WORCESTER, MASS - Holy Cross quarterback
Jeff Wiley may not be one for the big play, but his
short, steady passing spurts, coupled with the dashing
abilities of a fullback by the name of Joe Segreti, were
unstoppable last Saturday as Lehigh ventured into
Crusader territory.
The Brown and White bowed to Holy Cross, 48-
24, in a series that has been dominated by head coach
Mark Duffner's potent squad since its inception in
1924.
It was perhaps the most pivotal and emotional
game of the season for Lehigh, which boasts its most
potent team in years.
The Brown and White surrendered two touchdowns to sophomore tailback Darin Cromwell and

(Casselberry, Fla.) booted a 31 yard field goal to put
Lehigh on the board in the second.
No other opponent had scored on Lehigh in the first
quarter this season.
The Holy Cross offensive unit came out gunning
with a combination of short, deadly passes and a
balanced run which Lehigh never adjusted to.
"That's their offense, run and shoot, although
sometimes it may have looked like we'd never seen it
before," head coach Hank Small said. "I was a little
disappointed that people came so wide open a few
times. It's one thing to get run over, its another thing to
make it look like you don't know what you're doing. I
felt there was an aspect of those kinds of breakdowns.
"They have good athletes and obviously a sound
plan," the third year coach continued. "When we
could stay on schedule, down in distance and not
have penalties, we could put together a balanced
drive and go down the field. We were just beaten by
a better football team."
Quarterback Mark McGowan's (Essex Fells,
N.J.) usual run-and-gun style was stifled Saturday by
an unyielding Holy Cross defense. Although he
owned an early second quarter score on a two-yard

Sports Infomation Intern
In her first season as goalie, junior Andrea Lauer
led Lehigh's field hockey team to an East Coast
Conference title. In that 1986 championship season,
she allowed only 25 goals in 17 games (1.5 per game)
and recorded a saves percentage of .769. She was
credited with six shutouts and had six other games in
Which opponents were limited to one marker. To top
off a 14-7-1 season, the 1987 squad defeated Lafay
ette, 5-0, and Delaware, 1 -0, as it carried home a
conference title.
To date this year, Lauer has recorded five
shutouts, owns a saves percentage of .923.
All this after a year-long rehabilitation program
that saw her through two knee surgeries.
Although statistics may indicate a brilliant
goaltending career, Lauer chose the position on a
whim one day.
