...Faces in New Places: With all the recent injury and scoring problems, Crimson Coach Mike Getman was forced to make several line-up switches and substitutions Saturday. Senior midfielder F.J. Gould found himself starting at sweeper for the first time since high school, while classmate Louis Lyons took over the left midfield position for the beginning of the contest...

But Aurelia Dobre, who had been counted on to shine, was still recuperating from recent knee surgery and could serve up only 9.9s where 10s were needed. Thus the Soviets triumphed by a solid 1.35 points. In the battle for bronze, the U.S. lost out to the East Germans by just 0.3 of a point, felled by a controversial technical ruling that penalized the Americans...
