It's a wrap
The 1988-89 season at a glance
Men's Basketball
In his first year as head mentor to the basketball team.
Dave Duke guided a young, but talented squad to a 10-18
slate (5-9 ECC) and had one newcomer, Dozie Mbonu
(Philadelphia, Pa.), selected to the East Coast Conference
All-Rookie team. Mbonu led the Engineers in eight offensive categorgies.
Mike O'Hara (Springfield. Pa.) was the leader in points
(380, 14.7 ppg) and his touch from the field was impressive
with a team leading 55 three-pointers made.
The Engineers played in seven games decided by one
shot (three points) or less, and dropped five of them, largely
due to road inexperience. They took photo-finish decisions
over Army ;'74r72 and Drexel in doirbleoverthne. 94-92. In
addition, an overtime loss (75-65) against Lafayette came
only after a missed free throw in the final second of
regulation.
Women's Basketball
Sherie Androlewicz,(Turnersvill, N.J.) became only
the third woman in the history of Lehigh basketball to score
1,000 points in her career and only the second junior to do
so. She finished the season with 440 points (I.165 for her
career) and is well on the way to establishing herself in the
record books.
Overall the team suffered through a tough 7-21 season,
due to injuries and lack of bodies. Androlewicz (15.7 ppg.
4.5 rpg), Pam McAfee (Brentwood, NY) (13.9 ppg, 6.2
rpg) and Jeanne Mooney (Collingswood, NJ) (13.4 ppg,
4.7 rpg) offered the top statistics. Mooney reinjured her
knee midway through the season and only played 18
games.
The players pulled out all the stops for this year's
Lehigh/Lafayette rivalry. The team drove the Lady Leopards into a 67-62 overtime situation, only to lose at Stabler.
Then they ventured to Kirby Field House and dropped a
mere two-point decision (67-65) to Lafayette. The two
sparred again in the first round of the ECC playoffs, but to
no avail in a 63-52 end of the season loss.
Baseball
Pitcher Dave Norwood (Bethlehem, Pa.) led the staff
in victories with a 5-4 record, saves (2), games started (10)
and complete games (3), innings pitched (59), strikeouts
(67) and walks (22). His strikeout total put him among the
East Coast Conference and ECAC leaders.
Pat Connors (New Canaan, Ct.), paced the baseball
squad in batting during the recently-completed season with
a .339 mark.
Outfielder-pitcher Rick Folk (Wind Gap, Pa.) was
close behind with a .338 figure. Folk was one of only three
men to play in every game as the Engineers compiled an
11-14 record, 5-9 in the East Coast Conference.
