Losing just four players from a
roster of 23 is usually an encouraging
y omen for the coming year. But niot
when two of the four are Colin Chin
and Ray Staszak.
Illinois-Chicago hockey coach Val
Belmonte entered this season with the
prospect of having to replace the top
two scorers in the school's history.
Chin, a Pittsburgh Penguin rookie,
scored 146 points in his four-year
career, including 72 last year. Staszak
,.tallied 52 goals and 52 assists in his
V0 three years, with 65 points last season
before becoming a Detroit Red Wing.
IN CHIN and Staszak's absence,
goal production appeared to be the
weakness of the 1985-86 Flames (4-6).
But Belmonte believes his team.
misses most the pair's intangible
presence. "You can't replace their
, leadership," the third-year head
coach said. "They were naturals. The
kids really looked up to them.
"So far this year, nobody has step-
ped in to replace them as team leader.
We're still waiting for that to happen."
Michigan, which hosts the Flames
tonight and tomorrow at Yost Ice
Arena won't have to wait for Belmon-
te's offense to happen. Illinois-
ETRIE Chicago's total of 52 goals is best in
ction the CCHA. The Flames have five
cago players among the league leaders in
scoring.
line, tops the team with two goals and
17 assists, tying him for second in the
league with Michigan's Brad Jones.
Freshmen Sheldon Gorski and
Trent Rees are Rucinski's linemates
this year. Rees (4-7-11) was a player-
of-the-week nominee last weekend
with an eight-point series against
Ferris State, including a hat trick in
the series finale. Gorski (9-4-13) led
the Saskatchewan Junior League in
scoring last year with 128 points, in-
cluding a record 79 goals, breaking
the mark set by Brian Propp
(Philadelphia Flyers).
"Gorski has been really good for
them," said Michigan coach Red
Berenson. "He's helped fill the hole in
goal scoring (left by Staszak and
Chin)."
"SCORING has not been a problem,"
said Belmonte. "We are right on target
of our record point production last
season."
Opponents have found the Flames'
net an easy target, however. "We
really need to work on our defense,"
said Belmonte. "Our goals against
average is quite high, even though it's
down from last year. We haven't had
enough improvement there."
The goaltending has not helped the
defense much. Top goalie Brad Ryan,
who has seen action in nine of Illinois-
Chicago's ten games, has a goals-
against average of 4.68. Junior net-
minder Jim Hickey is last in the con-
ference at 8.26.
BELMONTE defends his goalies
because his defense does not. "We
have not played well in front of
Ryan should get the nod tonght
against the offensive-minded
Wolverines. "This should be an ex-
citing series," Belmonte said. "The
two teams are similar in many ways.
Both can score, and both have high
goals-against (averages).
"Every time we play Michigan, it's
an exciting, wide-open game.""
Berenson would rather see two
"W's" than two exciting games. "It's
homestead for four weeks," -said
Berenson. We are tied with them
(with eight points each), and the only
way we will finish ahead of them is to
beat them."
Beating the Flames will be more
difficult without the services of in-
jured senior forward Tom Stiles,
Defensemen Gary Lorden (leg) and
Dan Capuano (shoulder) will also be
unavailable this weekend.

MEN AND WOMEN FACE CINCINNA TI IN OPENER:
~*"Tankers look to tame Bearcats
By CHRISTIAN M. MARTIN
Tomorrow at Matt Mann Pool the powerful Michigan
men's swimming team, led by fourth-year coach John Ur-
banchek takes on the University of Cincinnati in a dual
swim meet. Also featured on the main card is the
Wolverine women's team, under first year coach Jim
Richardson, facing off against the mighty Bearcats, also
from Cincinnati.
The weekend's meet will most probably yield a record
of one victory and no loss, with the men's team reaping
the glory for the old Maize and Blue.
"I DON'T think they (Cincinnati) have a very good
team," said Urbanchek. "We shouldn't really have any
problem. We will probably win every event."
"The Michigan men's team will probably be the
toughest team we face this year," said Cincinnati's co-
coach of both women's and men's swimming Jim Busch.
"We are really looking forward to the competition. They
are too deep for our team, though."'
The Michigan men's attack will be spearheaded by
senior Captain Marc Parrish from Detroit. Parrish has
captured all-Big Ten honors for three years in a row with
consistently strong performances in the 200-yard
breakstroke and individual medly.
ALSO EXPECT to show strongly for the Wolverines will
be sophomore Jan-Erik Olsen from Kolbjornsvik, Nor-
way, who specializes in the breakstroke and junior Joe
Parker from Battle Creek who won All-American honors
for the 1983-84 swim season.
On the women's side of the coin, things do not look nearly
as bright for Michigan. The
Bearcats are a very strong
team, ranked 20th in the NCAA
and are led by the nation's
second-ranked sprinter
Carolyn Cooper.
"We are not going to try to
swim head to head with Cin-
cinnati. We - are going to tryd
and swim through them,"
said women's coach Jim Ri-
chardson. "We want our
swimmers to get some
positive feedback from t Lunsford a
.*meet so that they do wellL nfoda

"(MICHIGAN) has a nice squad, but they are not a real
big team," commented Busch. "On Jim's behalf it will
probably take a while to build his personality into his
team."
Michigan will try and stop the Cincinnati attack with
junior sensation Lisa Lunsford from Concord, Califor-
nia who specializes in the 200-meter butterfly.
However, both Wolverine teams are looking beyond this
match to the beginning of the Big Ten season later this
month. Michigan's women's team is using this meet to
test different line-ups and combinations.
"WE ARE swimming events so we know what kind of
flexibility is on the team," pointed out Richardson. "This
is important in respect to the upcoming Big Ten season.
With the movement I can find out about our options, and
hopefully we will be more flexible in the Big Ten."
Michigan's men are using the meet to further their con-
ditioning and game experience.
"WE swim through these meets so we find out how fast
they go unrested, and know who are our best swimmers,"
said Urbanchek. "We don't rest. We continue on status
quo. Everything is just the same. No time off."
THIS IS the attitude that allows Jon Urbanchek to gar-
ner top recruits and has many thinking that his
Wolverines could go far this year.
"John had had an outstanding recruiting year," said
Cincinnati's coach Busch. "He has a legitimate chance to
win the Big Ten this year."
Although the contests sound rather one sided there
should be some exciting moments. Some of the best swim-
mers in the country like Cincinnati's Carolyn Cooper and
the Wolverines Marc Parrish
and Joe Parker will be in at-
tendance Saturday at Matt
Mann Pool and that display of
talent alone should be ex-
.r citing.
The meets are also set up in
suchtaeway that one team will
be the decided favorite in
every event and individual up-
sets could be plentiful. It is
also possible that either of the
teams being overconfident
id Parrish could stumble and fall.
