"Consulation Round
Men's Soccer
The Colorado Rapids selected former
Lehigh soccer standout Andrew
Mittendorf '98 as its number one pick
in the 1999 Major League Soccer
College Entry Draft on February 7.
During his 1998 campaign, the
6-0 forward led the nation in goals per
game (1.33) and holds all six Patriot
League scoring records. Mittendorf
was selected eighth overall out of 36
draftees.
place
Chris Marshall, Head Swimming and Diving
Coach, is named Patriot League's Coach of the
Year.
Frank Donnelly, Men' and Women's Diving
Coach, is named Patriot League's Diving
Coach of the Year.
Back when the Patriot
League started not even
the most optimistic of
observers felt that Army could
ever be beaten in the men's
competition or that Army or
Navy could be beaten on the
women's side.
Well that's not entirely true.
Lehigh head coach Chris
Marshall always felt that, in
time, Lehigh could unseat the
military academy's.
In the last two years the
Mountain Hawks have done
just that. Last year it was the
Lehigh women who emerged
victorious. One year later it was
the men's turn as Lehigh
shocked Army over the weekend by medaling in all but two
events en route to a meet winning total of 872 points. Army
finished second with 792.
"Never did I think it was a
pipedream for us to win a
league championship," an
elated Marshall said after the
meet. "I didn't think it would
happen as quickly as it did, but
even after we would lose to
Army or Navy I tried to remain
realistic. We would always talk
about it as a team."
Years of hard work, not only
by this current squad, but also
by such former Lehigh greats as
Rob Chesley, Dave and Paul
Littlefield, Ken Johns, Jeff
Cline and Dan Rodenhaver all
paid off Saturday night in Annapolis.
Every member of Lehigh's
team turned in top-rated performances. Chief among them
was senior co-captain Chris
Scheier. A double-winner,
Sheier finished first in the 200
butterfly and the 500 freestyle.
His butterfly win was especially
satisfying considering he
touched   out   Army's   Dirk
Steinfort. It was Steinfort who
had touched out Sheier in each
of the three previous years
championship meets.
"I had hoped the team as well
as myself could go out with a
bang," Sheier said excitedly. "I
never thought we could ccome
close to beating Army when I
first came here. It's strange to
think that we did it. I'm just
amazed."
Amazing was one way to describe the 500 freestyle finish on
day one of the meet. In addition
to Sheier winning the event,
teammate Rick Golebiewski finished second and senior Brian
Merrittt touched third. The
event helped to set the tone for
the entire meet.
Everywhere you turned a
Lehigh swimmer was receiving
a medal and in fact anyone who
didn't know the Lehigh fight song
before the meet, knows it now as
it was played after every first
place finish.
Lehigh men's winners included freshman Jason Boire in
the 400 IM who beat out sophomore teammate Andy Holland,
who finished second. The men's
800 freestyle relay team of freshman Rick Golebiewski, Holland,
senior Jason Fox and Scheier
finished first. Gobeliewski
touched first in the 1650
freestyle with senior Brian
Merritt finishing fourth and
freshman John Baumann fifth.
Junior Adam Ritchie won the
200 backstroke and Holland the
200 breastroke.
Lehigh also excelled in the
diving events as Kevin Allen won
both the one and three meter diving events. Allen was named the
diver of the meet. And what
would a meet be without Chris
Marshall winning a coach-of-the
year award. Marshall did so for
the seventh time in his career.
Lehigh head diving coach Frank
Donnelly took home Diving
Coach-of-the-Meet honors.
Lost in all of the euphoria of
the men's win was a very solid
performance by the women's
team. For the second straight
year Lehigh beat Army. What a
credit to the women's team that
victories over Army are now expected!
Freshman Jamie Grivalsky
finished first in the 200 butterfly, but it was the Lehigh depth
and an abundance of second and
third place finishes that led
Lehigh to the second place finish.
Freshman Lauren Ayres finished second in the 500 freestyle.
Sophomore Vanessa Buschmann
and Grivalsky placed 2-3 in the
200 IM. Senior Taryn Filo was
second in the 1 and 3-meter diving. Junior Jessica Weathers and
senior Michelle Pealer finished 2-
3 in the 200 backstroke. Sophomore Dea Weisman touched third
in the 200 breastroke and
Grivalsky and Ayres finished 2-3
in the 200 butterfly.
