VASTLY IMPROVED LANCERS OPEN PLAY

FARMVILLE, VA -- Excitement and anticipation surround pre-season soccer drills at Longwood College. The Lancers, who open play Sunday afternoon at Catawba College in

Salisbury, NC, are pointing toward a complete turnaround from last year's 4-10-1 record.

Longwood t s second-year coach Rich Posipanko says the Lancers will be vastly improved.

"We have brought in 15 new players in my first full recruiting year,�' said the coach. "As many as nine of these. players have a good chance of cracking the starting lineup. Longwood will be drastically improved in every aspect, This will be the best Lancer team ever,"

While the 1980 edition of the Lancers -may be the school's most talented team ever, it is also the youngest outfit in Longwood's three-year soccer history, Of 22 squad members, 10 are freshmen, seven are sophomores and five are juniors, Among the group are seven returnees from last season,

When Posipanko says that one of his team's goals is to have a winning season, he's saying. a lot. In three previous soccer campaigns, Longwood teams have compiled a forgetable 7-36--2 slare,1:nc:tudi.--rrg 7rn-0-14 mark t'ne yea before Posipanko t s trrriva-1.- The CL>ach plans to turn things around this year,

Pre-season scrimmages against some tough opposition have not dampened Posipanko t s optimism. He feels Longwood will have a team th.2lt can compete with anyone in Virginia.

DIVISION II

With Longwood re-classified from NCAA Division III to Division II, th.e Lancers will have a difficult time getting a bid to post-season play. Posipanko says the Lancers will have to have an outstanding record to make the playoffs, but he believes h.e has the players who can do it,

SAVES ON PENALTY SHOTS NET CARINO WEEKLY HONOR

FARMVILLE, VA ........ In th.e world of soccer,goalies face perhaps their toughest test when opponents are awarded a penalty kick, With no one to help out, the goalie must go one�on-one with a foe who is trying bis best to boot a shot into the net.

Longwood freshman goalie Jeff Carino (GLOUCESTER} ,who stands a mere 5-7 ,faced not one but two penalty kicks in Longwood's game at Delaware Valley (PA}. College last Wednesday. Carino, in only his second start of the season, stopped both penalty shots as the Lancers defeated Delaware Valley 4-1.

For his efforts in Wednesday's game and victories Friday and Saturday Carino has been named Lon�ood College Player of the Week for the period October 3-10.

"Jeff had 14 saves against Delaware Valley," coach Rich Posipanko pointed out. "Saving two penalty shots is almost unheard of. He has made tremendous strides since the season began. "

Carino, a graduate of -Gloucest�r 1Ugh School, nas been alternating in goal recently with another freshman Kurt Peters (Virginia Beach) . He has helped Longwood ring up a 7-3 record as the Lancers have broken practically every team and indiv� · al school record. Last week Longwood won four games on a trip to Pennsylvania, defeating Valley Forge 7-0 , Delaware Valley 4-1, Cabrini College 3-2 and Allentown 2-1.

high school and junior college players," said Posipanko, who dreweight ofhis 11 starters from the Greater Philadelphia area. "That's what the trip was all about."

"We've established every school record up here," said Posipanko, a former SlipperyRockState and Pennsbury High star. "But one thing I did learn - you don't play four games in fivedays.That'sa lot."

The Virginia college was led on the trip by Upper Dublin grad Tim Brennan (four goals) and ex-Pennsbury standout Wayne Mayo (three assists). Also helping out were localites Nick Panara (Montco CC, a goal and an asist), captain Joe Parker (Upper Moreland, a goal), and backs Mike McGeehan (Pennsbury), Mark DeLaurentis (New Hope), Dan Sawick (Upper Moreland) and Ed Dikun (Delhaas).

·'I think they gained a lot of confidence on this trip," Posipanko decided. "They're young but played well."

Election nights can usually drag on to the wee hours of the morning, with each network predicting this or that candidate to win. This Tuesday night, however, area sports fans can get some fresh air while awaiting the results, and watch the area's two collegiate soccer tean1s go head to head when the Longwood College Lancers host the neighboring HampdenSydney College Tigers in the First Annual Farmville Herald Challenge Bowl. The game, to begin at 7 p.m. • on Longwood's Iler Field, pits the Lancers (7-7) against the Tigers (3-10-1 ) with the winner being awarded a trophy provided by The Farmville Herald. The winning team will also keep the bowl for a year until the next game. In what should be the biggest soccer game ever played in the Farmville area, the LC-HSC soccer rivalryhas been getting better and better each year. "As far as talent and skill goes," head soccer coach Rich Posipanko remarked about the game, "I'd have to say that we're four goals better than they are.

Longwood's hooters split a pair of games last week, bowing to Lynchburg 5-2 Tuesday and stopping Division I Richmond 5-1 Friday night. The 1-1 week gives the Lancers an 8-7 mark heading into the final week of the season. Coach Rich Posipanko's team will be out to avenge a 1-0 setback from last year when they play Hampden-Sydney Tuesday night at 7: 00 on Iler Field. Billed as the first annual Farmville Herald Challenge Bowl, the game will likely be just as hard-fought as last year's contest.

SOCCER

When Longwood topped Hampden-Sydney 2-1 Wednesday nigh.t to win the first Farmville Herald Challenge Bowl, the Lancers were assured of their first winning season ever in soccer. With a 7-30-2 record in three previous soccer campaigns, a winning season was one of the goals Longwood hoped to reach in 1980. The Lancers stand 9-7.

"We had the best season of any Longwood team ever," said Coach Rich Posipanko, "but I felt we would have finished 12-4 if we had played up to our potential all the way. We played six teams that were either ranked in the nation or in the region and we held our own with all of them.

"We have proven ourselves as strong competitors in our area," the coach continued, "and now we're already looking forward to next year," Posipanko will have his·entire' starting li:i'leup returning next season, if not the whole team.

With two goals against Hampden-Sydney, soph Gus Leal (ROCKVILLE, MD} closed out the season with 16 goals and two assists for 34 points. Not far behind were freshman Tim Brennan (NORTH HILLS, PA) with nine goals and four assists and junior Dana Gregg (CINCINNATI, OH) with nine goals· and one assist. Longwood outscored its foes 45...-28 ,

I It's the Vince Lombardi Doctrine : "Wi nning isn't the ma in thing, it's the only thi ng." I But Lombardi never had to q ualif y a te am for the Virginia Intercollegiate Soccer Association playoffs. For Bi ll Shellenberger and his Lynchburg College Hornets Tuesday afternoon, , winn ing was n't the only th ing. In order to ma ke the VISA tournament as a wild-card tea m, LC had to score at least three goals agai nst visiting Longwood. And they did, beating the Lancers, 5-2. To Shellenberger's great relief. "I'm chair m an of the (V ISA ) tour nament comm ittee ." sai d Shellenberg<:r, "but I don't even like our system for deter-

) lf/ fl

mmmg the wild card tea m. It creates added pressure -not only do you hav e to win, you hav e to do it in a certain way." This situation came about because LC entered the Longwood game with 10 points to 18 points for Radf ord and Virginia Wesleyan. VISA tea ms get six point sJ for a victory and a point for each goal scored agai nst a league opponent, which me ant that LC had to beat Longwood goalie Jeff Carino at least three ti me s. Tim Kinni put the Hornets on the board ear ly with an unassis ted tally, but it wa sn't until Greg Jewitt and John Toutkald j ian scored early in the second half that Shellenberger "breat hed a sigh of relief. But". only mom entarily, for Longwood 's Da na Gregg then ma de the score �-2 by converting a Wayne Mayo pass with 20 mi nutes remaining.

"Hey ," shouted Hornet co-captain Kevin Versen from the bench, "we've still got to win this thing !" Whereupon Versen fed senior linemate Ba rry Steel for the two goals which put the scrappy Lancers away for good. "Ex cept for a few lapses, I thought we played well ," �aid Shellenberger. "W e controlled the tempo, which is a credit to our mi dfield. Thar's our secretif the mi dfield is playing well, we'v e got it going both ways." LC goalie Gar y Zeitz turned in five save before giving way to Jay Ba kley. Cari had 10 for the Lancers, who were outsb' ot The29-11. vi ctory gave the Hornets a 0-3-1 record entering Satur day's Old Do inion Athletic Conference contest with as hing. ton &: Lee in Lexington. Lon d sl ipped to 7-7. ; .;

Lo cals lift Longwood

Thanks to the eff orts of Upper Dublin High grad Tim Brennan (nine goals, four assists) and back Mark DeLaurentis, a New Hope alumnus. the Longwood (Va.) College &°'<.cer team enj oyed the finest season in i t s . young history during 19 80. "We very easily could've been 12-4," said co�ch Rich Posipanko. a Pennsbury and Slippery Rock grad, whose Lancers smashed every school off'ensh·e record in a 9-'7 campaign. uwe beat Richmond 5-1 and they beat three teams we lost to.
