rebounds. • -
According to Coach Doug
Zimmerman, the reason'Behrend's
point production decreased is
because several new defenseg Were
being tested. These-new-defensive
adjustments made it tough for the
high-scoring Behrend offense to
get on track.
- Overall, Zimmerman said that
he was fairly happy with his
teams' performance. He
mentioned that there are some
minor areas needing to be worked
on for the offense, and the team
will continue to work_on its
defense.

rebounds. The Cubbies opened
the game 'quickly ; jumping out to
a 15-0 lead and they never looked
back as they disposed of the

but the defense ' allowed Pitt-
Bradford back into the Vine.
."The Pit" was packed again as
