TACKLE JIM ROVITO (96) and nose guard Wes Walton (92) held up the defensive squad's
end, pursuing UNH quarterback Rick Leclerc (14). New Hampshire managed just 292
yards of offense, but the Engineers just could not punch the ball in consistently.
Varsity Sports Week
Soccer Win Streak At Three
The soccer team broke out of
a scoring slump with a vengeance last week, defeating
Rider at home, 2-0, and West
Chester on the road, 1-0, to
stretch a modest winning streak
to three games. Now 4-6-3, the
hooters used overtime goals by
sophomores Kerry Remley
(Fleetwood, Pa.) and Rob Kroepel (Southold, N.Y.) to down
Rider. The elder of the squad's
two Remleys, senior co-captain
Jeff, tallied the winner at West
Chester. Freshman goalkeeper
Eric Sejourne (Boca Raton,
Fla.) made 13 saves in each contest while registering the
shutouts.
Perfect is the word for the
field hockey team, at least
against East Coast Conference
(ECC) opponents. The Engineers, looking for an invitation

into the 12-team NCAA championship tournament, ran their
record in ECC play to 5-0 with
4-1 win over the team they
ousted in last year's ECC final,
Delaware. Earlier in the week
they held a powerful Pennsylvania team to a 0-0 tie. Now 10-3-2,
the stickers face Lafayette this
week, before going up against
highly ranked Penn State and
Temple in games which will
decide if they are to play in the
national tourney.
Goalkeeper Patti Lee
(Cranford, N.J.), who made 13
saves against Penn and 19
against Delaware, was named
ECC player of the week for the
second straight time.
The men's cross country team
fared well in a four-way meet at
West Chester, defeating Cheney, 16-47, Haverford, 16-41, and
the host team, 22-33. The wins
raised the harriers' mark to 5-4.
Sophomores John Marian
(Niagara-on-the Lake, Ont.)
and Ed Kehoe (Mahopac, N.Y.)
finished in a tie for first place,
covering the five-mile course in
26:11. Senior Kevin Murphy
(Ridgewood, N.J.) was fourth in
26:47. Freshman Andy Bennett
(Hatfield, Pa.) placed No. 6 in
27:11. Only a dual meet with
Lafayette on the 27th remains

Turnovers, Missed Chances
Open Way To Wildcat Rally
Comparisons, said the Bard,
are odious. Maybe, maybe. But
a comparison begs to be made.
A man who runs a professional football team — one that
wears black and silver and wins
most of the time — once said,
"We don't take what the defense
gives us; we take whatever we
want."
Last Saturday, a team that
wears brown and white and
wins most of the time failed to
capitalize on scoring opportunities in the first three quarters
against New Hampshire. This
unusual lack of killer instinct
proved fatal. The Wildcats
posted 24 fourth-quarter points
to erase all vestiges of a close
10-10 contest, downing the Engineers by 34-J0 before a Freshman Parents Day crowd of
10,500 at Taylor Stadium.
Lehigh's hospitality spoiled
John Whitehead's 100th game as
head coach of the Engineers.
UNH, now 6-1, opened the
scoring on the first possession of
the ballgame, driving 72 yards
in six plays. That proved to be
all the scoring in the frame, as
New Hampshire never got close
again, and Lehigh a) threw an
interception at the UNH goal
line, and b) missed a 37-yard
field goal attempt.
Junior quarterback Marty
Horn (Short Hills, N.J.)
directed the Engineers to the
UNH 12 on Lehigh's first possession, but was picked off looking
for junior split end Rennie Benn
(Short Hills, N.J.) in the end-
zone on third-and seven.
Lehigh knotted the game midway through the second period
when, for the only time all day,
the Engineers took full advantage of a Wildcat mistake.
Freshman tailback Kevin
Stansberry (Mt. Bethel, Pa.)
ran in from the 1 to cap a lightning four-play drive following the
recovery of a UNH fumble on
the New Hampshire 35. Horn
completed passes of 14 yards to
junior fullback John Tamburo
(Baldwin, N.Y.) and 20 yards to
Benn.
The Stansberry touchdown
was preceded by another
missed scoring chance, as
Lehigh penetrated to the UNH
16 only to see its second field
goal attempt of the day go wide.
But freshman Michael Beat-
tie (Danbury, Conn.) was successful on his third attempt,
from 20 yards, in response to a
40-yard three-pointer by UNH.
The game was tied at 10 at intermission. Three times had the
Engineers been within the Wildcat 20 and come away with
nothing.
Make that four times. In a
scoreless third frame Lehigh
again penetrated deep into UNH
territory and failed to score.
Passes to senior wingback Eric
Hunsberger (Schwenksville,
Pa.) and Benn; and runs by
Hunsberger and senior fullback
Doug Ertz (West Lawn, Pa.)
moved Lehigh to the UNH 2,
where, on fourth-and-goal, Horn
was once again picked off at the
goal line.
UNH got off to a fast start in
the last period and took full
advantage of two Engineer fumbles and two more intercept
ions.
