The women's basketball team will be making history against the Clemson Lady Tigers (20-11) in the innagural game of the NCAA tournament. The Penn State-Clemson game is starting be fore any of the other 16 games in the initial year of a NCAA national tournament for women in Division I. Penn State (23-5) coach Rene Portland is not unfamilar with the opening of national tourna ments. Ten years ago when she was playing at Immaculata, her team played in the first game of the AIAW tournament. But Portland is only thinking about tonight's game, which she and her players know is a "do or die" situation. "This is the biggest game of the season," Portland said. "The girls have to know it. "The Cheyneys, the Rutgers and the South Carolinas are all very trivial compared to this game." 0 ' The Lady Lions will have one advantage which Portland said could be most important. Since Penn State was seeded in the Top 16 of the tournament ( No. 16 to be exact) it has the home court advantage for the first game. Penn State was 12-1 in Rec Hall this season. "We have to play this game to win and not be afraid of losing," Portland said. "The home crowd will give them the confidence they need and during the game (the crowd ) will add and add and add to that confidence." The Lady Lions will need a lot of confidence to stop Clemson's Barbara Kennedy, who is the top scorer in the nation averaging 28.8 points a game. However, Portland, as she has done all season against every opponent, will change nothing in order to stop Kennedy and the Lady Tigers. She will not change Penn State's motion offense which rates No. 9 in the country. She will not make any adjustments in Penn State's agressive man-to-man defense. And she will not Regionals By KEITH GROLLER Collegian Sports Writer Here we go again. Pitt and. Penn State dueling it out to prove who's best in the East. But this time it won't be on the gridiron. Believe it or not, it's in women's gymnastics. The Lady Lions own an awesome 13- 0 mark over Pitt in dual meets over the years, including a win this season. But the Lady Panthers are expected to give Penn State a stiff challenge to night when the two teams participate in the NCAA Northeast Regional Championships beginning tonight at Pitt. r I Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Hofstra and Bowling Green will also he competing, but the battle for the re gional championship and an automatic bid to the nationals, figures to be between the two Pennsylvania schools. Coach Judi Avener thinks the battle will be much closer than it has been in other years. "I don't think we're going to win with ease," said Avener late last night. "Pitt and New Hampshire are both definitely threats. We just beat Pitt by a point earlier ( 140.80-139.25) and that was when ( Lisa) Shirk didn't compete in the all-around. "She'll be in the all-around this time and by the way she looks in practice, we could be in trouble. I'm afraid it's going to be a close battle, because Shirk looks just great." Heidi Anderson, who won all five events in the regional meet last year, looked great in her last performance in the meet against Utah and Oregon State. Her 37.95 won the all-around against the country's top two teams and Avener thinks she'll be ready for another strong effort. "Heidi is fully recovered from her injury (a bruised instep) and is ready to go," Avener said. "She's a little p: 4 tired as are the •rest of the team after ) that West Coast trip. But she's in about the same shape as she was a year ago." The rest of the team will go into the meet healthy. Marcy Levine, Karen Polak, and Joanne Beltz will all com pete in the all-around. Linda Tardiff, Joanna Sime, Cissy Chung, Karen Por korny and Jeannie Omohundro will all see action in the two-day competition. Levine will making her final appear ance in the Easterns, an event she took the all-around title in two years ago, and the balance beam championship in 1979. Avener thinks the senior co-cap tain will produce again. "I'm just happy that Marcy is on our side," Avener said. "She always seems to rise to the occassion. She looks good and I think she can finish very high for us." Polak is another one who could finish high for the (12-3) Lady Lions. Polak has been in a slump, according to Avener, but is expected to bounce back.. "Karen didn't hit one beam routine on the whole trip," Avener said. She really had a rough trip. So you could Ifffttbit: NORFOLK • MARCH 26-28 slow down the running game which the Lady Lions have utilized all season. Penn State will hope to play its game for the 40 minutes and take Clemson out of theirs. "We will go at them with what we do best," Portland said. Guard Annie Troyan, who leads the team in assists and ignites the Lady Lion fastbreak, also said Penn State will stay with its same game plan "We have to try to get the boards and run," Troyan said. "We also know they have two other players who can score." These two other players Troyan speaks of are Mary Ann Cubelic, who is averaging more than 17 points a game and Sally Bristol, more than 10 points a game. _ But even with Cubelic and Bristol, Portland said Penn State's depth is an advantage over no cakewalk for gymnasts Penn State's Heidi Anderson will be the favorite to win the all•around title when the women's"gymnastics team competes tonight and tomorrow night in the NCAA Northeast Regional championships at Pittsburgh. say, she's due." , So are the Lady Lions, who were whipped by Utah on Monday night. The top-ranked Utes posted a 149.70 to bury both second-rated Oregon State and fourth-ranked Penn State. Avener said the team wasn't bothered as much by Anderson By KEITH GROLLER Collegian Sports Writer One of the most difficult tasks after a women's gymnas tics meet is to interview Heidi Anderson. It's not that the Lady Lion sophomore pulls a Steve Carlton act and hides out in the training room and no, she doesn't treat reporters as though they were the lowest form of life. It's just that Anderson is always swarmed under by autograph seekers and admirers after a meet and is about as accessible as dorm contracts for Fall Term. The defending national floor exercise champ seems to be as popular as she is talented, and hopes that she keeps her popularity with the judges this weekend as she leads Penn State into the NCAA Northeast Regional Championships in Pittsburgh. Anderson became only the second gymnast from the East to sweep all five events in a championship last year at the EAIAW championships. She's the favorite to repeat in the all-around again this year, and feels a little pressure in trying to repeat. "I feel a little bit of pressure because of last year," Anderson said. "But I'll go into this meet with the goal of doing my best to help the team win. The individual championship comes second." Individual championships may come second for Ander son, but they certainly do come. After winning several titles as a freshman last year, she has been nothing short of outstanding this year. She took the all-around title in the Missouri Cat Classic in January, and on the Lady Lions recent West Coast swing, she took the all-around championship in a meet against top-ranked Utah and Oregon State. the Lady Tigers. "We are more of an all-around team," Port land said. "We almost have five players in double figures for them to be concerned with. "People know 'our sixth and seventh player, but we don't know theirs." Portland figures to insert Stacey Dean (7.8 points) and Kahadeejah Herbert (11.3 points) into the lineup often. With Clemson's explosive starting lineup, Portland said the game will be won when Penn State doesn't have the ball. t "It is going to be a defensive ball game for us," Portland said. "Our defensive game will make our offense." Louise Leimkuhler will be assigned to guard- Kennedy, who likes to play inside. Cheryl Elli son, who is coming off a knee injury, will battle with a much taller Peggy Caple (6-4) at center. Caple scored 22 points in Clemson's last losing effort in the ACC finals against Maryland. Penn State has had almost two weeks off, and until yesterday Portland said her team was a little on edge before the "biggest game of the season." "In the last 24 hours, with the town back to life," Portland said, "the kids are more excited. "They need the moral support they are getting now going into the tournament." Troyan also said the team is getting more keyed up for the game. "I think it will all set in tonight (last night) in practice," Troyan said. "We are really getting excited." There has been a lot to get excited about already this season for the Lady Lions. In tonight's game of firsts, it is appropriate that Penn State's 23-5 regular season record is the best in women's basketball history at Penn State. This will also be the first meeting ever be tween the two clubs. The winner will advance to Knoxville, Tennessee to play the winner of the Southern Cal-Kent State game tomorrow night The loser of tonight's game will end up watching the rest of the tournament. with the the decisive loss at Utah as they were by the narrow loss to UCLA earlier in the trip. "We expected to lose at Utah be cause they are clearly a better team, but it was the loss at UCLA that maybe hurt," Avener said. "It might've have favored been good to lose to a team that we should've beaten because it might mo tivate them to be tougher mentally in every meet from now on." GYM GEMS: This is the first time that the NCAA is conducting the re gional competition. in all-around "I've been pretty happy with all my meets this year," said Anderson, who took two gold medals in the 1979 Pan American Games. "I'd like to improve my vault. I have to work very hard just to get a 9.10 in that event." Anderson has had a season-high of 9.30 (against West Virginia) on the vault. But that's nothing compared to her highs of 9.60 on the uneven bars, 9.65 on the beam and a pair of 9.60 s on her specialty, the floor exercise. It was her dazzling "Baby Face" floor routine that put on top of the victory stand at nationals last year. This year, she has a chance of returning to the platform as the all around champ. "Right now, I'm third behind Sandy Smith (LSU) and Geri Cameron (Arizona State) in the ratings," Anderson said. "But I feel like I'm just as good as those girls on any given night. It just depends on who hits and who doesn't." Coach Judi Avener agrees about Anderson's potential. "She's right in there with anyone in the country," Avener said. "She's capable of beating anyone. But she has to do it when it counts. I'd be very disappointed if she didn't finish in the top five." Anderson hasn't been disappointing too often in her career at Penn State. It's a career, that actually she would've rather spent at Florida. "Believe it or not, my parents forced me to go Penn State," Anderson said."lt seemed like it would've been much more fun down in Florida, but they wanted me to go here." Thanks to Anderson's parents, Penn State has one of best gymnasts in the country, and one that's bound to just get better.

Western Athletic Conference cham pion Wyoming, 22-6, played Southern California of the Pacific 10 Confer ence, 19-8, later last night. West Virginia, champions of the Eastern Eight Conference, advanced to the second round here Saturday afternoon against 11th-ranked Fresno State, the region's fourth-seeded team. North Carolina A&T, a small Greensboro, N.C., school with 6,000 students, finished its season with a 19- 10 mark. West Virginia, seeded fifth in the West with a 27-3 mark, got three straight baskets from Todd to make it Lion wrestlers ninth at NCAA tournament By LEE DeORIO Collegian Sports Writer Things were going pretty much according to plan for Penn State at yesterday's National Collegiate Ath letic Association wrestling championships in Ames, lowa. That was until the heavyweight division. Three Lions had already advanced to the quarterfinals, and another had an excellent chance of entering the consolation bracket despite a second round loss. Only freshman Eric Bru gel had been eliminated. But, quite unexpectedly, heavy weight Steve Sefter was upset in the second round by Nebraska's Gary Albright. Sefter, who was seeded fourth, now must hope Albright wins his next match if he wants to remain in the tournament. Sefter was trailing the Cornhusker 2-1 when he was thrown to the mat and pinned with only three seconds left in the second period. The fact that it was the first time Albright had moved the entire match was upsetting to Penn State head coach Rich Lorenzo. "The officiating really ticked me off," Lorenzo said. "He (Albright) went through two periods without one offensive thrust - all he did was push. Just because a guy weighs 325 pounds and can't tie his sneakers doesn't mean he can't shoot. The rules don't say that; it's an opinion." Sefter was at a decided disadvan tage in that he weighed in approxi mately 100 pounds lighter than Albright. "It definitely hurt Steve. Anyone 100 pounds heavier has an edge," Lorenzo said. "It wasn't technique or wres tling ability that beat Steve. The match wasn't officiated the same way it is in the other 9 weight classes. At The Daily Collegian Friday, March 12 Tickets for the game are $4 for adults and $2 for students and are available at the athletic 10-4 minutes into the g6me and the Mountaineers kept building their lead until the final buzzer. North Carolina A&T, which won the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference playoffs but was seeded last of 12 teams in the West, was making its first appearance in the NCAA Tourna ment. West Virginia, which shot 58 per cent in the first half to 35 percent for the Aggies, built to a 44-32 margin at halftime. A&T kept it within 16 at 78-62 before West Virginia went on a 24-10 spurt for the rest of the game. Joining Todd in double figures for West Virginia were guard Quentin Freeman with 15 points and Eastern Eight Player of the Year Greg Jones with 14. Tony Washam had 12, Donnie Gipson with 11 and center Phil Collins 10. 177, they wouldn't allow a wrestler to push." Despite Sefter's loss, the Lions are in ninth place with 10 1 / 4 points. lowa is in its customary position leading the tournament with 29 1 / 2 points, as the Hawkeyes advanced eight wrestlers into the quarterfinals. Carl DeStefanis at 118, Scott Lynch at 126 and John Hanrahan at 167 each won their first two matches to ad vance to today's quarterfinals. Bill Marino, at 134, lost on criteria to lowa's Jeff Kerber, but has a solid chance of of wrestling in the consola tion round. Marino and Kerber were tied at four at the end of regualtion, and neither wrestler scored in the overtime frame. Kerber scored the match's only takedown, and, therefore, was declared the winner. DeStefanis advanced with decisions over Oklahoma's Dave Rynda, 10-6, and Northern Michigan's Tim Schultz, 11-5, and will now face second seed Joe McFarland of Michigan. Lynch secured a spot in the quar terfinals with a narrow 7-6 overtime win over Slippery Rock's Jerry John son, while Hanrahan advanced with a 4-1 win against Old Dominion's Brad Anderson. Lynch will face lowa State's Joe Gibbons and Hanrahan will tangle with his old nemisis John Reich of Navy. All three quarterfinalists for the Lions have lost to their upcoming opponent earlier in the season. "Our guys know it's a tough fight," Lorenzo said. "They'll have to wrestle their own match, and give 100 per cent. Coming out here they knew ite would be tough." Photo by Nathan Lader See related stories, Page 14
