Blue hopes to halt
By SCOTT G. MILLER
"When the two schools get together
you can throw out the record book,"
said Michigan State assistant hockey
coach George Gwozdecky.
Red Berenson and his players would
love to do just that. Even though
Michigan holds a series edge of 89-69-
3, the Spartans have won six straight
and 14 of the last 15 contests. But the
trend may be reversed this weekend
when the two squads meet tonight at
Yost Ice Arena and tomorrow night in
East Lansing.
"THE RECORDS are the records,
and they have the recent edge," said
the Wolverine head man. "It is
something that is going to change.
"I think we are going to be more
competitive with Michigan State than
we have been in the last three years,
and I am hoping that will start
showing this weekend."
Berenson is optimistic because the
Spar
Spartans don't have the overpoweringl
squad of past seasons. Despite
playing nine freshmen, Michigan
State is still a formidable opponent.
The Spartans 6-1-1 record is tops in the
CCHA.
"I STILL respect them as possibly
the top team in the league but not a
team that is going to blow away the
other teams night after night," said
Berenson. "I think the chemistry of
their team has changed. You just
don't take nine top players out of a
team without affecting their play."
The best of the Spartan freshmen is
center Joe Murphy, who leads the
team in scoring with nine goals and
six assists. Other freshmen making
important contributions are def en-
semen Brad Hamilton and Chris
Luongo.
While there are many new faces on
the team, the goalies continue to be
the backbone of the Spartans' suc-
cess. "We have been as good as our
goaltending," said Michigan State
coach Ron Mason. "It has been very
consistent." .
THE JUNIOR tandem of Bob
Essensa and Norm Foster is the best
duo in college hockey. Essensa is the
top goalie in the CCHA with a goals
against average of 2.50 and Foster is
close behind with a 3.36 goals against,
which places him third in the league.
Defensively the Spartans are not as
good as the goalies' numbers would
indicate. "Defensively we have not
been truly outstanding. The defense
has been average because the players
are so young," said Mason.
Team captain Don McSween is the
anchor on the blue line. "Don has been
a real team leader," said Mason.
Senior Brad Beck adds additional
stability to the defense.
MICHIGAN STATE hopes to utilize
its talent to have a complete team ef-
fort. "We are not really pleased with
our performance as a team, and I

Things are looking up for the
women's volleyball team.
With two consecutive wins (one of
them in the conference), their hitting
errors cut in half and a strong mental
game, the Wolverines expect a close
battle from both Northwestern and
Iowa this weekend in Ann Arbor.
"WE'RE WINNING now," said
head coach Barb Canning. "More
than ever, our starting lineup is really
playing together as a team."
Canning said the Wolverines, who
are now 13-14, 3-8 in the conference,
owe their successes to individual im-
provements in hitting and emotional
concentration..
"In the last couple of weeks, we've
reduced our errors." Canning said.
"Jennifer Hickman in improving fast
and Marie Ann Davidson is really ef-
fective in the setting position."

above the Wolverines in conference
standings, is a young, inexperienced
and beatable team.
Against Iowa, the Wolverines will
concentrate on playing their own

smart, and generally, our serving

Canning said.

Wolverine swimmers face
the real thing in Etobicoke
By CHRISTIAN M. MARTIN
Canadian power Etobicoke Univer-
sity takes on the University of
Michigan's womens swim team in a
match-up of top ten team versus Big
Ten team.
For the 1985-86 season the Maize
and Blue have only 14 swimmers on
their roster as opposed to the 24 that
Etobicoke and most universities
carry.
"WE ARE a very, very small team.
From the standpoint of depth we don't
have any," said Michigan head coach
Jim Richardson. "It will be difficult to
be competitive across the boards but
we will have our moments.'
Etobicoke, winner of six of the last
seven short- and long-course national
championships in womens swimming,
will be a very tough opponent for the
*hard-working Wolverines.
"I don't want to say this is going to
be a character-building year for us.
We are going to work hard, swim fast
and win the ones we can," Richardson
said. "We are not a powerhouse, but
we are going to try to have a

If the Wolverines keep their tough-

strong showing Saturday and maybe
surprise a few people.
