The Michigan Doily--Tuesday, December 8, 1981-Page 11 FIRST WIN FOR CAGERS 'M' looks sloppy in 80-58 rout of NMU Byd JONER Michigan won, and Leslie Rockymore continued his hot shooting spree by scoring 17 points. Those are about the only positive aspects of the Michigan basketball team's first win of the season, a 80-58 victory over Northern Michigan last night at Crisler Arena. THE WOLVERINES had trouble rebounding, were lousy from the foul "line and although obviously a much superior team to the division II Wild- cats, seemed unable to nail the lid on their hapless opposition's coffin. On the other hand, Rockymore was eight for 10 from the floor, raising his season field goal percentage to 70%. "Rockymore had a pretty good game," Michigan coach Bill Frieder said. "Our biggest problem is reboun- ding. We just are not a solid rebounding club. We also had a lot of defensive lap- ses." THREE SLAM dunks by Northern's Matthew Johnson were the results of a few of the Wolverines' defensive lapses. Johnson, a senior forward, was the game's high scorer with 24 points. Three times he managed to shake his defender, two of them on back-door alley-oop plays, and dunk the ball. Although the game was not a picture- perfect performance by the Wolverines, Frieder was happy to get that initial victory. "I don't care what you say, I'm glad to get a win," the coach said. "In order to have a chance Saturday (at Western Michigan) we're going to have to get a lot better." A LOT BETTER indeed. The Wolverines made only 14 of 26 free throws, with freshman guard Eric Tur- ner hitting only two of nine from the line. And although Michigan out- rebounded the Wildcats, 38-32, the Wolverines seemed to have trouble hanging on to the ball after they swept it off the boards. One reason for the Wolverines' workmanlike play might have been the fact that the outcome of the contest was never in doubt. Michigan scored the fir- st seven points of the game, and after seven minutes of play, held a 19-6 ad- vantage. In the early going, Michigan's man- to-man defense was enough to keep the Wildcats from getting any inside shots, but after the Wolverines had built up the 19-6 advantage they began to get sloppy. Northern managed to close the gap to 19-14 as Johnson converted four foul shots and two jumpers. HOWEVER, AFTER a Wolverine time-out, Michigan guard Dan Pelekoudas broke the dry spell with a driving lay-up. Michigan then proceeded to outscore Northern, 16-8, anu wag a 37-=2 lead into the locker room at halftime. For the first 12 minutes of the second half, neither team could take advan- tage of the other's mistakes, and the Michigan lead fluctuated between 17 and 14 points. Northern had numerous opportunities to dent the Michigan lead, as it took 15 second-half foul shots and converted only four of them. The Wild- cats were a horrendous eight for 23 from the foul line on the evening. A Willis Carter jumper and a Joe James tip-in gave Michigan a 20-point lead with seven minutes to play and from then on, the two teams resorted to up-and-down, run-and-gun playground basketball. All 11 Michigan players saw action last nightwith four of them scoring in double figures. Aside from Rockymore, Thad Garner had 15, James 13, and cen- ter Ike Person 11. A piece of the Rock NORTHERN MICHIGAN SPORTS OF THE DAILY: Women cagers split in Cincinnati By KEN SHORE Michigan's women's basketball team suffered its first defeat of the season this past weekend, falling prey to the ghost Bearcats of Cincinnati, 93-65, in the opening round of the University of Cin- *cinnati-Coca Cola Classic. 'The Wolverine attack in the loss was -paced by the Harte sisters, K. D. and Peg, with 16 and 14 points respectively. THE FOLLOWING' night the Wolverines redeemed themselves, as they defeated Indiana State, 82-81. Michigan started off slowly and quickly found themselves trailing the Sycamores, 54-35. But with the help of a persistent full-court press, the Wolverines staged a strong comeback to eventually win the game. In the Cincinnati loss, "their big people ate us up," said freshman guard Connie Doutt. But she went on to say that the game was "closer than the score stated." : The next opponent in store for the 4-1 .Woverines is Cleveland State, which eiters Crisler Arena tonight at 7:00 -Men tumblers eighth :leavily-favored Nebraska, the defending national gymnastics cham- pion, tumbled, vaulted, and swung its way-to 276.35 points and a convincing victory in the Windy City Invitational in Chicago last weekend, outscoring its nearest competitor by 10 points. Michigan placed eighth in the meet with a 262.55 total, but' coach Newt Loken pointed out that a couple of breaks could have catapulted his team to second, as eight squads finished within five-and-a-half points of each other. After four of the six events, the Wolverines were in second place, but the rings proved disastrous for Michigan,. which scored a meet-low 38 points in that phase of the competition to fall well back. BEHIND 9.7 performances by Kevin McKee and Milan Stanovich, the Wolverines took top team honors in the final event, vaulting, with a 47.20 total. It was too little, too late, however. Stanovich was the Wolverines' top finisher, with 105.25 points, good for seventh place. Teammate Merrick Horn placed 13th with 102.25. -JESSE BARKIN Women first in tri-meet Paced by sophomore Kathy Beck- with's command performance and a sweep of the balance beam com- petition, the Michigan women's gym- nastics team squeaked past the host Kent State squad and placed first out of three teams in its opening meet of the season last Friday. The Wolverines' team score of 131.8 was barely enough to surpass Kent State's total of 131.5. Third-place finisher Central Michigan was well back with a combined mark of 121.85. It was the talents of Kathy Beckwith that made the difference for the Wolverines. Beckwith won the meet's all-around competition with a total score of 33.5 in four events. Beckwith's performance on the beam led the way for a 1-2-3 finish for the Blue in that event. The team is back home this Saturday as host of the Wolverine Invitational. -CHRIS WILSON Tankers win Canada Cup. The Michigan men's and women's swimming teams traveled home from Toronto last weekend sporting the trophy that goes to the combined win- ner of the Canada Cup swim meet, in which the men placed first and the women seventh, good enough for an overall first. FERNANDO Canales took three first- place finishes, in the 100-, 200-, and 400- meter freestyles and was also part of the victorious 400-meter freestyle relay quartet. Other big performers for the Michigan men were Kevin "Irish" Williamson, who captured fourth in the 400 freestyle and eighth in both the 400- meter individual medley and the 1500- meter freestyle, and Mark Noetzel, who nabbed a second and a third in the 100- and 50-meter freestyles, respectively. -JAMES THOMPSON Two grapplers victorious Of the 16 wrestling teams entered in last weekend's Penn State Invitational, five-Penn State, North Carolina, Clarion State, Pennsylvania, and Michigan-were nationally ranked in the top twenty. "We wanted to see how our individuals stacked up with the best wrestlers from the East," said coach Dale Bahr. Although there were no team cham- pionships, two grapplers-Joe. Mc- Farland (118 pounds) and Eric Klasson (heavyweight)-" stacked up" quite well by winning their individual divisions. McFarland, ranked second in' the nation in his weight class, defeated seventh-ranked Bob Monahan from North Carolina by a 8-3 score in the final. SEVENTH-RANKED Klasson "walked through the tournament," ac- cording to Bahr, as he whipped John Dougherty from Syracuse, 8-1, in the heavyweight finals.

By CHUCK JAFFE Overpowering. That describes Mike Leach's perfor- mance as he convincingly won the Prince Midwest Men's Collegiate Singles Championships at the Liberty 0 Racquet Club in Ann Arbor on Sunday. LEACH OPENED the day with a semifinal victory over sixth-seeded Robert Seguso from Southern Illinois, 6- 4, 7-6. Then Leach put together an im- pressive combination of power and quickness to beat unseeded Dan Weiss of Northwestern in the finals, 6-3, 6-4. Through much of the final match, Leach's toughest opponent seemed to .e himself, as he made numerous un- forced errors that allowed Weiss to stay in the match. But the Northwestern net- ter spent most of his afternoon trying to play an unsuccessful serve-and-volley game, or protecting his face from Leach's powerful serves and returns. "I was a little bit tight at the end," Leach said, "but overall, I felt pretty elaxed out there. I just wanted to break his serve one game each set, and that's exactly what I did. "I'M A POWER player, and I'm going to try to beat you with my serve," the top-seeded All-American continued. "That's my gun, and that's what I'm going to come at you with. He was put- ting in some soft second serves and I was teeing off on them. That helped take his net game away from him, and he really loves the net." The victory qualifies Leach for the Prince National Men's Collegiate Singles Championships to be held later this year in Princeton, N.J. "I'm very pleased with Mike's per- formance," said Michigan tennis coach Brian Eisner. "When Mike is placed in a situation like this - the top seed in a tournament, and an All-American - he really has nothing to gain and a great deal to lose. That places a lot of pressure on him because he is always expected to do well. .'.. 's.. ' - "l:.
