14—The Daily Collegian Friday, March 14,1986 Wolfpack is carbon copy of lady cagers By MATT HERB Collegian Sports Writer The women’s basketball team hasn’t faced North Carolina State in three years, but it isn’t quite fair to say the two teams are unfamiliar. In truth, they know each other like a mirror reflection. Or a xerox copy, choose your meta phor. In either case, there’s no getting around the remarkable fact that somehow the Wolfpack, be it through recruitment or coaching or plain old carbon paper are a stunningly com plete duplicate of the Lady Lions. For starters, there is point guard Carla Hillman, a Suzie McConnell type according to Lady Lion Assis tant Coach Dan Durkin. Though she averages only 5,.4 points per game, well below McConnell’s 12.1, it’s her role as floor general that begs the comparison. “She pretty much runs the show,” Durkin said. “She pressures defensi vely the way we use Suzie. Offensive Softball team faces 3 foes in South Carolina By MIKE FRASSINELLI Collegian Sports Writer The softball team will be on the road again this weekend to play six games in South Carolina. Over spring break, the defending Atlantic 10 Conference champions began their 1986 season by compiling a 6-5 record in a tournament at Ocoee, Fla. After winning the first two games of the Florida tournament, the Lady Lions lost to Lewis University, 5-3, and were shut out in a double header by powerful South Florida. “We’re a very young team,” Head Coach Sue Rankin said. “We made some young mistakes earlier in the week, but I thought our team really pulled together and improved greatly Fencers send six to NCAA Championships at Princeton By MEGAN CULHANE Collegian Sports Writer Excitement and curiosity will accompany six members of the men’s fencing team this weekend as they travel to Princeton, N. J., for the National Collegiate Athletic Association Championships. The team is excited about improving upon the fifth-place finish which it shared with the University of Pennsylvania a year ago. Yet nervous curiousity about the competition will follow three freshmen newcomers. gs ★ KI ★ KS ★ KZ S 3 * w * w * w * w * w -fc W * w « * w Ui •K W Warmly welcome their 1986 Spring Pledge Class: Bruce 6.

State is Angela Daye, a 6-1 forward who’s been averaging 10.1 points per game for the Wolfpack, along with 6.9 re bounds. More imposing still is 6-3 forward Trina Trice, the acknowledged star of the team with 18.3 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. Like Penn State’s Vicki Link, she leads her team in both categories. “I think they’re almost identical,” N.C. State Head Coach Kay Yow said. “We realize that about Vicki, and they realize it about Trina.” Given both teams’ strength inside, the prevailing wisdom would seem to be to try and keep each other out of the lane. Durkin, though, isn’t so sure. He’d rather see the Wolfpack take its chances against Penn State’s bruising inside game. “N.C. State shoots as a team 50, 51 percent,” Durkin said,’“so the name of the game is to let those kids drive rather than shoot the jumper.” in the last three days.” The Lady Lions, behind strong pitching by sophomore Beth Devlin of Bellefonte and strong hitting by third baseman Karen Schilling, shortstop Nan Sichler, catcher Donna Devan ney and Devlin, finished the Florida tournament by winning four of their last six games. “One of our strengths this season is that we’re a good hitting team,” Rankin said. Rankin added that although the Lady Lions played inconsistently and made “young mistakes” during the Florida tournament, they should be ready for this weekend’s tournament.

With Trice and Daye in the middle, the Wolfpack would be just as happy to put it up from the lane and fight it out with Collins, Link and Edvinsson under the bucket. Yow sees the advantage in both options. “We’ve been successful scoring inside a lot,” she said, “and when we can do that, we go to it. But we have had those games here and there where our guards have been the lead ing scorers. “We have a couple of pretty good perimeter scorers who will put the ball up if we have to hit from there. I think we realize that if we get stomped on the inside, we’ll have to score from the outside.” And so surprise! might the Lady Lions. When the backcourt tan dem of McConnell and Patti Longe necker has been unable to work the ball underneath to Link and centers Bethany Collins and Pia Edvinsson, the Lady Lions have often relied on the devastating outside shooting of Carolina campus, while the Lady Lions will face Northern Illinois and North Carolina tomorrow afternoon and Princeton in a doubleheader Sun day at the Pontiac Complex near Columbia, S.C. The Lady Lions have never played Indiana State or Northern Ulionois, but Penn State historically has had great success against Princeton and North Carolina. The Lady Lions are undefeated in five games against Princeton and have beaten North Carolina in two out of three games. Rankin said that this weekend’s tournament should be a good experi ence for her young team. “The South Carolina tournament, as well as the Florida tournament, is important for us because we get to Head Coach Emmanuil Kaidanov said he was surprised that all the fencers got bids since the team’s season had not been as successful as it could have been. “Overall, I thought that they might have some problems to qualify (for the NCAAs),” Kaidanov said. “During the season, they didn’t have an outstanding outcome. They did have some good achievements though.” Adam Feldman and John Orvos will be representing the Lions in the foil division.

When it comes to defending the Lady Lions, Yow is, depending on one’s point of view, either terribly unsure what to key on, or just deliber atly cryptic. Stopping McConnell, she hinted, may be the key to stopping the Penn State offense, but then again, maybe not. “We’re going into this game with our system, and we’re just going to try and execute it,” Yow said. “We won’t be keying on anybody in partic ular at the beginning, but if you thought about keying on anybody, it would be the point guard ... but I think we just have to play hard and get into the game and see what we might have to do.” Of the major differences between the teams, the key one is the easiest to find. While both teams play a similar game with similar personnel, the Wolfpack’s record is 18-10. Penn State’s stands at 23-7. In addition, the Lady Lions have risen to whatever the occasion calls for in postseason play. see teams outside of our region, 1 ’ Rankin said. Since the Atlantic 10 Conference champion no longer receives an auto matic bid to the NCAA playoffs, Ran kin noted this game is also important from a playoff perspective. “We need to beat the so-called big teams in order to get a bid in the NCAAs,” Rankin said. With the departure of star pitcher Mary Butler due to academic prob lems, Rankin will count on freshman Wendy Follweiler to join mainstays Devlin and Aileen Polanis on the pitching staff. “Wendy really hasn’t played that much yet,” Rankin said. “But with (Butler’s) absence, she will definitely see more playing time.” 0-103 K£ ★ Gymmen look to Panthers and By KELLY LANKAU Collegian Sports Writer , If ever there was a meet that the men’s gymnastics team would like to get over and done with, tonight’s meet against Pitt is it. Although Head Coach Karl Schier said he does not expect the Panthers to be a threat to the team when they meet at 7 p.m. in Pittsburgh, there is another threat that he said could 'cause major problems for the team at this point in the season additional injuries. Penn State (7-1-1) will have to do without the services of top all-around er Spider Maxwell who is sidelined with an arm injury caused by a pinched nerve in his neck. Maxwell has not performed in the last two meets and is trying to recover for the National Collegiate Athletic Associa tion Championships in early April. Also missing from the lineup is senior Mike Dailey who resprained an ankle in practice this week and will not compete in his last regular season competition. Junior Chris Laux is slowly return ing to full strength and will compete on only rings and vault. Laux’s ab sence has been felt by the Lions all season in the all-around competition and they are anxious for his recovery in time for the NCAAs, but Schier said he does not want to rush him back into competition. The loss of those men has caused Schier to once again turn to the younger members of the team to fill in the gaps. Freshmen Jan Olsen and Kurt Schier have been called on in many meets to pick up the slack and have gained excellent competition experience. “I never thought they’d be able to do the kind of job they’ve done,” junior lan Shelley said. “They’ve done exceptionally well. And they’re regardless of how he performs this weekend, “I’m working harder in practice, with leg he will be looking forward to the experience, excercises, conditioning and longer fencing “I was pretty comfortable with the fact lessons,” Cox said, that I would get a bid.” Orvos said. “I’d be Joe Orvos and George Poslusny will rep surprised if I did anything spectacular. I’m resent the team in the epee event, prepared to come out winning, but I look to it The fencers are confident about this com as more of a'learning experience.” petition, yet they travel to Princeton with Captain Brian Keane and Peter Cox will realistic goals in mind, compete in the sabre division. ■ Kaidanov said the NCAAs are a different Cox explained that he has been working type of competition, harder to prepare for this competition since “It is more individual in terms of competi the Lions will be meeting up with the best tion yet those competing will score points collegiate fencers in the country. toward the overall team effort,” he said. injuries gaining experience that will be to our benefit at the NCAA meet.” Olsen, new to Penn State from Denmark this January, has per formed on the pommel horse and vault for the Lions and has one of the top vault scores for the team. “He’s one of the strongest mental competitors on the team,” Shelley said. “He’s the kind of kid that you know he’s going to go out there and hit his events.” “For a freshman, he’s doing great,” junior Mike Ambrozy said. “He’s been looking a lot more confi dent on the pommel horse and his vaulting is some of the best in the country right now.” Another Lion who has seen an in crease in performance time and a rise in scores is junior Phil Mitchell. As the injury list grew, Mitchell was asked to perform on additional appa ratus and has made steady progress in his scoring potential. “Phil definitely has improved,” Shelley said, “Not just in his routines, but in the way he competes. He’s gotten more confident throughtout the season and his performances show that.” The efforts of those men should be sufficient to see the Lions defeat the Panthers with no major difficulty. Pitt (10-5) has been scoring in the mid-260s and has three strong all around gymnasts in Mark Klafter, Matt Peters and Jorge Sanchez. Competing in the all-around compe tition for the Lions will be Shelley, junior Glen Aser and sophomore Mar celo Ribeiro. Schier said the team will use this meet as a testing ground for the NCAA competition. A strong finish against Pitt would be a positive moti vational force for the team as it begins a three-week intense training period for the championships. beat I BggHVWWTmn r W'VHB Accepting Appllcatlons-One bed | room and studios.
