Men's soccer team must win
final three games to go .500
by Glee Jesteadt

After a great win against
Grove City, the Behrend's men's
soccer team took on Carnegie
Mellon last Saturday and was
defeated 5-0.
"The team played very well
and was very strong in the
second half," said Head Coach
Dan Perritano, "Carnegie Mellon
is a top 10 nationally ranked
team."
The team had very strong
performances by sweeper Brian
Hurley, and midfielder, Chris
Trejchel. "They are having an
outstanding season."
The men's soccer team is
trying to reach .500 this season,
the only team to be close to the
mark in three years.
"If they reach this mark, it
will be a great accomplishment
with the soccer schedule that we
are in," commented Rick Nese,
student assistant coach.
The men's soccer team has
three away games left in its
season (St. Vincent, Hilbert,
and Slippery Rock).
"If we bring a lot of effort to
those matches, play with
composure and as a team, we
should be very successful in
wrapping up the end of the
season," commented Perritano.
As the season is winding
down, Coach Perritano had many
thoughts about the success of
the team and the outlook for
upcoming years.
"It was very enjoyable
working with the men. They
made my first season coaching
here very successful. This
men's soccer team is definitely
pointed in the right direction as a
team and as a program."

NBA(National Bank
Association)- The NBA will
begin this season with a lot of
multi-millionaires, such as
basketball stars Larry Johnson,
Anfernee Hardaway, and now
Karl Malone. Malone received
another contract renegotiation
for the third time in his eight
year contract. This contract runs
for a two-year extension and is
worth $9 million. The NBA is
masking itself as Fort Knox
Bank with all the money it is
shelling out for these athletes.
What will be next? The $lO
million player.
HOT LEAFS!- The Toronto
Maple Leafs are the hottest team
in the NHL. After just missing
getting to the Stanley Cup
Finals last year, they are ready
to take the next step. With a 7-0
start this season, the Maple
Leafs are telling the NHL they
are no surprise this year. If they
win their eigth straight game to
start the season, they will be the

only team since the 1934-35
Maple Leafs and the 1975-76
Buffalo Sabres to accomplish
that feat. To tie the record, they
have to beat the Florida
Panthers at Miami.
GRETZKY vs.GRETZKY-
For the first time in his NHL
career, Wayne Gretzky of the
Los Angeles Kings will face off
against his brother Brent of the
Tampa Bay Lightning. Wayne's
brother Brent was called up from
the IHL because of an injury to
a Lightning player. There will
be thunder rolling in Tampa and
the high will be seeing the
brothers work against each
other. The score of the game
will not mean much to Brent.
Playing next to his brother will
be enough.
HOME FIELD
DISADVANTAGE- In the
World Series with 'the Tan:WO
Blue Jays vs. the Philadelphia
Phillies, the home team is 1-2.

night. Since 1987, the home
teams in the World Series have
won 80% of their home games.
This year seems to be an
exception. In the games the
Phillies lose, they seem to lose
big. In Game 1 they lost 8-5,
but the important thing was
they gave up 17 hits. In Game 3
the Blue Jays killed the Phillies
10-3 with Paul Molitor
collecting 3 RBl's with a two
run triple and a home run. This
series looks like a toss up. Are
the Phillies going to get good
pitching or not? Are the Jays
going to win another
championship? Watch and find
out.
