The Collegian
Since Behrend College was
founded in 1948, we have never
had a women's tennis team
finish the season with a
winning record. This year that
might change.
The 1992 Women's Tennis
team's record right now stands at
7-6, with only two matches
remaining.
The team will make history at
Behrend if they continue to win.
One of their two remaining
matches is against Buffalo
State, this will be their second
match against them.
In their first battle against
Buffalo State, the Lions won.
Most likely they will beat win
again. The Lions other match
is against St. John Fisher.
Coach Dan Gallegos is very
optimistic about reaching the
team's goals. He has watched
his team blossom this season.
Now he expects only the best
Seven out of the eight
starters are freshman. So, the
future looks even brighter for
the team.
This past Saturday at the
Super Sport Tournament, the
Lady Lions placed second.
They defeated Waynesburg in
the semi-finals by a score of (4-
1), but unfortunately they lost
to Allegheny in the finals.
Sports
Bits
He's Back: Earvin "Magic" Johnson
announced Tuesday night in a news
conference that he is returning to the NBA
with the Los Angeles Lakers. Johnson, 33,
retired during the beginning of last season
when he learned that he had contracted the
HIV virus. Instead of giving up, Johnson
continued to workout and he also spoke at
schools, made videos and wrote books about
the HIV virus. He played in the NBA all star
game in February and took home the MVP
award after scoring 25 points, dishing out
nine assists and pulling down five rebounds.
Magic was also the co-captain of the "Dream
Team" which won the gold medal in
Barcelona.
Repeat: The Atlanta Braves shutout the San
Francisco Giants on Tuesday night 6-0 to
clinch the National League West
Championship. The Braves will face the
Pittsburgh Pirates in a repeat of last years
National League Championship Series.
Rating's War: Executives at ABC must be
smiling! Monday night, the Philadelphia
Eagles will face the Dallas Cowboys in a battle
of unbeaten NFC teams. Both teams took
advantage of a bye last weekend and should
be fresh for what might be the game of the
year. My prediction Philadelphia 27- Dallas
13.
Welcome to Houston: Former Cleveland
Browns wide receiver, Webster Slaughter,
signed a $2.3 million contract Tuesday with
the Houston Oilers. Slaughter is the third
unrestricted free agent to sign with another
team this week. On Monday, Keith Jackson left
the Philadelphia Eagles for the Miami
Dolphins and Garin Veris left the New
England Patriots for the San Francisco 49ers.
Does anyone care?: Jimmy Connors
defeated Martina Navritalova in "The Battle
of Champions" (7-5, 6-4) last friday night.
Both players said it was a hard but fun match
and they hope that more gender battles will
follow.
Welcome Back
Magic!
I missed you!
