Women's Swimming vs. Michigan State Sunday, 2 p.m. Canham Natatorium SPORTS Gymnastics vs. Ohio State Saturday, 7:30 p.m. Crisler Arena The Michigan Daily Tuesday, January 24, 1989 Page 7 Blue Lines BY TAYLOR LINCOLN Ten days ago the Michigan hockey team found itself hurtling downward in the CCHA with a 1-8- 1 record in its last 10 league games. The Wolverines slipped to fifth place and faced a two-game series against fourth-place Bowling Green, winners of nine of its last 10. Adversity surrounded the team due to injuries and an off-ice controversy involving four of its players. "We need a big weekend," coach Red Berenson said prior to the Bowling Green series. They had a big weekend. MICHIGAN swept the Falcons with two solid third-period efforts and continued its winning ways this past weekend by sweeping Ferris State. Now the Wolverines sit all alone in fourth place, five points ahead of Bowling Green, only one point behind third-place Illinois-Chicago. The mark of the current Michigan winning streak has been the emergence of several players who had much less impact in the first part of the season. Unlikely sources key 'M' sweeps The Helber brothers, Tim and Mike, combined for five goals, in the last two series, more than doubling their season output. Jim Ballantine scored twice in the closing minutes to seal the win over Bowling Green, then opened the scoring against Ferris State last Friday. He's also added two assists in the past four games. ON DEFENSE, Todd Cope- land and Alex Roberts have compensated for the absence of the injured Brad Turner (four games) and Mark Sorensen (two games). Copeland scored two of his three goals and assisted in five others in the last two series. "Al Roberts is playing the best hockey of his career," Berenson said. "Copeland is playing with a little more confidence. They are beginning to step up and play the kind of hockey we thought they were capable of." Copeland and Roberts also helped keep pressure off goalie Warren Sharples, who was called upon to save only 12 Ferris State shots in Friday's win. Sharples, the CCHA Player of the Week, has given up only five goals in the past four games. He played as well as a goalie can play two Fridays ago in the third period against the Falcons. He made 12 saves, including several spectacular stops while the teams were tied, 2- 2. Michigan scored four times in the final six minutes to win, 6-2. SATURDAY, Sharples was called on to help again. Ferris State outshot Michigan, 18-7, in the first period, but Sharples was true to each test and when the teams skated off at intermission, Michigan led, 2-0. "They really came at us," Beren- son said. "Sharples was the diffe- rence in the game at that point." The re-emergence of Denny Felsner and the continued excellent play of center Mike Moes are two more factors in the Wolverines' turnaround. Felsner, who started fast then slumped in the mid- season, scored four goals and had two assists in the last four games. Although Moes hasn't scored in the last two weeks, his presence has Blue rolling Wrestlers pick up steam by topping Big Ten rivals ROBIN I!OZNAK'/Doily Left-winger Don Stone and the Michigan hockey team are challenging for third place in the CCHA. been felt in other ways. He had four assists, including two that opened the floodgates in Bowling Green. DESPITE their recent fortunes, though, the greatest test for the Wolverines lies ahead. Six of their final eight games will be played on the road, where Michigan must continue its winning ways. The Wolverines must prove that they can deal with success without letdowns. Earlier, they won five out of six to rise to second place in the standings. With Ohio State, which was tied for last place, next on their schedule, it looked as if two more wins were on the horizon. Instead, the Buckeyes swept Michigan. The Wolverines wound up in a tailspin that lasted for two months. Now the Wolverines have won four straight, and their next oppo- nent is none other than Ohio State. BY STEVEN COHEN After being ranked No.I nationally. in a preseason poll, the fourth-ranked Michigan wrestling team is expected to defeat most of its competition. But not necessarily in the fashion with which the Wolverines defeated its three opponents, Indiana, Illinois, and Purdue, last weekend. Thursday night, the Wolverines faced the 13th-ranked Hoosiers, who Michigan coach Dale Bahr expected to be the toughest team of the three. They were. Michigan defeated Indiana, 30-10. THE WOLVERINES followed by drubbing Illinois 36-9, and Purdue, 44-2. "It was a nice, relaxing weekend" for us," Bahr said. "We wrestled like we were Michigan and expected to win. When we wrestle teams in the top five-Oklahoma State, Arizona State, Penn State, and Iowa, we expect it to be a real good dual meet. If we wrestle other teams in the top ten it should be close. But (outside of the top ten) we really expect toF win." Bahr couldn't always expect victories. Two years ago, Michigan lost a dual meet at Purdue. Although this was a different, injury-ridden Boilermaker squad, with five first- year wrestlers, Michigan still had the: bitter taste of defeat in its mouth to propel them to a near-flawless performance. Mike Amine returned from the knee injury suffered in a win against top-ranked Mike Farrel of Oklahoma State, to pin his Purdue opponent.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Illinois became the first team this season other than Duke to hold the No. 1 position in The Associated Press college basketball poll on Monday. It also marked the first time the Fighting Illini have held that spot in the regular season in 37 years. The only undefeated Division 1 team, Illinois received 62 of the 65 first place votes cast and 1,296 points from the nationwide panel of sportswriters and broadcasters. The Fighting Illini were pushed to the limit Sunday to win their 17th straight, a 103-92 double-overtime victory over Georgia Tech. The last time Illinois held the No.1 spot in the regular season was in the poll released on Jan. 22, 1952 when it took over the top spot from Kansas. The Fighting Illini held it just one week as they lost to DePaul four days later. ILLINOIS was No. 1 in the preseason poll for the 1952-53 season but lost an early season Big Ten game with Minnesota. Michigan, 15-3 after a 71-68 loss to Wisconsin, dropped from sixth to tenth place. Duke had held the No. 1 spot in the preseason poll and in the first nine regular-season votings but the Blue Devils, 13-2 lost their first games of the season this week, a 20- point home loss to North Carolina and a 75-71 loss at Wake Forest to fall to eighth in the voting. GEORGETOWN, Louisville and Oklahoma each advanced one place in the voting as did Illinois. The Hoyas, 14-1, took second with one first-place vote and 1,173 points, just six more than Louisville, 13-2, which hadthe other two first-place votes. Oklahoma, 15-2, moved up to fourth with 1,079 points and was followed by fellow Big Eight member Missouri, 16-3 which received 939 points in moving up three places from last week. Arizona, 13-2, which also moved up three spots, was sixth with 884 points, nine more than North Carolina, which improved to 16-3 with victories over Duke and North Carolina State. Duke, Seton Hall and Michigan rounded out the Top Ten.
