Men's & Women's Cross Country Michigan Invitational Tomorrow, 10:00 Michigan Golf Course The Michigan Daily. SPORTS Friday, October 13,1989 Football at Michigan State Tomorrow, 3:30 p.m. (ABC) Spartan Stadium Page 9 Spikers go by Theodore Cox Daily Sports Writer The Michigan women's volleyball team will drift to the other side of Lake Michigan this weekend, still seeking their first Big Ten victory. Michigan will volley first with Wisconsin tonight in Madison and then head to Evanston to trade serves with Northwestern. Wisconsin boasts one of the top defensive rosters in the Big Ten. As of last week the squad led the conference in blocks per game, averaging 3.73. Much of the defensive credit has to go to junior Lisa Boyd, who manages 2.46 blocks a game herself. The Badgers' Susan Wohlford handles the backcourt defense, leading the conference in digs. Northwestern will feature first-year setter Carey Nostrant. Nostrant tends to set the balls high and to the outside, which is just fine with Wolverine head coach Joyce Davis. "We should have a good match blocking because we'll have time to get two blockers out there," Davis said. west to find a win Michigan's main concern, however, will be on its own side of the net. The Wolverines have been suffering from inconsistent play and an abundance of unforced errors. In Tuesday night's loss to Western Michigan, Michigan committed 4.2 service errors a game, a figure Davis would like to reduce to one or two. Searching for a cure, Davis has tried to establish match pressure during the team's practices. "It's really a physiological effect of whether you feel confident at the service line, where it is in the match, whether it's game point or whether it's zero-zero," Davis said. "All these factors affect the outcome of the serve. In practice you're not going to have the kind of adrenaline going that you have in a match. We try to simulate some match type situations in practice, but it's kind of difficult." Davis will continue alternating Hayley Lorenzen and Kristen Lang as she has been doing for the last few matches. Lorenzen, who's been strong in the frontline, will continue playing there with Lang coming in to play in the backcourt. Lang rotating with Hayley Lorenzen... FILE PHOTO Michigan co-captain Alex Roberts anchors the defense tonight at Miami. Icers to face new-look Redskins in opener. by Andrew Gottesman Daily Hockey Writer When the puck drops between Michigan and Miami of Ohio to start the season tonight in Oxford, Ohio, Wolverine coach Red Berenson may see a little of his own past behind the opposing team's bench. After finishing dead last in the CCHA the last four seasons, the Redskins have started over with new head coach George Gwozdecky, an assistant the last five years at Michigan State. Berenson, like Gwozdecky, was welcomed to the CCHA by a hapless squad six years ago. Since then, the Michigan hockey program has slowly risen to prominence, and is a contender for the league title this season. Gwozdecky knows that Miami, like Michigan, will need patience to ascend in the CCHA. "We've got to be more competitive with the bottom four teams in the league," Gwozdecky said. And because "Michigan is not one of those teams" the Redskins are treating tonight's and tomorrow night's games (Goggin Ice Arena, 7:30 p.m.) as somewhat less than pivotal. But Berenson refuses to look for a sweep before tonight's matchup- even though Michigan won all four of last year's games against Miami. "We're not looking past the first game," he said. "But I'll be disappointed if we lose that first game. Because Gwozdecky is fresh off of his experiences at Wolverine hockey nemesis Michigan State, where he helped head coach Ron Mason to a national championship, there may be extra reason for concern. "I don't think there will be as much polish as an MSU team, but you will see some of the same philosophy," Gwozdecky said. Of course, he doesn't have the same talent now that he had in East Lansing. However, what he does have is ten of last year's top 12 Redskin scorers, including two sophomores who made the Cooper CCHA All-Rookie team. Craig Fisher led the team with 42 points while Ken House was fourth with 33. Also returning for the Redskins will be Tom Neziol, who missed 26 games last season with an arm injury. Sophomore Mike Michaud will become the fulltime goaltender this season with the loss of Steve McKichan to the Vancouver Canucks organization. Four Wolverine injuries will also help the Redskins. Right-winger Brad Turner will be joined on the bench by forwards Mike Helber and Kent Brothers. Frosh center Mark Ouimet is doubtful after aggravating a groin injury. Griddes player moves on Herschel Walker has left the Dallas Cowboys! Why? No Griddes! Walker agreed to the trade to the Minnesota Vikings because last week Anthony Carter placed second in Griddes. Herschel said he would share his dinner for two at O'Sullivan's Eatery and Pub on South University with Carter if he would help with his picks.

They are expecting to show im- provement tomorrow at the Mich- igan Golf Course, the site of the invitational. The runners will compete in an open meet and attempt to improve their times from a week ago. At open meets no team scores are kept, and anybody is welcome to par- ticipate. The team has not had a home meet yet, and coach Ron Warhurst chose not to travel to Chicago this weekend for a more competitive invitational. This meet, according to War- hurst, will be used as a tune-up for the Big Ten's in Madison, Wis- consin on October 28. Warhust figures that tomorrow will give him a better idea of which seven runners to take to Madison. Three of the squad's best runners have been red-shirted this season. "It's an attempt to give some of the younger kids some real good ex- perience," Warhurst explained. "They run only 5,000 meters in high school as opposed to the 8,000 meters at this level." It is expected, therefore, that at least five or six of tomorrow's top runners will be first- year students, and according to Warhurst, they have improved each week. A few of Michigan's past runners are supposed to return for tomorrow's meet as well. Last season's NCAA 10,000-meter champion, John Scherer, is expected to be among them. Warhurst called Scherer "the best college runner in the country last season." by John Niyo Daily Sports Writer The women's cross country team races back into action as they host the Michigan Intercollegiate Champ- ionships tomorrow morning at the University of Michigan golf course. A big win at last weekend's Michigan State Invitational has not changed the team's goals for Saturday's meet. "We're going out there to win, just like last weekend," coach Sue Foster said. Revenge might play an important role in their ability to fulfill that goal. Two meets ago, the Wolverines were edged out of second place at the Eastern Michigan Invitational by just one point. The team that did that to them, Central Michigan, will be competing here this weekend. "As a team we're looking to win on Saturday. Losing to Central Michigan by one point was tough. We want to avenge that loss," stated senior Mindy Rowand. That revenge factor may have helped the runners keep their intensity in practice this week despite the easy victory at Michigan State. "Practice has been awesome this week. We've all been working really hard and everybody looks super strong after some of the workouts we've had," Rowand said. According to Rowand another factor this weekend will be location. Running on their home course might work in the Wolverines' favor. "We get a chance to work out there sometimes. It's one of the toughest courses in the area, if-not the midwest. The other teams will be a little surprised when they see McLain wins over MUG crowd during radio show by Scott Erskine Daily Sports Contributor I CLASSIFIED ADSI Call 764-0557 J I m I-F sc~ r 1 '------------ -------- 9 DELVUS PIZZA I I I I Former Detroit Tiger standout Denny McLain aired his new talk show on WXYT-AM 1270 yesterday live from the MUG in the Michigan Student Union. McLain was the last major league pitcher to win over thirty games in one season. McLain played with former stars Al Kaline, Jim Northrup, Norm Cash, and the new Michigan baseball coach Bill Freehan on the 1968 world champion Tigers.

He also spoke with Senior Associate Director Jack Weidenbach about the athletic department. During breaks, McLain joked with members of the audience and even had people from the crowd sing 'The Victors' after commercials.
