Goalie piture...
...in Sharp focus

By SCOTT SHAFFER
It wasn't just a shutout. It was
Warren Sharples serving notice that
he has emerged as Michigan's top
goaltender.
By turning back 30 shots in
Saturday's 6-0 whitewashing of
Ferris State, Sharples led the
Wolverines to their first road
shutout since 1981. His play
convinced head coach Red Berenson
to do away with the platoon system
that had been in effect all season.
"Things change, but right now he's
our the number-one goalie," said
Berenson.
Normally, Sharples and Glen
Neary, both freshmen, played one
game apiece every weekend. Their
goals against averages were 5.80
and 6.17, respectively, going into
last weekend. But Sharples played
well enough in the last two periods
of Friday's 5-3 loss to Ferris State
to earn a start on the following
evening. He responded with his
gem, making several spectacular
saves late in the game to preserve
the shutout. "I came out strong and
stayed in control," said Sharples,
who lowered his average to 5.40
goals against.
Sharples has always shown that

he has the ability to make the
tough saves. His problems have
been letting in the easy ones and
leaving his skates too often. "I
didn't let in any terrible goals this
weekend, and that in itself is a step
up from the way I'd been playing,"
said the Calgary, Alberta, native.
While Sharples minded the nets
in Big Rapids, Neary watched both
games from the press box. Mike
Rossi suited up as the backup.
Neary hasn't played since January
9, when he was removed after
surrendering three first-period goals
to Illinois-Chicago.
"I'm a little disappointed," said
the 6-2, 205-pound goalie, "and
when you don't even dress, it
makes it that much harder. But it's
all up to the coaches."
Neary's status is even further
clouded by the return of Tim
Makris, last year's starter. Makris,
a junior, was academically
ineligible last semester because of
what Berenson calls a technicality
involving an incomplete class.
Although Makris' stats were
unimpressive (5.48 gaa, 10 straight
losses to end the year), they are as
much a reflection on last year's
team as they are on him. And it

must be noted that Makris was in
goal for two wins against the
national champions, Michigan
State, last year.
"We have four goalies now, "
said Berenson, "and hopefully
between the other three we'll find
someone to come up to Warren's
level and provide us with depth."
For his part, Sharples must
strive to maintain his consistency.
His play against Ferris State was
outstanding, but the Bulldogs are
not one of the stronger teams in the
Central Collegiate Hockey
Association. His next test as the
main man between the pipes is a
tough one - a home-and-home
series with first-place Michigan
State this weekend. Should he
falter, there are three goalies who
have something to prove.
Wolverine defenseman Myles
O'Connor was named CCHA Co-
Player of the Week along with
Bowling Green's lain Duncan.
O'Connor scored four goals this
weekend, two in each game.
"He had a great series," said
Berenson. "He's shooting the puck
well, he's anticipating well and his
shots are on target."

grapplers drop two of three

By DOUGLAS VOLAN
When Jim McMahon injured his
shoulder, the Bears fell. When Jim
Harbaugh broke his arm in 1984,
the Wolverines fell. When Doug
Wyland contracted mono, the
Michigan wrestling team fell.
Michigan stormed out of the
gate with a 4-1 record this season.
Then Wyland became ill, and the
Wolverines took a plunge, going 1-
2-1 in their last four meets. After a
16-16 tie with Northwestern at
Crisler Arena, the Wolverines
embarked otr a four-day; three-meet
road trip to Indiana, Illiinois and
Purdue, where they lost two out of
their three contests.
"In the two matches we lost,"

said coach Dale Bahr, "Doug would
have been the difference in both."
THE ROAD trip started out
well, as Michigan destroyed Indiana
23-14 on Thursday. Everything
went downhill from there, however,
as the Wolverines were edged by
Illinois on Saturday, 18-16, and
then trounced by Purdue, 24-12, on
Sunday.
"(The two defeats were)
unacceptable as far as we're
concerned," said assistant coach Joe
Wells. "There is no reason why this
should have occurred."
The meet against Illinois was
particularly depressing, as the
Wolverines lost four separate
matches in the last ten seconds

when they were either tied or ahead
of their opponent at the time. If
Michigan had won or tied any of
those four matches, it would have
won the meet.
The upperclassmen failed to pick
up the slack for the incapacitated
Wyland. Junior Mike Amine and
seniors Jerry Curby and Ray Yerkes
each lost both of their matches
against Illinois and Purdue.
" It's just a situation where we
need our upperclassmen to continue
to take the match to their
opponent," said Wells. "They can't,
be content with keeping the match
close. They have to get ahead and
put some more points on the
board."

Women cagers lose
The Michigan State Spartans
dominated the women's basketball
team in the first half of their game
last weekend in East Lansing and
held on for a 73-65 victory over
Michigan.
Michigan's record now stands at
8-6, 1-4 in the Big 10.
MSU raced to a 44-27 halftime
lead on the strength of seven- and
eight-point runs. Michigan head
coach Bud De Van Wege described
State's opening up a 19-point lead
in the first half as "no burst - it
was like a slow death."
The story of the game was
Michigan's inability to come back
from the huge deficit. "We played
one half," said Van De Wege. "We
were really taken away with what
we wanted to do offensively. You
spend so much coming back, it's
sometimes hard to get over the
hump."
Michigan did fight back, though,
led by junior Lorea Feldman's 18
points. Freshman Lisa Reynolds
poured in 17, hauled down 12
rebounds, and had three blocked
shots. Vonnie Thompson
contributed with 12 points and
eight assists, "We had an
outstanding second half as we
executed extremely well," said Van
De Wege. -ROB LEVINE

Tankers drown OSU

By ALLEN GELDERLOOS
Big Ten champions?
Maybe the women's swim team
isn't looking that far into the future
but they are definetly headed in the
right direction as the Wolverines
*downed Ohio State, last year's Big
Ten champions and favorites to
repeat, by a convincing 80-59
score.
"We swam pretty solidly," said
head coach Jim Richardson. "They
were missing two or three key
swimmers and we took advantage of
that."
S U Z I E Rabiah led the
Michigan attack with two
outstanding back-to-back swims.
The sophomore was triumphant in
the 1650-yard freestyle (17:19.1)
and seconds later was back in the
water winning the 200 free with a
1:53.6 clocking.
"She is a great competitor,"

commented Richardson. "She's
swimming consistently better in
workouts and is a more mature
swimmer than last year."
NCAA qualifier Christi Vedejs
also turned in a pair of first-place
finishes in the 100 and 200
breaststrokes. In the 200, Vedejs,
behind by nearly three seconds at
the 100 mark, swam an excellent
last 100 to win by over two
seconds.
TEAMMATE Candice Quinn
followed Vedejs in both
breaststrokes as she turned in "a
really good swim and her best
unrested time" of 2:26.9 in the 200.
Richardson was also pleased
with the way divers Bonnie
Pankopf and Mary Fishbach
performed facing one of the nation's
best diving schools.
"Both divers were great and they
really helped us out," said

Richardson,
Pankopf won the three-meter
diving and took third in the one-
meter while Fishbach placed second
on each.
Also having a fine meet was
freshman Laura Rollins, swimming
personal bests in both the 100 and
200 backstrokes with times of
1:01.8 and 2:13.0, respectively.
Other individual winners
included Jennifer Eck in the 50 and
100 frees (24.9 and 54.3).
