Lady harriers
finish third
By JIM SAUNDERS
Collegian Sports Writer
Encountering what will probably
be its toughest competition of the
regular season, the women's cross
country team again established itself
as a national contender Saturday.
Freshman Stacy Prey, finishing
sixth in a personal best 16:44.9, led
the Lady Lions (67 points) to an •
impressive third-place finish on a
sloppy course at the Annual Rutgers
Invitational.
"I was pleased with (the time),"
said Prey, "I run better in the rain
sometimes."
Prey, who held the lead until about
the halfway point, impressed Head
Coach Teri Jordan.
"Stacy ran a brave race," Jordan
said, "She was running against the
best in the nation and she wasn't
scared of anyone."
Ten 1984 All Americans were fea
tured in the meet, including runners
from last season's national cham
pions, Wisconsin, and North Carolina
State, ranked fourth last year.
North Carolina State (29 points)
won the meet and Wisconsin (33
points) finished second.
Also competing were teams from
Maryland (157 points), University of
Pennsylvania (166), Rutgers (169),
New Hampshire (170), Princeton
(212), Massachusetts (240), Fordham
(281), Rhode Island (287), and Syra
cuse (359).
Other Lady Lions recording person
al bests were junior Lisa Ross (11th
place; 17:32.3), freshman Amy Aston
(13th place; 17:38.6), freshman
Kathy Pitcher (17th place; 17:43.3),
senior Kathy Kuhn (19th place;
17:45.1), and junior Holly Loht (23
place; 17:53.3).
Junior Anne Shafer (18:04) finished
24th in the field of 94 runners.
"I see this team as a lop ten'
nationally," said Jordan, whose 1984
squad finished No. 14 in the country.
Prey, who set a Penn State course
record in her first collegiate meet and
approached course records at West
ern Ontario and Rutgers, also feels
that the team has potential.
"I think that we have a pretty good
chance (at the top ten)," she said,
"The team has all pulled together to
help each other along."
Ross, who edged out the 1984 East
ern champion, Rutgers' Desiree Scott
to capture 11th place, attributes
much of the team's performance to
morale.
"She (Jordan) got us really excited
about this meet,"she said.
The talent of the Lady Lions is not
limited to seven runners. Penn
State's `l3-Team'• shut out the compe
tition with a perfect score of 25 in the
Junior Varsity meet.

Sponaugle, Steinberg pace netmen
By MIKE HOOVER
Collegian Sports Writer
The men's tennis team used a combination of consis
tent doubles play and stellar singles performances by
Lee Sponaugle and Adam Steinberg to capture two of
three matches in Virginia this weekend.
Sponaugle and Steinberg completely dominated sin
gles play by winning the 12 sets they played. Sponaugle
and Steinberg had a composite score of 73-30 in set
play.
The doubles squad assisted the Lions' by a solid
performance throughout the weekend. Down 4-2 after
singles play in the head on competition with James
Madison, the doubles squad swept the opposition to
carry the team to a 5-4 victory.
"We can play the best doubles of any team in the
country," Head Coach Holmes Cathrall said. "The kids
did well. They hung together. I have a lot of confidence
in them."
Traditional Penn State tennis nemesis West Virginia
continued to pose some difficulties for the Lions. The
Mountaineers' led the squad 4-2 after singles competi
tion. But the doubles squad made the opposition earn a
team victory by engaging in fierce confrontation with
all three matches going three sets.
"If we play them 100 times we can beat them just as
easily as they can beat us," Cathrall said.
At the No. 1 doubles seed, Sponaugle and Oliver
Netwomen remain undefeated
By MARY DEWEES
Collegian Sports Writer
The women's tennis team (3-0)
continued its domination as it re
turned from Lehigh University last
Thursday with an 8-1 win.
The loss of the single match was the
Lady Lions' first in duel competition
since they began their season on
Sept. 20. After sweeping in the first
set, No. 2 Romi Walker lost in a three-

Sebestian lost an all-out war with Gary Fry and John
Moore 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (9-7 tiebreaker).
Marc Verebey and Dwayne Hultquist captured a
victory at the No. 2 spot 2-6, 6-1, 6-3.
"We know what we have to do," Verebey said. "It is
just a matter of executing our play. There are going to
be times when I am down and Dwayne will pull me up
and vice-versa. This is when we get rolling."
The No. 3 doubles match was characteristic of the
tennis rivalry between the two schools as Scott Grebe
and Bill Dollard lost 1-6, 7-6, 7-5 to Martin Unibeck and
Ray Kurey of the Mountaineers.
The Lions' dominated singles play in the match with
Virginia Commonwealth as they swept the opposition
7-0
Sponaugle and Steinberg were impressive in singles
play as they left Virginia 3-0 against the opposition.
Sponauglevasily defeated Rob Sheeks of West Vir
ginia 6-4, 6-1; Gary Shendell of James Madison 6-1, 6-4;
and Jan Hevron of Virginia Commwealth 7-5, 6-1.
"Lee was serving well," No. 2 doubles player
Dwayne Hultquist said. "He controlled his matches
with his serve. When he is serving well he is going to
win."
Steinberg stymied the competition by allowing his
opponents to win only 14 game victories out of the 36 he
played.
"Adam and Lee got into their matches and did not let
much bother them," Cathrall said. "I can't ask for any
better from them. They did what they had to do."
setter to Lehigh's Chris Yuraco, 6-0,
2-6, 6-7
The remaining five singles players
won in straight sets, making it 'diffi
cult for Coach Jan Bortner to point to
a single match as outstanding, al
though he said two victories in partic
ular stood out from the rest.
"The most impressive winners
were Pam Trafford and Amy Robin
son," Bortner said. _ _
No. 1 Trafford defeated Beth Dale,
6-1, 6-4, while No. 5 Robinson allowed
her opponent only four games.
Freshman Darnell Adams made a
successful debut at No. 3 singles,
overcoming Lehigh's Donna Armen
nio, 6-2, 7-6. At the other two singles
positions, No. 4 Kelly Nelson cruised
by Gail Brennan, 6-4, 6-2, and No. 6
Janet Whiteside followed suit.
The team will be in competition
again tomorrow as it visits Swarth
more.
