SPORTS o" The Michigan Daily Monday, February 13, 1989 Page 10 Icers sweep the Irish BY TAYLOR LINCOLN After Michigan defeated Notre Dame 6-2 in a Friday night non-league hockey game in Southbend, Ind., Fighting Irish head coach Ric Shafer said that Notre Dame stood a better chance of winning the lottery than they did of beating the Wolverines. "There's no way," he said. "We're a fledgling hockey club with four scholarships and they're a highly skilled college hockey team and they're rolling." The game wasn't as close as the score. Michigan (15-9-4 in the CCHA, 19-11-4 overall) was in command all the way and led 5-0 until Notre Dame's Kevin Patrick and Bill Hoelzel parlayed goals within 24 seconds of each other early in the third period. MICHIGAN center Rob Brown finished the scoring with just over ten minutes remaining in the game. Earlier Michigan goals were scored by Alex Roberts, Ryan Pardoski,' Ted Kramer, Mike Moes, and Denny Felsner. "I thought we played fair the whole game," Michigan coach Red Berenson said. "Our overall intensity level and awareness was down." The mood in the Michigan locker room was less than enthusiastic. e Most of the players felt that the Fe Wolverines failed to play up to the ...sco level they have displayed in the past four weeks. "We went into the third period trying not to get anything," said goalie Tim Keough, who started for the first time since January 7 versus Lake Superior State. "They scored those two goals and it was frustrating." Saturday night at Yost Ice Arena, the Wolverines extended their unbeaten streak to 10 games with a 5-2 victory over the Fighting Irish. The attendance of 7,419 people was Michigan's second highest home crowd of the season. NOTRE DAME'S Kevin Markovitz scored a power play goal mid-way through the second period to pull the Irish within 3-2, giving Shafer a reason to have faith in his chances of winning the lottery. Wolverine captain Todd Brost scored 51 seconds later, though, and Felsnej added a goal 16 seconds into the third period to put the game out of reach. "I thought tonight's effort was exceptional," Shafer said. "I'm as proud as a coach can be for losing a game by three goals." Berenson was less pleased. "I don't think we had good habits this weekend, but we'll have to get them back. We didn't expect to give up four goals this weekend." Blue Banter F 0 Michigan wrestler Fritz Lehrke lies underneath second-ranked Mike Whitehead of Northwestern in yesterday's match. Lehrke lost 3-2 dropping his Big Ten record to 8-2-1, but Michigan won 21-12. Well conditioned wrestlers sweat out three more wins -Clinch time: Michigan is on the verge of achieving its foremost preseason goal. With Bowling Green's tie versus Ferris State Saturday night, Michigan now needs only a tie or a win in its final four games to clinch home-ice advantage' for the best-of-three first round of the CCHA playoffs. Isner res again t i' i }. t 5i ds : ( I C BY STEVEN COHEN Though February is the shortest month of the year, it is the longest month psychologically of the wrest- ling season. This weekend, the Michigan wrestling team sped up the lagging month with conquests over Tennessee Chattanooga, 21-16, and Ohio State, 27-6, on Friday and Northwestern, 21-12, yesterday. The victories increased Mich- igan's dual-meet record to 17-2, ' tying the school record set in 1984- 1985. Michigan has won its past 14 matches and support an 11-0 conference record. "At the beginning of the season, a lot of people start out strong, they're fired up," said Michigan's top-ranked 134-pounder John Fisher. "As the season wears on, it starts to mentally and physically wear you down and some people are waiting for the season to be over." THE DRAWN-OUT season hasn't been overly kind to Ohio State. Though ranked No.18 nationally, the Buckeyes are sixth in the grueling Big Ten. The Buckeyes, who lost 30-6 in January to Michigan, were without the services of two of their best wrestlers. The Buckeyes won only the first and last matches against Michigan. Michigan's John Moore feels the team's rigorous training program has led to its success. Moore, who has been weakened by a sore neck, cited the Wolverines' work ethic in de- scribing the efforts of 118-pounder Salem Yaffai, who tied North- western's second-ranked Jack Griffin, and 190-pounder Fritz Lehrke. Lehrke lost highly competitive, close matches to the Moccasins fourth-ranked Charlie Buckshaw and Northwestern's second ranked Mark Whitehead. The meet against Tenn- essee Chattanooga wasn't as close as the score might have indicated. Michigan held a 21-10 lead before losing the final two matches. "BOTH SALEM and Fritz were outconditioning the North- western guys," Moore said. "Their whole team looked tired." Tom Jarman, coach of the No.13 Wildcats, said, "I think Michigan wrestled real well. They beat us up pretty well. They're ranked fourth in the country but I think they're better than that. They're better than (No.3) Penn State." Fisher, 150-pounder Zac Pease, top-ranked Joe Pantaleo (158) and Bob Potokar (HWT) all won by comfortable margins for Michigan. Mike Amine lost to sixth ranked Brad Traviolia, 7-5. Fisher and Amine were members of the '84-'85 team which finished fifth nationally. The two feel that this year's squad is tougher because, "everyone is solid, from 118 on up." Said Lehrke, "We're gonna win our next three matches to put that record so far out of reach that no team will touch it." -A little help from the Baron: Notre Dame coach Shafer complented Berenson for helping his plea for improved hockey funding. "Coach Berenson spoke very eloquently to our assistant athletic directors about what we need to be a competitive program," Shafer said. "They're tired of hearing from me, it was nice to have someone else helping." Michigan's dual swim streak does the cannonball at 46 BY JODI LEICHTMAN Indiana, which ironically was the last team to defeat the Michigan mens swimming and diving team in a dual meet during the 1983-84 season, once again succeeded in destroying a Wolverine winning streak. On Saturday, Michigan's winning streak ended at 46 dual meet wins, when Indiana beat them, 63-50. "The personnel was there to win the meet," head coach Jon Urbanchek said, "It was a really exciting meet. It came down to the last relay - which we lost. "But that's not the end of the world.

The Wolverine's began their weekend strong, however, with a dual-meet win over Purdue, 78-35. MICHIGAN set four new pool records in West Lafayette on Friday evening and captured first place finishes in all events but the 400 yard freestyle relay. Three of Michigan's strong swimmers did not compete this weekend at either the Purdue nor the Indiana meet. Brent Lang and Mike Barrowman stayed home to rest, gearing toward the Big Tens and NCAA's. Eric Namesnik is recovering from mononucleosis. Why did the winning streak end? Did the fact that the Wolverines were without some of their stronger swimmers and on their fourth consecutive road trip hinder their performance? "INDIANA looked like they were all fired up for the meet," said diver Bill Hayes. "Indiana was really emotional and psyched up," Urbanchek said. He also believed that since it was the last meet for Indiana's diving coach and since it was a home meet for Indiana, the Hoosiers had the inspiration to defeat Michigan. Despite the Wolverine's 63-50 loss to Indiana, Michigan took three" first place finishes, 10 second place finishes and seven third place finishes in the 13 events. Wolverine swimmers Eric Bailey, Marty Moran, and Zeb Esselstyn swept the s" 200 yard butterfly event. Diver Bill Hayes finished second in the three meter event. A L THOUGH disappointed, Hayes viewed the meet as perhaps beneficial. "I lost the 3-meter by one point," said Hayes. "I'd rather lose by one point than win by one point because I know I'll work my butt off. And I hope everyone else will take that attitude." Is a defeat really a loss? "It's nice to know you can be ranked No. 2 in the country and still lose to an unranked team if you're not prepared," said Urbanchek. "I'm disappointed for them to lose the meet, but I think it will be better for us to go on and put the dual meet streak behind us so we can concentrate on the Big Tens and NCAA 's."
