The Wolverines clinched a playoff berth 4 last weekend, and they are vir- tually eliminated from contention for home ice. But Michigan coach Red Beren- son still has goals in mind. "JUST because we've made the playoffs shouldn't change things," Berenson said. "We'd still like to finish strong.' The'second-year head man would like to improve on last season's seventh-place finish. The task is complicated because the two teams ahead of Michigan, Ferris State and Illinois-Chicago, both beat the Wolverines three out of four games. "We want some momentum so we can not just make the playoffs, but make our mark in them,"~ Berensonsaid. "The wayhto do that is to get some team confiden-. ce." MICHIGAN certainly will not be overconfident against the Lakers. }Lake Superior (18-13-1 overall, 15- 12-1 in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association) has defeated the Wolverines in all eight meetings since Berenson took over from John Giordano. The Laker have a ten-game unbeaten strea against Michigan, including a2 game sweep in the CCHA playoff at Sault Ste. Marie last season. "Lake Superior has had ou number," Berenson said. "I don see them as that much better tha us. We always seem to catch then on the rebound." The Lakers will be trying b rebound tonight from a 7-3 loss b Ferris State last Saturday. "WV have outchanced teams," sai Lake Superior coach Frank An zalone, "but we're not getting th scoring we need from our uppe classmen." IN FACT, Anzalone's squadi getting little scoring from anyon The Lakers' top point score senior left winger Scott Johnso (16-17-33) is tied for 25th in the con ference. Lake Superior has n players among the top fort overall scorers. "We're not going to outscoi anyone 9-8," said Anzalone. " we're going to win, we'll win wit our defense." Michigan, however, was defen seless last Saturday at Illinoi Chicago.Berenson is looking f defensive improvement, but, & always, offense remains the key. "WE'RE CLOSER to our gam when we're scoring goals," h Superior said. "We're a better team when rs we score six or seven goals than k when we're in a 2-1 game. We're 2 more consistent when we're scoring. Scoring on Lake Superior's :. it goaltending duo will be a t challenge. Juniors Joe Shawhan (3.58) and Randy Exelby (3.67) are " second and third among CCHA goalies in overall goaltending. to Shawhan is first in league to goaltending, with a 3.13 mark. e The only mark Anzalone desires id is a fourth-place finish in the con- n- ference. "Our goal is home ice," 1e said the fourth-year coach, whose r- team is only three points out of third place behind Western is Michigan.

Cable television station Pro-Am Sports System (PASS) will televise the Wolverines, 14th in the nation, in what Michigan head coach Jon Ur- banchek says "should be a good show." "THIS MEET will be like a see- saw, back and forth the whole way," said the fourth year coach. "These teams are evenly matched from the first relay to the last relay." Both teams are also undefeated, Michigan at 5-0 and Iowa at 6-0, and are looking to stay that way until the Big Ten Championships in a month. But after tonight's dual meet, one of these powerhouses will go into the - conference championships with a slight edge. "Perhaps Iowa is a little bit favored on paper because they have had some faster times," Urbanchek admitted. "But it should go down to the last relay." MICHIGAN, 25-1 under Urbanchek, will be swimming with a strong squad of 27. Urbanchek feels this will help the Wolverines because they will not be tired, and will have to perform as a team. "Nobody is a superstar, nobody has a lot of pressure on them to win," Ur- banchek said. "This will have to be a team effort." Michigan's strategy lies in the relay races. "We're shooting for two good relays, extremely good, so the pressure is not just on one person," said Urbanchek. "It'll make it easier on the individual events." THE INDIVIDUAL races is where Urbanchek thinks the Hawkeyes will dominate. "They have one swimmer, John Davey, who is swimming three in- dividual events and could win all three," Urbanchek noted. Although this is an important dual meet for Michigan, its goals still lie four weeks away in Indianapolis with the Big Ten Championships. Coach Ur- banchek feels this meet will be the best preparation for the conference meet. "It'll be good to match up with these boys (Iowa)," said Urbanchek. "It should be an exciting dual meet and give us a chance to see what we're up against." Urbanchek is not the only one who thinks this meet will be down to the wire. PASS will also be on hand. By JEFF RUSH The ball won't be the only object up for grabs when it is tossed up to start the second half of the Big Ten's women's basketball campaign. Michigan and its weekend opponen- ts, Purdue and Illinois, are seeking finishes in the league's upper division. Not one of the three teams finished in the top half of the Big Ten last year. PURDUE AND Illinois both stand at 4-5 in the Big Ten, while Michigan is 5-4. Two home wins would almost guarantee the Wolverines a .500 finish in the conference. Michigan faces the Boilermakers at 7:30 tonight in a rematch of the game that began an impressive string of wins by the Wolverines. After beating Purdue on the road, 71-68, Michigan returned to Crisler Arena for wins against Minnesota and nationally- ranked Iowa. Purdue starts a young lineup, with only one senior starter. The team's inexperience may explain some of its earlier problems with defense. Referring to the team's first game against Michigan, Purdue coach Ruth Jones said "Those young ladies (from Michigan) were not pressured at all. "WE HOPE to play better defense (this time) by putting better pressure on them," said Jones, referring specifically to Michigan's Wendy Bradetich and Lorea Feldman. Leading the defensive charge for Purdue will be junior forward Cathey Tyree and sophomore guard Sharon Versyp, a freshman All-America pick last year. Versyp is the floor general, and is equally adept on offense and defense, scoring 15.3 points per game and hawking the ball when on defense. Tyree averages 13.1 points per game, and adds rebounding power down low. The two were important in the Boilermakers' win last Friday over Illinois. Versyp collected six steals, and Tyree grabbed nine rebounds in the 72-55 victory. "They played great defense against Illinois," said Jones. Michigan coach Bud Van De Wege does not seem overly concerned with Versyp's potential for causing tur- novers, but instead is worried about the Wolverines' inside game. To combat 6-4 Boilermaker center Christa LaCroix, Van De Wege may have to rely on 6-3 reserves Sharob Sonntag and Val Hall. Sonntag came off the bench in the earlier win to put in ten points and grab five rebounds. Michigan faces the fighting Illini on Sunday, led by center Polk and for- ward Angie McClellan. Van De Weg is wary of both. "They have one of the bette' players in the league of Jonelle Poly, and Angie McClellan is'a tough mat- chup too. She is big enough and strong enough as a forward, but she is quick enough to be a guard." FONDEHOSA your Valentine to a sweethealtr steakdinner at Ponderosa tonight. Fit..
