Amy was racing down the right sideline, as she so often does, drawing a penalty corner w'hen Syracuse's Nicole Nelson knocked her off the ball. used to the atmosphere Penn State provides because, at Shady Side Academy in Pittsburgh, there was not a large wrestling follow ing. Martellotti'.s fast start set the pace for the team which won three of the first five matches before halftime, including pins by fresh men Andrew Alton and David Tavlor. Before Alton look the mat Penn State trailed Lehigh. 4-5. but Penn State took the lead for good 1:21 later after Alton pinned Lehigh freshman Stephen Dutton on a lightning quick reverse move. "He is obviously gifted,” Sanderson said of Alton. "He has great skills, which make things look so easy for him. He's going to be a lot of fun the rest oi the year." Alton wrestled with a purpose on Sunday as a large contingency from his hometown in Mill Hall made the trip to watch him wres tle.

Amy jumped up to defend her self but did not physically retali ate. As expected Nelson earned a red card for her actions, however the official wasn’t finished dishing out the punishment. To the sur prise of coach Char Morett and the Penn State faithful in the stands, Amy also received a red card, kicking both players out of the game and the winning team’s player for the following game Sunday. The official’s decision left the Lions shorthanded. But even with out the Big Ten’s third-leading goal scorer, Morett said she was proud of the way her team battled. Taylor said he was inspired by Alton’s performance as he took the mat. He said he normally starts to warm up right around the 141- pound match, which is Alton’s weight class. The two freshmen train togeth er and know they will both play an intricate role for the Nittany Lions this season. "I was talking to Andrew before the match,” Taylor said. "We both knew we would have to get bonus points for the team in what would be a close match.” Taylor pinned his opponent, senior Sean Bilodeau, in 3:33, and proceeded to walk across the entire mat waving his arms to pump up the crowd, prompting everyone in attendance to give Taylor a standing ovation. Sanderson said Taylor brings a lot of fire and enthusiasm with him, which pumps up the entire team. "For the last year I have been thinking about my first home match,” Taylor said. “And it could not have gone any better. To final ly get out there and get that pin, it was just the perfect moment.” Penn State took a 15-7 lead into the half, and hoped to ride the momentum Taylor provided through the rest of the match. As the match progressed into the higher weight classes, Penn State began to struggle losing each of the last three matches. Bowel's “I couldn’t ask any more of this team, they just fought so hard." Morett said. “We had to convert on the opportunities we had. but I think we were just running out of gas a little bit." The team was just as surprised as Morett when it found out it would be without the services of its leading scorer, but senior cap tain Daneen Zug said the Lions had to refocus if they wanted to have any chance of winning “I was obviously very upset that Kelsey wouldn't be on the iieid for the rest of the game." Zug said. “But I knew that we couldn't lose our heads. As a team we had to come together and realize we're down a player, but so are they." As they buckled down in an adjustment to their new game plan, the Lions fought off multiple Redshirt sophomores Justin Ortega and No. 3-ranked 154 pounder Quentin Wright were unable to defeat their opponents, losing 8-0 and 4-3. respectively No 9 Junior Cameron Wade fell in overtime to Lehigh junior Zach Rey, the No. 1 -ranked heavyweight in the country! in one of the most anticipated matches of the day While Penn State will look toward finishing matches Frank Martellotti (right) .r §(B(B ii.
