Early-Season Rush Gives Baseballers
7-3-1 Record; Carroll Paces Attack
Don McCorkel
(26-2) Led
Mat Squad
Don McCorkel, a three-time
eastern champion from Hershey,
Pa., and one of four senior
starters in the lineup, paced
Lehigh wrestlers during 1976-77
competition with 26 victories in 28
bouts.
His efforts helped the
Engineers, coached by Thad
Turner, post their 25th consecutive winning campaign.
Lehigh won its third straight
Eastern Intercollegiate Assn.
team title and paced all eastern
squads in the NCAA tournament
with a seventh-place finish.
The Engineers were 14-3 during
the regular season and they also
won the annual Penn State Invitational Tournament over
Michigan State, Pittsburgh,
Virginia, Navy, Syracuse,
Clarion State and the host Nittany Lions.
One of their dual losses was a
tough 22-13 setback at the hands
of Iowa State which went on to
take national championship
laurels.
McCorkel's 26-2 record led the
squad. Mike Brown of
Bethlehem, Pa., an eastern
champion and fifth-place finisher
in the Nationals, emerged as one
of the nation's most outstanding
freshman grapplers as he
fashioned a 26-3 record. McCorkel wrestled at 190 or
heavyweight during the season

Hotline Had 31,152 Calls
During Fall, Winter Action
The Lehigh Hotline, nearing
the end of its third year of
operation as a 24-hour-a-day
recorded telephone sports scores
and information service, handled
31,152 calls during the recent fall
and winter seasons.
A peak was reached March 16-
20 during the NCAA wrestling
tournament at Norman, Okla.,
when 16 reports were offered on
the hotline and 4,826 calls were
handled.
The Lehigh Hotline is supported by the division of intercollegiate      athletics,      the
Alumni Assn., and the office of
public information at the
University as a service to alumni
nationally and locally and to
students, faculty and staff on
campus, and other fans and news
media outlets.
Last fall there were 11,993
completed calls for football information and other sports activities. During the winter there
were 19,159 for wrestling,
basketball and other events.
These totals do not count busy
signals or other uncompleted
calls.
13-7 Record For Lehigh Team
Celia Webster, a sophomore
from Pleasant Valley, Pa., led
the Lehigh women's basketball
team scorers during the recently-
completed season with 217 points.
Lehigh, coached for the first
year by Annette Lynch, compiled
a 13-7 record and finished third in
an Eastern Assn. of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women
tournament at Manhattanville
College in Purchase, N.Y.
The Engineers lost their opener
in that tourney to Fordham, 49-45,
but came back to defeat St.
Francis, N.Y., 66-62, and
Manhattanville, 47-34.
Lynch, a U.S. Pan-American
team member in the 1967-68
season and a member of the
Allentown Crestettes this winter,
says   it   "was   a   pleasure"
coaching the squad.
"It was a completely unselfish
group," she explains. "All of the
women had only one thing in
mind, to do their very best, and
they accepted every challenge."
She was assisted as coach by Jan
Dykehouse.
Webster averaged 12.8 points a
game to roll up her team-leading
total of 217. Cheryl Novak, a
freshman from Wayne, Pa., was
the No. 2 scorer with 192 points
and Karen Lelinski, a freshman
from Levittown, Pa., finished No.
3 with 170. Lelinski was the
rebound leader with 197. Pat
Garnish, a sophomore from
Clifton Springs, N.Y., set the
pace in assists with 95 and steals
with 44.
Kathy Benusa, a sophomore
from Verona, Pa., was the
quickest member of the squad
and the leader in field goal
percentage with a 52 per cent
mark.
Lehigh opened its season losing
twice in three starts but then ran
off five straight victories during a
spell in which the Engineers won
eight times in nine tries.
Although failing to top any of
the individual statistical
categories, junior Sue
Woytkewicz of Phillipsburg, N.J.,
senior Sue Sachs, of Stamford,
Conn., and sophomore Nancy
Barrett, of Oreland, Pa., are
credited by coaches Lynch and
Dykehouse with making
"valuable contributions" to the
winning record.
Engineers 3-1-1 After Return
From South; Doubleheader
Against Hens Postponed
Lehigh baseballers, off to a
strong start this season with four
victories in six starts during a
spring vacation trip into the
southland, maintained
momentum upon their return
home with three triumphs and a
tie in five outings.
An East Coast Conference
doubleheader against Delaware
was rained out Saturday, leaving
the Engineers with an impressive
7-3-1 record after their first 11
games of the campaign.
Outfielder Joe Carroll, of
Arlington, Va., leads the regulars
in batting with a .348 mark. Other
starters hitting the ball well
include first baseman Glenn
Troxel of West Lawn, Pa., (.326),
catcher Al Ottinger of Allentown,
Pa., (.317) and third baseman
Rick Piger of Breiningsville, Pa.
(.308).
Ed Scheidler, a junior from
Hellertown, Pa., is a utility man
and designated hitter with a .438
average in seven contests.
Last year's outstanding freshman hurlers, Mark lorio of
Trenton, N.J., and Mitch Smith of
Allendale, N.J., are picking up
the same pace as sophomores,
lorio leads in won-lost totals with
a 3-1 mark while Smith is 2-1 and
the team ERA leader with a 1.47
figure.
Doug Reichenbach, a freshman
hurler from Flemington, N.J.,
has a 2-1 record.
