Women's Basketball vs. Purdue Crisler Arena tonight, 7:00 SPORTS, Hockey vs. Michigan State at East Lansing, tonight 7:30 Yost 4rena, tomorrow 7:30 The Michigan Daily Page Friday, January 27, 1984 Injury-laden icers to meet MSU Michigan Hockey Statistics By TIM MAKINEN The Michigan hockey team is not in an envious po sition as it heads into this weekend's home-and- home series against arch-rival Michigan State. Beset by injuries, the Wolverines (12-15) will also be up against a Spartan squad that has revenge on its mind. Michigan downed State, 5-3, in East Lansing when the, two teams last met, and that is a fact that the Spartans have not forgotten. The victory ended a 10- game winless streak for Michigan against the Spar- tans, but the Wolverines will be hard pressed to ex- tend their winning streak to two games when they return to the Spartans' home ice tonight. Tomorrow night Michigan comes back to the more cozy confines of Yost Ice Arena. "I THINK they (the Spartans) will be pumped up for the game," Michigan head coach John Giordano said. "There's no way they want tolose in front of their own fans again." Revenge aside, the foremost concern on Giordano's mind is injuries.Michigan again will be playing under full throttle at the blue line, as the defense in par- ticular has paid a heavy toll in injuries this season. Defensemen Mike Neff (knee) and Todd Carlile (leg infection) will miss both games. Carlile was originally expected to play, but the infection has got- ten worse and there exists a chance he will miss the remainder of the season, according to Giordano. Another defenseman, Greg Hudas. is ineligible because of problem with grades, and forward Frank Downing is still recovering from a knee injury. The only bright spot for the Wolverines is that defenseman Pat Goff has recovered from a concussion sustained in last Saturday's loss to Western Michigan and will play. "YOU HAVE to be realistic," said Giordano. "You've got to be able to put the players on the ice, and right now we're really hurt with serious in- juries." Michigan State (21-7), meanwhile, is healthy and ready to go. The Spartans, ranked 7th in the nation, have not seen league action since two weeks ago when they split a series with Ohio State. Since then they have lost an exhibition game against the U.S. Olympic team, and then easily disposed of Lowell in two games last weekend. "Playing the Olympic team was fun, and it was a good experience," said Spartan head coach Ron Mason. "We're ready to get back to some meaningful games though. The rest did allow some of our guys to recuperate fully (from injuries).Both (Gord) Flegel and (Newell) Brown are 100-percent now." WITH THE Spartans being healthy, the revenge factor, and not having the home-ice advantage tonight, the weekend could begin very miserably for the Wolverines. Yet past encounters have demon- strated that anything can happen when Michigan faces off against Michigan State. "It's a great, great series, always very emotional," Mason said. "Michigan will play its game, which means probably physical, and we'll stick to ours." Both games begin at 7:30 p.m. Name, Pos.

He was trying out for a "squirt" travel team in Warren as a goalie - he made it. "I was a bad skater at first, maybe that's why I ended up in goal," jokes Mark Chiamp, that same fourth-grader turned starting goalie for the Michigan Ihockey team. 'THE ONLY prior hockey experience the East Detroit native had was playing with friends in basements. He wasn't even really a fan of the sport. Yet, he was always the goalie in those basement games. "I told my dad I was interested in playing hockey and he just went out and bought me the equipment," said Chiamp, who admits he hardly played that first year. But he stayed with the sport, crediting his father, who has missed only a handful of his son's games, and "midget league" coach, Mark Craig, as his inspirations. "HE (CRAIG) was a great coach," Chiamp said. "He gave me a lot of con- fidence and made hockey fun." The Craig-coached midget team, Lit- tle Caesars, a well-known team in the Detroit area, went to the National Championships with Chiamp in goal. He had improved so much that the Red- ford Royals, a junior team that also in- cluded Wolverine left wing Chris Seychel, drafted Chiamp during his high school years. When the time came for college recruiting, Chiamp heard from the likes of Lake Superior State, Colorado College, and Wisconsin, but never from Michigan. "FROM DAY one, since the time I was 11 or 12, I've wanted to go to Michigan," said the 5-7 netminder. But } that call never came, and -Chiamp was set to take up Wisconsin's offer. A month before he was to don the Women c by ROB POLLARD It's been a tough year for the women's basketball programs at Michigan and Purdue, as both the Wolverines and Boilermakers have yet to win a Big Ten contest this season. That will change tonight, however, when Michigan hosts Purdue at Crisler Arena at 7:00 p.m. The Wolverines are currently 0-6, (2- 12 overall) in the conference and mired in last place while Purdue is 0-5 (4-11 overall) making the teams the only two in the Big Ten without a conference vic- tory. PURDUE head coach Ruth Jones feels that the game is vital for both teams. "This game is extremely important for both of us. We've played the top teams in the Big Ten and come away without a win." The Boilermakers have an extremely young squad with six freshmen and only two seniors on a roster of 13. dreams: Years of hard work pay off for netminder Chiamp MICHIGAN............27 97 164 261 211/42- OPPONENTS..........27 123 197 320 195/406 GOALTENDING STATISTICS Goalie (Record) GP GA AvgSav Pct Mark Chiamp (12-13) ...... 25 102 4.20751 .88 Jon Elliott (0.2) ............ 4 17 5.11 88 .838 MICHIGAN (12-15)........ 27 123+ 4.45 839 .872 OPPONENTS (15-12) ......27 97 3.57 682 .87b +Includes four empty goals IT'S THE CHOICE OF THE COACHES 1 JERRY ERICKSON'S Personal & Distinctive Hair Care 668=8669 Appointments Available Open Mon.-Fri' 8:30-5:30 p.m. Wednesdays 8:30-8:00 p.m. Saturdays 8:30-3:00 p.m. 806 S. STATE ST. Badger uniform, however, Chiamp learned he was ineligible to enroll at Wisconsin because of a problem with an algebra class. The Wisconsin coach arranged for Chiamp to re-enroll at East Detroit High School to complete the course and play another season with the Redford Royals, before heading to Madison. Meanwhile, in the course of the year, Wisconsin acquired another goalie and the Royals went to the nationals in Green Bay. When Chiamp returned, there was a message that said to call Michigan head coach John Giordano, and the dreams of a ten-year-old came true. BUT breaking into Michigan life did not come easy for Chiamp. "It was a pretty big shock, not at all what I expec- ted," Chiamp said of his first year. "It was very physically demanding." Chiamp saw limited action in his rookie season, about 100 minutes in four games. "I never really got a shot and I kind of got down," said the junior. "I missed not being on the team, but I never lost confidence and my social life was great because I never played." The next year saw the goaltending duties split between Chiamp and Jon Elliot, neither dominating the playing time. PRIOR TO the start of this season, the net was up for grabs when Giordano said, "Chiamp is knocking at the door." Now, Chiamp seems to be a permanent fixture in the Michigan goal, starting all but two games. Thus far in the 1983-. 84 campaign, Chiamp has knocked away 751 enemy shots, allowing only 102 through the posts, for an .880 per- centage and a 12-13 record. These. statistics are more impressive when one considers Chiamp plays behind a young, injury-plagued defense.. Senior defenseman, John DeMartino describes Chiamp's style as "cat-like." "He's kept us in a lot of games, especially in the early going." Chiamp attributes this year's success to a summer weight training and run- ning program implemented by Gior- dano. "I KNEW I was in good shape," Chiamp said. Chiamp opened the season against Michigan-Dearborn with a win, but was racked up at Ohio State, 9-1. "The coach came up to me after the game and said, 'Don't worry about it' and I've been in ever since." "Mark's come up with some pretty big games," said Giordano. "He seems like a gamer to me, he's got that com- petitive edge." "I'm so happy it worked out this way," said Chiamp. "Home is far enough away but close enough for my dad to come out for games. If any kids ever ask me where they should go when they grow up, I'd tell them to go to Michigan." c A~p 0RBDwj 5s SN FISTI'CE A cCN E '; -5 -AN B r~uWO GOVER< - COLLECGE I.47 111.164oO1R'S, LAMMERs ANtD S VI5 ,L -174 A z~~ I LN=P 67TME-1.Z5 W N o N P5 LAMP i7 Z LA S IPS v PER lFCI-SPE AL PiT C UkE R P EAMSERLESSTu Daily Photo by JEFF SCHRIER against Ferris State earlier this season, that earned him starting Junior Mark Chiamp shows his puck-stopping form honors for the Michigan hockey team. igers to fac Junior guard Brenda Kelsay leads the team in scoring averaging 13.4 points per Big Ten contest. Freshman for- ward Kay Sharpe has been a bright spot for the Boilermakers recently as she scored 20 points in 29 minutes in a loss to Illinois last weekend. Despite the slow start, Jones is not disappointed with her club. "I feel good about it(the season), considering the makeup of the team. But the bottom line is winning." Winning is something Michigan has not been doing very often either, mainly because the Wolverines have been hurt by a lack of consistent scorers. Only sophomore forward Wendy Bradetich, who is the sixth leading scorer in the Big Ten averaging 17.5 points per game, has filled the net consistently. This weekend's games against Pur- due and Illinois (Sunday) are games Michigan has an excellent chance of winning, and winning is just what the e Purdue Wolverines must do if they are to elevate themselves out of the conferen- ce cellar. Tumblers take on OSU The Michigan tumblers have a tough task ahead of them tonight as both the men's and women's teams head to Columbus to face two powerful squads from Ohio State. The OSU women are the defending Big Ten champions and have eclipsed the Wolverines' high score, achieved last Friday, by nine points. MICHIGAN'S MEN GYMNASTS won't have it any easier as they will need a good deal of improvement from their performance last Friday, their best of the season, to catch the Buckeyes, who have reached 280.00 points this year in one match, a score that ranks them among the top five teams in the country. -SUSAN WARNER -I J VS PAWS B 5A~4C>5 N tT&1'i, -Mmmmmmm UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT Pi t, Lxp'e & Scd gekge, ueA. 310 AAnardi (at Doolev's) Once you've finished with term papers and mid-terms, head for SPRING BREAK atthe Daytona Beach Resort Area.
