Softball team splits with Lady Owls
By TINA REIGHARD
Collegian Sports Writer
The softball team managed one
win and one loss against Temple in
a double-header yesterday on Lady
Lion Field. Penn State defeated the
Owls 2-0 in the first game and lost
the second game 7-3.
Second baseman Pam Mowery
scored the first run of the first game
and third baseman Geri Saya tallied
the second for the Lady Lions in the
bottom of the sixth inning.
"The game was won in the first
inning," Temple Coach Ronnie
Maurek said of the first game.
"Penn State jumped out right in the
beginning."
Rankin said the Lady Lions were
really up for today's game because
of the Lady Owls' (8-5) are No. 1 in
the Atlantic 10, and she was pleased
_with the team's performance.
"We hit well," Rankin said. "We
'were more aggressive than in the
: past. We played well defensively,
even though Temple had people on
• the bases a lot of the time it didn't
: seem to shake them."
Temple Coach Ronnie Maurek
said the Owls were not effective
: offensively in the first game.
"It was a tough loss," Maurek
said. "The 2-0 loss seemed like 20-0.
We got runners on base but they

Laxers meet No. 8 Rutgers
By DAVE ENGLE
Collegian Sports Water
Things won't be any, easier for the
men's lacrosse team at 1:30 tomor
row afternoon when the Lions take on
the Scarlet Knights in Rutgers Stadi
um.
• Penn State (2-4) blew a 2-1 halftime
lead in its 9-3 loss to 10th-ranked
Hofstra last Saturday and No. 8 Rutg
ers will be an equally formidable
challenge to the Lions.
The Scarlet Knights will be the
fourth, nationally ranked squad Penn
State has faced this season and Lion
Head Coach Glenn Thiel hopes the
team can put it all together.
"We're working hard," Thiel said.
"We know what we can do, but we've
got to win one of these games and get
some confidence. We're capable of
beating anybody."
John Schmitt, a senior mid-fielder
from Montclair, N.J., felt the same
way.
"We haven't been playing that
bad," he said. "We've just got to
think positive and get it together for
60 minutes. Wd must charge out of the
gate and continue to play strong
throughout. We can't• afford to make
mistakes."
Rutgers, 6-2, was surprised by New
Hampshire in its •first game of the
year and since then has only lost to
highly ranked Syracuse.
The two teams have been playing
each other for over 25 years and have
built up quite a rivalry. The games
have been especially close the last
three years with the Scarlet Knights
winning last year and the Lions pick
ing up one-goal wins the previous two
years.
"It's one of our oldest and most
intense rivalries," Thiel said. "It's
our most emotional game every
year."
The game is made all the more
interesting by the fact that Rutgers is
coached by Tommy Hayes, a former
Penn State great who played for the
Lions in the 60's.
On the field, Rutgers is led by mid
fielder Albert Ray, a graduate stu
dent who played tailback for the
Scarlet Knights' football team.
"He's a great athlete," said Thiel.
"He dominates play in the mid-field
and we'll have to neutralize'him."
Rutgers runs a fairly patient of
fense and plays tough defense, a
combination that enabled the Scarlet
Knights to topple the Lions 11-3 last
year.
"They play a control:type offense,
passing the ball around and waiting
for the defense to make a mistake,"
Schmitt said. "They did that last year
and were successful."
Thiel hopes that the Lions can stick
with the Scarlet Knights on defense
and not give up any easy goals.
"Defensively we, can't take a lot of
chances," he said. "We have to stay
with our men and deny them the easy
passes."

Lady golfers face field of 24

With the benefit of playing in
three previous tournaments, the
women's golf team will be looking
to end its winless streak Sunday
morning when it tees off in the
Boilermaker Spring Classic at Pur
due University in West Lafayette,
Ind.
Although they have been co-fa
vorites in every tournament
they've participated in this year,
the Lady Lions have come up short
of victory on each occasion, en
countering bad weather and a lack
of sharpness around the greens.
Penn' State lost to William and
Mary by two shots in a sudden
death playoff at the William and
Mary Invitational in Williamsburg,
Va., battling low temperatures,
high winds, and a wind chill factor
which dipped as low as six degrees.
During the Marshall Invitational
at Huntington, W.Va., Penn State
had problems with their short
game, taking fourth place overall.
They also took fourth place in their
own Lady Lion Invitational last
weekend, which was plagued by
rain during the first day 'of play.
Penn State Head Coach Mary
Kennedy said, however, playing in
these three tournaments, plus the
fact that they were able to get in a
full week of practice during good
weather, has the Lady Lions well
prepared for the Boilermaker Clas
sic.
"With three tournaments behind
us, we should perform very well,"
Kennedy said. "(With) a full week
to prepare, practicing the mental
and physical part of the game, we

which is scheduled for a total of 36
holes over Sunday and Monday.
Among the teams Penn State will

shots as well as the Marshall Invi
tational by an unbelievable 15 shots
over 54 holes. The Lady Buckeyes

won both respective tournaments
individually.
Sunday will mark the first time
any member of the Penn State
squad has played on the South
Course at West Lafayette. The
team consists of Jane Abood, Den
ise St. Pierre, who took third place
individually at the Lady Lion Invi
tational, Kellie Jones, Ellen Black,
and Sandy Jaskol.
