DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION IS DEC. 7,1979 SPORTS OF THE DAILY d t i ' 04 olpi R Oaklan4 , By MIKE FROMM The atmosphere surrounding last night's women's basketball practice was not what one might expect after a heartbreaking one-point loss. Neither. Coach Gloria Soluk nor her players were discouraged by the team's 69-68 loss to Oakland University on Monday night. "They did everything we've been trying to teach them," Soluk stated. "This was the best game any team has played since I've been coaching at Michigan." UNFORTUNATELY, however, Oakland proved too strong for the Wolverines and was able to squeeze out the win, bringing Michigan to a 2-2 season mark. Coach Soluk attributed Monday night's loss to the lack of team height and the 're-positioning of 5-11 sophomore Katie McNamara. Mc- Namara was shifted from a forward to the point-guard position. "Katie's not used to playing guard," Soluk said. "In high school, she (Mc- Namara) played center and was not allowed to dribble the ball. Now she's expected to bring the ball up court, and 1 edges that's a tough transition." ALSO, THE team has no player taller than six feet and is forced to play a perimeter game, looking for the best percentage outside shots. Monday night they seemed overpowered under the backboard. During the game, Michign shot only ten foul shots while Oakland went to the charity stript 31 times. Nevertheless, Michigan compensated with excellent shooting from the floor to make the halftime seore at 34-32, Oakland. The second half provided exciting action as the lead see-sawed on a one-point margin, but Oakland finished on top. Leading scorer for the women cagers was Diane Dietz, with 22 points, while Penny Neer and Abby Currier chipped in with ten points apiece. Soluk was happy with the team's performance and praised Dietz' effort. Looking toward Thursday's clash with University of Detroit, Soluk seemed unmoved. "We're going to take this game as we would any other game. I don't want any one game to seem more important," Soluk stated. "I want my players to learn my brand of basket- '41 ' I- f, ' _ ' .: sf ^ J - !,' ~ , f 'Pv' % v° '3' A .. <,' a;.h _, 4Ea ' ; ' r $ .., ";c 4 : l ti .. . 'O',..

Wrestlers host Kent State Michigan wrestling fans will get their last chance before the holidays to see the team in action when the Wolverines host the Kent State Golden Flashes on Monday, Dec. 15 at 7:30 p.m. in Crisler Arena. Michigan wrestled Kent State last year down in Ohio and the Wolverines won the close contest by a point. Assistant Coach Joe Wells said, "We don't know much about them, except that they come from a very strong wrestling state and their coach, Ron Gray, is a two-time national champ." AFTER CHRISTMAS, the Wolverine wrestlers return to action when they compete in the prestigious Midlands Tournament at Northwestern Univer- sity in Evanston, Ill., on December 29- 30. The tournament is considered to be the best in the nation, and all of the major wrestling teams will be com- peting. "This is definitely the toughest tour- ney of the year," remarked Wells, "It may even be tougher than the NCAA's." All of the Big Ten schools will com- pete in the tournament in addition to the Hawkeye Wrestling Club, who boast several past national champions, the Iowa State Cyclone Club and the New York Athletic Club. WITH ALL the major grappling powers in attendance, the tournament should be a good indication of how the national championships might go.
