              Lax Wins NCAA First Round
Vol. 26 — No. 24
MAY 11, 1984
BETHLEHEM, PA.
Edged in ECC Finale
Baseball Thrills Home Crowd
Women Stop Loyola, 11-10,
Face No. 1 Maryland Next
It's enough to shatter the
nerves. The women's lacrosse
team, after losing the East
Coast Conference (ECC) title
game to Delaware, still earned
a berth in the 12-team NCAA
national championship tournament, and this is a team of quality and guts.
In the opening round of the
national tourney, the Engineers
downed Loyola Wednesday by
11-10 in sudden-death overtime,
to advance to Saturday's (May
12) quarter-final round.
Senior Terese Cuff (Chadds
Ford, Pa.) nailed down the
game-winner after 1:38 of
sudden-death, assisted by
sophomore Cathy Engelbert
(Collingswood, N.J.).
Leading the way for Engineers were Karen Denmark
(Moorestown, N. J.), four goals;
Karyn Yost (Northwoods, Pa.),
three goals; and Cheryl Miller
(Cherry Hill, N.J.), two goals
and three assists.
Lehigh will travel to the University of Maryland to take on
the Terrapins, the nation's top
ranked team, in the quarterfinal.
In the semifinal round of the
ECC tourney, Lehigh downed
Lafayette for the second time
this year, 7-5. Yost and Sue VanWagenen (Rye, N.Y.) each had
two goals, while Miller, Denmark and Engelbert added one
each. Goalie Patti Lee (Cran-
ford, N.J.) recorded 15 saves.
She had eight stops in the Loyola
game.
Delaware prevailed over
Lehigh in the title game for the
second year in a row, but the
score was not as close as last
season's 9-8 overtime count.
The Blue Hens won by 10-5,
making Lehigh's comeback
against Loyola all the more dramatic and admirable. In the
contest, Yost was the undisputed star, with three tallies
and one assist.
Three members of the team,
Yost and defensive standouts
Sue Coursen (Collingswood,
N.J.) and co-captain Kathy
Zeberlein (Cherry Hill, N.J.)
were voted to the ECC all-star
team. This is the second
straight all-ECC honor for Yost
and Coursen.
Men Take ECC Tennis Crown
Led by singles champions
Eric Galcher (Colts Neck, N.J.)
and Richard Katsoff (Yonkers,
N.Y.), Lehigh captured the
team crown at the East Coast
Conference (ECC) men's tennis
championships, held April 27-29
at Towson State.
It was Lehigh's first ECC
team title.
Coached by Kevin Kopp, '82,
Lehigh amassed 29 points to
second-place Towson's 21V2.
Lafayette placed third (17>/2),
Bucknell fourth (14) and Delaware fifth (13). Hofstra was
sixth (9V2), American seventh
(8), Rider eighth (IV2), and
Drexel last (V2).
Galcher, the top seed,
defeated Gary Schmidt of Hofstra, 7-6, 6-1, to take the title in
No. 2 singles.
Galcher teamed with David
Smith (Middletown, N.J.) to
capture the crown at No. 2
doubles.
Katsoff ousted top seed Rob
Lyles of Lafayette, 6-4, 6-4, to
win the championship at No. 5
singles.   Katsoff   was   seeded
second.
Five of Lehigh's six singles
players, and all three doubles

Regular-Season Champions
Finish Second In Tourney
It was so happy. It was so sad.
It was electrifying and wrenching. Lehigh's greatest baseball
season ever culminated in an
unforgettable series of games in
the East Coast Conference
tournament, at the Murray H.
Goodman Campus May 5-7.
Those who were there on the
final day will never forget the
stunning Engineer comeback,
an awesome Lumber Company
assault which seemed to give
Lehigh the ballgame and the
ECC title; but which was not
enough, as Rider made a comeback of its own in the bottom of
the ninth inning, to wrest away
the crown, 14-13.
THE HEART-STOPPING championship game featured many
scenes like this as the Engineers battled back with some heavy
lumber.
Second Annual Boat Trip To Navy
Annapolis, Md. will be
bursting at its collective
seams on the weekend of the
Lehigh-Navy football game
on Oct. 13,1984. The reason is
the renowned annual Boat
Show which is expected to
draw as many as 500,000
additional tourists to the
harbor.
Therefore, the Lehigh
Home Club and the Alumni
Association are issuing a traveller's advisory—that the
best way to attend this year's
Navy football game will be
via the 2nd Lehigh Boat Trip.
In an effort to double last
year's pleasure (and avoid
traffic jams in Annapolis),
two ships will cruise from
Baltimore Harbor to Annapolis on Saturday morning,
Oct. 13.
One hundred hotel rooms
are now available at the Baltimore Hilton (301-752-1100),
the comfortable lst-class
hotel used last year ($50 single, $65 double). Also, 100
suites (converted apts.) at
Tremont Plaza (call 215-437-
6095 for reservations). . .
$60 Corporate Suite, $70
Executive Suite. The Hyatt
Regency (right across from
our Boat dock) has rooms in
the $110 range (301-528-1234).
Departure is from the Inner
Harbor Saturday morning,
with return by 10 p.m. the
same day.
Hotel rooms should be
booked directly with the hotels, while boat reservations
may be made by mailing
checks (payable to Lehigh
University) at $60 each to the
Lehigh University Alumni
Association, Alumni Building #27, Bethlehem, PA
18015. The package includes
$12 football ticket, round-trip
boat fare, lunch and dinner,
open bar and music en route
home. Call 215-861-4682 with
any questions.
Lehigh fell behind in the title
contest by 10-3 after three
innings, and the mood of the big
crowd at the diamond was dour.
But this Engineer squad, which
finished at 20-9, with a shiny new
school record for wins in a season, never quit all year, and
they let the bats do the talking,
scoring one run in the fourth,
and four each in the fifth and
sixth, to take a 12-10 lead.
The place went nuts. Lehigh
batters clouted everything, it
seemed, to the far reaches of the
yard, or clean out of it. In the
fourth: a home run by right
fielder Ross Brinley (New Cumberland, Pa.). In the fifth: four
runs, five hits, including triples
by third baseman Mike Matto
(Stanton, N.J.) and left fielder
Scott Fegely (Allentown, Pa.).
In the sixth: four runs, four hits,
including two 2-run homers, by
Brinley again and center fielder
Jeff Onorato (Paramus, N.J.),
and another triple by Matto.
The Engineers added a run in
the top of the ninth to make it
13-11, and were within three outs
of grabbing the title and sending
the crowd into pandemonium.
But Rider bravely whacked two
singles and a double, and that
was that.
While they did not win the
tournament crown, and very
likely will not advance into the
NCAA tournament, the 1984
Engineers distinguished themselves as a skilled and determined bunch — all heroes,
really.
It's easy enough to forget, in
the afterglow of the final game's
excitement, that Lehigh got to
the title tilt by beating, for the
third time this year, none other
than Lafayette. The Engineers
thumped the Leopards, 12-2, in
the tourney's opening round.
Jon Mark (Stroudsburg, Pa.),
an intelligent and dependable
hurler, went the distance, running his record to 7-3. Second
baseman Pete D'Agostino
(Staten Island, N.Y.) scored
four runs.
The Engineers' next victim
was defending-champion Delaware. The high-flying Blue
Hens, who clawed Rider, 12-0, in
the first round, were brought to
