The men's basketball team
will start the season off today
whith a 3:30 p.m. scrimmage at
Mercyhurst.
Behrend also plays an
exhibition game against Ryerson
Polytech on Sunday at 2 p.m. in
newly renovated Erie Hall. The
Lions defeated the Rams last year
by a score of 110-90.
"It's nice to have an
exhibition game treated like a real
game," commented first year
Head Coach Fred Paulsen about
the meeting with Ryerson.
Behrend has six players
coming back. They include tri
captains Randy Baughman, who
finished 13th in the country in
assists averaging 6.6 per game,
Rick Demski, the winner of the
Gary Borowy Rebounding Award
last year, and Chris Viscuso, who
missed last year because, of
academics. '
Also returning are Junior Jeff
Cowan, Sophomore Mich
Buzolka, and Sophomore Damon
Floyd.
Baughman, who was the
MVP of last year's team said,
"We're prepared to play, but we'll
know a lot more about the team
Sports
once we play a couple of games.
We still have to learn more about
the coach, his ways, and his
philosophy about the game."
Baughman said a problem
with last year's squad was that,
"We became too individualized.
Coach Paulsen believes that the
team comes first, individuals
second. Individuals will rise to
the top with good team play."
While stressing team play,
Paulsen is also placing more
emphasis on thg defensive end of
the court this year.
Cowan said, "We've been
working much harder on the
defensive part of the game, and
this will help our team to get
easier buckets on the offensive
end. We just have to stay focused
this year an both sides of the
court"
When looking at his team,
Coach Paulsen didn't have much
to say. He doesn't have anything
to compare this team with.
Paulsen's main goal is to have
Behrend playing in March, which
would mean the Lions would be
in a tournament somewhere.
When looking at the progress
of the Lions in practice, Paulsen
said, "I'm pleased, but I'm not
satisfied." • • •

The Collegian
Spurred on by a pair of
dramatic goals from Yasser
Daoudi, the Behrend Soccer squad
triumphed over Slippery Rock 3-
2 last Wednesday in the team's
final home game of the season.
The win, however, was followed
by two bitter losses later in the
week as the Lions ended their
1990 campaign.
In Wednesday's match,
Behrend started off strong as
Junior midfielder Erik Filoon
scored nine minutes into the
game on a placekick following a
hand ball call. The Rockets tied
the game on a direct kick from
about 25 yards out with just
under 17 minutes to go before the
half.
That set the stage for a wild,
emotional second half of action.
Midway through the period,
b - ack Tony Perdue came up big
for the Lions, saving a shot on
an empty Behrend net. Goaltender
Les Spear had just made two
saves and was caught out of
position on the play.
With about three and half
minutes to go in regulation,
Lions back Jeff Hockenberger
was issued a red card after he
tackled a Slippery Rock player.
This meant that Behrend would
have to play the remainder of the
game shorthanded, 10 on 11.
Behrend almost folded from
the lack of another body on the
field moments later when Spear
was caught out of his net once
more after having made a save.
But reserve back Benjamin
Appiah saved the day, sweeping a
Rocket shot out of an empty
crease.
The two clubs went into
overtime, but the Rockets came
up big right away, netting a
breakaway score just 29 seconds
into the first extra session. But

the Lions, and Daoudi, responded.
Following a shot by forward
Mike Dalzall that hit the
goalpost with 7:50 to go, Daoudi
picked up his first goal aiming a
header just inside the left post to
tie the score at two apiece.
The teams ventured into a
second overtime, where Daoudi
took matters into his own hands
once again, picking up a loose
ball that had been mishandled by
Slippery Rock's goalie. Daoudi's
shot found the back of the net
uncontested. Coming with ten
and a half minutes to go, enough
time was left for the Rock to
even the score, but Behrend
clamped down to take the victory.
"We put ourselves in a
difficult situation," said Head
Coach Herb Lauffer after the
game. "A lot of times, teams are
down a man and have won. What
made our task even more difficult
was that we became a goal down
soon after that. To our credit, we
got the goals we needed to get to
get the win. To do it against a
division two team was
noteworthy as well."
The last two matches of the
year were disappointing in
comparison to the Slippery Rock
game. On Saturday, the Lions
fell to Houghton 4-0, and then
traveled to lUP, taking one on
the chin, 1-0.
The former game was
virtually over before it started as
Houghton scored less then ten
minutes into the contest, just
enough for the victory. A pair of
scores late in the first half, just
37 seconds apart put the Lions
away for good.
"We made a couple of
mistakes to let Houghton's goals
in," said Lauffer afterward. "On
the third goal, we had our offside
trap set, the ball got behind the
defense, and our goalie (Spear)
cleared it out. However, instead
of clearing it up the side, he

cleared it up the middle. A
Houghton field player picked it
up and kicked it toward the net,
beating Les as he went back
toward the goal."
"We also played a man down
for a substantial amount of time
in the second half, but there's a
big difference between when
you're down by one and down by
three (goals). That pressured us
more and cut down our
effectiveness."
The lUP match was a closer
result. A goal by Indiana with 27
minutes gone in the first half was
all that was required for the
victory.
"They (lUP) didn't pressure us
(after the goal)," said Lauffer. "It
was a case where we played well,
but with a 4-10 record and
playing the last game of the
season, pride has to see us
through. I'm not saying we don't
have any pride, but there was no
desire present to make a
difference. lUP was in no better
mood. They seemed to be content
with just one goal."
NOTES: Prior to the
Houghton match, two Behrend
players were suspended from the
team due to a run in with the
police. One of the players was E.
Filoon, an ECAC all-star last
year. The other was reserve Bond
Reinhardt.... With the season
over, final stats are in.
Sophomore Ron Peterman won
the team scoring race this year,
netting five goals and adding
three assists to finish with 13
points overall. That total just
edged the 12 points put up by
both Daoudi and E. Filoon. All
of Daoudi's points came on
goals, the team leader with six,
as E. Filoon's points came by
way of three scores and six
assists, the team leader in the
latter.
