Michigan coach Dale Bahr isn't worried. "Our kids are used to wrestling back to back," Bahr said. "All year we've been wrestling mostly two- day tournaments, and for us to wrestle four matches in three days is really not a big deal." MICHIGAN begins a full weekend today. The Wolverines host Northern Illinois and Morgan State today at 1 p.m. The 1989 Big Ten opener is Saturday at Michigan State. Michigan returns home Sunday against Lehigh. The Wolverines will present a lineup change this weekend due to 167-pounder Mike Amine's injured knee ligaments. He will be replaced by Joe Pantaleo, who moves up ,from his usual 158 weight class. Sam Amine will take over 158, and junior Zac Pease will wrestle at 150. Pease had major knee Reconstruction last February and this will be his first match in more than :year. Today's matches will be the first 'at Crisler, where Michigan has compiled a 34-7-1 dual-meet record over the past five seasons. "We wanted to schedule a couple home matches that would not be 1'. A quite as intense as what we had faced against Oklahoma State and Penn State this past weekend," Bahr said. "It'll give us a chance to really kind of catch our breath a little bit." AFTER COMPETING at home on Friday, Michigan will travel to East Lansing to take on intrastate rival Michigan State. "Our kids will really be up for that match," Bahr said. "Any time you're Michigan-Michigan State, it's for the bragging rights of the state." An interesting matchup in East Lansing will take place between Larry Gotcher of Michigan and Stacey Richmond of Michigan State in the 142 division. Earlier in the season at the Las Vegas Classic, Richmond defeated Gotcher, 3-2, on a controversial stalling call. According to Bahr and Michigan assistant coach Joe Wells, the call could have gone either way. "This will be the most interesting of all the matches because (Gotcher) does not like to lose to Stacey," Bahr said. But Richmond always seems to wrestle at his best against the Wolverines. "(Richmond) kind of resented the fact that we didn't recruit him because John (Fisher) and (former wrestler and current grad assistant) Will Waters were here." All three wrestled together in high school at Flint Northern. MICHIGAN'S toughest challenge will come in Sunday's 4 p.m. home match against 21st- ranked Lehigh. Last year the Wolverines defeated Lehigh, 29-11. "If there is a match that we would like to peak for on the weekend, it would be the Lehigh bout on Sunday," Bahr said. Lehigh, which has been a top 10 school over the past 10 to 15 years, comes to Ann Arbor at less than full strength. "They're coming off a road trip against Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, and we're third team on the trip, so (Lehigh) must be ready to get home after those three matches," Bahr said. Oklahoma State is rated No. 1 and Oklahoma also is a top team. The Wolverines have another tough weekend ahead of them next week, but Bahr said they are not looking ahead to it. "We're going to just take this weekend as it comes and come out free of injuries."

'M' and Bowling Green to play for fourth place BY TAYLOR LINCOLN Michigan's quest for a fourth-place finish in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association and home ice for the opening round of the league playoffs will be tested this weeekend when the fifth-place Wolverines face fourth-place Bowling Green. After 20 games, Bowling Green (10-10-0) leads Michigan (8-9-3) by one point in the league standings. Tonight the Wolverines travel to Bowling Green. Saturday the same two teams will face off at Yost. The Wolverines' slip into fifth place has been due to their 1-8-1 record in their last ten league games. "We need to get back to the things we were doing earlier in the year," coach Red Berenson said. But this won't be an easy time for the Wolverines to stem the tide of downward fortunes. Aside from the team's distraction caused by the disclosure that four players may be charged with harrassment, the Wolverines will be without the services of Mark Sorenson, who is out with a knee injury. Brad Turner and Kent Brothers are also questionable. As Berenson said, "This hasn't been a good week for us." FOR BOWLING GREEN it has been a season of streaks. The Falcons won seven of their first eight then dropped eight of their next nine. Since then, they have won eight of nine. "Early in the season we won games that we probably shouldn't have," Bowling Green coach Jerry York said. "Then we started losing a lot of tight games. Now we're finding ways to win." Bowling Green is led by senior center Greg Parks, who is second in the league in scoring with 40 points. "(Parks) is putting points on the board. We'll have to shut him down," Berenson said. The Falcons have given up the second-most goals in the league, but they have compensated for it by scoring 90 goals - the second-highest total in the league. "They've got some real shifty forwards," Michigan center Mike Moes said. "We can't give them any room." BERENSON said that goalie Warren Sharples will probably be given the job of stopping the Falcons attack. He has been sharing time with first- year netminder Tim Keough. Earlier in the season the teams split their series, with Bowling Green winning at Yost and Michigan coming back from a 4-1 deficit to win in Bowling Green. "We've had unpredictable series against them," Berenson said. "We've won the last three times down there, and they've won the last three times at Yost." But road victories and home losses have been the rule rather than the exception for the Wolverines this year, as they have gone nine games without a win at home, yet enjoy a 6-2-1 record on the road. "I don't think we've played poorly at home. We just haven't won. You think you play better at home without doing some things that you have to do on the road. Maybe it's checking, maybe it's intensity." Michigan's win in Bowling Green was marred by a fight at the culmination of the first period that resulted in 10 players receiving game disqualifications. The Wolverines came back from a 4-1 deficit to win, 7-6. Though both teams remember the incident, Michigan center Rob Brown doesn't think that there will be a contunuation of bad tempers. "I think both teams know where they are in the standings, and I don't think people are going to worry about who shoves who," Brown said. BY JAY MOSES Even the mighty sometimes face foes that strike fear into their hearts. The undefeated Michigan women's swimming team, ranked ninth nationally, heads into the Longhorn Invitational meet this weekend at Austin, Tex., to face the& toughest competition they have seen all year. "We're going to be in a fight for our lives down there," head coach Jim Richardson said. Among the Wolverines' formidable opponents this weekend include host Texas, ranked second nationally and defending national champions, and Tennessee, ranked sixth nationally. Perennial powers Cal Berkeley, South Carolina, and Georgia round out the field. Many of these teams are entering the weekend with the intention of establishing NCAA qualifying times. The tough competition tends to bring out the best times for swimmers. They will be well-rested in preparation for the weekend. Michigan, on the other hand, has entered the heavy training phase of its season. The Wolverines accomplished all of their NCAA qualifying times at the Michigan Invitational in December, and their emphasis has shifted to increasing speed in preparation for the Big Ten championships in February. As a result, some Wolverines will be relatively fatigued. None of this has Richardson* overly concerned. "If you can't get excited about swimming against this kind of competition, you don't belong in Division I," Richardson said. "We're just going down there to try to do the same thing we do in every meet, and that's to swim the best we can:?' Michigan (4-0 overall, 3-0 in the Big Ten) hopes the challenge it faces this weekend will help strengthen them for the remainder of the season. Right now, all sights are set on the Big Ten championships, to be held in Ann Arbor. The Wolverines are led by individual NCAA qualifyers Ann Colloton, Gwen DeMaat, and Stefanie Liebner. But the emphasis this weekend is on the entire team.j "It's a big step for our program," Richardson said. "We're going np against the national champions. I don't think Michigan has ever done that before, so it's a great growth experience for our swimmers." * , :1.' 1 t- ^ * Gotcher battles MSU's Richmond tI S WHAT'S HAPPENING RECREATIONAL SPORTS LEARN TO CROSS COUNTRY SKI THIS WINTER!
