Saturday's game she forward. She played a strong and. according to Coach Quinn, it was her best game ~n.

In the second half, the Lady Cavs and Misericordia both came close to making a number of goals, but either the goalies kicked the ball out or the ball rolled inlo a comer. Rudnick scored the Cavs' second goal with a corner shot. Misericordia then went on to make the last two goals of the game. According to Rudnick, the last goal was pure luck.

From the beginning, the Lady Cavs had a good defense, whereas Misericordia had a good offense.

Quinn said, "We relied on our defenders too much, thinking they'd come up with the ball. As a result, though, there was a lot more recovery on defense."

There also were a lot of one-onone battles, which accounts for the numerous near-missed goals on both sides. However, the Cavs put up a good fight and became more offensive in the second round of the game.

Amy Loesche, sophomore, said, ··we should've won because we dominated the other team."

Sherry Roam, junior, added, "We got a little unlucky, but we gave it our all."

According to Jen Schaub, sophomore, the Lady Cavs played well, but it was hot and sticky out there.

The season is going well for the Lady Cavs and although they lost last Saturday, it was a strong game.

Quinn said, "Although we played hard, the game lasts for about 70 minutes, and we were only intense for about 55. There were different phases in the game where we let down, and Misericordia took advantage of us when they were down. If we were intense 100 percent of the time, the close losses would be wins."

The Cavs' next scheduled game was last Tuesda~ against Wilson. Denise Cassidy,junior, said, "We played well, and it's a shame we lost in the end because we played tough. I think we'll win against Wilson. This game is JUStone step away from scoring on Tuesday."

In the past few weeks, I have heard a lot of complaints from people who object to the number of articles in this publication regarding teams from Philadelphia.

To these people, I have one thing to say:ifyoudon'tlik:eit, leave.

This is Philadelphia, after all. NotNew Jersey. NotNew York. And especially not Dallas.

If you want to read about teams from New Jersey, go to Rutgers.

And if you like the Mets. the Jets, the Yankees, the Knicks, the Giants. the Rang• ers and the lsle5r I bear that Syracuse is nice in the winter.

And if you happen to be a fan of the Cowboys, there are some inbreds down at TexasEl Paso who would be glad to have you.

But this is Philadelphia, and the articles in this paperwill deal wi.th the Phillies, the Eagles and everything else from soft pretzels to cheesesteaks.

If you have a problem with this, DEAL with it.

So, this week, we will talk about the Eagles.

On Sunday. Randall Cunningham suffered his second major injury in the past three years, a fractured fibula which will keep him out for the next eight to 10 week$.

Two years ago, head coach RichKotiteguidedtheRandall• less Eagles to 11 victories. However, that team was made up of players from the Buddy Ryan era. This one is not.

T have never been a Rich Kotite fan. In fact, I am a Kotite-basher. But I will not bash now. I will wait.

Rich Kotite has gotten rid ofallofBuddy Ryan's players in the past two years. He has replac.edthem with his type of guys. So far, they are 4-0. I say, that has to do with Randall. Now, we will see what type of coach Rich Kotite is.

As for those of you who need an out-of-town update, here it is for you: The NEW YORK Mets finished behind the expansion Aorida Marlins. The DALLAS Mavericks were the worst team in the NBA. Andi am still waiting for NEW JERSEY to field a professional sports team (the Nets and Devils don't count).
