Page 8 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 24, 1985 I STOYANOVICH COMES HOME Hoosier kicks for soccer and football By MIKE REDSTONE Picture yourself an all-state placekicker from the Detroit area. It's the fall of 1984 and the time has come to select a college to kick for. Over in Ann Arbor, Michigan's top placekicker is graduating and his spot will be up for grabs in 1985. You're on your way to Ann Arbor, right? Pete Stoyanovich was in this position a year ago, and Saturday he will be kicking in Michigan Stadium - as an Indiana Hoosier. STOYANOVICH, one of only six Michiganders on the Hoosier team, did not select Indiana because of its rebuilding football program under coach Bill Mallory. Instead, Indiana got the nod because of its exceptional soccer program. Now, as a freshman, Stoyanovich starts as a forward on one of the nation's top soccer teams, as well as being Mallory's kickoff and field goal man. "He's had a busy schedule, but for a freshman he's hung in quite well," said Mallory, who is in his second year at the Hoosier helm. "He has come through for us so far. We think he has excellent potential." STOYANOVICH'S SPORTS background includes a considerably greater amount of soccer ball kicking than football booting. The 6-0, 165-pounder was a two-time soccer All-American while attending Dearborn Heights Crestwood High School. He also was the leading scorer for the U.S. Junior National team during its 1984 season. Because Crestwood did not have a soccer program, Stoyanovich began kicking field goals his freshman year to keep his legs in shape. He played soccer in a private league during the spring and summer. When the time came to look for a college, Stoyanovich sought a school with solid football and soccer programs, as well as good academics. "I was interested in Michigan and Michigan State also," said Stoyanovich, who plans to major in business. "It boiled down to a couple of things, though. I wanted to go to a school with a top soccer program, and I was told that I would be able to start as the kicker (on the football team) my freshman year. "THEY (THE HOOSIERS) have won the national championship in soccer twice in the last couple years. It was a great opportunity that I couldn't pass up." Stoyanovich's decision appears to have turned out well for himself, for Mallory and for Indiana soccer coach Jerry Yaegley. In 15 soccer games this year, Stoyanovich is tied for the team lead with eight goals. He also has three assists for the Hoosiers, who are currently ranked second in the midwest. ON THE GRIDIRON, Stoyanovich has helped the sur- prising Hoosiers to 4-2 record by hitting five of nine field goal attempts, including a 41-yarder. Stoyanovich's biggest three-pointer of the year came when he broke a 28-28 tie late in Indiana's opening season win over Louisville. The transition to college life has not been an easy one for Stoyanovich, who is far from a typical freshman. In addition to his daily class schedule, the 18-year old must practice with both the football and soccer teams. Stoyanovich practices with the football squad from 3:00-4:00, then is driven to soccer practice, where he remains until about 6:15. "THERE'S A lot of pressure on me this year in both sports," he said. "I'm looking forward to the challenge." Despite his abundant soccer skills, Stoyanovich has already been forced to miss one soccer game already this year because of a conflict with the Louisville con- test. His busy schedule has also kept him from returning home this semester. That's why Stoyanovich is excited about this weekend's game. His entire family will attend as will several friends who are Michigan students. "It's going to be a thrill for me to come back to Michigan and kick in front of the home-town fans," said Stoyanovich. "I can't wait to get down on that field and start kicking."

Steve Surma and Greg Silos were the recipients of Schaller's throws and Eric Gall also made several key receptions. Tom Gordy tossed 3 touchdown passes as the Vols beat the Desmos, 22-8, in GFS play. The Vols opened their scoring with a touchdown pass from Gordy to Bob Balas. Gordy then hit Glenn Kosaka and Jay Vanderest with touchdown passes as the Vols put the game out of reach. A safety by Vic Alvarado finished the scoring for the Vols. Gordy said that his team showed improvement and is looking forward to next week's game, where a victory will put them in the playoffs. CARLOS PEREZ and Joe Man- cenelli each caught touchdown passes from quarterback Richie Miller as Psi Upsilon squeaked past Alpha Sigma Phi, 16-8, in Fraternity B action. Jamie Melvin and his roommate Don Gill were defensive standouts as Psi Upsilon held their opponents to one score. Brian Himmel threw two tuchdown passes to lead the Terminators to a 16- 8 come-from-behind victory over the P.H. Warriors in Residential A action. Competing with only six players in uniform, the Terminators tied the game on a Himmel pass to Chris Owens for a touchdown, and another pass to Chris Brown for the two-point conversion. Himmel then hit Brown for the go-ahead touchdown late in the game. With time running out, Owens sealed the victory with an intercep- tion. "It was a great team effort,"' said Brown, the team captain. Matt Lo.igthorn's interception return for a touchdown sparked Chi Omega/Sigma Chi #1 for the win. SPORTS OF THE DAIL Y: Tudor, Cards blank Royals M~artin QTlroui-des By Adam Martin Frieder puts everyone on hold . . a IMWorinesuworth wai? TWO FIVE-INCH stacks of messages clutter his desk. But time is a scarce resource. The messages go untouched. Everbody wants something from Bill Frieder these days, but the head coach of the Michigan basketball program has little to give. "Everything concerns me right now," he says from behind his maize 'n' blue desk. And everything means everything for Frieder. Sports Illustrated wants a photo session, reporters want interviews, and the fans want last year's top-ranked team to return. But Frieder can't worry about what other people want. One month separates the October Wolverines from the new, fresh, 1985-86 version that takes the court November 22 in Hawaii. In one month, Frieder must re-energize the veterans, teach the newcomers, construct gameplans,.t cope with injuries, get people in playing shape, and build morale. All in one month. Can he do it? Can the Wolverines revive their championship potential and conquer the Big Ten again? Can a team that lost in the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season return to prominence and go as far or farther in the tourney than people expected? The questions, like the messages, go unanswered. To prepare for what could be a pivotal season in Michigan basketball, Bill Frieder calculates and considers, and above all deals with things at his own pace. The team is his most important concern. "Media attention is a problem," he said. "I get along well with the media, but to say 'yes' every time is burden- some. I've got to crack down so it won't affect our team." The media wants to decorate the Wolverines, to build fan expectation, to construct heroes before the first tip-off. Frieder wants his Wolverines to prove their worth after the game begins. The six-year Michigan coach doesn't expect his club to run off an almost en- dless string of victories like last year. He doesn't even expect a Big Ten title. "Seventeen (the length of Michigan's Frieder '84-'85 win streak) is an exception," said Frieder. "When you look realistically, we could berbetter and go far- ther, but not have the same record and maybe not win the Big Ten. You don't know what's going to happen." The future is uncertain. Frieder, however, isn't worrying about the future. He's got to be at practice every day, like his players. The future will be largely influenced by preparation. And Frieder keeps his eye on progress. "I'm not overwhelmed and happy (with the team so far) and I'm not discouraged and disappointed," he said. "We're off to a decent start, but it could be much better. And we've got a long way to go." Frieder of course knows what Michigan was last year, and would like nothing better to surpass last season's success. He also knows the significance of the work ethic. "You never know if (the players) realize how hard they're gonna have to work to be successful again this season," he said. "No matter how hard you work to get to the top, you have to work harder to stay there, and I don't know if they realize that yet." Frieder recognizes what kind of effort it'll take to win consecutive Big Ten Championships. He recognizes how tough the conference looks in Oc- tober. He even realizes how slim a chance there is to win another 17 in a row. But the messages - of every sort - will have to wait. '0' ST. LOUIS (AP) - John Tudor pit- ched a five-hitter and the St. Louis Cardinals showed unusual power, defeating the Kansas City Royals 3-0 last night to move within one victory of their second World Series cham- pionship in four years.
