Playing for the opposite side, junior forward and assistant cap tain Paul Daley was one of the skaters unable to put the puck past the goalie in the first half the scrimmage was divided into halves instead of three periods. He said Hume showed what he was capable of and the team believes in him heading into the season. "We’ve seen him play the past three years and we’re just glad to see he’s ready to go and get the season underway,” Daley said. “We expect him to play that good, if not better, the rest of the way." Head coach Scott Balboni said after Friday’s performance he knows who his clear-cut starter SPO RTS By Brandt Gelman COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER In just their second match of the fall season, the Penn State Lady Ruggers were supposed to face their toughest opponent of the year. Indiana may have been that team, but the Lady Ruggers did n’t take any chances from the beginning. The Lady Ruggers coasted to a lopsided 65-14 victory over the visiting Indiana Hoosiers and showed they are still the No. 1 team in the league. The victory came with Penn State missing a few key parts of the team. Head coach Pete Steinberg was not at the game for what the team called personal reasons, and Deven Owsiany, a senior winger, missed the game with a neck injury sustained in practice. Owsiany said she was kept out of the match for precautionary reasons, and hopes to return to practice at some point this week. The Hoosiers started the game playing a physical style sending two Penn State players off the field early for open wounds. Indiana wanted to pound the ball, and slow the pace down to work in its favor. “They came out with a lot of intensity, a lot of teams do when will be going into the season, something he hasn’t been able to say in the past few seasons. "We haven’t had that available to us the past couple years there's always been a situation where we were splitting goal tenders, ” Balboni said. Right now he’s going into the season with that and if he contin ues to play well it will stay that That said, if Hume falters at all, Balboni said there are three capable goaltenders senior John Jay, sophomore Dan Ivanir and freshman Matt Madrazo — ready to step in and play if need ed. Assistant coach Josh Hand believes Hume’s senior year will they play us,” senior Amanda Mesa said. “When we started to pick up our own intensity we were able to push them back and play our game.” As the match went on, Penn State’s speed became too much for the Hoosiers. Captain Sadie Anderson broke the game open toward the end of the first half scoring two consecutive trys within a minute of each other. Anderson said she was not wor ried about the score of the game, though, and thought that the team took away much more from the victory. “I don’t focus on the score so much,” Anderson said. “I look at how easy the game was when we all worked together. Everyone touched the ball and played well, and that’s what I like to see." Anderson said a victory like this builds confidence for the team going forward. “We definitely have a bulls-eye on our backs,” Anderson said. “Teams want to come here to play us and test themselves. We are the ones who have every thing to lose, and this was a great win.” The second half started much like the first half ended. Freshman Kelsey Corbett was subbed into the match, and almost instantly broke a long run for a try.

Corbett was able to watch things develop in the first half, as she was reserved to water duty. “The coaches were telling me all the things that needed to be done in the second half, so I was ready to go,” the freshman said. Assistant coach Bernie Cantorna did his best to take over for Steinberg, but admitted with a team like Penn State, his job is not too difficult. “It comes from the organiza tion and the culture that has been put in here,” Cantorna said. “Pete relies on his returning players to mentor and teach the younger players. As a team, this group knows more than any one coach.” Cantorna said the team is self sufficient on the field, and added rugby is a sport where the play ers make all the decisions. Most of the team’s decisions are gen erated by Anderson, who strives to make sure the team is always aware of what is going on. “I try to be a leader on the field and keep the team focused,” Anderson said. “I have to make sure we don’t get overwhelmed.” To e-mail reporter: bmgSo94@psu.edu Teddy Hume leers goaltender To e-mail reporter: acbsls2@psu.edu Career 9 .
