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

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.

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.

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,

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

it was l-l late in the third period.

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

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.
