Thursday, October 15, 1992 Lady Lions Take Joe Mottillo The Collegian Mark October 10 on your calender as a history making date. No, not for Penn State losing to Miami in football, but for the Lady Lion's volleyball team hosting their first ever tournament, the Lion Challenge. The Lions opened up play against Noire Dame of Ohio. Notre Dame must have felt like Christians in the Roman Coliseum as the Lions devoured them 15-11 and 15-13. The Lions next opponent in pool play was Suny-Gcnesco. Unfortunately, this game wasn't as "SUNY" for the Lions as they fell 15-13, 13-15 and 8-15. The Lions then moved into the ..cinifinals to play Thiel College. The same Thiel College team that defeated the Lions on September 17 in their home opener. Lightining didn't strike twice, as the Lions won 10-15, 15-2 and 15-9 to move into the finals against a tough Buffalo State IN THE BLEACHERS by Steve Moore lO- ’<J (ft# y « ft.l 1.

The Lions finished a respectable second in the inagural Lion Challenge. For the tournament, the Lions "It was a really competitive tournament. Everybody came in with a chance of winning it." -Coach Jan Wilson recorded 126 kills, 13 serving aces and 23 serving errors. Sophomore Carrie Gr/.eka was named to the all tournament team. Coach Wilson commented on The Collegian the Challenge by saying, "it was a good tournament. It was a really competitive tournament. Everybody came in with a chance of winning it." A key to the Lions success was the changing of their offensive setup from a 6-2 to a 5-1. This means that instead of two setters the Lions are now using only one. On October 8, the Lions travelled to Meadville to play Allegheny College. The Lions, fell 15-8, 15-4, and 15-6. The Lions were happy with the way they played against a tough Allegheny team. Wilson said, "We played pretty well. Allegheny is one of the better teams around." The Lions return to Eric Hall on the 20th to play Pitt-Bradford. They close out the 1992 home schedule on the 24th in a trimatch against Westminister and Grove City. The Lions end the season on the 29th against John Carroll.
