Lady laxers crush Delaware, 19-7
By RICK STOUCH
Collegian Sports Writer
A team that is ranked No. 1 is often
said to have been jinxed or given the
`•kiss of death" as it loses one or
several games . immediately af
terward.
The women's lacrosse team, how
ever, must not believe in such bad
luck. at least not yet. The No. 1
,Lady Lions, rather than succomb to
tiny misfortune that might accompa
iy occupying the top spot, instead
defended their top ranking with a
:V:pngeance by thrashing No. 3 and
Xlefending national champion Dela-
Afare 19-7 yesterday on the Blue Hens'
home field.
Head Coach Gillian Rattray told
4er team to quickly establish its
game.
"We looked at Delaware's scores
;and they had been slow starting,"
Rattray said. "We were determined
•tp set the pace. We were attempting
).o not let them get their rhythm."
And the strategy worked well. After
Penn State (6-0) jumped out to a 3-0
lead by the 3:12 mark, Delaware (2-1-
1) could only come within 4-2 before
the Lady Lions went on a 6-1 streak to
build a 10-3 intermission cushion.
The Blue Hens could not recover in
,the second half.

State was No. 3. The Lady Lions will
play No. 2 Maryland, who tied Dela
ware 8-8 in the Blue Hens' first game
this season, on April 19 at College
Park, Md.
While the Lady Lion defense was
responsible for preserving Penn
State's 6-5 win over Temple last Tues
day, Rattray said the attackers car
ried the weight against Delaware.
"Our defense won the Temple
game, but today our offense came
through," Rattray said. "Laurie
Gray was very strong."
First home Gray led the Lady Lions
with seven goals and an assist, while
second home Marsha Florio accumu
lated five goals and an assist. Third
home Beth Thompson contributed
two goals and two assists, Captain
and right attack wing Betsy Williams
added two goals and four assists and
left attack wing Maggy Dunphy
chipped in three goals.
Rattray, although highlighting the
offense, did not forget about the de
fense.,
"We pressured every ball," she
said. "Barb Jordan looked superb.
Lynn Mattson had an excellent
game."
Mattson made 10 saves, while Jor
dan made four interceptions, got six
ground balls and caused seven Dela
ware turnovers. Dunphy led with
eight ground balls. Penn State had 21
shots on goal in the first half and 20 in
the second compared to eight and 14
for Delaware.

Rattray said the Lady Lions must
be careful not to let this easy win
cause them to take Delaware too
lightly for a possible meeting in the
National Collegiate Athletic Associa
tion playoffs.
"We are just that little bit further
ahead in our season than Delaware
is," Rattray said. "It was our day,
but we must guard against counting
Delaware out. I think we'll play them
again."
Although Penn State's offense and
defense have been consistent this
season, one variable that looks to
continue to change is who the Lady
Lion career assists leader is.
At the beginning of the season,
Candy Finn (1979-82) led the all-time
list with 60 assists, while Williams
had 55 and Florio 53. After last Thurs
day's West Chester game, Florio had
tied Finn, with Williams standing at
59.
Both passed Finn in the William &
Mary game, but not without some
major seesawing. Williams passed
both Finn and Florio to break the
record first at the 12:12 mark, ironi
cally on a Florio goal. Florio tied
Williams at 61, and had to again at 62,
before recording two more assists to
lead 64-62.
Against Delaware, Williams passed
for three assists to again take com
mand. Florio tied Williams at the
42:21 mark, but Williams went ahead
again with an assist at the 46:52 mark
on another Florio goal to lead 66-65.
Crist shines, but netmen lose 2

Every black cloud has a silver lining, and one player
that emerged for the men's tennis team (6-12) through
the recent defeats at the hands of Harvard 7-2 and Yale
8-1, was junior Bryan Crist.
Crist, playing No. 5 singles, was the only Lion to
come away victorious in both•of his matches against
the Ivy League powerhouses. Head Coach Holmes
Cathrall said it was only a matter of time before he
came through.
• "He's been working hard all year," Cathrall said.."l
knew he could play better than he has been and I think
he finally played up to his full potential."
Cathrall said, however, he will not move Crist up a
notch.'
"I think to reward is to punish," Cathrall said. "It
might destroy his confidence and I know he's fine
where he is and he can cope with it."
"I just , think that getting some matches under your
belt is important to build up your confidence," Crist
said. "Once I play this good and win though, I expect to
win all the time. I might be putting a lot of pressure on
myself in the future. But it's good not to have the
underdog feeling walking on the court."
The No. 3 doubles team of Ben Shobaken and Howard
Beckman also managed to emerge victorious against
Harvard, while No. 1 singles player Virgil Christian
had a good showing at Yale, losing to the No. 1
Canadian Davis Cup player Martin Wostenholme only
6-4, 6-3.
Cathrall was pleased with the overall performance of
the team but thought the final scores should have been
closer.
"I was a little disappointed with our doubles play,"
.~
~~0
Cathrall said, "because that is more of a team situation
as compared to singles. We knew we couldn't match
them man for man, but we thought we could have
stayed with them in the doubles matches at least.
"The Yale match could have been very close,"
Cathrall added. "I feel we could have won three
doubles matches there and if we did, the - score would
have been 5-4 instead."
The fact that the team has one of the toughest
schedules in the country gives it a good opportunity to
improve
"We look forward to playing these type of people,"
Cathrall said. "You're forced to really work hard to
win; they challenge you. They (Harvard and Yale)
take their tennis so seriously that they had tailgate
parties before the matches."
"This way you have to raise your game in order to
win," Crist said. "If we didn't play anybody better than
us, we would eventually start playing down to the level
of our opponents and that won't help us any."
With the recent losses, the Lions' losing streak ran to
seven and one wonders just what the team is missing.
"I think it's just a matter of us getting together and
playing well all at the same time," Crist said. "What
we're doing instead is just trying to survive each match
and we're losing perspective of what our goals are.
"Each match is important," Crist added. "But I
think we should focus on winning the Atlantic 10. If we
concentrate on that, we'll be alright."
On Thursday, Friday and Satuiday, the Lions play at
Maryland, Navy and Richmond respectively, and Cath
rall said it will be yet another uphill battle.
"Virginia beat us 8-1," Cathrall said, "and Maryland
beat them by the same score. Harvard and Yale beat
Navy in close matches and Richmond has one of their
best teams in the last 10 years."

Schmidt's smash ifts Phis past Astros, 3-
By RALPH BERNSTEIN
AP Sports Writer
PHILADELPHIA Mike Schmidt
described his game-winning home
run as a relaxed, easy swing. The
result was a smash.
Schmidt hit an eighth-inning 2-2
pitch from Houston's Nolan Ryan into
the left-field stands for a three-run
homer that gave the Philadelphia
Phillies a 3-1 home-opening victory
over the Astros.
"He (Ryan) is a battler, a challeng
er and I just got one hit that happened
to beat him," Schmidt said.
The home run was Schmidt's fourth
off. Ryan and the 391st in his career.
Schmidt, who broke two bats dur
ing previous appearances, said he
approached the plate anxiously after
failing to get a hit in three earlier
efforts and leaving six runners
stranded. But once there, Schmidt
said he felt at ease.
"It was 'a good feeling. He didn't
freeze me or anything," he said.
Schmidt said the home-run pitch,
waist high and a little inside, was the
same one Ryan used to get him out
earlier in the game.
Ryan said he tried to go outside
with a fastball.
"That was the place to throw it. But
it tailed back over the plate.
"As soon as I released it I knew it
was gone," Ryan said.
Phillies' Manager Paul Owens said
Schmidt's homer "was the best at bat
he has had in two or three years. He
fought off a lot of tough pitches. There
was a lot of pressure on him because
he had left so many on. It shows why
he is such a great player."
Ryan now has lost six straight
decisions to the Phillies, dating back
to 1980.
Schmidt delighted the 37,236 fans on
hand with his home run after Hous
