Zenith Oata Sy»«am* sports Cagers self-destruct, drop 74-70 decision to Loyola By MARK ASHENFELTER Collegian Sports Writer Tony Ward was feeling sick from the start and the feeling became contagious for the men’s basketball team yesterday at Rec Hall. Ward, the team’s starting point guard, was limited to just 14 minutes of action and the Lions’ offense took on a sickening appearance down the stretch. The Lions watched an 11-point lead evaporate in less than six minutes, as Loyola of Maryland charged to a 74-70 victory in front of 2,005 fans in the Lions’ home opener. It was Penn State’s second straight loss after winning the AMI Clas sic in Miami last weekend. Penn State had a 40-32 lead at halftime as the team hit on 57 percent of its shots. The figure dropped to 43 percent after intermission, a fact that didn’t surprise Head Coach Bruce Parkhill. “We sure didn’t look like we were ready to play,” he said. “When we came out at halftime I was really concerned. They just didn’t look like they were ready to play, for whatever reason.” Parkhill isn’t sure what caused the Lions’ lethargic performance, but he knows what did the team in. Tom Hovasse and Paul Murphy, normally two of the Lions’ most dependable shooters, combined to hit just six of 21 shots on the day. Mike Peapos tried to pick up the slack inside, but his 18 points weren’t enough to carry the club. Penn State was also outrebounded, 35-34, de spite the fact that not a single Greyhound player was taller than 6-5. Carl Chrabascz led the Lions with eight rebounds, Ed Fogell added six and Peapos five for the Lions. But it wouldn’t have mattered if the Lions had maintained the shooting touch they had late in the first half. The Lions started the game slowly, and then put on a furious charge to build a 40-32 lead at the half. They led by one, 29-28, with 5:18 left, but Hovasse added five points, while Peapos and Chrabascz added four each down the stretch to build the lead. After intermission, however, the Greyhounds started running right past the Lions. Loyola took a 45-44 lead on David Gately’s 15-foot jumper with 15:48 remaining, but a Murphy jumper put the Lions back in front. Peapos then scored 10 of the Lions’ next 16 points as they built a 62-51 lead with 8:06 remaining. Things quickly went downhill after that, as the absence of Ward began to take its toll. The Lions got sloppy and didn’t score again until Peapos’ follow-up shot boosted their lead back to five with 4:51 left. Peapos, however, picked up his fourth foul 29 seconds later and was done for the day. “I think we had a bit of a lapse defensively,” Parkhill said of the Greyhounds’ run. “I think Loyola hit a couple of big shots and kind of snuck their way back into it... On the other end, we weren’t doing a whole lot offensively.” Parkhill called Ward to his side late in the game, and sent him back to the bench. Parkhill said he only needed one look to tell that Ward was in no shape to help the Lions. But Penn State still had a few chances to make Ward feel better down the stretch. Loyola took the lead for good, 69-68, on Byron Allmond’s layup with 2:51 remaining. Murphy missed the front end of a one-and-one with 1:12 left and Mike luzzolino couldn’t connect on two jumpers down the stretch. It was a sweet victory for Greyhound Head Coach Mark Amatucci. He wasn’t pleased with his club in the first half, but said it did everything he wanted down the stretch. Lady cagers at weekend By MARK FURRY Collegian Sports Writer The Lady Lion basketball team traveled to the Universtiy of Illinois this weekend and took second place in the Illini Classic. The Lady Lions got past defending PAC-10 champion Washington 70-68, but ran into an improving Illinois squad Saturday. The Lady Lions lost to the Illini 88-70. The victory was Illinois’ third straight the Illini took the Syracuse Tournament last week, defeating Louisville and Holy Cross. The loss was the Lady Lion’s first and puts the team’s record at 2-1. Friday’s game against Washington was truly a nail-biter. The Lady Lions were losing the entire way until late in the second half. With 5:38 left, Lisa Faloon hit a jumper that gave Penn State a lead it would never relinquish. In the last five minutes, the Lady Lions iced the game with free-throw shooting. Faloon and Vicki Link both went two for two from the line and Link also added two field goals in the final five minutes. With 53 seconds left and Penn State leading 70-68, the Huskies called timeout. Washington’s Lisa Rasch kow had two chances as the clock ticked off, but missed both attempts from the floor. Fortunately for Penn State, Christmas came early.' The Lady Lions hit 10 of 15 from the line, while Washington enjoyed only one good foul shot. Penn State was led by Faloon, who scored 20, and Link, who had 22. The weekend was a milestone for Link she reached the 1000 career-points plateau. Suzie McConnell, the assist machine, dished out 12 of those. Going into this weekend’s action, Head Coach Rene Portland was con cerned with her team’s inside game. That concern was justified: Washing ton outrebounded the Lady Lions 32- 23, and Illinois destroyed Penn State Penn State’s Mike Peapos reaches for the hoop for two of his 18 points yesterday against Loyola of Maryland at Rec Hall. Despite Peapos’ stellar performance, the Lions still dropped a 74*70 decision to the Greyhounds. earn split tournament on the boards to the tune of 43-29. “Our big kids didn’t post up until late in the game,” Portland said, commenting on the Illinois game. “All the pressure was on the guards. I’ll give them (Illinois) a lot of credit, they were fired up.” One of the reasons Penn State is in trouble inside is that Bethany Collins is still not completely recovered from shoulder surgery. The 6-foot-3 center didn’t start against Washington, and saw only 28 minutes of action against Illinois. Portland started three guards, McConnell, Faloon, Shelly Caplinger. In Saturday’s contest, the Lady Lions tied Illinois once before the tipoff when the score was 0-0. Illinois scored the game’s first basket and never surrendered the lead. Penn State was down by 10 at the half, 42-32, but could not get closer. The Lady Lions scored just one point in the first five minutes of the second half, as Illinois turned it on to assure the victory. Illinois committed 16 fouls to Penn State’s 23. Illinois was into the bonus early in both the first and second halves. “The situation reversed against Illinois, they went to the foul line more.” Portland said. “It’s always tough on the road.” Penn State was led by Faloon, who gathered 18 points, and Link, who scored 15. McConnell continued her unselfish ways, dishing off 13 assists. Illinois was led by Jonelle Polk, who was named tournament MVP. Polk, a 6-foot-3 center, scored 32 points against the Lady Lions, going 13 for 20 from the field. She also had 10 rebounds. Polk scored 34 against Eastern Michgan the night before. Before anyone begins blowing taps for the Lady Lions, remember that Penn State still has not had the serv ices of Vanessa Paynter, whose knee is still recovering. Grapplers By ANN GARRETT and MARK S. McWHIRTER Collegian Sports Writers After two full days of wrestling and more than 630 individual bouts, the 14th annual Penn State Invitational ended with three Lions capturing individual titles and four finishing in second place. , Penn State’s Greg Elinsky, Ken Chertow, and Dan Mayo all finished on top in their respective weight classes. Tim Flynn, Jim Martin, Glenn Koser, and Duane Peoples also made the finals, but came up short. Elinsky, a senior, became the first wrestler in Penn State’s history to win four Invitational titles with a 7-2 decision over Army’s 167-pounder, Dave McCormick. Elinsky said the victory meant more to him because he surpassed former Lion Chris Bevi lacqua’s Invitational title record (Bevilacqua earned three Invite ti tles). “With a long week like this one was, it has really been an act of attrition,” Elinsky said of the team’s overall performance after competing three times in four days. “Then again I think it’s understandable because if you look at it logically, every match helps.” ‘lf you look at it logically, every match helps.’ -Greg Elinsky Elinsky, who has won two titles at both 158 and 167, defeated opponents from Cornell, Millersville, Maryland, and Virginia on his road to the title. Chertow scored a takedown with eight seconds remaining to win a 10-9 decision over Montclair State’s Pete Gonzalez. Early in the first period, Chertow was in trouble as his counter to Gonzalez’ fireman’s carry was capture three wins at Invite L-Xv'-X B .W,v. Penn State’s Dan Mayo, left, has a firm hold on Maryland’s Steve Peperak during weekend action at the Penn State Invitational at Rec Hall. Mayo won the bout 3-2, en route to winning his weight division in the tournament. unsuccessful. Gonzalez had Chertow starring at the lights for a good part of the first period and had a 5-0 lead at its conclusion. Chertow came back to life in the second and third periods as he took Gonzalez down twice in each. With less than 10 seconds remaining in the match and losing 8-9, Chertow scored a takedown to secure the win. “I made a mistake falling behind early, I tried a move I usually try,” Chertow said. “The first time I al most got it and the second time he caught me on it.” The only other Lion to come out on top was Mayo at 177. Mayo’s match dragged along at a very slow pace as it was l-l late in the third period. Mayo took Maryland’s Steve Peperak down with 30 seconds remaining to go up by two. Peperak escaped to bring it to within one, but fell short, losing Peapos' goes all By MARK BRENNAN Collegian Sports Writer When center Mike Peapos en tered the media room in Rec Hall following the men’s basketball team’s 74-70 loss to Loyola of Maryland yesterday, you could have sworn he single-handedly lost the game. In fact, despite scoring 18 points (11 in the second half) in what was by far the best scoring output by the reserve center in four games this season, Peapos said he was not pleased with his own perfor mance. “I don’t think so,” Peapos said when asked if it had been his best game of the year. "For some reason we never got control of the game. Just because I scored points tonight, I don’t think it was my best game.” But Head Coach Bruce Parkhill disagreed. Although each of the Lions’ starting inside men were at least five inches taller than their Greyhound counterparts, Parkhill felt Peapos was the only Penn State player that was really effec tive in the game. Starting guard Tony Ward was stopped by the flu, leaving the game at the beginning of the sec ond half, but Parkhill said a fired up Loyola defense and poor out side shooting made the majority of the Penn State team look sick. “We all played like we had the flu tonight, except Mike Peapos I think he played hard,” Parkhill said. “He was just going after it, he was really playing hard and going after the ball, and not stand ing and watching. Michael was giving it some second and third effort, and when you do that, things happen.” Peapos’ 18 points gave him near ly half of Penn State’s points in side. Maybe not a great statistic considering Loyola started a 6-5 center along with 6-4 and 6-1 for wards, but nonetheless something none of the other Lions could do. The Lions starting front wall, which went 6-10 >/ 2 , 6-9 and 6-8, scored only nine points combined. That may explain why Parkhill became concerned when Peapos picked up his fourth foul with 4:22 left in the game and Penn State leading 64-61. Parkhill said al though he did not want to, he was forced to pull the junior from Whitehall, Pa., out of the game at that point. “It was a tough decision,” Park hill said. “We felt if we had a small by a final score of 4-2. The additional point was awarded to Mayo for riding time. At 134, Flynn lost a controversial 3- 1 decision to Paul Clark of Clarion. In the bout’s final seconds, Flynn came about as close as one can get to a takedown but the referee said Flynn did not have control. “It depends what referee you have at the time,”. Penn State Head Coach Rich Lorenzo said of Flynn’s last second decision. “Some officials call them a little slower and if we would have had the other referee, he proba bly would have called it a two-point takedown.” Martin also fell victim to a contro versial call near the end of his match at 118. Early in the third period, Martin tied the match up at one apiece with an escape. Edinboro’s The Daily Collegian Monday, Dec. 8, 1986 fine effort for naught ‘For some reason we never got control of the game. Just because I scored points tonight, I don’t think it was my best game.’ Mike Peapos lead later in the game, we were going to need him down the stretch. He was making his, fouls shots and was giving us good play inside.” Peapos said he thought the foul that put him on the bench was a “stupid” one, which made it a little harder to swallow. “It was a stupid foul, I boxed the guy out and then I released him, and he got the ball,” Peapos said. “I should have come out of the game. I think Coach made a prop er move.” Peapos said he then just waited to get back in the game. “You always want to get back in the game to try to help the team out,” Peapos said. As it turned out, the Greyhounds took the lead less than two minutes later, forcing the Lions to go with three and four-guard pressing de fenses to try to cut the lead. Ironically, Peapos, who kept Penn State in the game in the second half, watched the final four minutes from the bench. Dave Rowan then took Martin down to go ahead by two. Martin promptly escaped and went on to take Rowan down to take a 4-3 lead with 20 sec onds to go in the match. The contro versy came in the last two seconds when the referee awarded Rowan a reversal that Lorenzo did not agree with. “We didn’t think the guy ever es tablished enough control for two points,” Lorenzo said of Rowan’s 5-4 upset. “He still had his leg when it all ended up and I think the official anticipated there was a reversal there. He didn’t quite get a reversal, the best he had was an escape and I don’t think he even had that.” Other second-place finishers for Penn State were Koser at 150, losing to Indiana University’s Scott Duncan 11-4, and Peoples at 158,- bowing to Eric Wertz of Pittsburgh, 11-8.
