Cagers Capture Five Straight
Matmen Face Nation's Iron
By JOHN MISSIMER '85
On the eve of its most difficult
western swing in history, the
wrestling team thumped Michigan, 26-18, before 1,250 in
Stabler Center.
Two days earlier the
grapplers weren't as fortunate,
as the Badgers of Wisconsin
invaded Stabler and handed
Thad Turner's team its first
loss, 19-14.
Prior to the Christmas recess,
the Engineers manhandled Tennessee, 43-8, before a near-
capacity crowd of 2,650 in Grace
Hall.
After looking sluggish against
Wisconsin, the team looked
very sharp in defeating
Michigan.
After freshman Rick Hartman (Lakewood, Ohio) was outpointed, 14-1, at 118 pounds,
senior Mike Price (Blooms-
bury, N.J.) put the Brown &
White on the board with a 10-0
major decision over John
Moore.
Juniors Jim Frick (Columbia,
N.J.) and Peter Yozzo (Sayville, N.Y.) and senior C.J.
Mears (No. Canton, Ohio)
recorded consecutive technical
falls to put the Engineers on top,
22-5.
Senior captain Paul Diekel
(Whitehall, N.Y.) was the only
other Lehigh wrestler to win,
posting a 13-3 decision over
Scott Rechsteiner, but the damage had already been done.
Perhaps the evening's only
disappointment came at heavyweight, where Bernie Brown
met 1985 NCAA runner-up Kirk
Trost. Last year in the dual
meet at Ann Arbor, Brown lost,
7-6, in the last 10 seconds, and
many of the fans were looking
for the Bethlehem native to gain
revenge.
But it was not in the cards.
Trost took Brown down to the
mat in the first period, and went
on to win easily, 11-3.
Wisconsin employed a deliberate style to hand the
grapplers their first loss in a
very uneventful match.
Even the premier bout,
between Lehigh's All-American
Peter Yozzo and 1985 NCAA 134-
pound champion Jim Jordan,
didn't live up to expectations.
The two appeared to respect
each other's abilities so much
that each was reluctant to really
tie it up. The bout ended in a 4-4
draw.
The bright spot for the Engineers was Eyvind Boyesen
(Kempton, Pa.) at 177 pounds.
Boyesen posted an 8-7 victory
over Ralph Liegel, who had
been ranked as high as 4th by
the National Mat News.

VERNON DOSWELL (11) brings the ball upcourtonafast
break as Daren Queenan (12) trails. Doswell, noted for his
defensive play has provided the Engineers with an extra
offensive punch.
Other winners were Mears at
150, Diekel at 190, and Brown at
heavyweight.
Against Tennessee the mat-
men dropped two of the first
three bouts, but Yozzo got the
ball rolling with a 20-7 win over
Buzz Winchesky and the team
captured the last seven bouts to
cruise to the 43-8 win.
Price, Chad Watkins (Ocean,
N.J.), and Boyesen all had falls,
and Brown won by a technical
fall.
Kerry Ritrievi (Levittown,
Pa.) and Diekel chipped in with
superior decisions, and Mears
added a major decision to wrap
up the scoring.
NOTES: The team now
embarks on its annual western

Playing with poise and confidence, the men's basketball
team has strung together five
victories in a row for the first
time since the 1981-82 season.
Included are triumphs over
Ivy League opponents Columbia and Harvard, and a win over
East Coast Conference foe
Drexel.
It began back in December,
when sophomore All-American
Daren Queenan scored 18
second-half points to help bury
Dickinson, 93-68. Queenan
wound up with a game-high 26,
shooting 12-for-16 from the
floor.
Sophomore Bill Cheslock
(Hicksville, N.Y.) added 21
points and eight rebounds.
After a three-week layoff, the
hoopsters returned to Stabler
Center to square off against
Muhlenberg.
The Mules gave the Engineers all they could handle
before succumbing in the
second half, 86-72.
Senior co-captain Mike
Androlewicz (Turnersville,
N.J.) scored eight points during
a ten-point Engineer run which
broke open a 44-44 deadlock
early in the second half.
Androlewicz finished the evening with 22 points, tied for Engineer high-scorer honors with
Queenan.   Muhlenberg's   Matt
Women Hoopsters Continue Roll
The women's basketball team
continued its winning ways,
with a victory over Robert Morris before the break, and two big
wins over William & Mary and
Yale following the New Year.
Muffet McGraw's troops now
stand at 7-2, and with just one
game (against St. Francis) to
go before the start of conference
play, appear to be in good
shape.
Leading the way is a trio of
seniors. Shawn Steward
(Columbus, Ohio), the only
woman in the history of Lehigh
to score 1,000 points, is the leading scorer with 18.6 points per
game. In the 77-68 victory over
Robert Morris, Steward had a
game-high 20 points on 5-for-10
from the floor, and a perfect 10-
for-10 from the foul line.
Senior co-captain Liz Feely
(Worcester, Mass.) may soon
join Steward in the exclusive
1,000-point club. This year Fee-
ley is averaging 14.7 points per
game, and her consistent play
has been a factor in the team's
success. Feeley was tied with
Steward for leading-scorer
honors in the 74-51 blow-out of
William & Mary. Each tallied
16. Against Yale, Feeley's 14
points spearheaded a well-
balanced attack which led to a
64-45 pasting of the Eli.
The playmaker on this year's
squad is Cathy Engelbert (Collingswood, N.J.). Also a standout in lacrosse, Engelbert is
third on the team in scoring
(13.9), and first in assists.
Against Robert Morris she had
15 points, and against William &
Mary and Yale had 14 and 13
points.
Another   starter   who   has
played well is sophomore Jessica Lofgren (Oak Park, 111.).
Lofgren is averaging 8.2 points
and 5.2 rebounds per contest.
Her strong performances have
been a help, especially since
sophomore center Mary Kush
(Pringle, Pa.) has been absent
since the opening game with a
stress fracture in her foot. Kush
is expected to return to the
lineup in the next few weeks.
The final starting position has
been shared by junior Cathy
Laydon (New Haven, Conn.)
and freshman Bernadette Kozlowski (Factoryville, Pa.). Laydon is a physical player who
provides a solid defensive
effort. Kozlowski is a 6-0 center
who is more of a finesse player.
In the win over Robert Morris
Kozlowski played 27 minutes
and scored 13 points.

German led all scorers with 23
points. Cheslock tallied 19
points and had 13 rebounds.
Next on the agenda for first-
year head coach Fran
McCaffery's legions was a
meeting with the Lions of
Columbia. Seeking revenge for
a 53-47 overtime defeat last year
in Stabler Center, the cagers
The men's basketball
team will be the subject of
a special feature on CBS
television, Saturday, Jan.
11, from coast to coast.
The segment will air at
halftime of one of the
games CBS will telecast
that day. Be sure to watch
as the Engineers are
showcased on national
network television.
accomplished the seemingly
impossible. For the first time in
17 years, they defeated an Ivy
opponent, upending the Lions,
90-84, on their home court.
This time the hero was senior
Vernon Doswell (Somerset,
N.J.).
Doswell, who earlier in the
year tied a Stabler record for
points in a game by a Lehigh
player, sank 11 of his first 12
shots from the floor, and six of
seven from the foul line to
account for his game-high 28
points.
Androlewicz had 22 points and
Queenan 18. The Engineers took
the lead for good with 5:10 left in
the first half.
Now the team was ready to
begin defense of its conference
title, and the first victim was
Drexel.
Using a well-balanced attack,
the Engineers wore down the
Dragons with effective defense
to coast to a 79-66 win.
The margin of victory is a little deceiving, since the Brown &
White watched a 39-36 halftime
lead evaporate into a 45-39
Drexel advantage early in the
second half. McCaffery called
for a timeout to regroup, and the
Engineers charged back to
regain the lead at 13:37 as
Androlewicz canned both ends
of a one-and-one.
The final ten minutes were all
Lehigh, as the Engineers pulled
away down the stretch.
Setting the pace was Queenan
with 17 points, and Androlewicz
