Sunday. Field hockey looks to rebound after loss to Wolverines By Matt Howland FOR THE COLLEGIAN The Penn State field hockey team received a reality check on Sunday when its five-game win ning streak came to a halt against Michigan, which beat the Lions 2- 0. The No. 14 Nittany Lions will look to get back on track against the lowa Hawkeyes at noon Saturday at AstroTtirf Field. The team showcased a low intensity level in last weekend’s loss against Michigan, and coach Char Morett voiced her displeas ure about that level. The Lions came out flat and never quite had the fighting spirit needed to com pete in a Big Ten game. With this lack of intensity a problem, the team realizes it needs to step up the emotion on Saturday. Redshirt junior captain Lauren Alloway recognized the team was n't where it needed to be last Sunday and she expects the team Number of words 12 3 4 5 issue issues issues issues issues 56.50 59.50 $l2. 8.00 12.15 1(S. 9.50 14.80 20. 11.00 17.45 23 12.50 20.10 27.70 35.30 42.90 7.60 Kavii add ! 5 words add 1.50 2.65 lollegian Inc. reserves the right to reject, reclassify or revise ar ad.

Rounding out the back row is to come out much stronger against lowa. “Losing sometimes fires you up more than winning, so I think we have a fire burning right now,” Alloway said. “So we don’t want lowa to a) beat us, and b) beat us on our home turf.” The Lions lost at lowa 1-0 last year, and are 17-23-1 all time against the Hawkeyes. But fresh man midfielder Brittany Grzywacz, who has yet to face lowa, recognizes how important it is for the team to rebound quickly after its first loss in six games. Grzywacz emphasized the importance of staying confident and positive after the loss. She said mental strength is crucial for the team to maintain going for ward. “I think it starts with practice the day before, staying intense through practice,” Grzywacz said. “Then the warm-up needs to be intense from the start all the way through, even in the locker room, Each add'i issue .50 $15.50 $18.50 $3.00 30 20.45 24.60 4.15 10 25.40 30.70 5.30 .90 30.35 36.80 6.45 3.80 4.95 6.10 1.15 DAIRY FARM MILKING.

Send resume: ResumeB62@yahoo.com With Hovington and Molinda occupying the outside positions, it gives the Lions two players with offensive skills that could help the Lions’ struggling flank nfay. “They’re both very good in the attack we’re trying to encourage them to serve the ball more and get more involved,” Penn State coach Erica Walsh said. “That was our emphasis in video and in train ing.” This weekend, the Lions travel to Ohio State and will meet a big, physical Buckeyes team at 3 p.m. in Columbus. Without the 5-foot-ll Marton, the Lions’ defense doesn’t have a ton of size, with the exception of Niness, who is 5-fbot-8. Walsh said the team can’t give up set piece opportunities to Ohio State because it gives the Buckeyes a way to exploit the defense. Penn State’s defenders just staying intense, having our heads in the right spot, and com ing out strong the first 15 minutes of the game.” Morett highlighted intensity and the transition game as two aspects the team needed to improve before the Lions face the Hawkeyes. In practice on Tuesday, Morett had the Lions divide into two teams for a blue-white scrim mage. She felt the experience would help create a game-type atmosphere in practice and better prepare the team for what they would see against the Hawkeyes. “It gets us back into that com petitive mindset right away,” Morett said. The physicality of conference play was evident in both of the Nittany Lions’ games last week end, and Morett said it is likely to continue.

Out. 1 2010: This year, you might be in a leadership position more often than you would enjoy. The responsibilities could feel burdensome, but there are pluses. Be honest about what you want out of vari ous situations. If you are clear, you won't need to go into overdrive. Push easily could come to shove if you are too much in your head. You could gain financially, but use care with spending. Money does n’t grow on trees. If you are single, you draw many people to you. Your creativi ty bubbles up in your day-to-day life. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from a mutual hobby. If you don't have one, develop an interest that the two of you like. CANCER can create a lot of tension.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) have plenty of speed, but it’s limit ed on corner lricks or free kicks where taller players have time to set up inside the box. Fbr the Buckeyes, those players include 5-foot-ll Kristen Niederhaus, 5-foot-10 Lauren Granberg and 5-foot-9 Paige Maxwell. “It’s definitely a key because they are big,” Thomson said. “We aren’t the biggest back line so we need to keep fouls to an absolute minimum because that’s where we can be beaten, so it’s important for us.” While the defense still has some work to do, which Walsh said starts with communication, they do have some help. The Lions’ base formation uses two holding midfielders who play in front of the defense and in essence act as the fifth and sixth defenders when the opponent is attacking.

Going into Columbus, the Lions have been working on defending set pieces after conceding several late comers to Michigan State. Naim said the main emphasis has been on avoiding fouls, but also marking and communicating, which starts with the defense. “We have [Thomson] and [goal keeper] Krissy [Tribbett] and all the people behind me directing everybody else where to go,” Naim said. “I think we’re fine in that department, but we can always get better.” To e-mail reporter: adrso79@psu.edu he wot MU your feelings.
