by Tony Viola
Collegian Staff Writer
Bchrend played its final home
game of the season Saturday
night, and this contest would be
the last at home for seniors Mike
Colucci and Dave Gurska.
"It prepares you for life and
any challenges you have to face,"
replied Colucci as he commented
on his basketball experiences.
Gurska reflected on his career
by saying, "Playing basketball
has taught me how to work well
with others.”
Gurska also believes that
Behrend has the right captain
guiding the Lions' ship. "Coach
Zimmerman has the program
going in the right direction. We
had a lot of trouble with people
quitting or we would have done
much better."
Freshman starting center
Steve Cooper said, "It was an
experience playing with excellent
players like Dave Gurska and
Mike Colucci." Cooper also
added, "It's going to be tough to
find someone to fill their
positions."
That fact was obvious in
