The LU women whipped Albright, 5-0, with scoring star Lori Collmann of Gladwyne, Pa., netting three goals. Janet LeClair of Glen Gardner, N.J., who tallied both of the team's goals in the opening loss, came back with No.3 and Amy Wenhold of Abington, Pa., also had a marker. Goalie Trudi Schifter of Wayne, Pa., turned back five shots to get the shutout. Lehigh's junior varsity squad also defeated Albright, 3-2. Booters Find Range Jose Perna of Bethlehem, Pa., Warren Kimber of New Vernon, N.J., Paul Shook of Media, Pa., and Rudy DiMassa of Abington, Pa., tallied to end a persistent scoring slump and give Lehigh a 4-0 soccer triumph over visiting Swarthmore. The Engineers, blanked 1-0 by Navy in their debut, had made only one goal in their last six games counting the final five in 1975. Goalie Larry Keller, of Penn- del, Pa., registered seven saves to get the shutout. Defenseman Henry Prati, of Cranbury, N.J., shared honors with Keller as he battled All-American Mac Toddman to a standstill, not allowing him to get off a shot. Lehigh's junior varsity booters also posted a 4-0 whitewashing, at the expense of Northampton County Community College. QB's Passes Net 318 Yards, Including 9 7-yd. Touchdown An explosive offense, coupled with a powerful defensive performance, carried Lehigh footballers to a 24-20 victory over Pennsylvania last Friday night before 9,300 spectators at Franklin Field, Philadelphia. Junior quarterback Mike Rieker, of Catasauqua, Pa., was the principal offensive leader as he completed 15 of 29 passes for 318 yards. He hit the target repeatedly during a pair of sustained 80-yard scoring drives, and teamed with halfback Mark Weaver of Salisbury, Pa., on a 97-yard scoring strike which established two records. It's the longest completed aerial for Lehigh, in its 93rd season, and the longest ever fashioned against Pennsylvania, in its 100th year on the gridiron. Rieker, brilliant in the clutch and getting some super receptions, came close to Lehigh's one- game passing yardage record established by Kim McQueen against Colgate during a 48^34 defeat in 1972. McQuiHcen, backup quarterback witk the Atlanta Falcons, netted 325 yards completing 29 of 41 attempts-. Fullbacks Ed Barth of Wilmette, 111., and Rod Gardner of Maplewood, N. J., each tallied on a 1-yard plunge climaxing the 80-yard marches, and halfback Greg Pierog of Emmaus, Pa., contributed three extra points and a 37-yard field goal. This was Lehigh's second straight triumph over the Quakers, following 34 straight defeats at the hands of the Ivy Leaguers, and the first ever for an Engineer team at Franklin Field. It lifted Lehigh to a 3-0 mark and set the stage for an even more difficult Ivy test Saturday against Yale at New Haven, Conn. Penn, defeated 20-0 earlier by Dartmouth, dropped to 0-2. Gardner, who sat out the first two games of the season because of a knee injury suffered in practice, got into action during the second period and performed brilliantly during the balance of the evening. He ripped off 46 yards in 15 tough carries inside the tackles, caught a pair of passes for 21 yards, plowed across with the winning touchdown in the final minute of the game and spearheaded a tremendous pass- blocking effort which gave Rieker all the time he needed to select receivers. Gardner's Lehigh career records now stand at 2,640 for yards rushing and 278 for points scored. The defense, although tagged with 20 points, can lay blame for practically all of them at the hands of an offensive platoon which alternately reached great highs and plunged to frustrating lows. There were seven fumbles, one setting up a Penn touchdown and another leading to a field goal, and a couple of holding penalties which nullified good Lehigh gains and put the Engineers in poor field position. One of those bobbles almost Rieker, McCormick Cited By ECAC Mike Rieker's super performance against Penn earned him honors as ECAC Div.

The elusive ball, knocked loose near midfield, seemed to rest unwanted at the Penn 46- yard line for Several seconds before Gardner—a blocker on the play—dove on it in a battle with three frantic Quakers. It was a night when the defense had to reach far back and come up with a lot of extra effort, usually through no fault of its own. Penn had to go only 37 yards for its first touchdown after a bot- ched-up pitchout cost Lehigh nine yards and a short punt didn't get the ball to midfield. Late in the third quarter, with the Quakers trailing 17-7 and unable to get an offense going, a high pass from center on a punting attempt gave Penn possession on the Engineer 5- yard line. The Quakers scored immediately and trailed only 17- 14. Early in the fourth session, after a long punt return had given Penn good field position at the Lehigh 40, the defens»dug in and held again only to have Tim Mazzetti boot a 54-yai£ field goal to tie the score.
