record at home

The men's soccer team had
tied its opponent on the first
three Saturdays of October. This
trend continued last weekend, as
the game with the Highlanders of
Houghton College (NY) ended in
a 1-1 deadlock.
The Highlanders (3-9-3) scored
first, just 6:50 into the game.
Steve Mauw converted on an
unassisted goal to give Houghton
the early lead.
Behrend countered with a
Mike Mihalke goal seven
minutes later. Mihalke, who
leads the Lions in goals (6),
intercepted a pass and blasted it in
from fifteen yards out.
The Lions (3-10-4) managed
only nine shots on goal, which
disappointed Coach Herb Lauffer.
He thought the team should have
been able to produce more
opportunities from their nine

corner kicks.
Tom Bajus turned in a solid
performance in goal for the
Lions, turning aside 11
Houghton shots.
On October 25, Behrend faced
Gannon, a Division II school,
which entered the game ranked
4th nationally.
The Golden Knights (14-2-1)
played like they deserved that
ranking, defeating the Lions 6-0.
"They have players who are
-mature,-knowledgeable, and who
effectively apply skill to
circumstances," said Lauffer of
the strong Gannon team.
Lauffer felt his team played
well against Gannon. He noted
that fullbacks Tony Viola, Jeff
and Jay Varcoe, midfielder Ken
Crumb, and goalie Bajus,
performed exceptionally well.
Behrend plays its final game
of the season this afternoon at 3
pm with a road match against the
University of Buffalo.
