Lady Laxers
Continued from Page 13.
Things started getting hairy for
the Lady Lions at the 6:33 mark
when Cummings notched her sec
ond goal of the day on a feed from
Mandee Moore to make it 7-5. And
just nine seconds later Deb Minzola
scored her second of the afternoon
to make it a one-goal game.
That’s when Penn State Head
Coach Sue Scheetz ordered her
troops to spread the field on offense
to draw Temple out of its suffocat
ing packed-in defense. While
spreading the field and working for
an inside shot, the Lady Lions
whittled off most of the remaining
time, giving the Lady Owls little
chance of tying the game.
“When Temple got three goals, I
thought it would be just like them to
come back,” said Scheetz after her
second trip to the finals in as many
years. “They neyer say die. They
just had a great season.”
As for chewing up the clock, Vi
tale said that maintaining posses
sion was key.
“In those last couple minutes, I
was just thinking ‘let’s just keep the
ball in our possession,’ ” the senior
said after her final game as a Lady
Lion. “It feels so good to win it this
yeajr. We all worked so hard for
this.”
“This is an unbelievable feeling,”
Foley gushed after the win. “This is
the best feeling in the world.”
“After they scored (those two
quick goals), I knew we just had to
get things together, get possession

and hold the ball,” Worley said.
After a scoreless opening 15 min
utes, Temple got on the board first
on a Cummings unassisted effort
with 8:51 left before intermission.
Anna Marie Vesco evened things up
for the Lady Lions just 1:17 later
when she blew a shot past Muller
high to the stick side.
The game remained tied until
Stokes scored on a free position
with 2:4? left.
With just 15 seconds to play in the
first half, lightning struck twice for
the Lady Lions, as Worley punched
in a deflected shot, then Stokes
blasted one between Muller’s pad
and the post as the horn sounded to
give Penn State a 4-1 halftime lead.
Temple’s Kim Lambdin and Wor
ley traded goals to start the second
half, then Minzola made it a 5-3
game just 22 seconds after Worley’s
goal.
Stokes completed her seventh hat
trick of the year with 19:01 left
when she ripped a high shot over
Muller’s stick just inside the cross
bar on a free position to make it 6-3.
The junior attacker was clipped by
a high stick and suffered a cut over
her left eye with just under 11
minutes left, but the forward re
fused to leave the game.
“I didn’t know it was bleeding
until the trainer came out,” Stokes
said. “I told the trainer it was fine
and that a Band Aid would be fine.”
As for winning the title, Stokes
said she had her doubts.
“At the beginning of the season, I

didn’t think we could win it all,” she
confessed. “I knew we -had the
talent, but I didn’t think it would
happen.”
But don’t tell that to Temple Head
Coach Tina Sloan Green, who was
impressed with Penn State’s play
down the stretch.
“Part of our game plan was not to
let them (Penn State) get too far
ahead because they run a fantastic
stall as we found out at the end,”
Sloan Green said. “Give Penn State
credit on defense. Chris Vitale did a
good job and they crowded the goal
area.
“Championship play is much dif
ferent from the regular season,”
the 13-year coach added. “We can
tell the kids it’s just another game,
but they know every play could be a
do or die situation. Still, I’m proud
of my team for not giving up and I
thought we could pull it out. I guess
we just did not capitalize on our
opportunites and Penn State did.”
One of the keys to Penn State’s
success all season long was the
performance of Sommers who
had never played goal before this
season when Scheetz plucked her
off softball Head Coach Sue Ran
kin’s roster.
The former Penn State outfielder
made 11 saves in the championship
game.'
“Sue Sommers was brilliant, ”
Scheetz said. “She did an unbelie
vable job. She was better today
than any top collegiate goalie I’ve
seen in a long time.”
