16 —The Daily Collegian Friday, Oct. 30, 1987 Booters to clash with GWU By JIM DEEGAN Collegian Sports Writer It's basic physics. When two rolling objects collide with each other some thing's got to give. That will be the case at 7:15 tonight at Jeffrey Field when the soccer team, currently rid ing a six-game unbeaten streak, plays host to the George Washington Colonials, 8-0-2 in their last 10 games. Penn State (8-6-3, 1-0-1) will be jockeying for first place in the Atlan tic 10 West Division a spot which is currently occupied by the Colonials, who boast a 2-0-0 record in the A-I0 and 9-3-3 slate overall. A Lion victory could put Perm State in a very favor able position in the division race. "The game is important because it has a bearing on the NCAA tourna ment," Penn State Head Coach Wal ter Bahr said. "We still have a little life left to make it, and a victory over George Washington could help us because it would put us on top in the West." The top two teams from each of the country's eight regions receive auto matic bids to the NCAA tourney along with eight other teams which hold the No. 13 Stickwomen visit Lehigh By DANA PENNETT Collegian Sports Writer It's getting down to the wire for the 13th-ranked Lady Lion field hockey team (12-3-2). And down to the wire means preparation for post-season play. But post season play will not occur if the Lady Lions don't fare well in their regional competition. Tomorrow the Lady Lions will put their unblemished regional record to the test and continue their quest for post-season play when Penn State heads to Bethlehem to face Lehigh University. Although the Lady Engineers are a similar team to Princeton ( whom the Lady Lions dominated in a 6-0 win). Head Coach Charlene Morett doesn't expect the contest to be a cakewalk. "I really don't expect a rout, although it would be nice." Morett said. "They (Lehigh) are a lot like Princeton but they're also a lot like Penn in that their record doesn't truly reflect their ability. (The Lady Lions lost to Penn in overtime earlier in the season 4-3) "Lehigh has a lot of talent and intensity on that team. Besides, they always play well against Penn State. Smaller schools really look forward to playing us because they can try to upset us. And, a team can sometimes play better than they usually do if they're playing a stronger team." Against the Lady Tigers of Princeton, Morett and her team were very happy to finally see a surplus of goals. Plus, unlike in the Davis & Elkins game where the Lady Lions took 68 shots on goal and only scored twice, against Princeton the team tallied 29 shots on goal and were able best independent records, Bahr said. George Washington began its cur rent roll on Sept. 30 when it tied Howard University. The Colonials then reeled off five unanswered wins before battling 13th-ranked William & Mary to a scoreless tie. They then won three more contests before their trek to Happy Valley . "We never played them before, but we know in general what they do, and we think we know enough that we'll be prepared for them," Bahr said. "They're a good team." Lion sophomore Jan Skorpen said the team is taking its schedule one game at a time. "We prepared for this game like all of our other games, - he said. "We haven't talked about ( tonight's game). We know our roles, and we just have to keep playing well, and hopefully keep winning." The offensive firepower of the Colo nials lies in junior midfielder Kenny Emson, a former A-10 Player of the Week, and Paul Boland. Emson has scored 12 goals this season. three of them game-winners, while Boland leads the region in assists with 11. Peter Vermes of Rutgers leads the A to convert six. They hope to continue on the attack against Lehigh. "We really need another big scoring game," senior Diane Schleicher said. "It would help us get our confi dence up for the remainder of the season:' "On Tuesday, against Princeton we scored on four out of ten corners and that was really good to see," Morett added. "I'm happy to see we're finally improving in our goal scoring. I hope we don't stop now. - The fact that this game is against a regional opponent makes it important enough, but it may also be a big factor next week. On Tuesday, the Lady Lions square off against fifth-ranked West Chester and next Saturday seventh ranked Virginia will pull into Happy Valley. Both of these contests will be decisive for the Lady Lions' opportunity for post-season play and a win against the Lady Engi neers will even better aid the Lady Lions. "I think everyone recognizes the importance of this game, - Morett said. "We must win win order to keep our regional standing as high as it is now." - This is really important for us," Schleicher said. "It will be much better if we can face West Chester with an undefeated regional record. But really we can't even think into next week yet. Our first goal is to get beyond Lehigh and then we'll worry about West Chester." Although the Lady Lions completely dominated the Lady Tigers. Morett still has pinpointed some problems and believes there is always room for improvement. "I'd like to see our defense play consistenly and be strong," she said. "We're quite capable of playing great hockey as is proven by our shutout against Princeton." 10 in scoring with 17 goals and eight assists for a total of 42 points. The Scarlet Knights (13-2-2, 3-0-0) are on top of the region's Eastern Division, and Skorpen said the Lions would like nothing better than to square off against Rutgers, which beat Penn State 4-0 earlier this sea son. "We definitely hope to go to the Atlantic 10 tournament and get a chance to beat Rutgers, because they embarassed us earlier in the year," the sophomore said. Regardless of tonight's outcome, the Lions won't have much time to celebrate or lick their wounds. On Sunday Bahr will take his squad to Philadelphia to challenge Temple a team that, under Bahr's tutelage, compiled a 20-10-10 record from 1971 to 1973. Temple is 9-6-1 this season and second to Rutgers in the A-10 East. Tuesday's 2-0 win over St. Joseph's brought the Owls' current winning streak to four, and boosted their regional record to 3-1-0. The Lion defense will have to key on Temple's leading scorer, sophomore Kurt Hausner. t., -, Air ~.. , /p. ; jo iv it !it 0111' 7 %. t.
