And this honor is probably the biggest one that the already highly-honored Wolverine coach has gotten yet. Yesterday Frieder was named the Associated Press National Coach of the Year. In a ballot of media mem- bers from across the country, the Michigan head man edged out St. John's head coach Lou Carnesecca, 49-41, for the honor. Georgetown coach John Thompson received ten votes in the poll. "IT FEELS great," said Frieder yesterday from his hotel room in Lexington, Kentucky, where he had gone to accept the award as well as await the Final Four of the NCAA playoffs. "I was surprised. I heard about it this week, but they didn't want me to say anything until they announced it this morning." And Frieder knows that the award is important to his program. "I think anytime you get an award like that it shows that you're getting national recognition, and that's what we need here," he said. "I think it shows that we're getting recognition and respect. That's good for the program." Earlier this month, Frieder ear- ned Big Ten Coach of the Year honors from both AP and United Press International. He was also named District Coach of the Year by the National Association of Basket- ball Coaches and National Coach of the Year by Basketball Weekly.I Special to the Daily WEST LAFAYETTE-Michigan's men's tennis team came from behind to defeat a stubborn Purdue squad here yesterday. The 5-4 win over a more ex- perienced opponent improved the Wolverine's overall record to 2-2. The victory also lifted their Big Ten mark to 1-1. Wins by two of Michigan's three doubles teams gave the Wolverines a lead that the Boilermakers couldn't overcome, even under sunny skies. The win showed that even at this early stage of the season the Wolverines are developing a very important trait-the ability to come back. This is what Big Ten contenders are made of. WOLVERINES JIM SHARTON and Ed Filer defeated Kevin Gregory and Jim Gray 6-2, 6-1. Michigan's other suc- cessful duo, Jon Morris and John Royer, defeated Jim Schumacher and Mike Casio 6-1, 6-2. The meet started off slowly for Michigan as both their number one and number two singles players were defeated. Michigan junior Sharton was beaten by Gregory 3-6, 6-4, 7-6. Gray of Purdue turned the trick as well by defeating Royer 6-1, 6-7, 6-0. Filer picked up some of the slack for the Wolverines as he took care of An- drew Hocker 6-2, 7-5. Boilermaker Schumacher returned the favor by besting Brad Koontz 6-3, 6-2. The rest of the singles matches, however, belonged to the Wolverines. Freshman Franz Geiger started it off by defeating his opponent, Tom Reilly, 6-4, 6-3. John Solik furthered the cause by winning 6-4, 7-6 over Cliff Reister, Solik's victory gave the team the momentum it needed going into the doubles matches. The.last doubles match went to Pur- due, but the outcome of the meet was no longer in question. Hocker and Reister defeated Koontz and Solik 6-3,6-1. Sharton and Royer ... double winners Engineers top Bulldogs, 6-5 ByTOM KEANEY DETROIT - You could see it coming. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and Minnesota-Duluth (UM-D) came into Joe Louis Arena last night ranked number one and two. But 85 minutes and 45 seconds of honest-to- God hockey later, RPI earned the right to play Providence in tonight's NCAA Hockey Championship Final, with a 6-5 triple overtime victory. The Engineer hero, was right wing Mark Jooris, who tipped in a John Car- ter slapshot at 5:45 of the third over- time period, to the delight of the fren- zied RPI faithful among the 12,284 in the arena. BUT WITH 46 seconds left in the period, Brett Hull (yes, Bobby's son) answered with his own 30 second goal, a breakaway shot off Puppa's leg. It was a 3-3 tie at the second intermission. RPI started off the third period with shor- thanded goal by Servinis, his second of the evening. Bulldog Bill Watson gave the game its fourth tie at 7:04. Watson, on a zero- angle rebound some how found a hole behind Puppa. UM-D's goal came on a Jim Johnson forward feed to Tom Herzig, who pun- ched it past Puppa's pads. The Bulldogs looked to have it wrapped up, but with just 1:52 remaining Oates squirted out a pass from behind the net to Ken Ham- mond, who tucked under a sprawled Kosti. THE FIRST two overtimes saw some very tentative play on the part of both teams. Both teams looked fatiguesd, and couldn't seem to put any shots on the net. Toward the end of the second OT,, however, RPI looked to be the Number-one RI Providence in c aggressor, setting the stage for the third OT. After the intermission RPI came out and took control. The Engineers had all kinds of chances, peppering Kosti witha torrent of shots, before Jooris finally got through. Tonight's championship final begins at 7:30 p.m. at Joe Louis Arena. - , The first period was the proverbial "feeling out" session for both teams. The contrast in styles between east and west was very apparent. UM-D outshot its opponents in the opening frame, 13-7, but was less threatening. The Bulldogs owned the of- fensive zone, but the Engineer defense kept the shots long and from the out- side. At 4:51 of the first frame both teams were assessed two penalties for un- necessary roughness. But the penalties worked to RPI's advantage. The Engineers set up one defenseman, Tim Friday, in the Bulldog's zone with the puck.,Friday waltzed into the top of the slot, coasted back to the point, tur- ned and fired a slapshot off the legs of a PI now to face hampionship bewildered Rick Kosti and into the net. THE TEAMS exchanged roles in the second period. UM-D played RPI's streaking style, coming up with three goals in the frame. Senior right wing Mark Baron quickly accounted for the first two. At 3:46 Baron took a centering pass from Jim Toninheo, split the defense and fired for UM-D's first goal. Not satisified, jusf 27 seconds later Baron drove a shot from the left boards past a stiff Daren Puppa, who looked like he was still feeling the effects of an Albany winter. Eleven minutes later RPI took ad- vantage of a Jim Johnson penalty, tying. the game with its second goal. Kosti made a pad save on a Bob DiPrino slap- shot, but All-American John Carter was at the right post for the rebound with one second left on the power play. Skating four on four at 17:23, Adam Oates left the UM-D defense somewhere in Windsor with a delicate pass to a lonely George Servinis. The 5- 11 junior couldn't help but score his 32nd goal of the year, 3-2 RPI. Associated Press SUBSCRIBE!

Vols snatch NIT consolation NOT ENOUGH ROOM IN YOUR TRUNK? NEW YORK (AP) - Anthony Richardson scored 30 points and keyed a game-deciding vburst early in the second half as Tennessee's basketball team overpowered Louisville 100-84 last tight in the third place game of the 48th National Invitation Tournament. Indiana faced UCLA in the cham- pionship game late last night. LOUISVILLE'S loss snapped a streak of 13 consecutive 20-win seasons for Cardinals Coach Denny Crum, whose team finished the season at 19-18. Tennessee had the game well in hand virtually from the middle of the first period when. the Volunteers led by as many as 18 points before Louisville cut the margin to 53-41 at the half. Richardson then scored 12 points to trigger Tennessee into a 75-54 lead with 14 minutes left. THE CARDINALS, led by Billy Thompson, who scored 27 points, added a late rush to cut Tennessee's advantage to seven points twice. With the Volunteers holding an 85-78 edge with three minutes left, Tennessee won the game at the foul line by out- scoring Louisville 15-6 the rest of the way, with 13 of the points coming from the free throw line. Michael Brooks, who had 26 points for Tennessee (22-15) made eight of the foul shots down the stretch. Jeff Hall and Mark McSwain each added 10 points for Louisville in the game that resembled a schoolyard pickup contest, with loose play, little defense and little regard for the 45- second shot clock. Bton 112, Phikadelphia 108 BOSTON (AP) - Larry Bird scored 13 of his game-high 24 points in the fourth quarter to help the Boston Celtics sur- a vive a furious Philadelphia snurt and halftime advantage. The 76ers last chance died when George Johnson missed' a three-point field goal attempt with three seconds left and Bird sank a foul shot with two seconds to play. Moses Malone led Philadelphia with 22 points and became the 16th player in NBA history to grab 10,000 rebounds. Charles Barkley added 18 for the 76ers. * For Boston, Kevin McHale and Den- nis Johnson had 22 points each and Danny Ainge added 20.
