4 Page 8 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, September 20, 1983 High hopes for '83 sticker season By PAULA SCHIPPER The Michigan field hockey team may finally stick it to the competition this year. Still riding high from its best season ever, 13 - 3 in 1982, the team looks even better this season. The women stickers have a stronger offense, impressive recruits and an enthusiastic new assistant coach. MICHIGAN'S success last year rested on its outstanding defense with much of the credit belonging to goalie Jonnie Terry who made 110 saves in 14 appearances. She attributes Michigan's victories to the team effort. "The mental attitude is everything," said Terry. "We're a close team...everyone has to work together." But it will take a push in the offensive direction this year to get over the competition. Fans should keep an eye on Kay McCarthy who led the team with 21 goals and eight assists last season. Right behind her was Lisa Schofield who finished with eight goals and three assists. SCHOFIELD the added advantages of competing in a U.S. Olympic Development Camp this past summer. Placed in the highest division, Schofield's experience against the best stickers in the country is bound to pay off. The new Michigan offensive edge, however, may be dulled by a string of injuries. Last year's co-captain, Heidi Ditch- endorf, injured her knee early last season and it is still uncertain whether she will return for the 1983 season, while senior Denise Comby, a stronghold on the defense is out of the line-up with a hamstring injury. The team also almost lost another player last week when sophomore Bridget Sickon was hit in the head with a .goalie's stick while rushing. Though she suffered a concussion, Sickon says she feels fine and hopes coach Candy Zientek will play her in today's match against Eastern Michigan. AS LONG AS Michigan stays clear of any further injuries, Zientek will not worry. "We do have the depth to replace the injured players and we Te have competent replacements," she ... returni said. Zientek is also optimistic about the freshmen recruits and the team pas caught the enthusiasm. The freshmen know their hockey; they work hard." com- mented Sickon. "Joan Taylor (Furnace, Pennsylvania) and Jane Nixon (Ann Arbor) have excellent chances of starting. JONNIE TERRY hasn't ignored the freshmen, either. "They are doing a good job but just need some experien- ce...I wouldn't overlook anybody this season." No Michigan sticker will overlook new assistant coach Karen Collins either. Collins, a high school coach from Con- necticut, has already made a difference on the squad accor- ding to Sickson. "She (Collins) knows what she is talking about," said Sickon. "Especially about defense." Michigan will need the added expertise because its 1983 schedule is a tough one that includes games against Iowa and Northwestern, ranked fourth and seventh in the nation respectively. "WE'RE GETTING there, but this year will be more com- petitive," said Zientek. "We're playing everyone twice." But the stickers have faced off against even better teams in the past. Last season's national cham- pions, Old Dominion, were almost for- ced into overtime. Only in the last thirty seconds did the Wolverines let one slide by to lose 1-0. Don't underestimate the stickers, who are currently ranked 20th in the country. Zientek's squad will start its season today against Eastern Michigan in Ypsilanti at 4 p.m., but may finish the 1983 season at the NCAA champion- ships. The Wolverines will open their home season Friday, Sept. 23, at 4 p.m. against perrenial field hockey powerhouse, Northwestern. This game ,rY also marks the opening of Michigan's ni Big Ten season. ri Daily Photo by BRIAN MASCK Kay McCarthy, last year's leading scorer for the Wolverines, is shown here pacing Michigan to a 5-0 victory against EMU with her hat trick performance. tlllr, rtpgallc - - RENT A REFRIGERATOR Phone 973-6587 For immediate free delivery Linksters capture t hird By JEFF HARRISON Although coaches strive for victory, Michigan women's golf coach Sue LeClair was pleased with her squads' third place finish in the Lady Wolverine Invitational golf tournament, held at the University of Michgian golf course this past weekend. The young and relatively inexperienced Wolverines finished 61 strokes off the pace behind Michigan State and runner-up Indiana. The Spartans pulled away from the rest of the field on Sunday, beating the Hoosiers by 11 shots. Michigan State also had the medalist for the tournament, Barb Mucha, who fired impressive scores of 77-77-77 for a three day total of 231. Michigan was led by freshman Val Madill who posted a 253 for the 54 hole tournament. She was followed by team- mates Bridget Syron, 257; Sandy Barron, 259; Missy Bauer, 260 and Jan Idomir, 279. Besides the Wolverine's Blue squad, made up of the regular starting six, Michigan also had a Maize squad en- tered in the tournament which placed eighth in the eight team field behind Bowling Green, Northern Illinois, Purdue, and Ferris State. The Maize team was paced by freshman Lisa Dimatteo's 267. The Lady Wolverines Invitational also served as the qualifying for Michigan's next tournament which will be held. this upcoming weekend in East Lansing. * m ________ U Club sports starting soon WASII ININTERN Si-1 Juniors or Seniors with a 3 0 average interested in Congress?

LEVY Diversity is the word most, ap- propriate when speaking of Michigan sports clubs. Ranging from such ac- tivities as Aikido and Okinawan karate to water polo, the Michigan student and even the Ann Arbor resident has an op- portunity to participate in a variety of competitive and educational activities. Within the next week or two, all 29 of- ficially sanctioned U-M clubs will be formally getting underway. Mean- while, several clubs are already nearing full speed. Grossman. "But many of the younger students aren't aware that the Clubs are available." Club sports also offer organizational- advantages that are absent at the in- tramural level. "At the club level, there is a higher level of ability, better com- petition and more of an opportunity to improve individual skills," summed up Grossman.

In the team's conference opener on Friday night in Columbus, Michigan was unable to fight through the Buckeyes' solid defense, losing the match 5-15, 10-15, 15-9, 9- 15. Without the services of senior. Jeanne Weckler, the Wolverines' of- fense was missing its all-important catalyst. HEAD COACH Sandy Vong had hoped Weckler would be ready to play despite an ankle injury she suf- fered on September 8 in a match against Georgia. Sophomore Karyn Kunzelman performed well in replacing the injured setter, but Weckler's absense was definitely noticeable on the court, particularly against a high-powered team like Ohio State. Admitted Michigan's assistant coach Barb Canning, "Ohio State looked awfully strong and played an extremely good defense." Despite a less than overwhelming hitting game, senior Alison Noble looked impressive in what Vong called "one of her smartest offen- sive games." She racked up 17 kills for a .281 attack percentage. UNFORTUNATELY, Michigan's luck hadn't changed by Saturday when the team suffered another set- back, this time to Indiana 11-15, 5-15, 15-9, 10-15. The two losses left the Wolverines with a 0-2 record in the Big Ten and an-8-2 mark over-all. The team was hoping to get off to a good start, and victories over Ohio State and Indiana would have meant just that. Vong admitted that he was disappointed, but also pointed out that his team is feeling the effects of some key injuries. "I'm not looking for an alibi," said Vong, "but we're playing hurt." He mentioned injuries to Noble and Jennifer Hickman, along with Weckler's sore ankle. "We're licking our wounds now, but we'll be back," he said. The team travels to Bowling Green today, then on to Illinois and Purdue for the weekend conference matches. 4 14 4 A 215 ?I 5 MOOMM LAST SATURDAY, the men's rugby teams faced Scioto Valley while mem- bers of the sailing team traveled to two different regatta sights.
