Hockey. vs. Bowling Green Tonight, 7:30 p.m. Yost Ice Arena The Michigan Daily Icers regroup for home opener tonisht SPORTS Friday, November 3, 1989 Football vs. Purdue Saturday, 1 p.m. Michigan Stadium Falcons deal 'M' third straight loss by David Hyman Daily Hockey Writer Bowling Green, OH - Mustering only six shots on goal in the second and third periods, the Michigan hockey team lost 6-3 last night in Bowling Green Ice Arena. "We just didn't generate the dffense," said Michigan coach Red Berenson. "I thought our team played well in the first, but ,(Bowling Green) had the lead and ,played well with that." The Wolverines were held *coreless for 35 minutes and 50 seconds after Mike Helber's goal early in the second period tied the game at three goals apiece. "We were not outnumbered often coming back up the ice," said Bowling Green coach Jerry York. "I 'thought we did a good job forechecking. "I thought tonight's game was learly the best we played defensively all year." Kevin Dahl's power-play goal Iwith 12:39 remaining in the second period proved to be the game winner. Michigan was able to kill off a two- man advantage for one minute, but with only seven seconds remaining on Todd Copeland's penalty the Falcons were able to convert the one-man advantage to take a 4-3 lead they never relinquished. Bowling Green entered the game with the top-ranked power play in the CCHA and converted three of four power plays on the night. "They have a good power play and we knew what to expect but their shots were going in," said Michigan left-winger Ryan Pardoski. Alex Roberts added, "They've got a good power play and you can't give them any opportunities, but we gave them the chances and they converted them." "Penalties were costly, proven with their three power play goals," Berenson said. This was seen early as Bowling Green jumped out to a 1- 0 lead 1:37 into the game on defenseman Rob Blake's slapshot from the right point as Randy assists on the night. "I think he's really developing into a very fine player," York said. "They played Nelson (Emerson) a lot tighter," Blake said. "They worried about (Emerson) and another guy is going to be open." However, Michigan responded with two goals by Jim Ballantine and Mark Ouimet, his first college goal, to even the score at 2-2. Emerson's goal with only 25 seconds left in the first period pushed the Falcons ahead, 3-2, as Roberts sat in the penalty box for a high- sticking call. "The call could have gone either way," Roberts said. "They called it on me, but they could have called a charge on him as well." But it was in the second and third periods where Michigan lost the game. "In the second, we let them take the play to us," Roberts said. Right winger Ted Kramer added: "They had control of the midzone," referring to the Wolverines inability to penetrate the Falcons blue line. Mike Helber Kwong sat in the penalty box for a holding penalty. Blake later scored an empty net goal to cap the evening's scoring. "I thought Rob Blake was a real dominant player on the ice tonight," York said. First-year center Brett Harkins made the score 2-0 on a shot from the slot at 7:44 of the first, his first collegiate goal and he added two Page 9 Women swimmers open with Plains test by Jeni Durst Daily Sports Writer The Michigan women's swim team travels to the Great Plains for its first collegiate competition of the 1989-90 season. The squad travels to Iowa City today to challenge Nebraska, Brigham Young and the host Hawkeyes in an invitational meet. Both Brigham Young and the Cornhuskers look to be tough adversaries. Nebraska was the Big Eight conference champ last year and BYU sports a crowd of returning All-Americans. Yet, coach Jim Richardson expects the Hawkeyes to offer the greatest obstacle. "Iowa has more depth than BYU and Nebraska," Richardson explained. "They have a large freshman group. They remind me of our team four years ago." The Hawkeyes also have momentum in their favor. They are riding high after a huge upset last weekend over 18th-ranked Minnesota. Despite Iowa's advantages, Hawkeye assistant coach Jim Sheridan feels that Michigan is definitely "the team to beat." "At this point in time, Michigan is the top team coming in here," he said. "I know we can compete as far as depth goes, but they are certainly ahead of us in the area of top first and second place swimmers." One factor that could hinder the Wolverines is their recent training schedule. They are now experiencing their most difficult workouts of the season. "It's going to be interesting to see how they respond coming out of the hard workouts," Richardson said. In spite of this, Michigan still heads into the meet as the top contender. "On paper we're the strongest squad going in," Richardson expounded. "I'm looking for everyone to swim faster than in the intrasquad meet." Beyond the competition, fifth-year coach Richardson has a deeper stake in the fields of Iowa. "I have fond memories of Iowa City. I worked under Dr. (Peter) Kennedy (Iowa head coach) for three years," he reminisced. Intra-squad meet begins men's swimming season by Douglas Donaldson Daily Sports Contributor The Michigan men's swim team begins its season today with the annual Maize and Blue intra-squad meet. The event will give the coaching staff an opportunity to judge both the strengths and weaknesses of this year's squad. "In the veterans, we look for good quality swims. We expect that from them," said assistant coach Mark Noetzel. "We know they have the self- motivation (to do well)." Noetzel is entering his first term as an assistant, under head coach Jon Urbanchek. Urbanchek will be working with a young group of swimmers this year, with only a handful of seniors on the roster. Among the seniors is co-captain Brent Lang, last year's NCAA champion in the 50-yard freestyle and 1988 Olympic gold medalist in the 400-meter freestyle relay. Also returning from last year is junior Mike Barrowman. Barrowman was named U.S. Swimmer of the Year after setting the world record in the 200-meter breaststroke twice last summer. Although the team is young, the outlook for the new season is good. Urbanchek is looking toward a fifth consecutive Big Ten championship, with chances for the NCAA title. Last season, the Wolverines placed third nationally, behind Texas and Stanford. "The possibility is there for the win. It's just a matter -of getting the right improvements from certain people," Noetzel explained. "Our big guns have to maintain [last year's times] and the freshmen have to contribute." The Maize and Blue intrasquad meet takes place this afternoon at 5 p.m., in the Canham Natatorium. 4M9 spikers look to upset No. by Theodore Cox Daily Sports Writer * The Michigan women's volley- ball team will try to play spoiler again this weekend as the squad travels to Ohio State and then Indiana. The Wolverines, 1-10, yanked Minnesota from their first place perch last Friday and will look to do the same to Ohio State tonight. The 9-2 Buckeyes are now tied with the Gophers for first place. "It was a crazy weekend in the Big Ten," said Michigan coach Joyce Davis. "We beat Minnesota and Purdue, at 3-8, beat Ohio State. It's typical of the Big Ten and this weekend could be much more of the same." Saturday's match against the 4-7 Indiana Hoosiers is predicted to be a tightly fought battle. The last time Michigan took on Indiana, the two squads went five games before the Wolverines folded. Michigan's first victory last Friday boosted the teams spirit for their upcoming matches. "Our game play is getting better every week," Davis said. "We have more confidence now having beaten the number one team. The attitude has been consistent. Our players have come in and worked hard everyday." In order for Michigan to defeat Ohio State, the Wolverines will have to slow down the Buckeye's offense. Buckeye Holly O'Leary's explosive swing should add to the Ohio State point total. The all-Big Ten outside hitter has twice totaled 31 kills in a match this season. "If we have a good defense like we did last week, we can minimize the damage that she can do to us," Davis said. "If you dig, dig, and dig, you can wear their offense down and they will be forced to hit higher, slower balls." Ohio State coach Jim Stone isn't taking the contest lightly. "Mich- igan's got a lot of talent. They are a I... again big physical team and they're going to block a lot of balls." Indiana runs a slower offense than the Buckeyes, and the Wolverines will have to adjust their defensive- block timing against Hoosier star Diane Hoerth. Michigan can't jump too quickly to block Hoerth's spikes because she takes a slow swing at the ball. The Wolverines will be at full strength once again this weekend. Starting outside hitter Kristen Lang has just been taken off the injured list and is expected to play tonight. Kim Clover was suffering from a respiratory infection early this week, but she returned to practice Wednesday. Real turf causes trepidation for stickers by Matt Rennie aily Sports Writer When former major league relief pitcher Tug McGraw was asked whether he preferred grass or artificial turf, he replied, "I don't know. I've never smoked artificial turf." The Michigan field hockey players take the issue a bit more seriously, however. They clearly prefer artificial turf. The Wolverines +il1 have to adjust this weekend, .hough, when they take on both Michigan State and Northwestern on the natural grass of East Lansing. This will be the first time since the beginning of the season that the team will play on a natural field. lBecause the difference between grass "and turf is more evident in field hockey than in other sports, the Wolverines have spent the week acticing on grass. Michigan head coach Patti Smith explains: "It's difficult. The ball comes to you a little slower (on grass). You have to get rid of it a little sooner." The team will hold practice tomorrow in East Lansing, in order to get used to the field. Michigan defeated the Spartans soundly, 3-1, the last time the teams met, which was on the artificial turf of Iowa City. Smith expects a much closer contest this time. "They've improved a lot since then. They had some injuries before, and those players are back this time. And as we've said, playing on their field is a big advantage for them. While playing on natural turf should be a disadvantage for Michigan againstathe Spartans, it could turn into a big advantage THE DAILY CLASSIFIEr- ARE A GREAT WAY TO GET FAST RESULTS CALL 764-0557 against Northwestern. The Wildcats are equally unfond of grass. The Wolverines will need every advantage that they can get against the No. 5-ranked team in the country. Earlier this year in Evanston, Northwestern handed the Maize and Blue a convincing 2-0 defeat. Like the State game, though, Smith says there's more to this game than meets the eye. "Northwestern is coming off a loss to Iowa (by a 2-0 count), so they might not be as confident. We've got a chance." These games represent not only the close of the season, but also the close of the careers for six Michigan seniors. They are Joanne Green, Margaret Kundtz, Judy Burinskas, Ilene Meadows, Sharon Cantor, and Patti Farley. This game will mean even more to them. Hi-Tec MINI MICRO SYSTEM, INC.
