Lammey, Anselmo Big
Ten Players of Week
Penn State field hockey players
made a clean sweep for the "Big
Ten Player(s) of the week" award
for the week of October 27th.
Senior forward Dawn Lammey
and Sophomore sweeper Traci
Anselmo respectively chalked up
offensive and defensive players-of
the-week. Lammey, the leading
scorer in the Big Ten with 49
points, had already earned offen
sive player-of-the-week the honors
this season twice before. In the
past week she tallied a goal and
two assists in crucial victories for
the No. 7 Lady Lions over Michigan
and Michigan State.
Anselmo is the first Lion defend
er to win the award this season.
She helped a stingy Lion defense
hold Michigan and Michigan State
to a combined total of one shot in
the first halves of those games and
one goal in each. Anselmo also
blasted the game-winning goal
against the Wolverines on a penalty
corner attempt.
The Lions (13-4) travel to
Philadelphia tonight to take on
Penn in non-conference action.

Potteiger successfully fills
By GEOFF DODD
Collegian Staff Writer
As time was winding down for
the Penn State men’s soccer team in
its 1-0 victory over Michigan State
last Sunday afternoon at Jeffrey
Field, midfielder Derek Potteiger
took an elbow to the face.
Immediately, the student athletic
trainers took him under their care.
After several minutes of fumbling
with his stubborn bloody nose, they
cleared him to return to the game.
Everything remained mostly the
same, except Potteiger was forced
to endure the humiliation of playing
with two rolls of cotton stuffed up
his nose. He played the elbow off as
completely unintentional, and the
ensuing cotton balls as somewhat
embarrassing, but simultaneously
humorous.
Embarrassing, however, is not
what one would dare call the rest of
Potteiger’s freshman season. Since
coach Barry Gorman called upon
him to fill the role of defensive mid
fielder early in the season,
Potteiger has been nothing short of
outstanding.
“He is to be congratulated on
starting all the games,” Gorman
said. “He’s playing a big part in our
midfield role. We are usually look
ing for older, more experienced
players to fill that role. But for a
freshman to come in and fill that
role, and on a consistent basis, is
commendable.”
Actually, that position was left
open for Potteiger when another
standout freshman from last sea
son, Pete Shellenberger, went down
Dawn Lammey
three-time player of the week
The Steelers and Browns’ rivalry
known as the Tbrnpike Series
was one of the NFL’s longest and
most competitive until the former
Browns moved to Baltimore in
1996 and were renamed the
Ravens.
The Browns will rejoin the NFL
next season as an expansion team,
and Rooney thinks it would be a
natural if they played the Steelers
in their first game.
But he’s not optimistic, noting
the Steelers played in Kansas City
on Monday for the third consecu
tive season.
“That’s up to the league,” Rooney
said. “I don’t know how they make
the schedule. But they weren’t too
imaginative to bring us (to Kansas
City) three years in a row.”
The Steelers may have picked up
some fans during the Browns’ hia
tus, as most Pittsburgh games are
now televised in Cleveland.

with an injury in an exhibition
game against North Carolina. Since
then, Potteiger has scored two goals
to lead all true freshmen. More
importantly, however, has been his
defensive presence backing up
senior forward Jon McClay.
Potteiger is quick to point out
that the upperclassmen on the team
have been extremely influential in
his development as a Div. I-level
player. He reserves most of the
credit for McClay, though, when it
comes to his development as a mid
fielder.
“I’ve played (defensive midfield
er) before,” Potteiger said, “but I
usually play attacking midfielder
where Jon McClay is. I felt that I
could learn a lot from his skill and
what he brings to the experience.”
The defensive midfielder posi
tion, although not totally foreign to
Potteiger, was a change of pace
from his days at Cumberland Valley
High School.
In his four years as a starter
under coach Jim Smith, he devel
oped from a small, mostly naive
youngster into one of the smartest,
quickest, most sought-after talents
in Pennsylvania.
Surprisingly enough, Potteiger
hasn’t spent his whole life sleeping
with a soccer ball. Had it not been
for a trip his parents took as teach
ing missionaries to Africa from
August 1984-85, he might have cho
sen another path.
Instead, while living in
Zimbabwe for a year, he gradually
picked up the game from the
natives. At the same time every
day, he would watch them kick

Arena named coach of
national soccer team
NEW YORK (AP) Bruce Arena
promises a shakeup of the U.S. soc
cer team: The old players are out,
and look for lots of new faces the
next two years.
“We have to get as many young
players in the mix early and see
how they adapt to international
soccer,” Arena said yesterday after
receiving a four-year contract to
coach the United States. “These
players lack international experi
ence, but they don’t lack ability.”
Arena replaces Steve Sampson,
Eric Wynalda, Alexi Lalas and
Marcelo Balboa have slowed
with age and suitable replacements
have yet to appear.
Only at goalkeeper, where the
United States has Leicester’s
Kasey Keller and Liverpool’s Brad
Friedel, is the American team
strong.
“We need solid defenders,”
Arena said. “We need help in the
midfield. We need help up front.”
Arena led D.C. United to champi
onships in 1996 and 1997 and the
1998 MLS final last weekend.
Arena set two goals for the team:
Qualify for the 2002 tournament
and then try to get out of the first
round.
Bob Contiguglia, who in August
replaced Alan Rothenberg as the
U.S. Soccer Federation president,
wanted an American to succeed
Sampson, the first American-born
coach to lead a U.S. team at the
World Cup.

defensive role
around a Wiffle ball, using fancy
footwork and quickness to wow the
amazed American.
“We lived in a really poor town,”
Potteiger said. “I had the only ball
in town. The footwork and the skill
were unbelievable. It was just the
little things they did. I didn’t know
any of their names. Different peo
ple just came over everyday at the
same time.”
Between his sophomore and
junior years of high school, he
joined the Pennsylvania Olympic
Development Program to enhance
his skills. There, he competed with
the best athletes from other states
such as Maryland, New Jersey,
New York and Delaware.
During his junior and senior sea
sons, he was recruited by a variety
of prestigious programs including
Ohio State, Notre Dame, Clemson,
Marist and Lehigh. His decision to
come to Penn State was based on
what he called a “perfect mix of
athletics, academics and social
life.”
“He was just really impressed
with the facilities and the coaching
there,” his father, Gary Potteiger,
said. “I never really sat down with
Derek and told him what to do. I
trusted Derek to make a good deci
sion.”
So far, Potteiger has not let his
father down, molding into a stand
out player in just his first year
under Gorman.
Whether or not he is destined for
super-stardom has yet to be deter
mined, but at the rate he’s going, it
doesn’t look at all like a stretch of
the imagination.
