Page 4 - The Michigan Daily - Sports Monday - October 30, 1989 by Eric Lemont Daily Hockey Writer 'M' stopped itself against Lakers SAULT STE. MARIE - Outside of Norris Ice Arena a sign read "Bo doesn't know hockey. Go Blue (Lakers). Beat Red." Inside were the Lake Superior State Lakers - a team that hadn't lost at home since an early season sweep last year. But the Michigan hockey team blocked out these distractions with a wall of confidence. They were the last team to defeat the Lakers at home and it was the Wolverines who were in sole possession of first place in the CCHA. Ted Kramer's power play goal 57 seconds into the second period of Friday night's game put Michigan up 3-1 and seemed to be the final proof that the Wolverines were ready to end the Lakers home winning streak. Instead, it was Michigan's final goal of the game and their last power play goal of the series. Michigan lost the series in large part because of a punchless power play and untimely penalties. The game slipped out of the Wolverines grasp on Friday night at the midway point of the second period. Up 3-1, Michigan was called for three penalties in a span of three minutes. The Lakers scored on one of these penalties but the damage went further. "Penalties really hurt us in the second period. It changed the flow of the game," Michigan coach Red Berenson said. "They had us on our heels and we didn't generate much offense in the second half of the game." Michigan fell behind, 4-3, but still had several chances to tie the game. However, the Lakers were able to kill two Michigan power plays midway through the third period to preserve the victory. Which basically sums up the series. The Wolverines finished the series two for 14 with the man advantage including no goals in eight opportunities Saturday. Michigan started the second period of Saturday's game with a two man advantage and had 1:28 to cut the Lakers' 2-0 lead in half. The Wolverines managed only a few scant shots on the power play and the Lakers were able to retain their momentum. "The five to three advantage was the turning point of the game," Laker coach Frank Anzalone said. "Madeley (the Lakers' goaltender) made some pivotal saves and we just did a great job killing penalties." And when Lake Superior did not kill Michigan's scoring opportunities, the Wolverines did so themselves with penalties. Leading 2-1, the Lakers' Kord Cernich was called for elbowing at 11:13 of the second period. Fifteen seconds into the powerplay, however, Don Stone was called for interference, putting both teams back at full strength. Ten seconds later, Laker defenseman David Divita scored to extend the Lakers lead to 3-1 going into the third period. The lead could have been chipped away at but Alex Roberts' tripping penalty gave Lake Superior a power play goal that iced Michigan's spirit - and ultimately, the game. Michigan defenseman Doug Evans said the losses were a combination of the Wolverines not taking advantage of scoring opportunities while Lake Superior capitalized on Michigan mistakes. "This weekend we just didn't have it," he said. 40 "' : :\ \ :; ..:..

Both teams started to fly in the third period when the two combined for 24 shots on goal. The difference in the game was that Sharples allowed first-year defenseman Mi- chael Smith to score at 3:59 while Laker goalie Brandon Reed stopped all 11 shots he faced. "It came down to that we wanted to be in position to win the game," Berenson said. "We had to win that third period. We didn't and lost for it. I didn't think we tested their goalie until the third and that's where they're (the Lakers) soft." Michigan's game plan was to work on the inexperience of Lake Superior's two goalies, sophomore Reed and rookie Darrin Madcley, who started the second game. Both handled themselves well in the sweep of the Wolverines. Reed had 23 saves in the first game but reflects praise about his own performance. "I didn't do spectacularly but my defense and forwards cleared the way for me," Madeley was able to shut down the Wolverine power play as Michigan went 0-for-8. "Madeley made some good saves, especially in the power plays," Laker center Jim Dowd said. "He did really well. We helped him out and he helped us out." One of those power plays for Michigan was when Anzalone was called for a bench minor at the end of the first period. Right winger Doug Laprade had been previously called for high-sticking. This gave the Wolverines a 5 on 3 for the first minute and a half of the second period.

Another key to the second game for the Lakers was the first play of the third period when senior defenseman Alex Roberts was called for tripping twelve seconds into the period. Lake Superior took full advantage of this power play opportunity as right winger Jeff Napierala scored at 1:31. Overall, the Wolverines were upset at their defensive effort and for allowing Lake Superior to affect Michigan's speed and style of play. "We (the defensemen) all had our spots with mistakes," Evans said. "Sometimes we looked horrible but we should keep an even keel for 60 minutes and we just didn't tonight." Newcomer Neaton reiterated Evans' sentiments, "There werg times when we should have been covering guys and weren't. It was a physical series and you had to keep your feet moving." FIELD HOCKEY Continued from Page 1 then last. The Buckeyes' major scoring threat of Kim Finlayson and Sandy Loeper, though active, were unable to penetrate the Michigan defense. Michigan coach Patti Smith couldn't be happier with the victory. "I think we dominated them more than any other team this season," Smith said.."We made a statement about our program. "This year we really felt it was important to take both games from Ohio State. Last year we didn't."'t Michigan split their two games with Ohio State last year. Smith cites a return to more consistent play for the domination over the Buckeyes. "We knew we could beat them. We just had to go in there and do it. We're playing much more consistently. We just had to prove it." Buckeye coach Karen Field was "upset with this loss. Unfortuantely, we couldn't get on the board." With the season nearly over, Charvet feels the team, "finally coming together as a cohesive unit. The seniors really put in a lot of effort Saturday. They can see the season coming to close." Senior Ilene Meadows would also like to see the ball continue to roll Michigan's way. "This win gives us momentum again after last week, and we'd like to end the season on a good note." Saturday's game was the last game the Wolverines will play on artificial turf this season. by Sarah Osburn Daily Sports Contributor In what was probably one of the dirtiest football games ever played, both literally and figuratively, Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity defeated Phi Delta Theta to win the annual Mud Bowl Game. During halftime, it was the sororities turn to enjoy the mud as Kappa Alpha Theta defeated Sigma Delta Tau in a rugby match. SAE shut out the Phi Delts, 6- 0, scoring the only touchdown late in the first half. After nearly connecting on a pass that went in and out of the hands of a receiver in the end zone, Phi Delt was forced to turn the ball over on downs. SAE quickly completed a pass for a first down. On the second play of the drive, the quarterback hit a wide open receiver for the touchdown. The two point conversion attempt failed. The rest of the first half was spent trying to break up the bench clearing brawl that followed the -kick-off. After digging each other out of the mud, both teams reported to their respective sidelines to hose off so they would be able to tell who to tackle in the second half. The second half progressed the same way. No one really moved the ball but there was a lot of action and everybody, officials included, wore the muddy field. Phi Delts put together one substantial drive late in the game but failed to put any points on the board. The sorority rugby game served as the halftime show. At least they called it a rugby match. What it really looked like was mud wrestling that incorporated a rugby ball as part of the tag-team strategy. The officials spent a considerable amount of time trying to prevent both teams from killing each other. In fact, one fight took both officials and practically all the Phi Delts and Z SAE members to break up. 0 But one team did manage to , score between the fights - Theta's shut out SDT 2-0.
