I THURSDAY, Dec. 6, 2001 PSU fit Welsh's personality From WELSH, Page 12 • Recruiting became so heated that one afternoon Welsh was sitting in a -car in front of her house with Sue 'Ryan, the women's soccer coach at Stonybrook University and someone who Welsh describes as very influen tial. In the few minutes the two 'talked, packages arrived at the Welsh's house, only to be redirected ;to the car. One was from then-Penn State coach Pat Farmer, the other was from North Carolina legend Anson Dorrance. What Welsh decided might say more about her than anything that comes out of her mouth. "I think she didn't quite fit the Vir ginia or Carolina peg," Farmer said. ,"She is a little more blue collar." After a breakout freshman season, Welsh took her spring semester off to play and train with the national 'team. She plans on repeating a simi lar academic schedule after complet ing her senior season, and hopefully beginning a career in the WUSA, which begins its season in March. Welsh plans on returning in the fall to complete her degree in Human Development and Family studies. As Welsh's ability has risen, so have the expectations placed upon her. "You want to be recognized as a threat, someone who's good," Welsh said. "It's kinda something you enjoy and hate at the same time." Part of the reason why Welsh can cope with the pressure of her suc cess is because she has found a com petitive release: vacuuming the house she shares with goalkeeper Emily Oleksiuk and defenders Bon nie Young and Gillian Samuels. "My roommates make fun of me all the time because I get in a vacu uming mood and vacuum everyone's room" she said. Welsh also has more conventional diversions, such as watching Will and Grace and playing shoot-'em up style Video games. • Arrington credits HIT for his performance at football's Prom CONSENSUS, Page 12.

According to Tyler Smith it's the "Energizer Bunny" Sharif Chambliss. "Reef kind of lives his life on Twiz zlers and icing from cakes," Smith said. Tonight, that sugar filled diet paid off as Chambliss used his sweet stroke from the outside to light a match under the Lions midway through the first half. Chambliss hit his first three with the Nittany Lions trailing 15-8 at the 9:09 mark of the first half and single hand edly scored 12 straight points, all on. three-point baskets to put the Lions on a 12-4 run to take a 20-19 lead.

Penn State coach Jerry Dunn attributed this to Chambliss spreading the defense. "I think that when Sharif is shooting the ball well it certainly extends the defense," Dunn said. "It creates not only dribble-drive opportunities, but also touches. I thought we did a good job of getting the ball to Tyler Smith when they had their extended defense on Sharif Chambliss." Chambliss played 31 minutes off of the bench and has seen significant time over the past five games. Yet to start a game this year, many are asking when Dunn will insert the speedy guard into the starting lineup. football program, a component along with coaching, talent, team chemistry and any number of other factors. "I think credit going to the weight room when a team is successful is over done," Mannie said. Thomas came under fire when Penn State went 5-7 last year, yet nobody said anything about him when the team went 12-0 in 1994 and had one of the most pro lific offenses in history, anchored by a THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Penn State guard Sharif Chambliss shoots a three in the Bryce Jordan Center. highest level sides might find more common ground on which to stand. While programs will always follow a dominant ideology, they may begin to splice parts of not-so opposite beliefs. An example is Texas, where strength and conditioning coach Jeff Madden runs an Olympic-style program but incorporates elements of HIT in the off season. "There are good aspects about both," Madden said, "and when you put the two together you get a pretty good fruit sa ad."
