Bob Warming felt the need to
make a change.
At halftime, with his team
down one goal, the Penn State
men's soccer
coach made a

lineup.

responded.
"The guys all bought into it on
the fly, within five minutes of
talking about it," Warming said.
"The shape, they got it, they
bought into it and what a great
job they did in the second half."
The Lions started Sunday's
game against No. 18 Michigan
State with two forwards, senior
Trevor Gelsinger and junior
Corey Hertzog, playing up top.
But after a scoreless 45 min
utes with few quality opportuni
ties and just four shots on goal,
Warming decided to change to a
formation with three forwards in
the second half, allowing the
Lions to put more,pressure on
the Spartans' outside backs.
It took just more than 20 min
utes of second half play for the
change to pay off.

Drexel Friday night, some spe

the Spanier
season
has gotten off to a strong 3-0
start after an 11-0 rout of Drexel,
those guests have been working
to select the architect of the
state-of-the-art arena set to open
in Spring 2014.
Battista said the Request For
Proposals (RFP) have been sent
out to multiple architects and all
have responded with their quali
fications. He said the possible
choices have worked with Penn
State in the past, and all have
experience with ice arena
design.
"We've cast the nets very
broadly to begin with," Spanier
said.
Spanier said the Board of
Trustees Architectural Selection
Committee will narrow the
choices to 12 before selecting
three-to-five finalists to visit
State College and make a formal
presentation. The committee is
made up of Board of Trustees
members, an architecture pro
fessor, a student and representa
tion from the Office of the
Physical Plant (OPP).
Battisa said the finalists will
be notified by Oct. 18. They will
make their presentations in mid-
November and then the board
will decide.
"They've given us their qualifi
cations. Based on their past
work, on their thoughts, and
their philosophies, we'll decide
which one is the best fit for what
we're trying to do," Battista said.
"It's exciting, I can tell you."
A few weeks after the decision
on the architect, the board will
follow the same process again to
decide on a construction team.
Battista said they hope to break
ground in the next 9-12 months,
in either late-summer or early
fall 2011.
Once the architect is decided,
Battista said they will receive a
sheet of programs of features

"They put a few

All three goals scored by the
Lions as well as two assists
came from players coming off the

Smoke makes move
In the fourth race of the NASCAR Chase
for the Sprint Cup, Tony Stewart took the
checkered flag at Auto Club Speedway in
Fbntana, Calif., announcing his presence
with authority. The veteran and former
Cup champion moved up three spots in the
point standings after the win and now
trails Jimmie Johnson by only 107 points
with six races left in NASCAR's playoffs.
As the scene shifts to Charlotte, Stewart
will have to improve on his 15th place fin
ish in the Coca-Cola 600 there in the spring
if he hopes to continue gaining ground on
four-time defending champ Johnson, who
boosted his lead over second place Denny
Hamlin from 8 to 36 points Sunday.
