the year after the RIT match.
They've had some quality wins
during the season."

include Good 6-2, 6-0, Steve
Smith 6-3, 6-3; Keenan. 6-0, 6-
0; Edwards 6-0, 6-2; Stark won

In doubles, Keenan and
Stark won 6-1, 6-4 and Smith
and Joseph Spangler won 6-2,
6-2. Good and Edwards won by
default.
Team's captain Steve Smith,
said,"They were an unprepared
team. Their program is of a
low caliber."
Behrend is currently 2-8 on
the season. Their next outing
will be against St. John Fisher
at home on Saturday, April 27.
The match begins at 12:30

Six rain-outs last week have Lady
Lions scrambling to finish schedule

The Collegian
Noah had better luck.
The softball team has now
been rained out for the last six
games, and with those rain-outs
the Lady Lions will be
scrambling for the rest of the
season to top last year's win
reaxd.
Baldwin-Wallace (a national
and regionally ranked team and
probably Behrend's toughest
opponent of the year),
Westminster College and St.
John Fisher were all scheduled for
last week, but were scrubbed
because of Erie's traditional
spring weather.
Currently, the Lions record is
14-7, and according to Head
Coach Brett Banker, "We would
have to go 6-4 for those
remaining games to break another
record -that's 20 wins," he said.
"We would definately break it if
we didn't lose those games to
rain."
Makeup possibilities for the
three teams are slim. Only St.
John Fisher is able to accomodate
Behrend's scheldule, although a

"America's Challenge in a Changing World"
date has yet to be set. The other
teams, Baldwin-Wallace and
Westminster College, play in
leagues starting this week.
"All things
considered,
they're playing
well. If they can
hold their
concentration
and focus for
another two
weeks, they'll
fine."
Banker is trying to reschedule
rained-out games with St. John
Fisher and Mount Union in order
to increase the Lions chances of
post-season play and another
record-breaking season.
"To show how good we are,
we need to get those games in,"

- Brett Banker
Softball Coach
said Banker.
Last year the Lions went 4-2
for rained-out games. Those two
losses were to Mt. Union.
Today, the Lions, weather
permitting, will play Grove City
College away at 2:00 p.m. and
they are expected to take both
games.
"It's hard, we haven't played in
a week," said Banker about his
Lions. "We have a difficult week
ahead." That difficult week
includes a makeup with arch-rival
Allegheny College.
Allegheny has gone to
regional finals eight out of the
last 10 years. In the two years
that Banker has been leading the
team, they have never beaten
Allegheny.
Allegheny will be a big factor
in the performance of the Lions
in the remaining two weeks of
the season. Days off due to
rainouts are not helping the
situation.
"All things considered, they're
playing well," says Banker. "If
they can hold their concentration
and focus for two more weeks,
they'll be fine."
