Page 10 Wednesday, March 3, 1982 Women cagers clawed by 'Cats, 82-66 By LARRY MISHKIN The Michigan women's basketball team was brought back to reality following their big upset over Illinois on Saturday, as the Northwestern Wild- cats ripped the Wolverines 82-66 last night at Crisler Arena in the cager's final game of the season. The two teams traded the lead back and forth for most of the game until the final seven minutes when the Wildcats came to life and outscored Michigan 32- 14 the rest of the way to coast to victory. "WE WERE right with them for the whole game," said coach Gloria Soluk. "But 4en Lori (Gnatkowski) fouled out we had trouble running the ball and that led to our demise."

Huron 761-8845 ANN ARBOR Running was not the Wolverines only problem though as the team shot an anemic 32.5 percent from the field. Even the team's leading scorer, Diane Dietz, playing in her last game as a Wolverine, could only muster 10 points. Once again freshman Peg Harte was the team's lone bright spot as she poured in 26 points and broke Mike McGee's record for most points by a Michigan freshman (531), finishing the season with 552 points. "We just didn't play well tonight," said Soluk. "Diane was not hitting and we made too many turnovers. The ball wasn't where it should have been. It's just hard to come back after an emotional win like the one over Illinois." FOLLOWING a pre-game ceremony in which the seniors and their parents were honored, Michigan came out strong, employing an effective full court press and jumping to a quick 10-2 lead. However, Northwestern battled back and finally went ahead of the Wolverines for the first time, 34-32, as the half ended. "We caught them by surprise with the press, but they're an excellent team and they were able to come back," said Soluk. "We couldn't go up with them on the boards and when they went to a zone defense we could hardly move the ball." "We started out quick but then couldn't pick up the slack," said Harte. "We've had trouble with the zone all year and couldn't beat it tonight." DIETZ, WHO capped off an outstan- ding career in which she became only the third player in Michigan history to reach the 2,000 point plateau, was not pleased with her final performance. "The girl who was covering me was quick and it forced me to rush my shot" said Dietz. "At the end of the game we were going for three point plays and had all five girls on the boards so they were able to run the fast break. It was all or nothing and we got nothing." However, Dietz, who had to struggle through three losing seasons before this year's 17-9 mark, said all she was thinking about were her four years at Michigan. "YOU GO through a lot of good and bad," she said. "I'll always remember the good." Going into the game, Michigan had a shot at an NCAA tournament bid, but the loss erased the Wolverine's slim chances. "The girls were just playing to win," said Soluk. "This was our best season ever and we wanted to go out as win- ,hers. The girls had a fantastic year and I'm very proud of them; we just ran in- to a series of disappointments. We have a great future ahead of us. Our recruiting is going very well. If we can sign a couple of big kids we will be very good next year." 4 a i I Catch-22 some leaders xvbo follow instructions: Please fill out and return this coupon Or call 216-444-1686 collect.

GRAND RAPIDS (UPI) - A federal judge has perpetuated a sex discrimination suit against Michigan State University by ruling that all women playing varsity basketball for- the past three years are included as members of a class action. U.S. District Judge Noel Fox certified the suit, brought by Deb Traxinger in 1979, as a class action for all membes of the women's varsity basketball team. TRAXINGER'S suit charged sex discrimination because women were forced to sleep two to a bed and four to a room when their basketball team traveled while male varsity basketball players were afforded their own bed and double rooms during travel. Jean King of Ann Arbor, Traxinger's attorney, claimed the suit would be moot if it were not extended to all members of the womens' basketball team because Traxinger is scheduled to graduate this year. Immediately after the lawsuit was filed, Fox issued a temporary restraining order baring the University from treating women basketball players differently from its men basketball players. He later renewed that order by issuing a preliminary in- junction last spring.
