RANDOLPH—AngelBaena “reallydidn’t want to play” Randolph’sNJSIAA North 1 Group IV boys soc-cer match against Morris Knolls onTuesday afternoon. Baena was justtoo emotional.

The Rams were grieving thedeaths of township residents Richand Beth Everett, who were killedwhen a tree fell on their pickup truckinMendham Township during Hurri-cane Sandy. Baena took the loss par-ticularly hard, because his girlfriendis Talia Everett, a Randolph seniorand one of four Everett children.

TheRamshad held captains’ prac-tices on Thursday, Friday and Satur-day, preparing for the NJSIAA Tour-nament while schools were stillclosed. After the last session, theywent together to a candlelit ceremo-ny at Shongum Lake in honor of theEveretts. On Sunday, the Rams can-celed practice to attend thememorialservice at the family’s farm, BlueCrest Riding Center in Long Valley.

Soccer seemed almost an after-thought on Tuesday.

But after a 45-minute delay wait-ing for officials, Randolph finallytook the field — and delivered a 1-0victory.

“Itmeans a lot,” said Baena, a sen-ior midfielder, choking back tears.“That’s all I talkedwith (theEveretts)about. They always wanted me to domy best. ... I’m really not playing formyself. I’m playing for them.”

Bothsquadsshowed therust of thenine-day storm layoff.

PITTSBURGH — Casey Hamptoncan hear the chant. It never fails.

Regardless of the venue. Regard-less of theweather. Regardless of thecircumstances. Preseason or the Su-per Bowl. Heinz Field or Houston.

If thePittsburghSteelers are lead-ing late in the fourth quarter, thesound of “HereWeGo Steelers, HereWe Go!” while thousands of TerribleTowels twirl will reverberate insidethe veteran nose tackle’s helmet.

“Our fans are going to stay untilthe end,” said Hampton, who haswatched the phenomenon since hisrookie year in 2001. “They’re going to

ridewith us. A lot of times, especiallywhenyou’rewinning at the end,whenthe home fans clear out they’ll still bethere doing their thing.”

It happened Sunday in East Ruth-erford during Pittsburgh’s 24-20 vic-tory over the defending Super Bowl-champion Giants. At a stadium typi-cally swathed in blue, the roar for theSteelers grew so loud at one pointquarterback Ben Roethlisberger ac-tually had to put his hands up to askfor quiet.

Coach Mike Tomlin wasn’t jokingwhen he said recently the self-ap-pointed “Steeler Nation” is every-where.

Whether it’s folks traveling fromPittsburgh to watch the black-and-

gold or western Pennsylvania trans-plants who fill their nearest NFL sta-diumwhen the black-and-gold visit isunclear.

What is clear is the backing theSteelers and other marquee NFLteams receive when they don theirvisiting uniforms is growing.

The explosion in the secondaryticket market combined with theleague’s ever expanding popularityand just plain old family ties meansfor teams like the Steelers, GreenBayPackers andDallas Cowboys, ho-mefield advantage isn’t limited to ga-medayswhere the playerswakeup intheir own beds.

UNIONBEACH—Tim Pernetti watched plenty of newscoveragedetailing thedestructionwreakedbyHurricaneSandy last week. But it wasn’t until viewing it for himselfin Union Beach on Tuesdaymorning that the Rutgers ath-leticsdirectorcouldbegin to fathomhowmuchHurricaneSandy devastated the Jersey Shore.

“Stunned,” Pernetti said. “I think you see the picturesand all the media coverage, but until you see it with yourown two eyes, you can’t really appreciate the total devas-tation. Just to see people’s houses destroyed, and their en-tire life’s possessions sitting out there on the front lawn,it’s stunning.But just to seehowthankful theyare forus tobring themsomefood, diapers and supplies, it’s beengoodto help.”

That’s what made his trip to this tiny, close-knit Mon-mouth County town so rewarding. In the aftermath of thestorm that impacted dozens of communities throughoutthe region, Pernetti sent out a department-wide email toencourage his staff to donate supplies.

So byMonday afternoon, hewas able to stock two vansfull of supplies that includeddrinks, canned foods, batter-ies and toiletries. On Tuesday morning, he led the way tothe 1.8-square-mile borough sandwiched between Route

36 and the Raritan Bay.“WehadpeopleatRutgerswhowereable tosharesome

of the devastation they're facing here and some of thechallenges they’ve experienced,” Pernetti said. “Weweregoing to help somewhere, and I think we’re going to keephelping every chancewe get.

EAST HANOVER — Ju-nior defender MichaelaTricola took the winningpenalty kick as the sev-enth-seeded Hanover Parkgirls soccer team defeatedNo. 10 Madison, 3-1, in ashootout to advance in theNJSIAA North 2 Group IItournament.

Hanover Park will faceNo. 3 Rutherford in thequarterfinals.

“It feels awesome, itwas a total team effort, weplayed great,” Tricola said.“We fought to the end, I

think we played prettywell, maybe not our bestgame but we played awe-some.”

After a hard-fought 100minutes of scoreless soc-cer, the game went to pen-alty kicks. Madison’s firstshot went off the crossbar,while freshmanmidfielderAliDeRiggi senther shot tothe left side past DodgersgoalieMegCalcaterra for a1-0 Hornets lead.

Madison’s second shotalso bounced off the cross-bar, and senior defenderCali Cocuzza sent her shotto the left side past Calca-terra for a 2-0 advantage.

Next up for the Dodgers,freshman Bailey Hurst gother shotpastHanoverParkgoalieChrissyAmendola tocut the lead to 2-1.

Tricola tookhershotandsent it up and over Calca-terra’s head for a 3-1 lead,and Amendola then savedMadison’s next shot to givethe Hornets the win.

“I was nervous but Iknew I had to focus on thegame and not my ownnerves,” Amendola said ofthe shootout. “I’ve beenthrough penalty kicks be-fore, last year, and wedidn’t come out with a winso I knew this year I had to

get mymindset and just gofor it.”

Amendola played thefirst half, both overtimesand the shootout for theHornetsandmade12saves.Junior Lizzie Kiernanplayed the second half andmade two saves. Calcater-ramade eight saves for theDodgers (2-11).

“HanoverParkhasbeenin our conference for yearsand I’ll be honest with you,it’s nearly always one goalthat settles it,” Madisoncoach Kevin Lynott said. “Ithought we probably creat-ed the best chances of thegame. I thought we had

three great chances inovertime that could havewon it for us, but that’s thegame.”

The Hornets (7-7-3) re-united as a team for thefirst time on Monday afterHurricane Sandy post-poned games last week andthe NJSIAA was forced tochange the state tourna-ment schedule for allsports numerous times.Madison managed to prac-tice Friday and Monday.

According to Tricola theteam tried to organize runsas the girls tried to keep insoccer shape.

“It was pretty hard to

get back into the swing ofthings but we had the heartand we had it in our headsthat we were going to winthis game, that’s all ittakes,” she said.

Amendola agreed.“We’ve been kind of like

in vacation mode I guessbecause of the hurricanebut we had to get ourmind-set and had to come in andput everything aside andget focused again and wedid it,” Amendola said.

ROUNDUP

Lee nets two goals to lead LakersStaff report

an ongoing power outage.About half the Golden Ea-gles still have no electric-ity athome, thoughmost ofRandolph has been re-stored.

“It’s almost like the sea-son ended twoweeks ago,”Morris Knolls coach MikeMugavero said. “Our guysplayed with more passionand more heart. We talkedat the beginning of theyear about being a family,and sticking together, andwe did that.”

Much of the game wasplayed in midfield, withfew difficult chances byeither team—particularlyin the first half. The fifth-seeded Rams began play-ing more aggressively

with about 20 minutes togo, though still with littlesuccess in front of the net.Morris Knolls striker Tan-ner Ackerman put a freekick on goal from the leftedge of the box, but it wassaved by Randolph goal-keeper Greg Moserowitz.

Moserowitz made sev-en saves to earn his sixthshutout of the season.

Randolph senior mid-fielder Francesco Folinoscored the lone goal,thoughhe “didn’t expect toget theball”at the time.Hewas in the box in front ofthe net, and figured itwould be cleared by theMorris Knolls defense.But instead, it trickled toFolino, who took a touchandwatched it dribble intothe Golden Eagles goal.

The Rams will hostNo. 13 Passaic Tech, which

upset No. 4 Clifton, in thesecond round byMonday.

“When we heard aboutthe Everett family, fromthat point we were much,much more motivated toplayfor them,”saidFolino,who still has no electricityat home, and has beensleeping in a guest bed-room warmed by a wood-burning stove.

“That’s what we didhere. The goal was reallythe team coming togetherwith the Everett family. Itmeant a lot to me, andhopefully it will mean a lotto them.”

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. —This year’s Tennessee La-dy Vols have been chal-lenged with upholding PatSummitt’s legacy withouther.

Summitt made the pro-gram the standard bearerfor women’s college bas-ketball, but she steppedaside in April after an-nouncing last year she hasearly-onset dementia.

The program has beenturned over to new coachHollyWarlick, an assistantto Summitt for 27 years.

“We definitely want tokeep passing the torch foryears to come,” sopho-more center Isabelle Har-rison said. “It’s somethingthat we’ve embraced.We’re not running awayfrom it. When we’re intopractice, when we’re (lift-ing) weights, whateverwe’re doing,weknowwhatwe need to do just havingTennessee across ourchest.”

Summitt left the Volswith 1,098 victories andeight national titles in 38seasons. She remains onstaff as head coach emeri-tus, attends nearly everypractice and is expected tobe in the stands for all ofTennessee’s home games.

Still, things will be dif-ferent around Knoxville.

“It will not be thesame,” Georgia coach An-dy Landers said. “I don’t

care how hard people trytomake it the same or howmuch people want it to thesame. Itwon’t be the same.That’s not to say itwon’t begood. It’ll just be differentjust because Tennessee’ssuccess for the last 36, 37years has been builtaroundPat Summitt—andthatwon’tbe thecaseaswego forward.”

Tennessee opens theseason Friday at Chatta-nooga and though the LadyVols are ranked 20th, it’sthe school’s lowest posi-tion in the Top 25 sinceFebruary 1985. They havenobody who started anNCAA tournament gameduring their run to a re-gional final last season.

“I think a bunch of peo-ple are crossing us off themap,” sophomore forwardCierra Burdick said. “Thatjust kind of firesme up be-cause Pat has worked sohard to get Tennessee atthe top of women’s basket-ball. I want to help her leg-acyandnowHolly’s legacy(to) continue to stay at thetop.

“I wouldn’t want it toslowly fall off and fall offyear by year.”

That’s the challengefacing Warlick. DuringSEC media day, she wasasked whether she had theworst job in America.

“I was taken aback,”Warlick said. “If you couldpoll a lot of coaches, they’dlove to be in my shoes. I

think it’s the best job in thecountry. It’s the best job inthe country for me.”

Indeed, Warlick isuniquely suited for the po-sition. A Knoxville native,she played for Summit andwas the first Tennesseeathlete to have her jerseyretired.Warlick knows thehistory of the programabout as well as anyone.

“This iswhere Ihaveal-ways wanted to be,” War-lick said. “I have neversaid I am too scared to dothis (or) I don’t want to dothis. I love the challengeand I love the opportunitytobehere. It is inmyblood.It is all I know.

“I think the country andwomen’s basketball wouldbe shocked if I didn’t haveon orange and white. . . . Itis just who I am andwhat Ithink I was chosen to do.”

During an August teammeeting, Warlick handedeachmemberof the teamawhite baton to show themwhat this season means.The batons included themessage: “TennesseeLadyVols tradition . . .Allwearedoing is passing the baton.New team, new staff, newgoals. . . . Sameheart, samepride, same fight. Take thebaton and let’s go!”

Tennessee hasn’treached the Final Foursince its 2008national title,its longest absence sincethe NCAA started runningthe women’s tournamentin 1982.
