Vollleyball vs. Central Michigan Tomorrow, 7:30 p.m. IM Building SPORTS Monday, November 10, 1986 Hockey vs. Michigan State Friday, 7:30 p.m. Yost Ice Arena The Michigan Daily Page 9 BLUE BRAWLS WITH BULLDOGS Icers settle for one with Ferris By DARREN JASEY Two teams fighting to stay out of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association basement met head on at Yost Ice Arena Friday and Saturday night. Both teams pulled out late third period victories, and a bench-clearing brawl after Saturday's game put an exclamation point on the hard-fought series. A strong display of forechecking and defense, plus a controversial penalty helped Michigan to a 5-4 victory over Ferris State Friday night. However, the Bulldogs lifted their intensity level Saturday to squeak out a 6-4 decision. THE Bulldogs snapped an eight- game losing streak and now stand 2-8 in the CCHA (2-9 overall) while Michigan moved to 3-7 in the conference. "They used their size well (Friday)," Ferris State head coach John Perpich said. "They used their size and build to control the puck." On Saturday the Wolverines weren't quite as tough on the Bulldogs. "DEFENSIVELY- we gave them too much," said Michigan head coach Red Berenson. "As soon as our guy misses an assignment - it's just like football - somebody is going to be open." FerristState center Peter Lowden was able to find an opening and tap in a puck that bounded between Michigan goaltender Glen Neary's legs with under three minutes left in Saturday night's game. That score put the Bulldogs ahead to stay 5-4. Neary had made several spectacularhsaves earlier in the period to keep Michigan tied 4-4, but he couldn't handle that one. Gary Sweetnam's empty net goal finished off the scoring forFerris State. "I JUST went in strong after it and I managed to get a stick on it," Lowden said. "I thought it was going to hit" my pads,-but it hit ended up hitting' my stick," Neary said. "It ricocheted between my pads and landed between my legs. I just saw it too late." Friday night was another story. Michigan scored twice to break open a 3-3 tie late in the third period after Bulldog center Rod Schluter was handed a controversial five-minute major for slashing Bryan Deasley. ALTHOUGH Bulldog head coach John Perpich had a bone to pick, he wasn't directly critical of referee Jeff Schell's call. "Let's just say it was 52 minutes of even hockey," he said. "I think we outplayed them," said Bulldog right winger Mike Sparago, who scored a pair of goals Friday night. "Without that penalty we would'have won the game." Myles O'Connor struck first for the Wolverines during the major at 12:36 with a hard slapshot that was reminiscent of his game-winning shot in the season opener against Bowling Green. The goal gave Michigan the lead for good at 4-3. "IT IS something we've been working on in practice," said O'Connor of his goal. "It was a great pass from Jonesy (Brad Jones) to Todd (Brost), and Todd just feathered one out to me and I put it in. Before the penalty expired, fellow defenseman Jeff Norton boosted the score to 5-3 with his fifth goal of the season. Perhaps the biggest goal of the first game for Michigan came midway through tfie second period. Ferris State had just scored two goals within a 1:01 span to take a 3-2 lead, but 20 seconds later Brad McCaughey notched his fourth goal of the season. '"IT WAS lucky," said Mc - Caughey. "I took a chance and busted out of the zone and then IA Wee Special Package *Valid Friday. Saturday and Sunday nights.

In Saturday night's loss, nifty passing and shooting by Brost, Jones and Norton gave Michigan momentary hope by turning a 3-1 deficit into a 4-3 lead. lidAn 1 kend per roomqper night (up to 4 people) INCLUDES: *Full American Breakfast " Luxurious Guest Room *Cable TV: HBO & ESPN *lndoor Pool *Justin's Place Restaurant * Bowties Nightclub Daily Photo by JOHN MUNSON Michigan freshman wing Ryan Pardoski battles Ferris State's Gary Sweetnam in Friday night action at Yost Arena.
