Page 8 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, January 24, 1989 Blue Continued from Page 1 19, to draw Michigan within one at 45-44. The game swayed back and forth with a crucial moment coming when Michigan guard Rumeal Robinson fouled out with 7:38 to play. Frieder, who has continuously bemoanded the lack of true guards on his team, was now at a loss in trying to stop Edwards, who scored 11 points in the next 4:08 to give Indiana a three-point lead, 69-66, at the 3:20 mark. In what was an interesting twist at the start of the game, Michigan's head coach, Frieder was booed louder than visiting coach Bobby Knight. However, Frieder's team reacted positively to the criticism of their coach by jumping out to a 10-7 lead behind three pointers by guards Sean Higgins and Robinson. But the Hoosiers came back to take a 14-13 lead. Subsequently, three lead changes transpired with the Hoosiers finally taking control of the half at 20-17, with 10:16. remaining. Led by Edwards with eight points and Joe Hillman with seven, the Hoosiers maintained a lead until 2:50 remained in the half, At that time, a Michigan run of 7-4 was lead by Kirk Taylor, who replaced Robinson, due to early foul trouble. Taylor, a guard who has seen a limited amount of playing time lately, scored on a layup ash well as assisting on a Loy Vaught jump shot from the lane to give Michigan a 34-32 halftime bulge. 'M' drops two close ones on road, falls to 0-6 in Big Ten BY ADAM BENSON Hopefully, Bud VanDeWege likes watching disaster movies. If that is the case, the Michigan women's basketball coach can someday enjoy watching the video tape of his team's losses at Northwestern and Wisconsin from this past weekend. Forget the 'The Towering Inferno' or 'The Poseidon Adventure'. VanDeWege would claim that this weekend's games rank right up there with those two disaster classics In both games, Michigan led their opponents late in the game. Against Northwestern, the Wolverines led 51-50 with 3:17 left in the game. But Wildcat star Carrie Lawless blazed through the Wolverines for six of her 18 points in those final minutes to lead the Wildcats to a 58-51 comeback win. MICHIGAN had an identical 51-50 lead with 5:40 left against Wisconsin, before the Badgers drowned out the Wolverine offense. Wisconsin center Janetta Johnson blocked six shots and grabbed nine defensive rebounds, while Shelly Rucinski provided 19 points for the Badgers. The losses dropped Michigan's record to 0-6 in the Bi(T Tin The Wolverines did have several would-be heroes. Forward Tanya Powell scored a career-high 23 points against Northwestern on Friday, hitting 11 of 18 shots from the field. "Tanya Powell has been our rock and our leader," VanDeWege said about his star. "She has had to carry us in some games. I couldn't ask anything more of her." FIRST-YEAR PLAYERS Char Durand and Leah Wooldridge also put forth noble attempts to save the slipping Wolverines from falling further into the Big Ten's cellar. Wooldridge had 10 points against the Wildcats including two three-pointers, and nine points against Wisconsin. Durand, who started over preseason All-Big Ten pick Tempie Brown, took top scoring honors on Sunday with 13 points against the Badgers. But obviously, their good play was not contagious. As a team, Michigan shot a horrendous 35 percent against Northwestern, and an even scarier 33 percent against Wisconsin. "It was important that we got ourselves in a position to win," VanDeWege said. "Unfortunately, our shooting percentage prevented us from coming out on top. We're simply not putting the ball in the hoop." 0 ELLEN LEV) for the reboun .lg l l. iRolling *m* Continued from Page 7 Earlier Amine, ranked No.4, tied Chuck Poulsen of Indiana and pinned his Illinois opponent. Amine is now 3-0-2 against the highly-ranked Poulsen. AMINE, who still has some soreness in his knee is expected to d be healthy for this weekend's team conference championships in Indianapolis. Purdue had the misfortune of having its two best healthy wrestlers run into Michigan's two top-ranked wrestlers. At 134 pounds, three-time All-American John Fisher met Pat Fitzgerald. Fisher pinned him. At 158 pounds, the Boilermakers' Dave Walter faced All-American Joe Hoosier Eric Anderson wins the battle during the first half. Pantalco. Pantaleo major-decisioned Walter, 12-3. Purdue's points came in the heavyweight match. Purdue's Matt Lindley tied Michigan's Bob Potokar, 1-1. Michigan expects its All- Americans- Fisher, Pantaleo, Mike Amine, and Larry Gotcher to win nearly every match. The surpassing of expectations by the other wrestlers is what might lead to a national championship. MICHIGAN is the only team to be ranked ahead of Iowa in the conference race since 1973. "We have really pulled together," said the 167-pounder Amine. "There is a lot of closeness. It seems like its automatic. We don't need to tell each other to get behind one another."

Michigan National Bank Equal Opportunity Employer Though the Wolverines will face the conference's premier teams this weekend, last weekend's results showed that opposing teams should concern themselves with every Wolverine wrestler. 150-pounder Zac Pease has proven a capable sub for Sam Amine, who sat out last weekend while making weight. Pease, still suffering from a knee injury, has gone 2-2 in the conference. Pease was pinned by two highly-ranked wrestlers and won at Purdue, 8-2. AFTER LOSING five matches to stiff competition at the Virginia Duals, 118-pounder Salem Yaffai, has rebounded to go 6-0-1, including a "payback" victory over Mark Sanfilippo of Purdue on Sunday. Yaffai, who lost to Sanfilippo at the Easten Michigan Open is now 4-0 in Big Ten competition. Like Yaffai, 126-pounder John Moore had difficulty at the Virginia Duals, losing to All-Americans from Oklahoma State and Penn State. But since then, Moore, at 3-0-1 has outclassed his Big Ten competition. Last weekend, Moore tied Sean Hart of Indiana and technical-falled his two other opponents. Fritz Lehrke has also distinguished himself. Lehrke, 4-0 in the Big Ten had two technical falls and decisioned Todd Coulter of Indiana. 0 it INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS FOR: Spring-Summer 1989 Study Abroad Programs are as follows: yi;;r:: "' + " . 1r OXFORD, SUMMER Wednesday January 25, 4:00 P.
