It stood as the only non-victory of the season for West Essex entering Tuesday's rematch in the State Group 3 semifinal.

Although West Essex was the defending State champion, Highlands went in at an advantage. This time, the Highlanders had Lisa Wehner. "We didn't have Lisa for the first game because of an injury," said coach Frank DeLuise. "And since she's our second-leading scorer, it was quite a loss." Wehner, a junior center forward, was the offensive sparkplug throughout Highlands' 2-1 victory, which earned them a berth in the State final against Eastern Regional 2 p.m. today at Trenton State College.

She missed the first meeting due to painful shin splints. "Last year, I had the same problem and my doctor told me I was supposed to rest. I played anyway," Wehner says.

She was on a mercy mission, tending to wounded soldiers being transported from France to a hospital in Italy. Lutz had been on 196 missions, had 814 hours in the air, more than any Army nurse, and helped evacuate 3,500 men during World War II.

She earned five battle stars, received the Air Medal with four Oak Leaf clusters, and was the first nurse to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross. Lutz had been an active bowler and was deeply involved in the Saginaw, Women's Bowling Association. Her death proved to be an inspiration, and the newly formed BVL Fund, established by the Bowler's Victory Legion, reaffirmed a pledge to support wounded veterans. The BVL, in cooperation with the Women's International Bowling Congress, raised enough money to purchase three air evacuation hospital planes to ferry the wounded home from war zones. In 1945 one of the planes, Miss Nightingale II, was dedicated in honor of Lutz.

Last month, the Saginaw Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center was rededicated as the Aleda Lutz Center. It was the first time a medical center was named after a woman killed in combat..
