But standing on the sidelines of the Dallas soccer field, now look- ing like a surface more suitable for a Monster Truck rally than a soc- cer game, was John McCafferty. ‘Attired in rain gear and a base- ball hat, the Dallas soccer coach stood there with a grin from ear to ear, oblivious to the precipitation continuing to fall. “Great day, isn’t it,” said McCaf- ferty. Indeed, it was a great day for ducks, as well as the Dallas soccer team. Just as the rain pounded the field, the Mountaineers pounded the Comets, 7-1, to win their third consecutive game of the Knights draw lessons from week. If two early-season losses raised some questions as to the sound- ness of this team, Saturday's domination of the previously un- beaten Comets erased those doubts. “We just wanted to get back on track,” said McCafferty. “The kids were very excited about playing this game. We usually play very good on our own field and we did against Crestwood.” Despite playing a Crestwood team who came into the game at 5- 0 and fresh off an impressive win against perennial powerhouse Abington Heights, McCafferty didn't overemphasize the contest. They were just another team,” said McCafferty. “We knew that they were undefeated but we also know that we're a good team. We took our chance this game and things went well. We created our own chances.” Dallas got a strong showing from its midfield, led by senior Matt Bailey, whom McCafferty calls “one of the best players in the confer- ence.” Matt Sleightholm led the Moun- ; taineers scoring with three goals. Sophomore Sean Callahan added two goals for the Mounts, who | jumpd out to a 2-0 lead after one quarterand then pounded the nets for four goals in the second quarter to take a 6-0 halftime advantage. Ken Chapple and Joe Ankenbrand added goals for the Mounts while Richardson had two assists. McCafferty also praised the ef- i forts of his defense, led by seniors i Pat Joyce and Andy Flint. Goal- | keeper Pat Scoble, along with de- fenders Ed Schall and Brian Ma- tosky. ne McCafferty is hoping this win gives the peaking Mounts the momentum they'll need for the remainder of the season. “We're getting there,” said J McCafferty, whose Mounts have won three straight since their 2-2 start. “We were absolutely atro- cious in the beginning of the sea- son. But we're getting better. We'll | be there (in playoff contention) at | the end of the season.” volleyball loss to Tunkhannock By CHRISTINA CONRAD Sports Correspondent On Friday, Sept. 25, the Lake- Lehman Junior High School gym- nasium was filled to capacity for the matchup of the week in girls’ volleyball. The Tunkhannock Ti- gers defeated the host Lake- Lehman Knights in a very close contest. The Tigers won the the match 10-15; 15-4 and 15-12. However, this was an example of some of the best volleyball the Wyoming Valley conference has to offer. The Knights, who had a large student cheering section, started off the contest with a 15-10 first game win. The first game had a great deal of long points with ex- cellent plays being made by both teams. Senior Jill Smigelski, dur- ing the first game made an incred- ible play by saving her team twice while lying on the floor. The senior volleyball standout dug the ball and while trying to stand up she Nanticoke By CHRISTINA CONRAD Sports Correspondent On Saturday, Sept. 26, the Lake- Lehman Knights were the unlucky Wyoming Valley Conference team that would have to face Nanticoke after their loss to Coughlin. The Knights lost to the Trojans in a steady rain by the score of 22-0. The Knights were held offen- sively to only 83 total yards and recorded only four first downs in the game. Still, no scoring in the game occurred until the end of the first quarter as dreary conditions seemed to effect both teams. Although the Knights could stop the run of Nanticoke they had a hard time stopping short passes which seemed to kill the Knights efforts. “Their short passes really hurt us, today. We would get the third down and then they would have a big pass and we couldn't made another super dig. The Knights seemed to gel after that play and went on to win the first game 15-10. The Black Knights, did not do so well in the second game as they at one point fell to a 7-1 deficit. Eve- nutally, the Knights lost the game, as well as momentum, by the socre of 15-4. The Knights came out for the third game with a strong 5-0 rout. The Knights saw big hits by both Erin Loftus and Jill Smigelski. Yet, at one point the Knights seem to just “lose it". “We were focused and we were ready,” said Loftus, “but we have a tendency to get down and we seem to have it then lose it and can't get it back.” The Knights let the Tigers come back from 12-5 deficit to win the third game by the score of 15- 12. Although the Knights lost this game they feel they have learned many good things from it. Senior Jill Smigelski set a school record with 13 kills and 12 blocks. Smigelski said, “I didn't even know we kept track of school records like | that. I was excited when I found | out the next day but I didn't even | realize it after the game.” Also, the Knights saw great ef- forts from senior Erin Loftus, Sta- cey Pacalavich, and junior setter Jessica Kenney. “It was a tough loss, but every- one played really well. It is good to lose sometimes. Everyone needsto | get set straight once in a while. We have a lot of things to work on but the pressures off and we can get | into stride now,” Smigelski said. As the Knights look back on the season, they may see this as a turning point. They will most likely meet Tunkhannock again in dis- tricts and with their adjustments | they will be a very difficult team to beat. blanks Knights 22-0 | stop them,” senior Ben Sevenski said after the game. “After Riverside, we knew we were a pretty good team and we could play but we just didn't want to play today. That should change for the next week though. We will get our game plan for Crestwood on Monday and we should know better what we will need to do,” Sevenski said. Senior quarterback Pat McManus offered similar senti- ments. “The defense played well today. And the offense needs work because it is our big weakness.” McManus went on to state, “Today was not us. Today was not charac- teristic of this team. We need to practice with a positive attitude because there is a good chance this team could very well go 8-2 on the season.” Although, the Knights have a lot Noxen wrestling pre-registration Oct 5 The Noxen Strikers will start its 1992-93 season, Tuesday, Oct. 6 at the Old Noxen School.

College Misericordia placed third in the tournament which was held on September 12. to work on they seemed to be able to point out some good things that they accomplished. Junior Ernie Chamberlain said, “I thoughteven | though we lost that Clive | Lankwarden played a heck of a game today. He played really hard going both ways and he had a fumble recovery.” * 1] Also, junior Mike Ruger stripped the ball for the Knights but the offense couldn't seem to capitalize on the efforts of the defense. The Knights play Crestwood, | which is 1-3, away next week and hope to improve their 1-2 record. | The Knights do know what they need to work on and if the team | can pull themselves together and learn to play in any kind of condi- tions they may very well be looking at an 8-2 season. Until then there may be hard times ahead for the Black Knights. Have a student away at school or college?
