The Michigan Daily-Friday, January 15, 1982-Page 9 icers seek revenge By KENT WALLEY This series has the makings of a great race - speed, reason to win and an element of revenge. The starters gun will sound at 7:30 p.m. in the form of Yost Ice Arena an- nouncer, Glen Williams. But it won't be a race on a track, but a race on ice: Michigan v's. Notre Dame. Speed "WHOEVER WINS the race to the puck is going to win the game," said Michigan head coach John Giordano. Notre Dame may have one of the r quickest offenses in the league. Head Coach Charles "Lefty"Smith indicated that he recognized his teanus speed especially on offense, saying that his team has "good quickness up front." Notre Dame's offense is loaded with experience as well as speed. Team scoring is lead by seniors Dave Poulin (13 goals 17 assists - 30 points) and Bill Rothstein (15-15-30). ALSO HELPING to anchor the Irish offense are wingers Kirt Bjork (12- 11-23) and Jeff Perry (15-14-29). They, along with Poulin at center for- med Notre Dame's highest scoring line last weekend. The Fighting Irish are not all offense. Goalie Dave Laurion won the Most Valuable Player award at the Great Lakes Invitational Tournament, and has a 3.85 goals-against average.

Francie Kraker Goodridge begins her first season as the head coach of a track squad which she feels could be quite successful. "I certainly expect to be very competitive in the Big Ten," said Goodridge. "We have some junior and senior athletes who have been with us nearly since the beginning of the (track) program." AMONG THOSE upperclassmen on whom Goodridge is counting are seniors Penny Neer, Deb Williams, Cathy Shar- pe and Renee Turner. Neer, an outdoor All-American in the discus, will be shot putting for the Wolverines, as will Williams, who normally throws the javelin. "They're both out of their element," admits Goodridge. "Neer, though, is coming on very well." Turner and Sharpe are both sprinters. Combined with juniors Brenda Kazinec and Lorrie Thornton they give Michigan a strong 880-yard relay team, one which assistant coach James Henry believes will qualify for the March 12, Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women's (AIAW) national championship meet. "I THINK IT (the 880 relay team) will qualify," said Henry. "Overall, there is a large group of possible qualifiers." Henry specifically mentioned Kazinec and Shar- pe in the sprints, as well as Thornton in the long jump. The dStance events should be another strong point for the thinclads. As Goodridge puts it, "I feel really confident about everything from 800 (yards) up." Goodridge's confidence stems from the fact SueF Lisa Larsen and Melanie Weaver run the longer dis the Wolverines. Frederick, a junior, set a Big T record in the 800 meters with a time of 2:08.95 last y way to winning the conference title. Larsen is a sophomore who recently earned A honors as a member of the Michigan cross country holds the Wolverine women's indoor record for th run, and Goodridge is expecting Larsen to win a lo for her team. "SHE'S (LARSEN) going to surprise a lot of ot this season," said Goodridge, herself a former dis ner. "People don't know who she is because s recruited for track, but she's going to help us a lot.' Weaver, a junior, holds the Michigan wome records in both the two and three-mile runs. Freshmen Judy Yuhn, Teraisa Logan and Dawn are expected to contribute. While both coaches are optimistic over the team in the Big Ten, they are wary of their competiti picks Wisconsin and Michigan State as the teams the conference. And it is Michigan State which Michigan its first test tomorrow. "They (the Spartans) seem to always be neck with us, especially in the 4 by 200 relay," Hen "That's the first running event and whoever usually wins the meet. It might not be that way this experience will make a big difference." A NN ARU4M7k he wasn't n's indoor nRich also 's chances ton. Henry to beat in will give and neck ry noted. wins that year.

With the first Big Ten meet of the season tonight at Wisconsin, it's a strange situation for him. His very first meet with Michigan was at Wisconsin and until now he has not been in the same situation. "Although it will be pretty strange, I think I'll swim well. I don't want to think about winning or. losing, but we're all looking forward to the meet," said Williamson.
