According to Chris Franklin, BSU president, the program originated with members of the BSU. However, he said that as the drive was publicized, a lot of University students were eager to donate meals. The food drive was held on Nov. 26, the day that the University closed for Thanksgiving break. Franklin said that this is a possible reason for the overall success of the drive, since students were leaving for break, many of them would not have used their meals for the day. Many students donated their evening meals and members of the local Salvation Army came and picked up food for distribution to needy city residents. According to Franklin, the community responded positively to the BSU sponsored food drive. "They were very appreciative. They even sent us a letter of thanks," said Franklin. The BSU may sponsor the same type of food drive for Christmas break. Franklin said that the organization is willing to do anything to help the community and looks forward to similar efforts in the future. , University Reserve Officers' Training Corps candidates.

Ten years ago - Dec. 11, 1986 Head football Coach Jack Fisher turned in his resignation at a meeting with University President Craig Dean Willis yesterday, ending his nine year tenure at the University. "At this time, I believe that it is in the best interest of the football program for me to step down, and hopefully someone else can take the reigns now and keep the program going," Fisher said. Since winning the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) in 1979 in only his second season, the football program has been under fire. "It was a decision (the resignation) he came to himself," Willis said. "He is a very fine individual, and I am glad to have him on the faculty at Lock Haven. I can't say enough nice things about him," he added. Fisher said, "I don't care where you coach, you're always on the hot seat."

Marron, originally from Pennsyh ania, graduated from the University in 1976 with a Bachelor's degree in health/physical education and recreation. He holds a Master's degree in education with an emphasis in administration and supervision from Temple University and a doctorate in higher education and administration from Vanderbilt. For the past three years Marron has worked in North Carolina at Wesleyan College as the director of Student Support Services for the Department of Community Colleges, which supervises 58 community colleges in the state. In order for Marron to acquire the job as dean of student affairs, he had to go through extensive interviews.

Now, on to the next phase Here I sit thinking of what on earth to write for my very last editorial, which is not only the last editorial I will ever write, but the last thing I will ever write for the Eagle Eye, thus ending my Eagle Eye career and closing a chapter in my life. So here I go. Sunday is graduation which means Sunday is the end of my college career, (well almost the end, but since finals follow graduation then I guess the end of finals is really the end) and the beginning of my life in the real world. This leads me to a reflection of my years here at the Haven. Since I arrived in the Fall of 1993,1 was immediately faced with new surroundings, life away from the city, and living in close quarters with people whom I never before encountered. From there I began meeting people, getting into classes and adjusting to life at the University. After my freshman year I switched my major to journalism and mass communications. 1 started out never before seeing a newspa[)er office, let alone believing I would end up spending 30 or more hours a week in one by the time my senior year came around. During the time I was news editor last year and editor in chief this semester, I was sometimes asked why I spent so much time here and why I even cared about the paper in the first place. Working on the Eagle Eye was probably one of the most rewarding experiences I had while I was here for so many reasons, including the hands on experience, the writing exfjerience, and the many friendships I made with the rest of the staff. Even if I had to be here until 3 a.m. during the week, in the end it was all worth it. Seeing people reading the paper on Friday made it all worth it, despite the fact some people said I wasted my time. With the arrival of graduation on Sunday, I welcome the next phase of life I will be going to and I wish all of my fellow graduates good luck in everything they do. To everyone still here pursuing their degrees, I wish you all the best of luck getting to graduation, whenever your gradua- tion may be. I do not know where I will end up at as far as employment is concerned. I hope that everything I accomplished while I was here will reflect on me positively, just as I hope what all of you accomplish will reflect positively on you. To next year s Editor in Chief, Amanda Gutshall, and the rest of the Eagle Eye staff, both new and old, give the Eagle Eye everything that you have got and remember the payoff comes in the experience. Also, you will be rewarded every Friday when you see the student body reading what you worked so hard on all week. And for everyone else who worked so hard on many other things all semester, happy holidays and have a relaxing break. Again, good luck and congratulations to all of the December graduates and good luck to everyone on finals. Heather Lee Longo Eagle Eye Editor in Chief Give a little this holiday season For my first ever Eagle Eye editorial I seeing Uncle Harry (literally), makes will write about something that I think a lot everyone forget why we get together at all: T h e presents. about. It is the holiday season, a time for givNo, I am not a materialistic person.

Oh, ideal can also make you feel good about yourfamilies, no one has Ozzie and Harriet anyself. (Helping someone else is always a more but hey, they are your family and good feeling.) Lately, there have not been what can you do? enough good feelings around. It's time to This week before break that is crammed bring them back and this is the perfect time with finals, will have us all stressing and to do it. pulling out our hair while we are yelling at Another thing you can do this season is our roommate to please stop trying to hang go up into your attic and pick out some of upside down while he reads this history the things you do not even remember book.

You might not want to wear it because it is not of the latest fad but someone on the strc3t who knows how truly cold it is outside needs it desperately. With the many toys that are collecting dust in the attic and ones that your mom trips over as she hunts for the decorations can be put to good use. In many areas there is a Toy for Tots which will take your toys which you have abandoned to dust and give it to a child who may not receive too many toys this year due to financial reasons. Most churches in any area are collecting these toys. Do something useful over break and be a good samaritan. Think about what I said and hopefully act upon it. How would you feel 'f there was no way you could afford to get anyone in your family a gift or not be able to receive one yourself? Try to remember as your break passes quickly that there may be something more you can do for your community than just sitting around and watching Christmas specials and digesting egg nog. Good luck on finals. Have a safe and relaxing winter break and Happy New Year. Amanda G u t s h ^ Eagle Eye Spring 1997 Editor ir. C l l ^ Friday, December 13, 1996 Eagle Eye 5 Opinion/Editorial Columnist voices iier disapproval of "Spitters" spitting It never fails. At least three times a day, somewhere on campus or as 1 am driving home along N. Fairview St., I must be forced to witness a college male engage in a disgusting bodily function. (1 bet that got your attention). Who am I addressing here? The Spitters, that's right, the Spitters. All of you for whatever reason you do this, (whether it is due to the need to release remains of that foul-smelling, cancer-causing chew to which so many of you are so sadly addicted, a buildup of phlegm that must be let go immediately following its conception, or because you are a complete slob with absolutely no regard for those around you who must endure watching your boorishness), must be aware of how offensive this act is to others. The worst part is that the majority of you spit in such a grotesquely loud and noticeable way, that this makes you twice as revolting to look at. Do you have any idea how virtually disgusting you appear when you are doing such a virtually disgusting thing? (By the way, do you do this as you are strolling with your significant other or your mom?) If 1 had a video camera on hand when you did this, so I could show you an instant replay, I bet you'd be so repulsed and embarrassed by your crude behavior, that not only would you immediately stop this filthy habit, you'd do your damnedest to convert fellow Spitters. Watching people urinate or throw-up on I" public sidewalks isn't' exactly pleasant for all • of us bystanders to wit-' ness. And besides,' throwing up unless I you are too inebriated I to know what you are doing, is never pur-[ poseful and always ^ —• ^ — — —• • embarrassing, and as the police blotter often informs us, urinating can get you arrested. What makes you think we don't mind watching thick globs of spit be expelled from your bodies? And for those of you convinced that I am being biased and doing some kind of male bashing here because 1 have stated that all the Spitters I have seen are all male, I'm not. Perhaps there are female Spitters existing who I have not witnessed in the act. Believe me, the day 1 see a female hock a loogie on the way to my 2:10, repulsing all around her, I will gladly address that in my column. Spitters, I will be just as sickened by her crass behavior as I am as a result of yours on a daily basis. I will say something on behalf of some of you Spitters, 'though (pretty much ' some of those of you j who spit because you are so sadly addicted to that foul-smelling, cancer-causing chew). Some of you actually have the Consider This... by: Noelle Daidone decency to carry around a] paper cup or empty soda can to dispose of your saliva in a more subtle way. Congratulations, you may be sadly addicted to chew but at least you have devised a classier method to dispose of its remnants. And speaking of being addicted to things that are foul-smelling and cancercusing, although this is a segue from my topic, I'd like to veer from discussing Spitters to something else I've seen. Memo to all you females who have suddenly become cigar smokers because the trends you are so afraid of not following, dictate you to do so: You look really, really stupid puffing away on those stogies. About as ridiculous as a 400-pound competitive arm wrestler named Big Bad Lou would look if he were to drink coffee or tea from a miniature china cup with his pinkie sticking out. End of story. Now, back to you Spitters, I hope reading this has made you aware of how what you do, actually makes you appear. Again, the key word here is disgusting. The sad part is, that I am certain that many of you are actually very nice people just stuck with a nasty habit. So, stay nice and if you musi maintain a filthy habit, find one to do in the privacy of your own home.

Liberal Columnist expresses views on same sex marriages by Mike Murphy A few weeks ago in the Parsons Union Building (PUB), the Univeristy lesbian, gay and bisexual league (LGBSL) had its annual Straight Talk. Earlier that day, as 1 was in Bentley Dining Hall, I was asked to answer a question from a survey that had appeared in the Eagle Eye. I agreed to do it so I stood in front of a video camera and answered a question about education leading to acceptance of homosexuality and bisexuality. I remembered this later as I wracked my brain for a topic for this week's column. I decided to write about one of the issues that I do not agree with President Bill Clinton. A few months ago. Congress passed a bill that would illegalize gay and lesbian marriages. Clinton signed this bill and it was made a law. I do not know what Clinton was thinking. I imagine that the Republican Congress saw a chance to oppress a group of American citizens and I am sure they fig0 K d that Qi;iton,wQuld s i ^ the bill. After all this was before the election. In a move that only a politician up for reelection wouid have made, the bill was made into a law. 1 believe that the Declaration of Independence lists the three inalienable rights as, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Congress had just knocked off that third one for the gay and lesbian citizens of the United States. 1 did not realize that the Constitution allowed for the government to deny people the right to marry whom they choose. When I was asked the question about education leading to acceptance of homosexuality and bisexuality, I thought the answer was pretty obvious. I think that education is the key to acceptance. Most bigotry, whether because of race or sexual preference, is the result of ignorance. 1 think that if most homophobics were to realize that people who are homosexual are perfectly content with that choice, acceptance of homosexuality would begin. Fa,T too many people view hpniose^f- uals as miserable people who would do anything to be heterosexual. My heterosexuality doesn't make me right, nor does it make me better than anyone else. It is simply the way I choose to live my life. People who are pro-choice say there should be laws governing their bodies. What are we doing by limiting the marriage partners of our gay, lesbian and bisexual citizens. Laws like the one passed that ban homosexual marriages limit the basic rights that we as American citizens hold dear to our hearts. When I make the decision to marry the girl I love, there are laws protecting my right to do so. Why should we iolerate laws that deny gays and lesbians to marry the people that they love, regardless of sex. There is no reason to deny these people that right. The homosexuals and bisexuals of the United States are citizens just like me. They should be given the same rights that everyone else has.

He met up with Walsh, who had played with a joke band called Metal Sniff, and decided that he had found the right voice to front his band. The next to be added to the line-up was bassist Mike Lerro, who had just finished with the Philly hardcore group Callus. Once his hardcore improvisations were added to the mix, the three started working on a few original numbers. Vitality eventually picked up former , . coNFipeMce, Facecrime drummer Dan Mazurk. This addition gave them the ability to finally start doing shows. As the band played the Philly area, their popularity began to grow. They continued to write new songs and began searching in earnest for a lead guitarist. An answer was eventually found in Eric Shields, who had also been a member of Facecrime. His lead style was added to the mix and completed the necessary sound. Vitality aims for a heavy sound, reminiscent of classic metal acts while incorpo- KU^J-IT^ "Hie ~ Of' rating more modern styles. They have been described as, "cutting edge, well-structured, and extremely heavy." The band is currently involved in a talent search that is being run by Philly station WHYY. Despite their lack of marketability. Vitality is enjoying some degree of success. They have advanced to the semi-final round, having already placed third in the previous round. Also competing in the con.^st is Rottweiler. Rottweiler was started under the name Prawn by Ken Scheffel (drums), Joe Koffman (bass), and Jim Waryga (Vocals, Guitars). The band changed their name to Rottweiler and began a rather lengthy line-up shuffle. They hired on Steve Duban as a lead guitarist, lost Scheffel to the Navy, moved Koffman to drums, recruited new bassist Eric Capozolli, fired Koffman when they had to cancel a show due to his late attendance, and hired Jay on to play the drums. As the group prepared for the WHYY contest, they lost Duban, who had been skipping practices. Stu, a friend of Jay's was hired to fill in on bass and Capozolli moved to guitar. In the brief time before the show the band managed to teach Stu enough of the songs to perform. Rottweiler placed fourth in its competition and advanced to the semi-finals. They also kept Stu. Rottweiler has one single out entitled "Kitty Porn". They have been playing the Philly area for around three years. At stake in the contest are a record deal and a TV spot, as well as many other great prizes. Vitality will perform for its semifinal round on January 27th. The Radio Club show is $3 at the doo.

The Haven is riding a two-game winning streak after defeating California University of Pennsylvania in their second game of the Bloomsburg Tournament over the weekend. They dropped another tough game against Bloomsburg in their first game. The score was 62-61 with 1:18 remaining in the second half. Coach Frank Scarfo commented, "We've lost five games because we are unable to handle pressure. It's our Achilles' Heel, because we make poor decisions." Pressure once again .cost the Lady Eagles a chance to beat Bloom, which resulted in a 79-69 loss. They were led in scoring by Becky Peter who scored 17, with Rachel Ebeling also tallying 12. Lock Haven came back strong in the second game against California, winning by a score of 82-68, to chalk up their third win of the young season. Missy Witters exploded for 20 to lead the charge. Witters was complimented by four other Lady Eagles scoring in double figures. Terri Johnson finished the game with 16 points and was also named to the All Tournament Team. Ebeling, Peter, and Meridith McKnight each contributed 11 points toward the winning cause. With this impressive win firmly in the bag, the Lady Eagles came into the game against UDC with only one thing on their minds: a winning streak. This determina- tion payed off. UDC effectively used pressure defense to attack Lock Haven in the opening minutes of the game. "They started up 6-0 on us, and three weeks ago we'd have fallen flat on our faces," commented Coach Scarfo. This was not to be the case on this occasion as the Haven came back with six points of their own and, more importantly, the confidence to overcome the pressure. "We showed good character out there," said Scarfo, as he commented on his teams handling of the pressure. The Haven took the lead at the 15:55 mark, 11-10, and never looked back. Terri Johnson scored 16, as did Peter. Peter led the team with 10 rebounds to complete her double-double. Amy Nickles added 15 points to the winning cause. Witters chipped in 9, and Tanya Jones, along with Ebeling, put in 8. Ebeling also dished out 9 assists. Coach Scarfo was pleased with the effort and progress of the Lady Eagles. "We have definitely been improving. Rachel is looking more for offense. Terri is " streak player, and she warmed up in the second half." "We have always been deep at the post position, and our guards are stat ting to come around. We are dealing with hampering injuries as well as rebounding and pressure, which we are improving on," added Scarfo. The Lady Eagles are also enjoying balanced scoring which they were not receiving earlier in the season. "This is two in a row for us now," commented Coach Scarfo, "We needed this win at home." The Lady Eagles travel to Mansfield on Friday where they hope to continue their winning ways. J^k'^%%%] WHERE CHA lONSHIPS BEGIN X-Mas Special LHU mom, dad, gram, etc...

The LHU Lady Eagles swam hard and placed second, proving they would not go under without a fight. During Friday's competition in the 200-meter relay medley, LHU placed third, shaving two seconds off their previous time. "This just shows how much we are improving," stated Head Coach Tom Justice. Stacey Lebo placed second in the 200meter IM with a time of 2:24.79. Following right behind her was Katie Bonner, placing third with a time of 2:25.36. In the 100 meter breaststroke, LHU tore up the pool against competing teams, claiming second, third and fifth places. Swimming in the 100-meter backstroke for the first time for LHU was Amber Schmeider, who placed third with a time of 1:09.06. Carolyn Labola, swimming the 100-meter butterfly for the first time for the Haven, placed third with a time of 1:13.79. During Saturday's competition. Missy Tandlmayer swam the 200-meter breast stroke with a PSAC qualifying time of 2:40.73. In the 1650-meter freestyle, freshman Schmeider set a school record with a time of 20:12.04, good enough to earn her second place honors. In the 200-meter freestyle, the team placed second with a time of 1:51.78. Capturing two first place spots was Bonner in the 200-meter breaststroke and the 400-meter medley relay, with a team score of 4:34.10. The Lady Eagles' swim team will not have another meet until after the .semester break. However, the team will be traveling to Fort Lauderdale, Fla. over the break to an open competition on Jan. 1. The meet will give the team an opportunity to swim against swimmers from around the country. "We have been really sick and it has kept us from training hard. We are getting healthier and we plan to get in some good hard training over break. We will be training twice a day in Florida to build ourselves up to come back in February ready to win!" commented Justice. Boxers assert dominance r 1 by Chad Forry Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_ The University's Boxing team, currently ranked third in the NCBA, won four of seven bouts at the Second Annual Mansfield University Collegiate Boxing Invitational last Saturday night before a welcoming crowd of approximately 500 fans at the Decker Gym. The Haven's 1996 national champion, Jason Pletcher, at 165 pounds, scored an unanimous 3-0 decision over tough Mike Hensel, Mansfield, in the night's featured bout. Pletcher used a good left jab and superior boxing skills to win all three rounds over the aggressive Henel. In one of the best bouts of the evening, the Bald Eagles' rapidly improving George Conklin earned a tough 2-1 decision over Penn State's Rick Albright. The smaller 5'7" Conklin, 191, used his quickness to slip past the husky 222 pound former Nittany Lion football player. Giving up over 30 pounds, the more experienced Conklin won the first two rounds, but the burly Nittany Lion finished with an impressive third round. LHU's freshman, Dave Fields, 125, won an easy 3-0 decision over Mansfield's Rob McGrath, after a slow start. The rangy Fields scored two eight-counts in both the last two rounds, to walk away with the win. Veteran 156-pounder, Dwayne Hightower also won a unanimous decision over Mansfield's Brian Kelly, 3-0. Although Hightower seemed to tire in the third round, he had built up enough of a lead in the first two rounds to garner the decision. The Haven's 1996 National 119 pound silver medalist, sophomore Eric Elmer, moved up two weight classes to box Mansfield graduate student Matt Schwenck, BOXING 132, in an exciting bout. Elmer effectively counter-punched the aggressive Mountaineer, but Schwenck kept the pressure on and earned a 2-1 split decision. According to Bald Eagle coach. Dr. Ken Cox, "Elmer needs the best competition possible, even if it means moving up a weight class or two. Winning at this stage of the season is not an important factor, but getting the best competition possible is vital." Two other Haven boxers suffered defeats on the 10-bout main card. Losing were Andy Smith, 147, and veteran Tony Penecale, 180. Smith was stopped in the second round by a physically stronger Greg Fielder of Penn State, while Penecale dropped a 3-0 decision to Ship's senior. Rick Dartone. The bout was very close with the quicker Dartone scoring with the more effective punches. Three Bald Eagles, Tony Ward, 132, Roland Kraus, 180, and Kris Dumont, 112, earned victories on the afternoon preliminary (novice) card. Kraus was most impressive in stopping (RSC) Mansfield's Ken Morales with a series of effective combinations in the third round. Two Bald Eagles, Greg Baker, 139, and super heavyweight. Bob Surovec, suffered losses. The Bald Eagle coaching staff consisting of veterans Cox, Ken Cooper and Mike Romanesky, were encouraged by the teams' progress this fall. The team will break from training after Wednesday to concentrate on final exams and resume training again next semester in preparation for the annual "Boxerama" at SUNY-Westchester on Jan. 25, 1997.

Before the match, wrestlers from both teams paid visits to the local elementary schools to speak to the children about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. Lock Haven brought in a dual meet record of 3-0; they left 4-0. The Bald Eagles lost only two matches on its way to a 25-6 thumping of the Cadets. Lock Haven jumped out to its usual 6-0 lead that it has gotten accustomed to with wins by Mike Kusick at 118 pounds, and Terry Showalter at 126. One of the Haven's losses came at 134 when Chad Kime moved up a weight to take on Stein Edwards. Kime lost 5-1. From 142 to "murders row" ripped off five straight decisions. SophomoreBrent Conly started the tirade with an 8-5 win. Mike Rogers stayed undefeated with a 5-3 win over Brad Fenske, maybe the toughest competitor Army had to offer. Team captain Brian Leitzel won by major decision with a 17-8 trouncing. Neil Barnes kept the winning going with a gutsy 3-2 win over Brian Chivers. Barnes injured his elbow halfway through the first period, but still held on for the win. Mike Geurin iced the match for the Bald Eagles with a 11-5 win over David Wenberly. At 190, Kevin Drew dropped a tough one, 7-3, at the hands of Pat Maginn. Maginn placed eighth at the recent Mat Town Tourney. Finishing off a long night of wrestling was Bill Bell at 275. Bell recorded a 6-4 decision to set the final score at 256. The next night Lock Haven traveled to Hershey Park Arena to grapple the No. 1 ranked Iowa Hawkeyes. Head Coach Carl Poff was confident after Friday night's win. "All in all I am pretty happy with the results. We have made a lot of progress in the last two weeks, it def- WRESTLING initely shows because we wrestled a solid match." Lock Haven lost 31-6, but the match was a lot closer than the final score shows. Iowa got off to a quick 12-0 lead after decisions at 118 and 126 and a pin at 134. The most exciting match of the afternoon came at 142 when Conly took on Kasey Gilliss of Iowa. Gilliss led throughout the match and took a 9-7 lead of an escape at the beginning of the third period. Conly would not give up, even though it seemed that he was the only one on the mat wrestling at times. The referee saw that too and awarded Conly two penalty [mints for Gilliss's staling, the last one coming at eight seconds in the match to tie it up at 99. The 142 pound match then went into overtime with Conly shooting in for a quick takedown to end it and give Lock Haven their first points of the match. Conly received a standing ovation for his victory, which pushed his season record to 8-1 and is starting to become a pleasant surprise for Head Coach Carl Poff and Team Lock Haven. The 150 pound match was the bout everyone was waiting for. Two-time national champion, Lincoln Mcllravy, ranked No. 1 against LHU's AllAmerican and three-time PSAC Champion Rogers, ranked No. 5. Mcllravy jumped out to a quick 6-2 lead after the first (period and continued to amaze the crowd with his speed and takedown abilities. Mcllravy compiled 12 takedowns in defeating Rogers 27-14 for a major decision and a 16-3 Iowa lead. The 158 division saw another National Champion wrestler for Iowa, Joe Williams, against LHU's Leitzel. Leitzel who hung with Williams dropping a close 6-3 decision. Lock Haven's only other team points came from Mike Geurin at 177. Geurin won a 10-6 decision to stay undefeated for the season at 9-0. Ironically, Geurin had the only win against Iowa two years ago when these two wrestling powerhouses faced Lock Haven, now 4-1 in the dual season. LHU is off until January 6 when they take on Duquesne University at Thomas Field House at 7 p.m. Track season starts by Amy Yai^er Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_ The Bald Eagle Men's and Women's track teams started the action last weekend, at the Bucknell indoor track meet, going head to head with some tough Division I competition. Considering this was the first meet of the season after only three weeks of practice, the tracksters faired well among powerhouses such as the University of Pennsylvania, Villanova University, University of Maryland, and of course, Bucknell. Lock Haven placed several athletes among the top five in their respective events. The men were led by senior Kyle Waite in the shot put who finished fourth with a throw of 45"0'. In the running events. Senior Ben Steward finished an impressive seventh place in a field stacked with Division I runners, running a time of 9:10.8 for the 3000 meters. Sophomore Aaron Freed also placed seventh for the Bald Eagles in the 800 meter run with a time of 1:58.41. The final place winner for the men was in the jumping events. Freshman Damien Smith leaped to an eighth place finis!i in the triple jump with a bound of 42"1'. On the women's side. Junior Amy Parkes started the ball rolling in the 55 meter hurdles finishing fourth with a time of 8.45. Parkes also placed third in the high jump with a 5"4' jump. In her third event, the long jump, Parkes placed seventh with a leapof 17"1'. Joining Parkes in the high jump was Freshman Betsy Moore placing fifth overall, also with height of 5"4'. Amy Yarger was the final place v inner in the 800 meter run with a time of 2:23 earning her fifth place overall. The Haven tracksters will be idle during the semester break. Competition will continue on Jan. 25 at the Kutztown Invitational. Two athletes honored in region by Brian Ploskina Eagle Eye Sports Reporter_ The Lady Eagle Volleyball team closed out what has been a spectacular season on Nov. 22 in a five-set thriller with conference rival Edinboro University in the Atlantic Regional Tournament. The Ladies lost the match 3-2(12-15, 6-15,16-14,15-8,13-15), despite an incredible performance by Sarah Curtis who had 25 kills and 20 digs. It was the first five-set loss the Ladies suffered all season. Until that match, LHU was undefeated when the game went to its final set. The Lady Eagles had the lead in the final set 8-2, but the teams switch sides of the net when the first team reaches eight points. Lock Haven lost the momentum during the switch, and Edinboro used the break to collect themselves. LHU Head Coach Tom Justice blames the turn around on unforced errors. "We did not pass as well as we were capable of," he stated. Edinboro went on to beat West Virginia Weslyan University in the regional final, but they lost to Central Missouri State in the first round of the NCAA finals. Coach Justice had nothing but high accolades for his squad. A team that finished the VOLLEYBALL I season with a share of the PSAC-West title, and then went on to win the PSAC championship. Their road continued to the second seed in the Atlantic Regionals where they finally lost to Edinboro. "This team has blazed a trail that will demonstrate to future LHU teams that this is a very real and achievable goal," Justice expounded. He added, "We're going to be even better next year." The Lady Eagles' accomplishments have stretched to individual efforts as well. Freshman Sarah Curtis and Senior Tara Newcomer were both named to the AllAtlantic Region First Team. This honor is only bestowed to six players throughout the entire region which hosts over 50 division 11 schools. "I was surprised,"- Curtis pointed out. She added, "The awards will take care of themselves, but I was really proud of our team." Newcomer was elated about the recognition. "It was a nice thing to top off the season," she stated, "I think this team will win regionals next season."
