Lehigh overpowers
Davidson 43-20

DAVIDSON, N.C. - Erick Torain must be smiling by now. The
sophomore running back from Harrisburg, Pa compiled 247 all-purpose
yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 43-20 thrashing of Davidson at
Richardson Field in North Carolina. It was the season opener for the
Brown and White.
Prior to last weekend's activities starting tailback Lee Blum (Staten
Island NY), who led the nation in rushing last year, was still sidelined
with a knee injury he suffered versus Delaware. There was the nagging
question of who was capable of handling the responsibilities in his
absence - no small shoes to fill. Torain's most notable play came in the
fourth quarter when he returned a Chris Hardin punt 64 yards for a score.

Lehigh fans Joanne and John Milnor '56 of Baltimore, M.D.,
travelled to North Carolina to show their support for the team.
"I was a little nervous on the first carry," Torain said after the game.
"But as the game went on I got into it more. Coach (Hank Small) gave
me a lot of confidence.''
Small said the matchup was a perfect way to experiment with the
strengths and depth of his squad.
"I see a lot of good things coming out of this game," the third year
coach said. "We've got a win under our belts. It was a chance for us to

The Lehigh men's soccer team outmaneu-
vered Lock Haven last Tuesday, 2-1, in their second
game of the season at home.
Senior Chris Hoffman (Colombia, Md.)
scored the first goal off an assist by senior Chris
Cameron (Melville, N.Y.).
With 3:30 left in the first half, junior Kyle
Boschen (Denville, NJ) took a feed from Hoffman and
quickly put it in the net.
Lehigh took seven shots and one coiner
kick during the game and junior goalie Scott
Evans (Pittsburgh, Pa.) protected the net with
four saves. Their record now stands at 1-1.
Carrying on the winning spirit, the
Lehigh field hockey team shutout Ohio State
Saturday in a 4-0 home match.
Junior Carol Gibson (Factoryville, Pa.)
scored three goals in the first half, assisted by
junior Kim Brower (Madison, N.J.) on the first
and third, and by junior Maggie Quinn (Sea Isle
City, N.J.) on the second. Quinn scored an
unassisted goal in the second half.
Junior goalkeeper Andrea Lauer (Short

Gibson's hat trick triggers
Lehigh win over Ohio State
Carol Gibson is a little powerhouse. The junior forward from
Factoryville, Pa. notched a hat trick in the field hockey team's
home opener versus Ohio State last Saturday and; combined with
junior Maggie Quinn's (Sea Isle City, NJ) unassisted score early
in the second half, the squad shutout the Buckeyes 4-0. Lehigh is
now 1-0 while Ohio State left 0-2.
"They're a tough team," Gibson said after the game. "But I
just don't think we gave mem any chance to show what they
could do...but I guess that's good."
How's that for understatement? _ .,
