Lions
Hal Coffe
The Collegian
Entering her twelfth season as
Women's Head Volleyball coach,
Jan Wilson takes on the task of
modeling a young, inexperienced
team into a well-seasoned,
competitive one.
On the eighth, the Lions
traveled to Buffalo to take on
Buffalo State. The Lions lost the
first game 15-10. Buffalo State
won the next two games, 16-14
to take the match in three straight
games. The Lions wouldn't quit,
but couldn't overcome the deficit.
The Lady Lions opened their
season on the fourth, at the Red
Dragon Classic in Cortland. The
Lions met Nazareth College in
the opener of pool play. The
team played well, but fell short
losing in straight games. The
next opponent in pool play was
SUNY-Binghampton.
Although the opponents were
different, the results ended up the
same. The final opponent in pool
play was Alfred University. The
Lions battled, but weren't as
fortunate as they hoped. They fell
in straight games.

Rebuilding
In the first round of the
consolation round, the Lions
earned a bye. The opponent in the
second round was the same
Nazareth College team that
defeated the Lions earlier.
Unfortunately, the results were
the same as the first match.
The Lions returned from
Cleveland winless, yet played
well in all of the matches. They
played each team in just under
three hours and had some long
rallies in each game. Coach
Wilson said that there was a good
team effort in all the games and
the team showed a lot of spirit.
The goal of any athletic team
is to have a winning season. For
the Lions, it is no different. They
would like to achieve a winning
season and also gain experience
for the younger players.
Coach Wilson commented that
she would like to "use this year
as a building year." She wants to
get the younger players some
experience and let them have a
look at what college ball is all
about. She also wants the team
to develop their ball handling
technique.

The Collegian
team are seniors Pam Allshouse
and Pam Torrelli. Both have
provided valuable leadership for
the growing team. Unfortunately,
Allshouse has been hampered by
a knee injury and has had to sit
out recent practices. She hopes to
play in the Oberlin Tournament.
The team has five freshmen.
Coach Wilson feels that Jen
Spencer and Julie Jeodeer will
both help a lot. Spencer, said
Coach Wilson, has a good
attitude and has the advantage of
coming from a good high school
program.
Wilson said the other three
freshmen, Kim Ziner, Maureen
Wojtowecz and Dodie Cornell,
help a lot in practice and also
have good attitudes, but Wilson
thinks they need a little more
experience.
With no juniors on the team,
the sophomores must step up and
take some rule of leadership.
Carrie Gzedjlca, Amy
Stranahan, and Susan Stearns
have all found time in the line up
at some point or another and have
played well.
