Sweep
Continued from Page 1
Down by two, the Lakers got
shot-happy, taking 15 shots on goal
in the third period. Michigan goalie
Warren Sharples stymied Lake
Superior most of the time, saving
nine shots within 10 feet of the net,
but the Lakers' persistence eventually
paid off. Don't worry, get shot-
happy.
Center Jim Dowd scored from just
to the left of Sharples with 5:27 left,
bringing the Lakers within one goal.
With just nine seconds remaining
in the game, Sharples left the net to
slap a loose puck down the ice, but
Stauber reached it first, slapping the
puck to de Carle, who was waiting in
front of the crease. De Carle flipped
the puck past the sprawling Sharples.
Norris Arena erupted.
De Carle, however, was called for
holding with two seconds left in
regulation.
"That got momentum our way,"
Roberts said of the resulting
Michigan power play. "If it wasn't
for that power play, (the momentum)
could have gone either way."
Then Pardoski scored the game
winner, his third career goal in Norris
Ice Arena.
Pardoski and Sharples kept their
game sharp for Saturday night's
contest. Sharples came up big,
saving 32 of 33 Laker shots,
marking the 29th time in his career
that he has made more than 30 saves
in a game.
"It's nice to be able to contribute,
to have a good game," Sharples said.
"I needed one as much as the team did
because I didn't play especially well
last weekend."
In the second period, Pardoski
picked up where he left off Friday,
giving Michigan all the goals it
needed.
He scored two goals, one on a
pass fiom center Rob Brown and the
other on a breakaway. Of his 11
career goals, Pardoski has scored five
in Norris Arena and only one in Yost
Ice Arena. Center Mike Moes scored
the sweep-insuring goal three
minutes later.
Lake Superior (2-4) has lost. three
of its last four games. Last year, the
Lakers lost only four league contests
all season. Lakers coach Frank
Anzalone refused to talk to reporters
after both contests. He did not allow
his players to comment, either.
Michigan faces Bowling Green
next weekend.
"Taking two games in a row from.
the national champs makes us feel
really good," right winger Kent
Brothers said. "But you can't get too
high. Everyone here is happy, but
we've got to be realistic and look
toward Bowling Green."

SPECIAL TO THE DAILY
EVANSTON - Mark Messner and John Kolesar
have started for Michigan for four years now. But they
had never visited Northwestern's Dyche Stadium before
Saturday afternoon.
The two made their first and last visit to Evanston a
memorable one. Messner and Kolesar lived up to their
big-play reputations, sparking Michigan to its runaway
victory.
Messner set the tone for the game on the first play
from scrimmage, dumping Northwestern's acclaimed
running back, ByronSanders, for a three-yard loss.
"I knew then it would be a long day," Sanders said
after the game.
Messner, never low on enthusiasm, did his usual
pump dance and distributed high-fives to his defensive
mates. If anyone thought Michigan wouldn't be able to
get up for one of the perennial doormats, of the Big Ten,
Messner put those worries to rest.
A big play for a defensive lineman is a tackle for loss.
Messner became Michigan's all-time leader in this
category this season. Saturday, he had three more.
Whenever a big play needs to be made, Messner seems to
be there. Whenever a spark is needed, Messner seems to
provide it.
Northwestern is an improving team. Their offense is
capable, ranking fifth in the Big Ten and scoring 20
points per game. But Wildcats quarterback Greg
Bradshaw, avoiding the rush all day, passed for only 105
yards.
Wildcats hardly
"It's the guys up front who make the difference," kickoff for a touchdown - either here or in high school.

Bradshaw said. "If I had the time, I could find guys
open."
Sanders became the first running back to gain 100
yards on Michigan this year, but overall, the Wolverines
held Northwestern well in check. And Messner was there
all day.
"I' don't think we blocked him all day," said
Northwestern head coach Francis Peay.
Bradshaw, who will be seeing the number 60 in his
nightmares, said: "(Messner) is just a great ballplayer.
He's got quickness like I've never seen."
The other Mr. Quickness
On the other side of the ball, Kolesar is Michigan's
Mr. Quickness and Mr. Big Play.
The senior flanker played a key role in helping the
Michigan offense, which managed only three points in
the last 20 minutes of the first half, explode for 21 third-
quarter points to put the game out of reach.
Early in the quarter, Kolesar returned a punt 60 yards
to the Northwestern one-yard line. Kolesar took the low,
short kick, found a hole and took off down the right
sideline.
"That's what happens when you have a short, low-
flying, no hang-time kick,"wKolesar said. " .You can
pick your holes because you have at least 20 yards before
you even hit the first wall of blockers."
Unbelievably, Kolesar has never returned a punt or
And this one was oh so close.
On Michigan's next possession, Kolesar caught a 22-
yard pass that set up the reverse he scored on from 15
yards out.
"He's a big-play man for them," said Northwestern's
free safety and leading tackler, Dwight James. "He's one
of the best all-around players in the Big Ten."
Kolesar established his big-play reputation in his first
year when he caught a 73-yard touchdown pass from Jim
Harbaugh against Ohio State. Kolesar has averaged 24
yards per catch in his career, the second highest total in
Michigan history.
No matter how much talent you have, a team needs
someone who, when he gets the ball, makes something
special happen. Kolesar is still that someone for the
Wolverines.
Messner is that someone when the Wolverine are on
defense.
And now their college careers are winding down.
Farewell
College careers are not long enough to have true
farewell tours. In the pros it is different. Walter Payton
Knew ya
enjoyed standing ovations in each city he visited in hi t
final year. When Reggie Jackson retired last year, he
received the sametreatment. Kareem will enjoy that
recognition too, if he ever calls it quits.
But in big-time college football, most players start
for only two, maybe three, years. Very few enjoy star
recognition for more than two years.
Messner and Kolesar are exceptions. Most fans around
the Big Ten have watched them as Michigan stars two or
three times.
In Iowa City, Madison, and soon in Columbus,
Messner and Kolesar perform for the last time for hostile
but admiring fans.
In Evanston, it was hello, good-bye. Michigan tries
to avoid Evanston. The take is much higher with
105,000 fans than with 33,000. The Wolverines last
played there in 1982. The next time is 1992.
The monetary aspect is understandable, but fans in
Evanston have been deprived of seeing the fantastic talent
of Michigan's big-play stars. Those who only care about
Northwestern winning shouldn't be upset to see Messner
and Kolesar go. True football fans, though, are left sadly
saying, "Good-bye, Mark and John, we hardly got to
know ya."
