Young
By TODD A. MOUNTFORD
Collegian Sports Writer
The women's basketball team is
ready to begin what Head Coach
Rene Portland calls a rebuilding year
after graduation claimed some key
players from last year's 23-7 squad.
The Lady Lions finished 15th in last
season's Associated Press Coaches
Poll and recorded big victories over
national powers Rutgers, Washington
and North Carolina State before fall
ing to Mississippi in the second round
of the NCAA tournament.
This season, Penn State will face
four teams that finished in last year's
Top 20, including Louisiana Tech
( third ), Rutgers ( fifth), Virginia
(11th) and James Madison (12th).
But in order to have success against
these teams and gain their fourth
straight 20-win season, the Lady Li
ons will have to fill the shoes of
graduated 6-2 forward Vicki Link,
three-point specialist Lisa Faloon,
front court backup Vanessa Paynter
and shooting forward Laura Hughes.
Link led her teammates in both
scoring ( 18.4 points per game) and
rebounding ( 10.1 ) and was Penn
State's most accurate shooter. Fa
loon, who contributed 16.5 points per
game, nailed a team-high 34 three
point shots for a .548 percentage.
Portland said that she has had to
change a few things to accommodate
all the young players on this year's
squad.
"We're really going to simplify
things," said Portland, who is enter
ing her eighth year at the Penn State
helm. "It's going to be fundamental.
It's going to be a team that has to be
very, very intelligent."
The returning seniors are All-
American point guard Suzie McCon
nell and 6-3 center Bethany Collins.
Both players should contribute
enough experience to help offset a
very young Penn State team that has
three rookies, one redshirt freshman
and four sophomores in its 11-player
roster.
McConnell pumped in 13.9 points
and grabbed 4.7 rebounds per game
last year while dishing out a nation
leading 11.8 assists. This season, how
ever. the 5-3 McConnell will be ex
pected to complement her
outstanding passing skills and knack
for picking opponent's pockets with
an effective offensive punch.
"She has been told we are going to
need more scoring from her this
year," Portland said. "This year we
have adjusted our fast break to give
her the option to continue to the
bucket. If she reads a mismatch of
numbers, Suzie will not stay in the
point position. She will get herself
into a scoring position. As she goes,
we go.'
McConnell, who played for the
U.S. team at the Pre-Olympic Invita
tional in Seoul, South Korea last sum
mer. said that a scoring role should
not change her run-and-gun style.

"Whatever I can do to put more
points on the board, that's what I'm
going to do," the Pittsburgh native
said. "I like to run, and hopefully
we'll be able to run this year, but I'll
definitely be looking to score more."
Collins was not a scoring machine
at center last year, averaging 9.5
points and 4.6 rebounds per contest.
Her role was that of a dominant
inside player creating steals.
blocking shots and using her size to
keep opponents out of the paint. But
shoulder and back problems limited
her playing time in previous years
and could be factors in her perfor
mance this year.
"I have to rebuild. Right now I
haven't reached my potential," said
Collins, a Stony Creek, Ct. native.
"I've missed an awful lot when the
preseason began because I had anoth
er operation on the shoulder and the
week after that I came down with
pneumonia.
"But I'm really looking forward to
the season. It's my senior year and I
want to go out with the best season
I've ever had here."
The lone junior this year is 6-0
forward Lisa Lambert. She saw some
time as a front court reserve last year
and is a frontrunner for a starting
spot.
Sophomore Tiffany Chill and red
shirt freshman Debbie Harrison are
also in the running for a starting spot
at forward.
The 6-0 Chill became a starter in
the second half of 1987 and averaged
3.3 points and 2.2 rebounds per game
while the 6-3 Harrison sat out with
knee problems. Harrison averaged
20.6 points and 13.1 rebounds in high
school and could add depth to Penn
State's power game.
Sophomores Shelly Caplinger, who
had 12 starting assignments a year
ago and Liz Henson, a State College
Intermediate High School graduate,
will battle for the other starting
guard spot opposite McConnell.
Caplinger combines outside shoot
ing and good passing ability in the
back court, while Henson, as a walk
on last year, appeared in 10 games.
