Many sports teams usually go
through a phase at least once a
season that can best be described
as a "Jekyll and Hyde" syndrome.
The Behrend soccer squad got
their chance to witness this
phenomenon first hand last week.
The booters dropped both of
their matches last week, falling
to Grove City, 2-1, on Oct. 17
and 3-0 to Westminster on
Saturday. In both matches, the
Lions performed well in one half
but poorly in the other.
On paper, the Grove City
match looked like it would be
dominated by the hosting
Wolverines. Despite being
outshot 14-0 in the first half,
Behrend allowed only one goal,
by Grove City's Matt White 7:40
into the half.
The lackluster first half
performance gave way to a stellar
second half showing by the
Lions. .

Wolverines' Steve Molbach
connected on a penalty kick 12
minutes into the stanza. But
Behrend turned up the heat,
coming back just over a minute
later to score on a . goal from
striker Ron Peterman.
On a breakaway, Peterman's
initial shot was stopped by Grove
City goalie Towle Matthew, but
he scored on the ensuing rebound.
It was the sophomore's fifth tally
of the year.
Despite the Lions' second half
turnaround, Peterman's goal was
all that Behrend could muster, and
Grove City narrowly averted the
upset.
Soccer Coach Herb Lauffer
explained his team's up and down
performance.
"In the first half we played

apprehensively," said the Lions
mentor. "The result was that we
were down 1-0. But we were a
completely different team in the
second half. We just went out,
did not question anything, and did
what we needed to do.
"The penalty kick called
against us was the turning point
of the match. We came back
literally seconds after that and
scored. We continued to press,
but could not get the equalizer."
The Lions came home on
Saturday to face Westminster.
This time, Behrend played a solid
first half, but then lost the
momentum in the second period,
allowing all three Titan scores.
Goals by Westminster's Matt
Barnishin (41:42), Jason Seabury
(30:32), and Mark Williams
(27:17) were more than enough
to drop the Lions.
"We were focused, we were
challenging 50-50 balls, and we
even challenged some balls that
were not in our favor and won
them (in the first half)," said
Lauffer. "We hit the upright once

outshooting Westminster, 10-3.
"We had a good halftime; the
team looked as primed as they've
ever been to go out and put a
team away. I. don't know if
Westminster went to another
level, but they started to
dominate, scored four minutes
into the half and that 1-0 deficit
really deflated us."
NOTES: Lauffer was not
able to attend the Grove City
match because of a hospital
checkup. The club's two
assistants, Brett Banker and Ken
Crumb, coached the squad in
Lauffer's absence. Lauffer said:
"(They) did a good job. The team
responded well to their direction
and leadership. I'm grateful to
have a couple of people such as
Brett and Ken and I praise the job
that they did."
