Women's Gymnastics vs. Eastern Michigan Saturday, 1 p.m. Sports Coliseum The Michigan Daily SPORTS Women's Basketball vs. Illinois Tonight, 7 p.m. Crisler Arena Friday, January 11, 1985 Page 9 Grapplers outclass Lehigh By JON HARTMANN A win is a win. It wasn't the most deft display of wrestling technique ever, but the battered Michigan wrestling team did defeat the Lehigh Engineers last night at Crisler Arena, 27-15. William Waters got the Blue off to a quick start with a pin of Engineer rookie Andy Schantz at 118 pounds. Waters was awesome as he piled up a 10-0 lead before putting Schantz away. FRESHMAN standout, John Fisher then defeated Todd Cassan 13-7 in a match that was closer than expected for most of the way. Cassan did a good job of staying out of Fisher's clutches as he avoided being pinned. Wolverine captain Joe McFarland then received an unexpected gift from Lehigh coach Thad Turner when Tur- ner decided to move Jim Frick from 134 to 142 poundswto replace Lehigh star Peter Yozzo, who was out with a sore throat. So Lehigh had to give Mc- Farland the win by forfeit at 134 poun- ds. This was good news for McFarland, who should appreciate some more time for his injured knee to recover. However, Turner's switch forced Rickey Moore, Michigan's starting 142- pounder to suit up in a hurry. Moore had expected Yozzo's forfeit to give him the free win and, according to Wolverine coach Dale Bahr, didn't even have his singlet on when the forfeit was announced at 134. But Moore dominated Waters, Fisher lead depleted ' his match, forcing Frick to default with an injured shoulder. Bahr was pleased with Rickey's performance, adding that he would have won even if Frick hadn't defaulted. AS EXPECTED, Michigan's major problems came in the middle weights. At 150 pounds, Lehigh's C.J. Mears easily took care of Wolverine freshman Guy Russo, subbing for the ailing Tony Latora. In similar fashion, Don For- chione, Kevin Hill's replacement at 167 pounds, was pinned in the third period by Engineer Derek Stamets. Bahr said that Forchione and Russo, having sat on the sidelines for so long, weren't really ready to compete when Michigan's injuries cropped up. Bahr was also disappointed with Scott Rechsteiner's performance in squeaking by his opponent at 177. Rechsteiner, who is recovering from a sprained ankle and an injured elbow "just didn't have it in the last period" according to Bahr. Bahr suggested that Rechsteiner could have overeaten following his weigh-in. NI' attack cellent chance of placing in this year's national tournament. Diekel defeated Elbin, 9-2. But Kirk Trost brought the home fans to their feet with a dramatic, 7-6 victory over Lehigh veteran Bernie Brown in the 190-pound showdown that ended the match. Despite a controversial stalling call by the referee, Trost pulled a reversal late in the third period that gave him the win. Bahr attributed the subpar perfor- mance of much of the team to problems caused by the Holiday layoff, citing the insufficient number of workouts following vacation. Looking towards the future, Bahr ad- ded, "We can't start to push too early. . . Once we get through the next four- five-six matches, then we can start working on conditioning. When you wrestle a lot, you don't get enough workouts." Michigan's dual meet record is now, 4-1, 1-0 in the Big Ten.

The 158-pound Richards came up just short, however, losing a tough 10-9 decision.

Answer: about seven points. AFTER THE high-flying, first-place Michigan State Spartans boasting a 17-3 record, the CCHA is laced with a brand of, parity that leaves the second- and last-placed teams separated by only 12 points. So with teams playing each other several times during the season, it's no wonder standings are hardly etched in ice. The Wolverines currently find them- selves dominating the eighth position in the CCHA heading into their home-and- home series this weekend against Bowling Green The-Faleons-occupy the- third spot (or the first part of the riddle for those who can't comprehend hockey humor), and last season's NCAA champions lead Michigan by only seven points. A Maize and Blue weekend sweep would probably lift Michigan in- to sixth or fifth place, as well on the way to head coach Red Berenson's coveted fourth-place finish and home-ice advan- ttage in the CCHA playoffs. "I HOPE we can stay in the pack," said Berenson, "we have to stay out of last ~and preferably we'll finish fourth." Still, with an eye on post-season possibilities, Berenson's task at hand is to get his club playing consistent, win- ning hockey. "We've got to do it for ourselves," said the former St. Louis Blues head coach. "We've got to forget about our opponents and play sixty minutes of Edwards named coach of the year NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)-LaVell Edwards, who was raised not far from Brigham Young University, was voted major college Coach of the Year yesterday for leading the Cougars to their first national championship and called it "the single greatest honor that's ever happened to me in my profession." Edwards called the national cham- pionship that capped BYU's 13-0 season "the most improbable thing I could have imagined since we haven't been on national network TV since 1979 and .aren't a household word. But it seemed ,~that when someone got ahead of us in ,The Associated Press poll, they got zapped." Sing Tog Kikkea Take-out & Delivery 995-0422 F A Kew Apprck hockey the way we know we can play." WITH STABILITY on his mind, Berenson will switch up his lines slightly tonight in an effort to get more balance from each line. The changes, Berensoni noted, should assure at least one defensive-minded offensive player on the ice throughout the game. Berenson will also hope that the soporific (from the Latin, sopor) Wolverine power-play can come alive and generate some scoring after devoting one full day of practice to the man-advantage situation. There is little doubt the Wolverines are prepared to jump back into the CCHA play after dumping two sets of foreigners-Japan and the Soviet Union-in less than a week. FRESHMAN right-wing Joe Lock- wood, still flying high from his last-minute breakaway goal that sent the Russians back where they belong Sunday night, feels Michigan will "come out flying this weekend. We're coming off a big win (5-4, over the Soviets) and everyone's gotta be up. We've basically got to hustle and put it to them." Senior center and team captain Ray Dries concurred. "We've got to play three solid periods," he said. "We're going in realizing they (the Falcons) will be pumped up. They want revenge (after Michigan handed Bowling Green a 12-5 drubbing in the consolation game of the Great Lakes Invitational), so weve got to jump off to a lead and play our game." OF COURSE, there'll be another for- ce on the ice attempting to prevent the Wolverines from doing what they so deftly did the first few weeks of the season-put the puck in the net. "We have to play much tighter defen- sively," said Falcon head coach Jerry York, whose club owns an 11-9 record in CCHA play, 11-13 overall. "Michigan ga ve us a good old-fashioned licking (at the GLI), so we need good goaltending and have to be consistent." York's goaltending shouldn't be a problem. Sophomore Gary Kruzich, an Oak Lawn, Illinois native, presently ranks as the third-best netminder in the CCHA with a 3.41 goals-against- average. Kruzich guided the Falcons to the championship last season, allowing just 2.87 goals per game. But according to Berenson, great goaltending or a stepped-up defense shouldn't frustrate the Wolverines. "We can play with any of the good teams, we just have to play well the whole game." Good answer. -SHIRT 'PRINTIN Ann Arbor's fastest! N From 10-800 T-shirts screenprint- ed within 24 hours of order.
