Four minutes later, the Flyers' lead increased
to 2-0 on a power play. Kerr nudged in a rebound
of a close-in shot by Brian Propp. The Flyers got
their one-man advantage at 5:54, when Rich
Kromm was caught hooking.
Before the period ended, the Flyers made it 3-0
on a 10-footer by Nachbaur. Scott Mellanby
dropped a pass back to Nachbaur, who shot
between Hrudey's pads •at 14:21 for the first
playoff goal of his career.
After Kerr's second-period score gave the

Fatal third round dooms lady golfers

Taking a seven-stroke lead into the final round of
the last weekend's William & Mary Invitational,
the women's golf team was unable to hold on and
finished fourth in a 12-team field.
"I don't know what is was," senior Lisa Dine
said. "We usually shoot poorly the first round and
well in the last, but this time we shot well the first
two days and bad the last."
The tournament was won by Rollins during a
sudden death playoff with Purdue. Longwood
College finished third, one stroke ahead of Penn
State and North Carolina-Wilmington.
Dine said the team really wanted to win because
it was the final collegiate tournament for three
players: herself, Erin Borowicz and Sue Highdu

MONTREAL Dale Hunter's power-play goal
at 2:04 of the third period triggered a three-goal
outburst and helped the Quebec Nordiques to a 7-
5 victory over the red-hot Montreal Canadiens in
the opening game of their second-round NHL
playoff series last night.
"We hadn't won a tournament all year," she
said, "and this was our best chance. It was the
first time we were all hitting the ball great, but we
just couldn't get our scores low enough (the third
day). We had trouble with our short games and
had a hard time getting a feel for the greens. It
was a disappointing ending."
Rain in Williamsburg, Va., prevented the Lady
Lions from getting practice, but the team walked
through the course. The course is strategically
laid-out so that placement off the tee is crucial.
The rain ended before the tournament began,
however, as sunny skies prevailed.
Pacing the Lady Lions was Bprowicz, who
placed seventh in the individual competition. She
was followed by Susan Dutilly, who earned 11th
place honors. Because she was competing only
individually, her scores did not play a role the
team's total,

On the fateful third day, the Lady Lions were
hurt by a combination of their mediocre play and
the torrid play of Rollins and Purdue. Consistent
trouble with the greens proved to be the Penn
State's downfall, as it dropped three places in one
day.
"Rollins just improved themselves temendous
ly," sophomore Jody Harpster said. "They shot in
the 320 s the first two days and then shot a 309. We
were all in the 80s, and that's not going to win. No
one had a really oustanding round the last day.
"We were shooting in the 3205, and that was good
enough for the lead ( the first two days)," Harpster
added. "But to play well we have to shoot between
310 and 320. I think Coach (Denise) St. Pierre
knew the other teams would have better perfor
mances the third day. It would have been nice to
win it for the seniors."
Softball team back
from tiring road , trip
By STEVE SAMPSELL
Collegian Sports Writer
Ahhhh, the excitement of travel
ing. Seeing the world. Experienc
ing new things and meeting new
people. What else could be more
thrilling?
Where can you find excitement
like this? In the Army? Navy? Air
Force? Marines?
Actually, if you happen to play
softball; the answer is none of the
above. Indeed, the Lady Lions (17-
20 overall, 3-3 in the Atlantic 10)
may know more than anyone else
on campus about the 'excitement'
of travel.
The squad returned yesterday
from a four-day, eight-game road
trip that left the team "completely
exhausted and tired," according
to Head Coach Sue Rankin.
The Lady Lions went 3-4 on the
trip, but Rankin was very happy
with her team's performance
against some of best squads in the
Northeast.
"The pitching was strong, espe
cially Aileen (Polanis), who
pitched over her head all during
the trip. Defensively, we were
steady and Nan Sichler has been
instrumental all year, at the plate

and defensively," she said.
The trip began at Rhode Island'
last Thursday, where the Lady
Lions split a twinbill with the host
Wrams, winning 3-2 and losing 5-4
in nine innings.
One of Penn State's biggest
problems in that series was the
weather, as the games were
played in freezing rain that sever
ly hampered the level of play.
"The weather was definitely
less than ideal," Rankin said.
On Friday, the Lady Lions
moved on to face Connecticut
(No. 20 nationally, No. 1 in the
Northeast). However, only one of
the two scheduled games was
played becuase of more awful
weather. The final result was also
awful, as Penn State dropped a
tough 2-1 decision in 14 innings
despite some good pitching from
Polanis.
"She pitched one of the best
games I've ever seen a pitcher
pitch," catcher Melinda Silva
said. "It was just a matter of who
got the runs. We scored early, but
they won."
After the loss, the team bounced
back on Saturday and swept two
important. A-10 games from Mas
sachusetts, 4-2 and 1-0.
