The Michigan Daily-Thursday, November 9, 1978-Page 11 FIRST TIME IN MICHIGAN HIS TOR Y Clubbers cruise west to regionals By BOB EMORY Unlike Cinderella, the women's field hockey team did get an invitation to the big event, but it's a Cinderella role they'll be playing anyway in the 1978 MAIAW Regional Championship in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. It will be the first time in their six- year varsity history that the Wolverines will participate in the regional tournament, having been awarded an at-large bid by the tour- nament committee. Still, it took a freak occurrence for Michigan to land its in- vitation. WOMEN'S FIELD hockey in the United States is divided into eight regions, with anywhere from six to eight states in each region. Along with Michigan,fiveaother states-West Virginia, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin-compose the Midwest Region. There are eight teams from Pistons deposit Bucks By JAMIE TURNER Special to The Daly PONTIAC - Rickey Green and Bob Lanier keyed a fourth-quarter surge that gave Detroit a 117-106 win over the Milwaukee Bucks at the Silverdome last night. Stumbling out of the blocks, the Pistons trailed 15-2 after seven minutes had elapsed in the first quarter, but clawed back to trail by only five at the end of the period. By the end of the third period, the Pistons were within one, 89- 88. THAT'S WHEN Lanier and Green took over. The 6-11 Piston captain .scored 16 of his game-high 35 points in the last period. Green set up many of those points with a sharp-passing and penetrating game. Green finished with 17 points, his high production mark with Detroit. "I'm getting more comfortable with the team," the former Michigan All- American said. "And I think they're getting more comfortable with me." The game was marred by the high amount of fouls - 57 - called by head referee Jack Madden. Early in the game, when the Pistons were struggling, both Lanier and Vitale were nailed with technicals protesting the calls. "All I said was, 'Three seconds,' or something like that, and they called a 'T'," raged Vitale. "You can't utter a word. I tell you one thing ... Al MCGuire would never last a week in the NBA!"

DAILY LIBELS at Donny Mac's Purple Haze TECHNOLOGY AND POLICY AT MIT A MASTER OF SCIENCE PROGRAM designed for persons wanting to participate in formulating policies for the each region that play in the tour- nament. The state champion from each state automatically. qualifies, as does the school which hosts the tournament, and then there is one at-large bid given. This is where the Wolverines fit in. Since the tournament is in LaCrosse this year, the host school, Wisconsin- LaCrosse, will participate. But it just so happens that Wisconsin-LaCrosse is also state champion of Wisconsin, leaving room for one more at-large bid that the Wolverines were awarded. "I'M REALLY surprised that we received one of the bids," said head coach Phyllis Ocker, "considering that our record (11-6) wasn't that great." It shouldn't come as that much of a surprise though. Michigan beat some very fine teams this year on its way to completing its most successful season in Wolverine field hockey history. For the first time in four seasons, the Wolverines defeated Central Michigan, last year's state and regional cham- pion. In fact, this year marked the first time that Michigan even scored a goal against the Chippewas. They also beat Minnesota, a school with a long- standing tradition of excellent field hockey. But the biggest win of the year was a 2-1 semi-upset of Michigan State in a regular season contest at Ferry Field. The Spartans had suffered only one loss coming into that game against eight victories and were considered the num- ber one team in the state, a title they eventually claimed by defeating Michigan in the state finals, 3-1. "THAT WAS probably the best game we played all year," said Ocker. "The girls were really up for that one and it showed." Now, what about the team's chances in the regionals? "We'll be underdogs," says Ocker, "but I think we have a good shot at winning if the girls play the way they're capable of playing. MSU is seeded number one and we know we can beat them-plus our first opponent, Southern Illinois, was beaten by State earlier in the year." Whatever Michigan's achievement in the tournament, it has been a very suc- cessful season for the Wolverines. But perhaps the most promising thing for Michigan is the fact that they'll lose only one player off this year's Cin- derella team. -- -.-.--- ------------.--- - --- COUPON Buy 50-100 copies of 1 original at our low price of 3 -/copy and get a like amount of another I original free Dollar Bill Copying Specialists for dissertations and resumes.
