4 SPORTS Sunday, February 14, 1982 The Michigan Doily Blue icers overwhelm Miami (0.), W Bv BA BARBBARKER uy u t nr The Michigan icers managed to put together a productive power play last night at Yost Ice Arena to thrash the Miami (Ohio) Redskins, 7-3, and com- plete the weekend series sweep. The Wolverines scored the first four of their seven goals in one-man advan- .tage situations. DESPITE THE unusually high power play production, Michigan coach John Giordano had mixed feelings on its ef- fectiveness. "Parts of the power play I was satisfied with," he said. "I was really happy with it when (Ted) Speers and (Jeff) Grade were out there. We played good at times and bad at times." Michigan wasted no time opening up the scoring as Speers collected his 20th goal of the season at the 1:59 mark of the first period. The goal came a little over a minute after Redskin Andrew McMillan was sent to the penalty box for tripping. Speers took a Brad Tippett pass; skated it around the backside of the net, and backhanded the puck into the right corner of the net. The Redskins were quick to retaliate, notching their first tally on a power play at 4:34. Miami's leading scorer Steve Morris tipped in a Kevin Beaton shot from the point to tie the game, 1-1. THE WOLVERINES snapped the deadlock less than five minutes later when sophomore right winger Jim Mc- Cauley slapped one home at the 8:53 mark. Defenseman Steve Richmond skated the prick up the left wing and dropped it back to McCauley, who rif- fled it past a miffed Redskin goalie Alain Chevrier. Michigan dominated the second period notching three unanswered goals to widen the scoring gap, 5-1. Defenseman Dave Richter began the scoring drive at 6:49, capitalizing on Tip3ett pass. Ten minutes later, freshman center Grade chalked-up his fifth goal of the season. The Warren native took a Speers pass, and skated it straight into Powe r-f u FIRST PERIOD .Scoring: 1.

Friday night, in the team phase, Michigan captured the con- ference championship with a sterling 140.95 performance. Beckwith, who also finished in a third place tie on the balance beam with all-around champion Robin Huebner of Minnesota, was named to the all-conference team on the vault and as an all-arounder. Schwartz was named one of two all-Big Ten athletes on the bars. "IT FEELS super," said Schwartz after posting back-to- back 8.95s this weekend in nailing down the runner-up spot on the bars. "I went in rated third, so I expected to get at least that. I'm excited that I did better-it's great." Wolverine freshman Dayna Samuelson was -also suc- cessful, as the 5-0 all-arounder earned a third place tie in vaulting with an 8.9 in yesterday's competition. Sophomore Nancy Papows finished sixth on the uneven bars with an 8.75 and junior Angela Deaver tallied an 8.65 on the balance beam to place in a sixth place tie. The top eight Big Ten gymnasts in each event from Friday night's team competition qualified to perform in the in- dividuals. Yesterday's scores were added to Friday's totals to determine the individual placing. Minnesota finished fourth in the team competition, but more than made up for it as three of its athletes took in- dividual titles. Sophomore Judi Klein won the bars with an 8.95 yesterday and an 18.05 total. Kari Ploof took the balance beam with a 9.05 (18.25 total), and Huebner won the floor exercise with a 9.1 and an 18.25 combined. Beckwith's two- day total on the vault was an 18.05 (9.0 yesterday). Keepjgkfrack Few men traeksters compete . 0 By SARAH SHERBER Special to the Daily YPSILANTI - Four weeks ago, the Michigan track team ventured to Bowen Field House, and less than half the squad chose to compete. Last night could almost have been considered a repeat, except even fewer Wolverines decided to participate. WITH A MID-week dual meet last Tuesday, in which the Wolverines defeated Michigan State, and the Cen- tral Collegiate Championships (which Michigan won last year) coming this weekend, most of the Michigan troops looked upon yesterday as a day of rest. Besides the more consistent of Michigan's point producers abstaining from the meet, another noteworthy Wolverine who took the day off was coach Jack Harvey. "It's mostly people who don't get to run normally," said George Yoanides, describing the approximately 15 harriers who were present. YOANIDES RAN in the 600-yard run with a time of 1:14. One event in which Michigan's finest did perform was the pole-vault. Both Dan Chevillet and Dave Woolley com- DED L. 0 a C G DC EA W peted for the top honors. Woolley came away with second place, jumping 16'4". Chevillet managed only, a fourth place spot at 15'8". Nat Durham, an Eastern Michigan graduate, set a new field house record clearing the bar at 17'191: The major reason for the lack of par- ticipants at the meet was due to the condition of the track, which is asphalt, an unfavorable surface for runners. As one runner from the X, niversity of Toledo put it, '"It's like running on a parking lot with lanes painted on it. .* . .while women thinclads grab six firsts By JEFFREY BERGIDA The Michigan women's track team took six first-place finishes in yester- day's Wolverine Invitational held in the Track and Tennis building and coach Francie Goodridge was not surprised. "I can't say I'm surprised because I know how good these people are and they've continued to improve steadily throughout the season," said the Wolverine coach. WINNERS FOR the Wolverines in- cluded Joanna Bullard - whose 5'10" high jump set a new school record eclipsing her own previus record by two inches - and Penny Neer who out- classed the field in the shotput event with a throw of 45'0", another Michigan record. Other winners for the squad were Sue Frederick in the 1,000-yard run, Lorrie Thornton in the long jump, and the relay teams at distances of 880 yards and 2 miles. Goodridge was clearly im- pressed with Frederick's ability to come up with a fine time against a field she outran by eight secnds. "I thought she didn't have anyone to push her when we saw the scratches," said Goodridge. "But she was able to hold her race and get a-great time all by her- self." The highlight of the tneet was the two- mile run, as the top six finishers, in- cluding Michigan's Melanie Weaver and Lisa Larsen, topped the old fieldhouse record of 10:43.6. The race was won by Michigan State's Ann Pewe with a fine time of 10:03.2. Weaver, who finished second, (six seconds behind the winner) complimented Pewe on her per- formance saying that "If I would have been able to relax I might have caught her." 5EAElWK M27UL H\EN @aC pL@CA ©WIIC l@C@ oI EClQ4D D 0 x ~ ~~©~2JEJN AE%@A EJMLE P3 @@L. 2 00 f 30 O
