Sannie Van Dijck, Northwestern's sophomore ;midfielder, scored twice in providing all of the offense for the Wildcats. Junior back Katrina Warner scored for Michigan.

CALL SCOTT WINSTON 338-4500 ev. 761-6973 back quickly, however, scoring 39 seconds later when Warner spanked a shot past Northwestern goalie Robin Clark. Clark saved two other first period shots by Michigan, but was largely untested in the second period. Michigan's offense sputtered as Northwestern retained ball control throughout the second half. Clark gained her only save of the period on Michigan's lone second- half shot by senior midfielder Joan Taylor. Northwestern, meanwhile, took 14 shots at the Michigan net, several coming on seven second- half penalty corners for the Wildcats. Michigan goal-keeper Maryann Bell racked up twelve of her 21 saves in the second period. MICHIGAN was outshot again, 4-1, in the first overtime period. But goalie Bell's key saves kept the game tied 1-1 and forced double overtime. Michigan quickly worked the ball into Northwestern territory at the beginning of the final overtime period. Less than a minute had expired before Michigan took its first shot. Senior midfielder Jane Nixon slapped the ball hard at the Northwestern net, but directly at goalie Clark, who gained her fifth and final save. Northwestern regained ball control and penetrated deep into Michigan territory, where Van Dijck scored the deciding goal, on an assist from sophomore back Lorette Vorstman, with 6:31 remaining. THOUGH disappointed with the loss, Michigan coach Karen Collins was pleased with her team's performance. "Our defense played extremely well. Northwestern can force a lot of errors, but we didn't get into that today," Collins said. "Maryann was excellent," Collins added. "The way she's been playing, she certainly deserves respect as one of the top goal- keepers in the country." Northwestern coach Nancy Stevens agreed. "Michigan's defense was brilliant, and their goalie is outstanding. Michigan is certainly the most improved team in the Big Ten." I /4 I a .

Sharples shuts out State. Sharp Sharples shines. The headline possibilities are endless and so are the Wolverines' chances if freshman goalie Warren Sharples turns in performances like the one in Friday night's intrasquad scrimmage. In the Blue's 7-3 win over the White, the 6-0, 175-pounder from Calgary, Alberta turned away 28 shots, something Wolverine hockey fans are unaccustomed to seeing. To say that the goaltending position coming into this year was a question mark would be an understatement. And the players knew it. "WE'VE been working real hard on defense in practice because we know the goals will come," said sophomore center Todd Brost, who scored the final Blue goal. "The results showed (Friday). Look at the difference between this year's game and last year's." Last year's final in the Blue- White game was 14-8, an ominous sign of the things that were to come for the woeful Wolverines. The goaltending corps went on to yield almost six goals per game. "We saw some good goaltending (Friday)," said head coach Red Berenson. "but you never know in an intrasquad game. You're still playing each other and not a real opponent." IN ADDITION to Sharples' outstanding play, Mike Rossi and Glen Neary also impressed the head coach. "Rossi turned 'in a good game and so did the young kid Neary, especially in the second period. So that's encouraging because the goaltending is an extremely important part of our progress. Don't be fooled by all this talk of goaltending, though. There was still quite a bit of offense in the game. Jeff Urban opened the scoring for the Blue at 8:54 of the first period off of a beautiful feed from freshman Mike Moes. The White team countered with two quick goals by Rob Brown, yet another freshman, and Mr. Offense; himself, Brad Jones. WALK-ON Jim Murray batted in the final goal of the first period to knot the score at two off of a Billy Powers' shot. Unfortunately for Murray, he was cut Saturday. After trading goals in the second period, the Blue scored four unanswered goals to secure the. victory. The winner came off th& stick of highly-touted freshman., Ryan Pardoski, a power play goal> just 20 seconds into the final frame' Still, the goaltending was the bright spot of the evening. "Last year we were at the low point of our goalkeeping history,'! Berenson said. "We were playing one goalie per period. We're going to need some consistency in goaf this year." And need it fast. The team has Bowling Green, considered the team* to beat in the CCHA, coming up in a home-and-home series beginning this Friday. That challenge may well reveal how sharp Sharples really can be.
