That was what Coach Mike Grignol had to say about his team after the conclusion of the regular season. The reason for Gringol's happiness?

The Lions (3-6-1) took a 3-2 lead with 43 seconds left in the second overtime when freshman Ron Peterman stole the ball from a California defender and converted the theft into what looked to be the game-winning goal. The Vulcans did not give up, and tied the score again as Jason Miller pounced on a loose ball and buried it with 16 seconds left to help Cal State (2-9-1) escape with a tie. Sophomores Matt Gallahger (one goal and one assist), Dave Beck (one assist), goalie Ken Gronholm (17 saves) and Kevin Hess turned in particularly strong efforts for the Lions. Senior Michael Mihalke also scored for Behrend. Mihalke is currently the teams leading scorer with five goals and three assists. His 13 point total also ranks him Lady spikers topple Mercyhurst on the road by Mike Lesher Collegian Staff Writer The women's volleyball team travelled to Mercyhurst on October 7 to take on the Lady Lakers. The Behrend girls came out of the blocks quickly, winning the first two games (15-11, 15-13) before dropping the next two games (15-11, 15- 5). The lady spikers recovered and went on to win the match with a 15-12 game five victory. Behrend played well in their first two games, especially considering some of the players were out of position due to a regular player's illness. However, after winning the first two games, the Lady Lions relaxed, letting Mercyhurst back into the match. After losing games three and four and falling behind early in game five, Behrend pulled together and rallied to win the final game. Coach Janet Wilson was pleased with the team effort and desire shown in the fifth game. MIN ......

In the first half, the tandem of Troy Frisbee and Darrin Lupori connected for Cal State's first two goals, enabling the Vulcans to take a 2-1 lead at the half. The Lions scored the only goal in the second half, forcing the game into overtime where the teams eventually played to a tie. Lauffer was obviously disappointed, but was very encouraged by the effort his squad gave. "This is the strongest match we've played all year, especially in the offensive end. Cal State is much stronger than their record would indicate and the opportunities were still there for us, particularly in OT where we were able to dominate territorially." Despite getting outshot by a two-one margin, Lauffer thinks the statistics do not necessarily reflect how close the game really was. "We need to execute a little better, especially on defense," said Lauffer. "But give Cal State credit for coming up big. They kept working and pushed their The bench support was another key in the road victory, according to Wilson. Over this past weekend, the Lady Lions participated in the Juniata Tournament in Huntingdon, PA. Behrend had a rough weekend, losing all of their matches. The Behrend spikers opened against Juniata College, who is ranked number one nationally, and lost. The Lady Lions then lost to Western Maryland (southern region number one), St. Catherine, and Messiah. Coach Wilson stated that the girls had some good moments, but the team must learn to support each other better and help each other to play their best. Wilson hopes the team will be able to "maintain a good level of play and concentration for longer periods of time."
