BOWLING GREEN-The Michigan
icers downed a profitable weakness in
the Bowling Green defense last night,
and freshman, Bruno Baseotto reaped
the most dividends with a three goal hat
trick and three assists, leading the
Wolverines to a convincing 9-5 season-
opening victory.
The weakness was Falcon goaltender
Wally Charko's glove side as Baseotto,
Doug Todd, and Dan Lerg all slid shots
into the left hand corner of the net to get
the Wolverines' season off to a positive
start. All three of Baseotto's goals
found Charko's weak side and the
Calgary, Alberta native couldn't have
found a better way to open his Michigan
career.
I'm just happy that we won," said
Baseotto. "'We came down here to win
and we did. I'm happy, but I'm not
satisfied with the way I played. "I'm
never satisfied."
Basetto opened the scoring just 2.33
into the game. The Falcons Yves
Pelland was -whist ed off for a tripping
call and Murray Eaves, in an effort to
keep the puck in Bowling Green's zone,
slapped it weakly through a few defen-
semen and it came right out to Baseot-
to's stick, who slid it along past Charko.
Baseotto scored again two minutes
later when he skated all alone past two
Falcon defensemen down the left side'
and shot another low one past Charko.
Two minutes later, Steve Richmond,
a sophomore defenseman who last year
$,cored two goals and five assists, fired
a high, hard wrist shot from the blue
line that found the net above Charko's
shoulder and the rout was on.
Andy Crowthers closed the gap to 3-1,
when he hit defenseman John Gibb's
point shot past a sprawled Paul
Fricker, the freshrian netminder
making his Michigan debut. But Todd
killed any hopes for a BG comeback
with his goal in the last minute of the
opening stanza.
Despite the nine goals and seemingly
easy victory, Wolverine coach Dan
Farrell could still find fault with his
team's performance. "I think the score
was misleading," he said. "I thought
they (the Falcons) skated very week,
but we were able to capitalize and they.
weren't, and that's the story.
"We were having trouble clearing the
-uck out of our zone all night. We
definitely have some work to do, par-
alcons4
ticularly in the neutral zone."
And as for freshmen sensation
Baseotto, Farrell cracked a sly smile,
"he's pretty good isn't he? He's been
showing tremendous scoring ability in
practice and we just had to see if he
could do it in games."
He did, and so did the other five
freshmen forwards and the Michigan
offense. Nine gogals last night were
more than the last year's Wolverines
were accustomed to getting in three
games.
The victory gave Michigan a ten-
game winning streak against no losses
over the Falcons, who for the second
year in a row outshot the Wolverines by
a 2-1 margin and still came up short on
the scoreboard.
The Wolverines outscored the
Falcons 2-1 in the second period, with
Dan Lerg and Baseotto turning the light
on for the Wolverines and freshman
Tim Alexander doing it for Bowling
Green. That set the stage for a fairly
ragged yet explosive third period. Todd
scored first for the Wolverines, taking a
slick pass from Baseotto and going in
all alone on Charko for the night's pret-
tiest tally.
The Falcons then reawakened their
usually ecstatic fans with a pair of
goals in a span of 16 seconds. But Eaves
met that feat all by himself when he
scored two quick goals in a span of 51
seconds to put the game on ice.
Both teams head back to Ann Arbor
to complete the home and home series
with a 7:30 p.m. face-off tonight at Yost
arena.

Simmons said that the well established teams like Wisconsin, Indiana,C
State, Purdue and Iowa will be the teams to watch in the meet.
Leading the Wolverines will be Melanie Weaver, who Simmons says will n
likely finish in the top six overall. "Melanie is very good for a freshwor
especially if you consider that she's normally a two-miler and a miler (like mo
the rest of the runners)," Simmons added.
The top eight Michigan men harriers will be out of competition this week
but the rest of the team will be participating in, and hosting the Mich
Federation Meet at the Michigan Golf Course beginning at 11 a.m. today.
"It's going to be kind of a small, low-key meet," said Ron Warhurst, the m
cross-country coach. "Basically it's just an opportunity for some of the your
fellows to get a chance to race."
