This weekend's home games with Boston College are what the Wolverines have been waiting for all season. "The kids on our team from Boston have been talking about the quality of play (in the east) all year," said Michigan head poach Red Berenson. "There's a competitive comparison between our league and (Hockey East). It's a chance to show that we're as good as their league." Defenseman Todd Copeland and right wing Billy Powers, both natives of Massachusetts, agree. "Even though it's not a league game, it's just as important for bragging rights," said Copeland. "I've been looking forward to this game ever since they put it on the schedule." "I'VE PLAYED W I T H everyone on their team over the summer so it will be real special for me." said Powers. "I've definitely been looking forward to this game." "I know a couple of guys on their team, so it's going to be for pride," added defenseman Gary Lorden, a Rhode Island native. "I just want them to know that Michigan is as good as they are, or better." This series couldn't have come at a better time for the Wolverines. After being swept last weekend at' Lake Superior, the team was a bit down. But with Boston College coming into town, Michigan couldn't help but get out of the Lort doldrums. ... psych "Last weekend was a complete downer," said Berenson. "This weekend is a chanc4 for us to regroup." IT WAS THE FIRST SERIES all year that the Wolverines did not split. The Wolverines lacked consistency and team defense last weekend , according to Berenson.This was evident by the three third period goals given up in a 3:32 time span in last Saturday's 6-3 defeat. "Sometimes it's worthwhile that a team face reality," said Berenson. "Last weekend was the first time that we haven't salvaged something from each weekend." The Eagles, despite their 4-5 record, will provide the Wolverines with a tough challenge. Just three weeks ago, they were ranked seventh in the WMPL national rankings poll. LAST YEAR'S EAGLE SQUAD was an impressive 31-8. But with five of last year's top seven scorers having departed, four of them for the 1988 U.S. Olympic team, the Eagles have struggled this season. "To tell you the truth," said Boston College hockey coach Len Ceglarski, "we're just taking it one game at a time. With the heavy losses from last year's team, we've got eleven kids who have never played a varsity game before this year." Nevertheless, Berenson remains concerned. "They're a very skilled team," said Berenson. "We're not experimenting with Boston College. en It's just as important as a league series." do ,.mo Daily Photo by JOHN MUNSON, Ryan Pardoski and his Wolverine teammates hope to end their three-game losing streak against Boston College this weekend at Yost Ice Arena. ed for BC Three Rivers cheese-o-rama THE OFFICE OF MAJOR EVENTS PRESENTS C&h Bu nym e n Echo- PITTSBURGH (AP)- A man drove a station wagon into Three Rivers- Stadium yesterday, nearly hitting four workers as he sped along walkways at up to 50 mph, knocked over gallons of nacho cheese and wrecked the car, authorities said. The driver, Tony E. Morelli, 30, of Wintersville, Ohio, was kicking imaginary field goals on the football field when he was arrested by police, authorities said. Morelli underwent a psychiatric examination at St. John's Health and Hospital Center, where doctors released him in police custody, said police spokeswoman Margaret Rizza. NO ONE WAS HURT in the incident, Rizza said. Charges of reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and criminal trespassing were pending, she said. The car entered the stadium at about 11 a.m. through Gate C, which was open, officials said. "He just rode in here in a white station wagon and took half the wall off my office, a concrete brick wall, then he ran into a couple of our four- wheel-drive trucks with 70 to 80 gallons of nacho cheese," said Ted Winters, 62, of Pittsburgh, commissary manager. WITNESSES SAID the car was covered with cheese as it left the stadium at Gate B and re-entered, racing along walkways and up ramps HI-Fl STUDIO ANN ARBOR RADIO & TV TAE RECORDER SERVICES VCR Cleaning & Repairs Speakr Repairs & Components TVRepairs & Rentals Phoo Needles, Cartridges & Service Phn tylii - Woofers, Tweeters, Etc.
