,
played point and had four points; center, 6-8 Lawrence
Furlow, about whom the Charlotte Sports Information
Office said it's being tactful to 'say he's not a good shot,
was five-of-nine from the field, and forward Bobby
Potts, who scored 45 and 31 points in two preseason
games, was four-for-14.
"We didn't play well until the last four minutes,"
UNC-Charlotte coach. Mike Pratt said of the Asheville
game. "We were ragged. I didn't do a very good job of
preparing them or motivating them.
"I'm sure going to try something different to prepare
them for this game. I don't know what. I'll give them

different things to do and see what happens."
The 49ers aren't a tricky team. Their defense is man
to-man, and they play pretty much a straight textbook
offense. But coach Dick Harter acknowledged the
potential Charlotte has.
"They have a very explosive-type team," he said.
"They have great scoring potential."
They also have great rebounding that is more than
potential. The 49ers outrebounded Asheville 40-29, while
the Lions and Indiana State were even at 36-36 Wednes
day night. But Wednesday was the Lions' best rebound
ing performance so far, even though their big man,
Mike Lang, was only credited with four, a figure Harter
said could have been low.
The rebounding effort was consistent throughout the
lineup, too, but that's not necessarily good, Buffie said.
"Longo has to get more than the other people," Buffie
said. "David Griffin, Dick Mumma, they all have to get
a greater share than the guards or small forwards for
when we go against team giants."
Harter said he doesn't care if one guy gets 50 as long
as the others get four or five each. That's become more
important with the loss of 6-7 Rich Fetter. The Lions
aren't making any special plans to compensate for
Fetter's temporary absence, but it is being felt.
"Rich had a great preseason," Buffie said. "He was
playing the best ball he's ever played. We want him
back as soon as humanly possible. We'll have him back
for the last two-thirds of the season.
"It's a good time for (the injury) to happen earlier
in the season. Because starting Dec. 11 and 12 (the dates
of the Indiana Classic), it gets hard."
