Page 8 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, January 13, 1986 ICERS SPLIT WITH TOP-RANKED BOWING GREEN Blue crests past Falcons I The Keai I| By By SCOTT G. MILLER The space shuttle may have had trouble getting off the ground recen- tly, but the Michigan hockey team took its own space ship to the stars Friday night. The Wolverines came back from a 4-1 deficit to defeat Bowling Green, the number one team in the nation, 7-4 at Bowling Green Ice Arena. Unfortunately for the Wolverines, Bowling Green shut off the power to the Michigan shuttle Saturday night at Yost Arena. Michigan returned to earth as the Falcons won 7-3. MICHIGAN'S blast off was fueled by the outstanding play of goalie Tim Makris. The sophomore stopped 38 shots in the loss and 25 in the victory. Many were of the spectacular variety. "(We thought) Michigan's weakest part is their goaltenders. He played very well," said Falcon goalie Gary Kruzich. "He surprised the whole team. The big thing was shoot on the goaltender, shoot on the goaltender. He came up with a lot of nice saves." "Makris is playing great," said Michigan coach Red Berenson. "If he can continue to play at that level, we are going to be a team to contend with. At least we should be able to reach close to our full potential as a team." THE WOLVERINES reached their full potential Friday with out of this world play by some unlikely heroes. With Michigan trailing 4-3 in the third period, Chris Seychel came flying down the left wing and rifled a slap- per. The shot hit Kruzich in the upper body and freshman Mike Cusack was in front to bat in the high rebound for the biggest goal in his young college career. The rebound was almost too high. "The puck came up, the goalie was down, and I tapped it in," said Cusack. "My stick was at chest level, but I had to wait a little bit (for the referee's signal). I was confident." Another hero was right winger Joe Lockwood. The sophomore took a per- fect pass from Billy Powers, who dug the puck out of a corner, and fired a low shot from the slot to beat Kruzich for the game winner. "Joe Lockwood has a knack for big goals and that was one of them," said Berenson. PAT GOFF was the hero of a defen- se tested by the academic ineligibility of blue liner Gary Lorden. Michigan played mostly four defensemen the entire weekend. Goff responded to the challenge. "I thought Pat Goff as a senior came up with maybe one of his finest weekends," commented Beren- son. Bowling Green coach Jerry York was not surprised by Michigan's ex- traterrestrial play. "Michigan generally plays very well against us. Their six or seven top players are as good as anyone has in the conference," said York. "Defen- sively, I think (Todd) Carlile, (Myles) O'Connor, and (Jeff) Norton are top players. When Seychel, (Tom) Stiles, (Todd) Brost, and (Brad) Jones are going, that is an impressive team. "I FIND it hard to figure what their record is because when they play us they do well." Bowling Green grounded the Wolverines Saturday by forcing Michigan's best players into penalties. Michigan's lack of depth cost them when Norton was given a game disqualification for spearing in the second period. Also, Jones, the team's leading scorer, was given a ten minute misconduct early in the third period. "We have a few players that stand out such as Jones and Seychel. They invite player's going after them being as good as they are," said team cap- tain Frank Downing. "I think that (the Falcons) were doing that. I heard some of the words exchanged, and I know they were looking for those guys." THE FALCON power play that had not scored in six attempts Friday rebounded Saturday to tally three goals in another six attempts. "The key to the game was capitalizing on the power play," said York. "We moved the puck much better tonight." The Wolverines vaulted to an early 2-0 lead in the first period on goals by Lockwood and Downing. Michigan could not convert other opportunities and allowed Bowling Green to stay in the contest. In the first period, had the puck gone in for us on a couple of excellent scoring chances, we might had gotten a little more of a lead," said Beren- son. "Once they got back in the game they outplayed us for the last two periods." The power was literally shut off when Yost Arena went dark with less than a minute to play in the game. Someone accidentally turned off the Freon lights, and the referee called the game. "(The lights going out) upset me because we run a first class organization here," said Downing. "Bowling Green fans saying the lights are out the party is over added insult to injury."

New England 31, Miami 14 MIAMI (AP) - The New England Patriots turned their "team of destiny" label into reality yesterday, getting 24 points from four fumble recoveries and three short touchdown passes from Tony Eason to qualify for the Super Bowl by beating the Miami Dolphins 31-14 in the American Foot- ball Conference championship game. The victory ended an 18-game New England losing streak in the Orange Bowl and was the first defeat in AFC title games for the Dolphins, who were hoping to qualify for a record sixth Super Bowl appearance. IN BEATING Miami in the Orange,, Bowl for the first time since 1966, the Patriots became the first team ever to ' qualify for the Super Bowl by winning three playoff games on the road.

His match with Pat Boyd was a draw and he was pinned by Mike Cole. Tony Latora also split, beating Dean Bubolo of the Irish 7-0. and losing 19-5 to Ken Nellis of Clarion. 158-pounder Mike Amine also had a mixed day, winning his first match over Dan Carrigan 5-1 and going down to Ken Haselrig in two aggressive contests. In fact, Amine's aggressiveness cost him points in both matches. Amine explained the foul that gave Carrigan his only point. "I'm a mat wrestler and I like to ride the guy from behind. That time I just lost track of his arm position and the P1lit start ref called the foul," Amine said. Notre Dame head coach Fran Mc- Cann had nothing but respect for the Wolverines' aggressiveness. "I think our boys were a little intimidate' coming in and wrestling them here. We have a young squad and Michigan just showed more determination. That's what you have to do to win the close ones," McCann said. Freshman Joe Pantaleo split his matches at 167. Kevin Hill had a good meet with a victory and a draw. His opponent from Notre Dame, John Krug, seemed to resemble a fire hydrant in appearance and technique. Krug spent most of the match in a four-corners offense, content to stall his way to the loss. Relief from an otherwise depressing loss to Clarion was provided by heavyweight Kirk Trost and Clarion coach Bob Bubb. With the match already won, Bubb decided to save his regular heavyweight and in- stead sent out Sam Thomas as designated sacrificial lamb. Thomas was fortunate to score in his 16-1 loss.
