a0 SPORTS The Michigan Daily Tuesday, February 16, 1982 Page 8: ND sweeps Ferris By MARTHA CRALL Notre Dame goalie Bob McNamara may be the hottest thing between the pipes in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) at this point in time. The junior netminder again proved his value to the team as he beat Ferris State twice over the weekend in Big Rapids, 5-4 and 6-0. In December, Mc- Namara led the Irish to an upset cham- pionship victory in the Great Lakes In- vitational Tournament, earning Most Valuable Player honors in the process. All he has done since then is win five straight games in Notre Dame's climb to fifth place. His 6-0 shutout of the Bulldogs on Saturday marked the first by a Notre Dame goaltender in four years and the first against Ferris State in 110 games. Now he has won CCHA player-of-the-week honors for his weekend performance. On Friday night sophomore Bulldog forward Randy Merrifield did his best to beat McNamara and the Irish, collecting his first career hat trick, but Notre Dame held on to win by a goal. Dave Poulin's two goals paced the Irish in the finale on Saturday. Michigan State 6-7, Western Michigan 2-3 Michigan State continued in its quest for home-ice advantage in the first round of CCHA playoffs with a home- and-home sweep of Western Michigan, 6-2, in East Lansing and 7-3 in Kalamazoo on Saturday. Mark Hamway and Lyle Phair scored two goals apiece in Friday's win and Newell Brown collected two of his own in the finale. The Spartans once again received solid goaltending from Ron Scott, who sits atop the standings for CCHA goalies with a 2.85 goals- against average. Lake Superior 8-3, Michigan Tech 4-6 Michigan Tech settled down after Friday's 8-4 shootout loss to take Satur- day's game, 6-3, in Houghton. The Huskies found themselves State in the victory. Laker netminder Lawrence Dyck stopped 40 in that game. Ohio State 6-0, Bowling Green 5-6 Ohio State derailed the Falcon Ex- press in the opener, 6-5, but Bowling Green got back on track on Saturday, shutting out the ninth-place Buckeyes, 6-0. All the excitement occurred in the last 90 seconds in the opener. Dave Kobryn scored two goals to pace the Buckeyes, who were tied with Bowling Green up to the minute-and-a-half mark. Then Paul Pooley scored for Ohio State at 18:34 to break the tie and Gord Rivington added an empty-net score at 19:12 for a 6-4 lead. Yet the Buckeyes had to hold on for the win as Falcon Dave O'Brian scored at 19:40 and Bowling Green took more shots on goalie John Dougan before the game ended.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE CHOOSY By MARTHA CRALL It will be a clash between two red-hot hockey teams, but fatigue may play the biggest role in the contest. Michigan travels to Michigan State tonight to conclude a Monday-Tuesday home-and-home series in which the Wolverines' "home" half was played on January 18. Both teams are coming off weekend sweeps of their opponents; Michigan took two from Miami (0.) here and Michigan State drubbed Western Michigan twice in a home-and- home set. CONSEQUENTLY, both teams are on a roll, but the Spartans' unspec- tacular 5-2 win in the earlier Monday game proved that playing more than two games a week takes its toll. "Sure, it's tough," said Michigan head coach John Giordano. "We're just going to hang in there as best we can and we'll see what happens." A victory would be invaluable to both teams, as the two are fighting for home ice in the upcoming first round of the Tinted Soft Contact Lenses-$199 Soft Contact Lenses-$169 Extended Wear Contact Lenses-$350 Wear for 2 weeks without remo'val Hard Contact Lenses -2 pairs $150 DR. PAUL C. USLAN Optometrist 545 Church Street 769-1222 Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) playoffs. To gain the home ad- vantage, a team must finish among the top four in the standings; the Spartans and Wolverines are currently nestled in second and third place, respectively. MICHIGAN STATE boasts two of the CCHA's top five scorers in sophomore center Newell Brown (15-42--57) and captain Mark Hamway (23-23--46). But the Spa rtans' biggest weapon is league- leading goaltender, Ron Scott. The sophomore All-American candidate boasts a 2.97 goals-against average in 27 games and has already shut out Michigan once this year, a 3-0 whitewashing back in November. "Michigan State has a great team," said Giordano. "They are well-coached, they have a fine goalie, and a good power play. They're moving up." Although the Wolverines don't enjoy the scoring punch Michigan State does, their goaltending has been just as good, overall. The icers possess the second and third best goalies in the CCHA, Peter Mason (2.99 gaa) and Jon Elliott (3.07 gaa). Defenseman Steve Rich- mond (5-29--34), Ted Speers (20-12--32) and Brad Tippett (13-18--31) spearhead the Wolverine offense. Michigan State (20-9-2 overall; 18-8-1 CCHA) holds the edge in the season series with Michigan (17-9-5 overall; 13- 8-4 CCHA), 2-1-1. Tonight's game will be broadcast from Munn Ice Arena by WAAM (1600 AM) starting at 7:10 and by WJJX (650 AM) beginning at 7:20. Club Sports Roundup CROSS COUNTRY SKIING Last weekend the Wolverine men and women cross country racers traveled just outside Traverse City to compete in a 261/2 kilometer (ap- proximately 17 miles) race, the North American Vasa. The women's standings at the finish hailed Jennie Haughn as the first undergraduate to cross the finish with Pam Shuck following second and Ingrid Chuang third. In the undergraduate men's category, Marc Gallin crossed the finish first, followed by Paul Jackowski and Chris Weiss. "We've had some good snow so we've been training really hard," said Michigan's Gallin. "The winning times really were quick this year and with the perfect conditions it's just fantastic." This coming weekend, the cross country team will travel to Northern Michigan to compete. The first stop will be Charlevoix as it skis in the Win- dmill Farms competition, and Sunday the team will move on to Gaylord for the Kenmar Classic. UNDERGRADUATE SQUASH The undergraduate squash club as been active this season; as they con- tinue to travel to various intramural tournaments. Ross Campbell was recently hailed as the winner of the Oberlin Open C tournament in Oberlin, Ohio. Campbell also was runner-up in a Michigan State C tournament, while Bill Austin also claimed runner-up position in the Western Singles tournament in Indianapolis. The team plans to travel to Williamson, Massachusetts the weekend of March 5-7 to compete in an intercollegiate tournament at Williams College. The top four players - Austin, George Kalman, Campbell, and Jeff Deitch - along with two other players who have yet to be named will comprise the six-man team to compete in Williamson. This weekend, the undergraduate team will travel to Chicago to compete in the Windy City Open.
