Jeffrey stands out
By Matt Brown
COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER I mdbsoB2@psu.edu
Fresh off Sunday night's win against Buck
nell, Zoe Bouchelle paused and looked around
to soak in the setting at Jeffrey Field.
"It's the most beautiful facility in the coun
try" she said.
While most teams feel more comfortable
playing at home than on the road, the Penn
State women's soccer team makes it a point of
emphasis to defend the tradition of its home
turf.
"It's such an honor to be able to play here,"
Bouchelle said. "It's just special to us. It's kind
of something that's been built up over history
with the teams that have come in the past. It's
tough to be flawless, but that's what we're striv
ing to do."
After winning the first game of the year on
the road against William & Mary, the Lions
returned home and lost their first home match
of the year against No. 4 Florida State, 4-1. It
was their first defeat in a home opener since
2002.
With the loss, the Lions will have to be per
fect through the rest of the home slate to avoid
being the first squad since the 2003 expansion
of Jeffrey Field to lose more than one home
game in a season.
The next three games are away from home,
as two games will be played in Connecticut
before traveling to James Madison. When the
Lions return to their home field Sept. 21, they
will face a test against No. 5 Notre Dame.
"When we drive by every time we come
home, we're like, 'I can't wait to be on Jeffrey,' "
junior defender Maura Ryan said. "Everybody
gets so excited when the bus drives by when we
come back from an away trip."
Last week, the Lions moved to new practice
fields at the former site of the Penn State
baseball field. Ryan said the move is a "tease"
because of how close to their home field they
are now practicing.
The 2003 expansion of Jeffrey Field saw the
addition of a new press box and 1,500 seats, giv
ing it a capacity of 5,000.
A new natural grass playing surface was also
installed, and in 2006, the Sports Turf Managers
Association named it the collegiate soccer field
of the year.
"I've never played on a field that's as nice as
Jeffrey," Ryan said. "It's like a carpet. And just
the mentality that we bring when we come on
Jeffrey is unlike when we go anywhere else.
People are jealous that this is our home field."
Since the expansion, the Lions hold a record
of 59-4-2 at home, with 50.8 percent of the
games ending in Penn State shutouts. In 2004,
the Lions allowed just three goals at home in 10
Federer wins U.S. Open
By Howard Fentrich
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
NEW YORK No matter what anyone else
said or thought, Roger Federer knew he was
still capable of elite tennis.
Knew he was still capable of winning Grand
Slam titles. Knew he was still Roger Federer.
Back at his best, back at the top of tennis,
Federer easily beat Andy Murray 6-2, 7-5, 6-2
Monday to win his fifth consecutive U.S. Open
championship and 13th major title overall.
Federer is the first man since Bill Tilden in
the 1920 s to win the tournament that many
times in a row. He also moved within one major
championship of tying Pete Sampras' career
record of 14.
The victory might have come as a bit of a
relief to Federer, who has struggled during a
lackluster-only-for-him season. He lost in the
semifinals at the Australian Open, and to
nemesis Rafael Nadal in the finals of the
French Open and Wimbledon, meaning Feder
er was on the verge of his first year since 2002
without a major title.

games, with two of the goals coming in NCAA
tournament matches.
Junior forward Katie Schoepfer said the
upperclassmen make sure that each year's
freshman class is made aware of the home tra
dition and that the tradition is passed down
from year to year.
"We don't lose at Jeffrey, and we protect Jef
frey," Schoepfer said. "It's special here, and we
all have such pride at how we play here. And
we all have such pride in our home."
On Monday, Murray stood about 10 feet
behind the baseline to return serves, exactly
the way he did in upsetting Nadal in their two
day, rain-interrupted semifinal over the week
end.
At only one juncture did Murray really throw
a scare into his opponent on this day, taking 11
of 12 points to go from 2-0 down in the second
set to 2-all and love-40 on Federer's serve.
Federer saved the first of those break points,
and on the second, they engaged in a 14-stroke
rally that ended with Murray missing a back
hand. TV replays, though, showed one of Feder
er's shots during the rally should have been
called out and had it been, Murray would
have had a break and a 3-2 lead in the set.
In the next game, Murray began flexing his
right leg, clutching at that knee and looking up
at his substantial support group.
Federer went on to break Murray at love in
the last game of the second set, closing it on a
10-stroke point that was a thing of beauty. First,
Federer extended the point with some superb
defense, and then he ended it with a forehand
passing winner.
