Goodbye: Los Angeles
Lakers guard Magic Johnson has
called it quits once again. This
time he cited rumors about how
he acquired the AJODS virus and
concern from other players as the
reason for retiring. He said, "the
various controversies surrounding
my return are taking away from
both basketball as a sport and the
larger issue of living with HIV
for me and the many people
affected.” J wish Magic good luck
and as a fan I can't believe that
the Bird-Magic era is really ever.

Athlete of the Week
Fiorelli
‘Defends’
Soccer Team
by Keith McFall
The Collegian
This week's Athlete of the
Week is Marc Fiorelli, a
standout defender on the mens
soccer team.
Marc is a third semester
elementary education major
from right here in Erie. He
attended McDowell High School
and played three years on his
high school team.
Marc has started both years at
Behrend as a defender. "Marc
has improved ten fold since his
freshman year. He has all the
ingredients that a coach wants in
a player," said soccer coach
Dennis Grace.
Marc had two assists and no
goals this year, but goals are
uncommon for defenders. "A
lot of things he does in matches
ordinary fans don't notice. He
could play anywhere, but we
need him most at defender. I
don't need miracle workers or
Sports
superstars, I need hard workes,
and he’s a hard worker," said
Coach Grace.
Marc doesn't mind not getting
the recognition that forwards and
midfielders get though. "1 like
to defend because you see
everything better, and you can
tell players in front of you what
they need to do," he said.
The original goal set by Marc
and the team this year was to
have a winning season. But
when that goal couldn't be
achieved he just wanted to
improve each game. "A couple
of matches we should have won,
but didn't, and that may have
brought us over the 500 mark,"
he said.
Another goal he set was to
work together better with the
other players this year. "We
communicated and played a lot

off-season

On October 29, the Lady Lions
walked off the court for the last
time this season. At John
Carroll University, the Lions
suffered a 3-15, 4-15, 8-15 loss
to put their final record at 11 -23.
The loss to John Carroll was
nothing to be ashamed of as
Carroll posted a 32-1 record and
was ranked in the top ten of their
region.
"They (John Carroll) were one
of the toughest teams we faced all
season," said Coach Jan Wilson
after the match.
The Lions will lose three
seniors from this season's team.
They are Lori Nadolny, Pam
Allshouse, and Pam Torrclli.
Wilson said, "It's going to be
hard to replace those three
seniors.”
