Stickwomen beat West Chester
By TODD SHERMAN
Collegian Sports Writer
In the first half of yesterday's cru
cial field hockey game against Mid
eastern rival West Chester, the Lady
Lions were caught napping. While
No. 6 Penn State was flat, the 17th
ranked Lady Golden Rams hustled all
over Lady Lion Field and led 1-0 at
the half.
But the Lady Lions roared back in
the second period on goals from Tami
Worley and Alix Hughes for a 2-1,
come-from-behind victory that put
them one step closer to the playoffs.
"I think the key to this game was
that we woke up in the second half,"
Head Coach Gillian Rattray said. "I
was pleased with the second half and
the result, but I think we came out a
little slow. We were hesitating in the
first half. West Chester had nothing to
lose and they beat us to the ball."
The win pushed 15-3-1 Penn State's
record at home to 10-0, but more.
importantly, it solidified the Lady
Lions' quest for a postseason spot for
a seventh straight year. Rattray's
squad finished its National Collegiate
Athletic Association Mideast sched
ule with 6-1 record and a No. 2 rank
ing, and should get an at-large berth
for the first round of the NCAA re
gionals.
Rattray said her team showed
some character by coming back and
scoring twice against a solid 10-7-3
West Chester team that is known for
its defense.
"This team knows when it is not
doing things," Rattray said. "They
know that they have to pick them
selves up and do it on the field, and
say to themselves 'hey, we can do it,'
and I think they proved that they
could in the second half."
The two teams battled back and
forth during the first half until Penn
State trapped the ball on the Lady
Ram side of the field with about 15
minutes left in the period. The Lady
Lions kept the pressure on for the
next 10 minutes thanks to the play of
links Mary McCarthy, and Chris Vi
tale and Worley, who bottled up the
West Chester forward line.
But when the Lady Rams finally
did clear the ball, they scored. On a
penalty corner, West Chester's fifth
of the period, mid-back Janice Beale,
who would fire 10 of her team's 17
shots on goal, hit a shot that was
deflected in by teammate Lori Cris
well at the 29:39 mark to make it 1-0.
Penn State stormed right back up
field, but the Lady Rams played
tenacious defense and did not allow

the Lady Lions a shot for the final five
minutes. For the game West Chester
outshot Penn State 17-16.
The Lady Lions were a different
team in the second half, and the
scoreboard registered the results. Six
minutes into the period, Worley took
a pass, dribbled it upfield 10 yards or
so, and fired the ball past goalkeeper
Amy Westerman to knot the score at
1-1. The goal, Worley's team-leading
eighth of the year, was her fiist in
eight games.
"I guess I haven't been in the right
place at the right time lately, but
today I was," Worley said.
Penn State continued to dominate
play, never giving the Lady Rams an
opportunity to mount an offensive
burst. With 17 minutes left in the
game, Hughes got the game-winner
when she flicked in her fifth goal of
the season with a reverse-stick.
"Alix really came through for us
today," Rattray said. "She was mov
ing extremely well and she was pres
suring every ball. I thought she had a
good game."
West Chester, under pressure,
came back and with seven minutes to
play mounted one last offensive push.
But Hughes, McCarthy, Vitale, and
Miriam Geller all blocked shots to

take the pressure off goalie Michele
Monahan, who finished the game with
six saves, and the Lady Rams came
up empty.
Hughes said the game was a good
test for the team.
"I'm glad we came back it's
good practice," Hughes said. "I don't
like (having to win from behind), and
I wouldn't want to make it a habit, but
especially in the end, I think it was
good to be challenged like that."
Rattray said her team's perfor
mance while on the short end of the
score proved a point.
"It shows we can do it; we just have
to start doing it a little earlier,"
Rattray said. "It is tough we
played on Tuesday, we played today,
and we play Saturday, and we just
have to keep going and I think they
proved today that they can do that."
Penn State closes out its regular
season schedule against another Top
20 opponent, No. 12 Virginia, at 1 p.m.
this Saturday at Lady Lion Field.
"They are a really good team,"
Rattray said. "They have two key
players on offense, Elaine Maddox,
who is very, very fast, and they have
Lindsley Sheehan. If we can contain
those two it will help us tremendous
ly."
Bootees renter polls, meet LaSalle
By CAROL D. RATH
Collegian Sports Writer
With the final regular season game against LaSalle
tonight at 7:15 on Jeffrey Field, the men's soccer team
cannot help but be pleased with its No. 18 ranking after
a two week absence from the polls.
The Lions gradually descended from their preseason
ranking of No. 6 to stagnate at .No. 19 before dropping
out of the polls after a tough 3-0 loss to Hartwick on
Oct. 18. Yet while Mid-Atlantic Regional rival Rutgers
tied games with Princeton and Lafayette, Penn State
tied regionaPrival No. 10 Temple before a rained-out
Cleveland State game to replace Rutgers in the polls.
But their ranking in the polls won't amount to much
if the Lions (13-5-1) cannot defeat the Explorers (8-5-3)
from Philadelphia tonight. A win would secure the
No. 2 position in the Mid-Atlantic Region and guar
antee the Lions of a National Collegiate Athletic
Association playoff bid.
"I hope we can do two things against LaSalle," Head
Coach Walter Bahr said. "Number one is win and
number two is play well at the same time. We're going
to try to put what we do in practice into what we do in
the game."
Bahr said he is looking for a continuation of his
team's ability to perform well, as it has in games
against Rhode Island and Pittsburgh and the upset of
Connecticut. He added that the team suffered through
a "midseason crisis" after consecutive losses to Duke
and Long Island.
"The victory is important to us since LaSalle is a
regional team," defender Larry Miller said. "I don't
think we've ever played them, but they're probably a
physical team like Temple."
Bahr said LaSalle is like Temple since both teams
draw players from the same area and participate
against the same amateur teams in postseason play.
"LaSalle is a solid team without any outstanding
players. Defensively, they're very strong," Bahr
added. "Their coach is an old friend of mine and he was
a good defender himself so if his team has any one
characteristic, it's that they are tough defensively."
Offensively, Bahr said LaSalle is like many other
teams which lack one or two key players who can put
the ball in the net.
"They haven't scored too many goals this year and I
hope that continues tomorrow night (Friday)," Bahr
said.
The Explorers, who defeated Army 1-0 in their last
game, will be led by leading scorer Joe Rudy (10 goals)
and midfielder Mike Conners ( five goals). Goalie Mark
Melvip'has posted a 1.07 goals-against average.
Assistant Coach Marco Bulatovic said LaSalle hasn't
been consistent this year.
"LaSalle has been struggling this season and they're
just not having the year they had hoped for, especially
in the win column," Bulatovic said.
The Lions' latest struggle was in Cleveland on
Tuesday when pelting rains forced officials to call the
game after 18 minutes 9f play.
"I don't think the game actually hurt the team since
they played extremely good during those 18 minutes,"
Bulatovic said. "The goal that was scored was a cheap
goal because of conditions, but the decision to call the
game was a good one. It was a little disappointing since
both teams had a lot riding on the game."
Tonight's game may also be a little disappointing for
graduating players forward Dave Dabora, midfielders
Gerry Moyer, Kevin Jennings and Torben Agesen, and
defenders Larry Miller and Bob Christina.
"I hope that they don't allow that to be a factor in the
game. We just want them to go out and play their
normal game," Bahr said. "There are enough things at
stake in that we have to win and a good victory over
LaSalle will probably guarantee us an NCAA bid.
There are enough factors there that I don't want any
additional . pressure . on them."
`The victory is important to us
since LaSalle is a regional team.'
With the last game of the season approaching, Bahr
reflected on the Lions' overall performance.
"I thought our best game away from home was
against St. Louis (PSU-2, St. Louis-1) earlier in the
season. Our best home game was against Connecticut
(PSU upset UConn 2-1)," Bahr said. "The worst game
. . the game that bothers me more than any other is
the Long Island (LIU-3, PSU-2) game where we gave
up two early goals, made a good comeback and then
lost it in the last couple of minutes."
Yet Bahr was reluctant to disclose his most im
proved or most valuable players and said that will be
announced after postseason play. '
"The senior Tqck usually leads the parade (of good
players). Dave Dabora wasl.a walk-on player and as a
substitute came in and did a good job for us and scored
some important goals," Bahr said. "Bobby Christina,
who was another walk-on player, He was uncertain if
he was going to play this yearsl thought he did a good
job and I hope he continues to do so in the remaining
games.
"Torben Agesen for fotir years has been a valuable
player for us as a starter and as a reserve player. He's
versatile and can play a number of positions," Bahr
added. "Larry Miller deserves special credit for mov
ing back to the sweeper position after playing three
years at center for'svard. We had some problems filling
those defensive positions and Larry was agreeable to
switch and did a better than expected job there.
"We didn't expect Gerry Moyer back at all. We gave
Gerry all his awards last year since it was questionable
whether he'd be back for his fjfth year," Bahr said.
"He could have graduated and gone with a professional
team. At this time last year we weren't sure if he'd
come back and it turns out he wanted to come back.
Then he broke his leg and we thought he'd be out for the
year and he's done a better than expected job in
coming back, which was a plus for us."
Bahr added the composure and attitude Kevin Jen
nings displays, whether the Lions are winning or
losing, are assets to the team.

Spikers close home season
By STACEY JACOBSON
Collegian Sports Writer
The women's volleyball team
will be wearing its blue and white
in Rec Hall for the last time this
season when the Lady Lions match
up against Georgetown University
for their final home game at 8 p.m.
tomorrow.
Although the 26-2 Lady Lions
defeated Georgetown during the
Pittsburgh classic on Oct. 19, Head
Coach Russ Rose considers it a
dangerous team.
"I have respect for George
town." Rose said. "They have
some excellent athletes, their uni
versity is making a commitment to
women's volleyball and when that
happens they're dangerous.
"When any team has good ath
letes and you put four or five of
them on the floor at one time, they
play a good match and you better
be ready."
Rose said the Lady Hoyas have
an excellent offense, equal or supe
rior to Penn State but, the Lady
Lions are stronger defensively.
Captain Lisa Chidester thinks
these strengths will be a challenge

"They hit the ball well . . . but I
think when they hit the ball well we
dig well, so we have both hitting
and digging and I think overall
we'll be a better team."
During the Pittsburgh tourna
ment, members of the Penn State
team did not think Georgetown
played up to par. They feel the
team they will face tomorrow will
be stronger.
Penn State is currently ranked
19th in the National Coaches Asso
ciation poll. Considering its high
ranking and outstanding record,
Georgetown may view a chance to
defeat the Lady Lions as a heated
challenge. If they truly did not play
their best game the last time they
faced the Lions, a victory in Rec
Hall would be sweet for the Hoyas.
"I think they're going to come in
here playing a little bit better than
they did in Pittsburgh," junior set
ter Ellen Hensler said. "They're
going to be giving us a fight, but
since this is our last home game the
seniors will be all pumped up to
play so I think we'll be O.K. against
them."
Rose's philosophy for his team is

to look at tomorrow's match with
intensity. Although the conference
meet is only two weeks away, he
believes in taking one game at a
time.
"Your performance should
speak for itself," Rose said. "I
don't care about last week, I don't
care about last year I care about
next week and the following week
historians worry about that. I'm
not into history, I just know that
we've been very successful and
we're going to continue to work
hard and if hard work correlates
into success then I would anticipate
that we're going to continue to be
successful."
One aspect the squad is working
to improve is its consistency at
away matches.
"I feel we play better at home
than on the road," Rose said. "On
the road we're a little nervous, I
never know if we're going to be up
or down or around and with the
conference champion Ships coming
up in two weeks, I'm more con
cerned with how we'll play in that
environment. If things work out,
we should win the conference
championship."

Netwomen set for postseason play
By MARY DEWEES
Collegian Sports Writer
Six members of the women's tennis team will begin
postseason play today as they travel to the University of
Pennsylvania to compete in the three-day Intercollegiate
Tennis Coaches' Association Northeastern Regional
Championships.
The ITCA Championships are held in each of the seven
tennis regions of the country each fall, and the winners
from each of those regions advance to the national
tournament in Texas.
Coach Jan Bortner said the tournament was set up for
two basic reasons to provide a finale to the fall season
for the players, and to provide an opportunity to see who
the best players from each region are.
"The basic reason behind the tournament is to give the
players, on an individual level, the chance to compete
against the very best players from this region," he said.
"Also, this spring when it comes time to select for the
NtiAAs (National Collegiate Athletic Association
championships), this will have given them a chance to see
the players against each other."
Although the Lady Lions have had quite a successful
season thus far, finishing with a 6-1 record and the
Eastern Championship title, Bortner said they will not go
into this tournament with a relaxed attitude, just looking
to add another win to their record.
"We're looking at this tournament really as a way for
our competitors to play against the very best people in
this region," he said, "with the hope that if they do well,
they can have a chance to qualify for the NCAAs in the
spring."

compete in the tournament were, in singles, senior Pam

Trafford and freshman Darnell Adams, and in doubles,
the team of seniors Janet Whiteside and Amy Robinson.
Also selected as a third alternate was the doubles team of
Romi Walker and Kelly Nelson.
Trafford will be looking forward to this tournament for
two reasons, Bortner said. First, she would like to be
given a chance to avenge a tough loss to the No. 1 player
from the University of Pennsylvania team in the Lady
Lions' final dual meet of,the season. Also, since she is a
senior, it will be her last chance to compete in the major
championship event.
Bortner said Whiteside and Robinson will be looking
forward to the match for the same reason.
'"They're seniors, this will be their last shot," he said.
"I think they'll really want to see how they can match up
against the very best competition, and shoot for one of
those spots in the NCAAs."
Robinson said the two will just try to play their best
tennis as they enter into this weekend's competition.
"We just want to play the best we can," she said.
"We've been building up to this tournament throughout
the season. We know the competition will be tough, but
we're both looking forward to it."
Bortner said the tournament will also provide a good
opportunity for Adams, who was either injured or ill a
large part of the season, to gain some experience against
a number of good players.
In general, Bortner said this tournament could be a
great opportunity for several of his players to ensure an
NCAA berth next spring.
"At this particular point, we have a couple of people
who I think are close to having a chance to represent this
part of the region in the NCAAs."
