The Pittsburgh native is currently fourth among Wolverines in wins with 27 and tied for second in pins with 10. Wyland was runner-up at 118 pounds at the Ohio Open and the Las Vegas Classic, and he beat Iowa's Steve Knight for the championship at the Northern Open. THAT IS a mouthful for anyone, let alone a freshman. "It doesn't happen very often when a kid can beat some of the best wrestlers in the country as a freshman," said Michigan head coach Dale Bahr. Wyland's journey to Michigan star- ted at North Allegheny High School just outside of Pittsburgh. He com- piled a record of 101-9 in three years and was State AAA Champion in Pen- nsylvania his senior year at 112 poun- ds. "I would have put him up against any collegiate wrestler, knowing he wouldn't embarrass himself," said his high school coach Gus D'Augustino. "That's how good he was." D'AUGUSTINO knew Wyland was special, even in junior high. "He had good balance, nice position, and he was very easy to teach." With Wyland's high school success came the college offers. After Prin- ceton rejected, him, Wyland con- sidered Indiana and North Carolina but decided to come to Michigan. Bahr became aware of Wyland through D'Augustino, who works at his summer camp. "I knew the type of program Michigan had and also the coaching staff," explained D'Augustino. "I didn't push Doug into going to Michigan, but I told him he should look into it." "I LIKED the good combination of wrestling and academics (at Michigan)," said Wyland. "The con- centration on wrestling wasn't un- balanced with education. "Michigan is a classy organization. It's nice to be part of something with so much tradition." Wyland started the 1985-86 season behind junior William Waters, but Bahr soon became aware of his poten- tial. "Two or three weeks into prac- tice we had Will (Waters) and (Wyland) go a couple of matches just to see how he would do," said Bahr. "Doug won one, and Will won one. "RIGHT THEN I knew because I have a lot of respect for Will's wrestling, and if a freshman can come in and in three weeks stick with a junior who has already been in the Big Ten finals, then he has to be tough." During the early season meets, Wyland started to firmly establish himself. "I was real happy with the way I did. I gained momentum from week to week. "At first all I wanted to do was make the team. That was my goal. Af- ter I found I could keep up with these guys, I gained someeconfidence and realized I belonged here." BAHR ATTRIBUTES Wyland's early success to his strength. "A lot of freshmen are not as physically strong as upper classmen, but Doug came in as a very physical freshman, so he didn't have that problem with ad- justing. "In addition to that, he has great technique, and he's a great com- petitor." Wyland's success has not come easy, and the length of the season has started to take its toll. On the Wolverines' current road trip, Wyland lost consecutive matches at North- western and Iowa State. "I lost to a kid I should not have lost to at Iowa State," he said. "The length of the season has definitely affected my wrestling. It's just unbelievable. The season is about two and a half months longer than in high school. "You don't meet any bums in college wrestling like in high school. You have to be prepared to go seven hard minutes every match." Saturday will be somewhat of a homecoming for Wyland as he and the team travel to Pennsylvania to face highly regarded Penn State. The competition and the location may just send Wyland back on the winning road. -~--~--Daily Photo by -._ .._ Freshman Doug Wyland has been a strong addition to this year's the team, and he has tallied 27 wins wrestling at 118 pounds.

Tarheels win in OT ATLANTA (AP) - Brad Daugherty sent the game into overtime with a 10- footer from the baseline and then gave top-ranked North Carolina the lead it never relinquished as the Tar Heels overcame a 13-point second-half deficit and edged No. 2 Georgia Tech, 78-77, in an Atlantic Coast Conference basketball game last night. Joe Wolf hit four free throws in the final 46 seconds of overtime, including two that iced the game with 11 seconds left in the first meeting this season between teams ranked first and second in The Associated Press poll. GEORGIA Tech appeared to have the game under control when Mark Price sank two free throws with 11:56 remaining to give the Yellow Jackets a 59-46 lead. Wolf started a 9-0 run by the Tar Heels, who eventually cut the lead to two points on a 20-footer by freshman Jeff Lebo with 4:55 to play. Lebo later drilled two free throws with 1:19 remaining to cut the lead to 69-68. Antoine Ford hit one of two free throws for Georgia Tech five seconds later and Daugherty closed out the regulation scoring at 70-70 with 55 seconds left. After Daughterty hit a 15-foot jum- per from the free-throw line, Smith made a layup to give North Carolina a 74-70 lead in the five-minute extra period. UPI Hoops Poll Overall Pts. 1.
