f h fi Volleyball vs. Eastern Michigan Tomorrow, 7:30 IM Building SPORTS Rose Bowl Tickets/Tours On Sale Today Basement, Michigan Union Noon to 7:30 V The Michigan Daily Monday, November 24, 1986 Page 9 # Blue ice By ADAM SCHEFTER Coming off a big third-period win the night before, you might have thought the Wolverines had licked their third-period problem. You thought wrong. Up 6-4 after two periods, the Wolverines floundered ith the two-goal lead and went on to lose 8-6. "We worked hard but we didn't outwork them like last night," said Michigan head coach Red Berenson. "We didn't score when we had to. We made defensive mistakes. . "YOU CAN'T give up eight goals a game and expect to score that many against a good goalkeeper. We're not a team that can score eight goals a game." The Wolverines wasted a hat trick by Brad McCaughey and also a chance to sweep a series for the first time since December 13-14, 1985, against Miami. The Broncos scored four unanswered goals in the third period, the winner coming off the stick of Wayne Gagne while the Broncos were trying to kill off a five- minute major to Jim Culhane. "The key to the whole game," said Bronco head coach Bill Wilkinson, "was the killing off of that five- minute major. We even ended up scoring the winning goal on it." SAID GAGNE about his game-winning goal: "We didn't get a lot of breaks tonight. Finally, I got a two-on-one and I didn't know whether I should pass or shoot. But then the goalie came out and he was spread- eagled. I just put it in." For a while it looked like the Wolverines were taking up where they left off Saturday night. With Bronco Dave Lobdell off for interference, McCaughey picked up a loose puck at the blue line, skated in uncontested and fired a wrist shot that beat Bronco goaltender Bill Horn to the glove side. The goal was McCaughey's seventh on the season and gave the Wolverines a 1-0 lead at 5:52 of the first period. irs blow The score remained that way until 19:19 of the first. With the teams skating at four on four, Gagne fired a slapshot that Ron Hoover managed to tip in. The assist for Gagne extended his scoring streak to 25 games, dating back to February of last season. JUST 27 SECONDS later, with a mad scramble in front of the net, Culhane scored his fifth goal of the season, to give the Broncos a 2-1 lead at the end of one. Whatever Berenson said in the lockerroom during the first intermission worked. The Wolverines scored three goals in the opening 2:26 of the second period. On the first of the three, defenseman Randy Kwong intercepted a pass, crossed the blue line and fed the puck over to McCaughey. McCaughey barely beat Horn with a wrist shot for his second goal. The goal came 44 seconds into the period. Just 1:06 later, Myles O'Connor picked up a loose puck in his own zone. He skated the length of the ice and fired a slapper between Horn's pads for his seventh goal of the season. Billy Powers scored the next Wolverine goal. He outhustled and outmuscled Rob Bryden for the puck deep in the Bronco zone and snuck a wrist shot past Horn. The goal gave the Wolverines a 4-2 lead. With the Broncos skating five on three, Gagne fired a shot from the point that Bryden tipped in. It was his 13th goal and 11th power-play goal of the season. McCaughey countered that with his third goal of the game, and the Wolverines' first hat trick of the year. It was McCaughey's third career hat trick and the goal put Michigan up 5-3. After Bronco right-winger Henry Fung made it a one-goal game, Gagne made a costly defensive blunder. He inadvertantly knocked the puck into his own net while attempting to clear his own zone. The goal was credited to Bruce McNab at 18:41 of the second. iat trick, lose 8-6 Daily Photo by JOHN MUNSON loss to Western Michigan.

'M' rests' By PHIL NUSSEL Ann Arbor returned to normal yesterday in the aftermath of Saturday's monumental 26-24 win at Ohio State, which put Michigan into the Rose Bowl for the first time since the 1982 season. Michigan will meet Pac Ten champ Arizona State, which lost its final game to Arizona, 34- 17. The Wolverines now get a much-deserved week off for Thanksgiving, but will go hyack to work next Monday in preparation for the trip to Hawaii to meet the University of Hawaii Rainbows. "I'M NOT EVEN thinking about that now," said quarterback Jim Harbaugh, who backed up his "guaranteed" victory with a 19-29, 261-yard performance. "I just want to think about how good this win feels and how great it is to see my best friends happy and the coaches feeling so good and seeing my parents and family happy. I just want to concentrate on that for a couple of days." Head coach Bo Schembechler was all smiles yesterday on his weekly television show as he reflected on his 166th win at Michigan, a mark easy in bei which made him the winningest coach in Wolverine football history. "It was a heck of a game and I'm pleased that we won it," he said after the game. "And I am particularly happy because it will be the first time for any of these players to go to the Rose Bowl. For more in-depth coverage of Saturday's win at Ohio State, see the Daily sports extra issue, which came out yesterday. Extra copies are still available at the Daily on 420 Maynard Street. "This is one of the finest squads I've ever had." JAMIE MORRIS had the best day of his three-year career with 210 yards on 29 carries - 150 of those yards were in the second half. "That's the best I've seen him play," Schembechler said. "In the second half, our offensive line did a terrific job in opening hole's for Jamie Morris. "But Morris did a great job. When do you remember any back getting more than 200 yards of Roses against Ohio State?" "I visualized that this would be the game," Morris said. "I wanted to make it all come today. I reached down inside me." It was pure agony on the Ohio State end of the field after kicker Matt Frantz missed a 45-yard field goal attempt with a minute left. The ball went just to the left. - "It was a tough decision, but you have to take that chance," OSU head coach Earle Bruce said. The 8th-year Buckeye coach must now take his 9-3 team to the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. "I thought it was going to be good," a tearful Frantz said. "I just hooked it a' little to the left. (Bruce) asked me if I could do it and I said yes." Blue Bater - Harbaugh, Andy Moeller, and other fifth-year seniors collected money from the team to make a plaque for Schembechler's new Michigan coaching victory record. They had it ready for the Minnesota game, but since the Wolverines lost, it had to be changed for Ohio State - adding more cost to the $200 item. ''meets Memphis in NIT 2nd round By JEFF RUSH Think Michigan's basketball team is in a bind trying to replace the starting frontline of Roy Tarpley, Richard Rellford and Butch Wade? Check out Memphis State. There's much wrong with the Tigers, who are trying to replace three starters from last year's 28- 6 squad that finished second in the Metro Conference to NCAA tournament champion Louis- ville. Big men William Bedford (17.3 points per game, 8.5 rebounds per game) and Baskerville Holmes (14.3 ppg, 7.3 rpg) are gone, as well as four-year starting guard Andre Turner (13.9 ppg and 7.7 assists per game). DANA KIRK is gone, too. Memphis State fired the former head coach in September, and these days he's on the receiving end of an 11-count indictment for actions such as mail fraud and tax evasion. The tale of the Tigers only gets longer. The basketball team, like the Tiger football team, is on NCAA probation for recruiting violations, and is banned from postseason action. And over the summer, the team's best returning player announced he was leaving Memphis State for the third time. He later announced his "return" for the third time. So what's right? FOR STARTERS, the team is in the quarterfinals of the NIT, set to play tonight in its own arena against the Michigan Wolverines, who came away victors in a wild and wooly game (115-107) against Bradley. The unranked Tigers beat 20th-ranked Cleveland State 70- 66 Saturday night at: Memphis to reach the round of eight. Returning starter Vincent Askew, a 6-5 junior swingman and the owner of the hat trick of announcements on his personal location, scored 20 points and had 11 rebounds to lead the Tigers. Askew averaged 10.9 ppg and 6.7 rpg last season. The other returning Memphis State starter is 6-3 junior guard Dwight Boyd, who averaged just under 10 ppg last year. Spiks n By ERIC MAXSON Just when it's starting to get fun, the party's almost over. The University of Michigan volleyball team completed their most successful weekend of the year Saturday night by downing Wisconsin after a hard-fought victory over Northwestern the night before. In fact, it was the most successful weekend in many years. The Big Ten sweep was the first that any of Michigan's players have ever experienced. FRIDAY NIGHT, Northwestern gave the Wolverines (3-13 in the Big Ten) a scare before they succumbed to Coach Joyce Davis' squad for the second time this year, 15-5, 16-14, 7-15, 9- 15, 15-11. "In the third game, we had an- opportunity to win, and we let it slip," said Davis. "In the fourth game, we were stunned by weekend sweep what happened in the third." In the fifth game, though, Michigan got it. back together to take the match. Coach Davis said the Wolverines were helped by a "definite psychological edge," citing the Wildcats miserable record in five-game matches. "It had to be in the back of their minds," she said. After the victory, a sweep was in the front of Michigan's minds, and the historic sweep was exactly what they got. Wisconsin jumped on top quickly the next night, but the Wolverines showed new-found consistency and persistency by coming back to win, 11-15, 16-14, 15-11, 15-6. "We had no long runs of poor play," said Davis, such as had plagued them against Michigan State and others. "There were letdowns, but no major breakdowns." "All the credit has to go to Michigan," said Badgers' coach Steve Lowe. "They did an excellent job serving and their passing is much improved." The Wolverines are finally gelling after an influx of new players and a new coach. The sweep confirmed Michigan's improvement. "We've pulled together," said junior co-captain Lisa Vahi. "Things can only get better." Unfortunately, however, just as the team is maturing, there are only three remaining matches, at home against Eastern Michigan, and then away at Purdue and Big Ten champ Illinois. Obviously, the major significance of the past weekend will be for the future of the program. The Wolverines lose only one senior, middle hitter Jayne Hickman, who was honored before her final match Saturday. "It's like we're putting money in the bank," says Davis. "We'll withdraw it next year." FIESTA& ROSE BOWL rs BUY - TICKETS - SELL DELUXE PARADE SEATING Bill Hayes Worlds Largest Ticket Broker Since 1937 in to give s ALL BOWL GAMES ormances.

Tankers sink Badg By ALLEN GELDERLOOS The men's swimming team powered their way to a 60-53 trouncing of the floundering Wisconsin Badgers at Matt Mann' Pool Saturday. The closeness of the final score was no indication of how badly Michigan trounced the Badgers in winning 11 of 13 events since head coach Jon Urbanchek entered exhibition swimmers in the last four events. Leading the onslaught for the Wolverines was triple winner and R+L L .A .. - turned in swift finishes to surpass the field. Co-captain Joe Parker, a 160- pound senior, captured two events and was right behind Kerska in the 100 Free. Parker edged out the field with a quick 21.5 in the 50 Free and provided a powerful lead-off swim in the victorious 400 Free Relay of Mike Creaser, Greg Varner, and Brent Lang.
