Women's Tennis Places Third in AMCC Tournament
The Penn State Behrend women's
tennis team finished third at the AMCC Championships on October 20 at
Frostburg. Penn State Altoona captured the championship with 17
points, Frostburg took second with 15, Penn State Behrend third with 5
points, and Pitt-Greensburg finished fourth with 2 points.
Angela Albertson (McKean/Villa)
won at number-one singles and was tabbed as the league's MVP. In the
AMCC Tournament she lost game one 6-1, and trailed in game before she
came storming back to win. "Angela refused to lose," said head
coach Jeff Barger. "That showed in her final match when she was on
the ropes and came back with one of the best comebacks I have ever
seen." In the last two seasons, Albertson was named
all-conference at number three singles, and last year at number two
doubles. As a freshman she earned all-conference honors at number four
singles and number one doubles.
The Behrend Lions won four of the
last five AMCC titles in 2000, 1999, 1998, and 1997. The blue
and white finished the season 8-9 overall and 4-3 in the conference.
