Some members of the East Torresdale Civic Association Monday night criticized the group's recent settlement of a lawsuit against Holy Family College. Among other things, the college made a $3,000 contribution to the civic group as part of the settlement, attorney Richelle Hittinger told members at their monthly meeting. The association had filed the lawsuit in July, seeking closure of a Frankford Avenue driveway to a parking lot at Frankford and Stevenson Lane that was expanded in December during construction of a new college building.

Thoughts of another long, unbeaten regular-season streak for Holy Family were quickly extinguished in the Tigers' first game last weekend, when the Division II powerhouse fell to host New Haven, 69-68, on a shot in the last 18 seconds in Connecticut. "We're not as good as we were last year, but we'll try to work each game to get back where we were," coach Mike McLaughlin said. Holy Family went 32-1, losing in the title game of the Division II regional tournament. Although Kelly Killion graduated, McLaughlin said the Tigers will rely on sophomore forward Catherine Carr, the reigning rookie of the year in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference.
