SPORTS -Sunday, February 6, 1983 The Michigan Daily Page 7 Icers edge NMU, 3-2 By JOE CHAPELLE Special to the Daily MARQUETTE-The Wolverine icers scratched and clawed their way to a 3-2 }victory over Northern Michigan last night before 3,664 fans at Lakeview Ice Arena. The win snapped a five-game Michigan losing streak. One of the keys to the Wolverines was the performance of sophomore goalie Jon Elliott. The red-headed Spencer- ville, Ontario native had 42 saves on the night and helped turn back four Wildcat power-play opportunities, three in the final period. MICHIGAN COACH John Giordano, } however, was restrained in his praise of Elliott. "That's the way he should be playing," said Giordano. "I always ex- pect him to play that way." The Wildcats took up where they left off after Friday night's win, coming up taking a 1-0 lead after the first period. Northern defensemen Bill Schafhauser took a pass from teammate Tom Strelow on the right side of the net and poked it past Elliott. The Wolverines, however, started to gain momentum at the end of the period. Michigan killed two Wildcat power plays after Joe Milburn and Ted Speers were whistled off the ice at 11:30 and 15:44 respectively. MICHIGAN CAME out fighting at the beginning of the second stanza, knot- ting the contest early at 1-1. NMU's freshman center Bob Curtis was tossed into the penalty box with just :43 gone for high-sticking. Three seconds later Wolverine defenseman Todd Carlile rifled the puck past Wildcat goalie Jeff Poeschl into the right side of the net. The Wolverines then broke out to their first lead of the series, scoring two goals within 20 seconds to take a 3-1 lead. At the 13:46 mark, senior Brad Tippett poked the puck past Poeschl af- ter taking a Speers pass. Just 20 seconds later, it was Paul Spring's turn as he slipped the rubber disk around Poeschl into the goal. The Wildcats came back with a power-play to close the gap to 3-2 at 16:21.' At 15:05, Michigan freshman Chris Seychel was called off the ice for slashing to set up the power-play at- tack, and senior Eric Ponath conver- ted, firing from the right face-off circle. The scoring summary, however, doesn't begin to tell the entire story. In the second period, the Wolverines were outshot 23-3 by the Wildcats, yet out- scored Northern Michigan 3-1. Poeschl ended the period with out making a single save, allowing all three of Michigan's shots-on-goal into the net. The junior netminder tied an NMU record for the fewest number of saves in a period. Meanwhile, Elliott blanked the Wild- cats for the remainder of the game, finishing with 34 saves in the final two periods to help Michigan raise its season record to 12-18, and 9-17 in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association.

As it was, riding time (the difference of time in control) was only one of the many ways that second-ranked Iowa dominated in their 44-0 thrashing of the Wolverines. The opening match, pitting Jamie McNaughton against Iowa's Tim Riley, didn't last long enough to even count riding time. Six seconds into the match ,Riley drove McNaughton to the mat. McNaughton suffered strained neck muscles from the takedown and was wheeled away on a stretcher. THEN THINGS started getting bad for Michigan. At 126 pounds, Iowa's Barry Davis practiced his moves for two rounds against Mike DerGarabedian before pinning him 16 seconds into the third round. Davis, last year's NCAA cham- pion at 118 pounds, took DerGarabedian *down six times in the first round alone, each time letting the hapless Wolverine Chicago blasts iWings By DAN PRICE DETROIT-Three second-period goals lifted the Norris-Division-leading Chicago Black Hawks to a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings last night at Joe Louis Arena. The Wings played a strong first period and grabbed the lead at 14:51 on a Reggie Leach slapshot from ten feet out. The Hawks, however, evened things up four minutes into the second period on a goal by Dave Feamster. Chicago then took, the lead five minutes later on a wrist shot by Al Secord over fallen Detroit goalie Gilles Gilbert. The killer came with five seconds left to play in the second period when Bob Murray took the puck off a face off and put it into the top corner of the goal. Rich Preston put the game out of Detroit's reach two minutes into the final period with the Black Hawk's final goal of the night. Wing's Reggie Leach and Willie Huber tightened the gap with goals in the final two minutes, but were unable to salvage the game. SCORES College Basketball escape only to be taken down again. Tim Fagan gave the fairly large and vocal Michigan-partisan crowd a few moments of hope in his 4-3 defeat at the hands of defending national 158-pound champion Jim Zalesky. Although Fagan never led, he was the agressor throughout the first round, which ended 3-2 in Zalesky's favor. In the second, the only scoring was an escape by Fagan, good for one point and a tie match. A f'ter an escape by Zalesky, Fagan tried repeatedly, but unsu~c- cessfully, to get the takedown that would have won the match. "FAGAN wrestled a hell of a match," said head coach Dale Bahr. The meet ended as it began with Iowa heavyweight Lou Banach handing Rob Rechsteiner his second loss of the weekend. Banach, NCAA champion two years ago, piled up 13 takedowns and a 3:42 riding time advantage on the way to a 31-12 superior decision. "We're just not in the same class they're in," said Bahr. "They're just a dominating team." Fagan .. . closer than most "I OPEN G Newman Schif UNIN. LOCATED AT ' MEJJER THRIFTY ACRES 3825 Carpenter Rd.
