e Baseball Blue-Maize Games Tomorrow and Sunday 1 p.m. Ray Fisher Stadium he Michigan Daily SPORTS Friday, November 7, 1986 ICERS SEEK CONFIDENCE AGAINST FERRIS STATE Volleyball vs. Indiana Tomorrow, 7:30 p.m. IM Building Page IC 4 Red sends By DARREN JASEY Michigan head coach Red erenson has tutored his young hockey team through what he calls crash course in college hockey. So far Michigan has barely passed with a seventh- place standing in .he Central Collegiate Hockey Association. But with Ferris State (1-7-0 in the CCHA, 1-8-0 overall) coming to Yost Ice Arena tonight, the Wolverines hope to bring that grade up a few points. "It is the start of an important homestand," said Berenson, whose -6 team plays six of its next eight at home. "A homestand we have to use to build some momentum and build some confidence and get some points." "WE'VE GOT to win to get our confidence back," said junior winger Billy Powers. "We have to keep pace. There is that pack of teams in the league bunched together that we have to keep close to so that later on we can make a run at them." Confidence, confidence, confidence. It's a word that is often overused but appropriate in Michigan's case. One reason is that the team has failed to put together a string of victories. Another is the sweep suffered at Illinois-Chicago last week. "It is a series between two frustrated teams," said Ferris State's head coach John Perpich, whose icers team may be less confident than Berenson's. "It is not a good weekend to be coming into Michigan after their losses to Illinois-Chicago." LAST WEEKEND wasn't Perpich's idea of fun, either. Last weekend in Big Rapids, the Bulldogs were swept 3-2 and 4-3 by Lake Superior State. Before that the Bulldogs dropped four successive games to Michigan State and Western Michigan. The only Ferris State victory came against Illinois-Chicago the first weekend of the season. "I don't view our team as being a disapointment," said Perpich, who is in his first year as head coach. "We have to get untracked and to the improve our goal scoring. If we score some goals then we would have won a couple of these games we lost." "They are not being blown out by teams," said Berenson. "They've been in a lot of their games. They've been a step away and a player away from winning. They could easily be in third place." THE BULLDOGS will be without two defensive starters for the series. Freshman John Bergeron suffered a collapsed lung two weeks ago, and sophomore Dean Davies, their only nonfreshman defenseman, will sit out his second weekend of a fighting suspension. Two players Ferris State will have are twin brothers Paul and 'Dogs Peter Lowden. The senior duo lead the Ferris State offense with 11 and 10 points, restpectivly. "They are nifty players," said Berenson. "They are very good with the puck. If they have the room to work with they're very effective." As for Michigan's health, the food poisoning that affected them last weekend is history. Fortunately, the full squad was healthy by Wednesday's workout. q Powers ...keeping the pace M spikers seek revenge agaist OU, Idian By JULIE HOLLMAN The volleyball team will battle with blocks and spikes during two weekend Big Ten clashes in the Intramural Building, against Ohio State and Indiana. The Wolverines are not sure what to expect from Ohio Statg since the Buckeyes' captain and all- Big Ten player, Christy Newman; is out with a broken foot. Even so, the Buckeyes boast a quick back court and a keen ability for digging See SPIKERS, page 12 GRIDDE PICKS 0iMCi l Ear Ik~our mo00. 1. MICHIGAN at Purdue (Pick total points) 2.
