O Page 8 - The Michigan Daily - Sports Thursday - January 11, 1990 'M' upsets No. 1 MSU to win GLI by Mike Gill Daily Sports Editor DETROIT - Being swept by Michigan State hurts. Especially when you lose one of the games 11-4 and have it rubbed in your face with show- boating antics by Michigan State's star goalie Jason Muzzatti. With the December 9-10 Spar- tan sweep fresh in their minds, it is easy to see why the Wolverines were focused on beating Michigan State at the next possible opp- ortunity - namely the Great Lakes Invitational. The Wolverines manhandled and upset the then-top-ranked Spartans, 6-3, in the GLI Champ. ionship game before 19,284 at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. "Revenge is a pretty strong emotion," said Michigan defense- man Todd Copeland, who after being benched the week before, was voted to the All-Tournament team. "We wanted Michigan State to be in the finals all the way." Senior co-captain Mike Moes scored what turned out to be the game winner 5:31 into the third period to give Michigan a 4-2 lead when he flicked in a shot from about seven-feet in front of Muzzatti. The goal was Moes' third game-winning goal in the GLI, including his thrilling overtime tally against North Dakota last season to cap a 6-5 come-from- behind win. "It's my tournament I think," Moes joked. Pat Murray cut the Wolverines lead down to one only :30 later, but frosh Dan Stiver sealed the win with his third goal of the year when lie flicked in Don Stone's rebound at the 17:26 mark. Ted Kramer, who returned to the game after receiving 12 stitches in the chin, scored his second goal of the evening - an empty netter that just beat the clock at the 19:59 mark. Warren Sharples shined in the net, making 20 saves, and was named the tournament's most valuable player. "On top of wanting to win such a prestigious tournament, we were really thinking of that last game in East Lansing where they embarrassed us and ran the score up on us," Sharples said. "That was a little added motivation. We showed we could play with them - and above them - and I think we set them a little bit back on their heels." Michigan came out and com- pletely dominated play for the first period and a half. They out-mus- cled, out-skated, and out-played the Spartans for the first 30 minutes. In that time they took a 2-0 lead with powerplay goals from Ted Kramer and Rob Brown. As the heat and time began to take over from Michigan's emotions, the Spartans quickly evened the score onr goals from Kerry Russell and Rob Woodward at the 12:43 and 15:23 marks of the second period. Michigan celebrates its 6-3 championship victory over Michigan State, who was ranked number one nationally.I But just when it looked like momentum had shifted the Spar- tans' way, frosh Mark Ouimet knocked in his eighth goal of the year when the puck bounced off Muzzatti into the air and fell into the net. "Our freshmen, they think it's easy coming in here the first time and winning the GLI. It took me five years," said Michigan coach Red Berenson, who is unbeaten in his last five GLI games. The Wolverines played without Denny Felsner who hurt his right knee in the previous night's 7-1 win over Northern Michigan. "'~When I call mom, she either wants to talk art or football.

LSSU continued from page 1 Anzalone's hand in the customary coaches' handshake and later said, "We all try to recruit good hockey players and you have some coaches who go out and teach their kids how to nullify the good hockey." Michigan played the series short- handed. Star winger Denny Felsner* sat out the weekend, continuing to nurse an injury to his right knee. The Wolverines' top defenseman, co- captain Alex Roberts, missed Saturday's game while serving a fighting disqualification penalty he received at the end of Friday's overtime session for initiating a fight with Laker Pete Stauber. The Wolverines came back in both games from 2-0 deficits. Friday night, after Jeff Jablonski scored twice for the Lakers, only :34 seconds into the action and again at the 9:26 mark of the first period, David Roberts tallied his ninth goal of the year to cut the Lake State lead to 2-1. After Michigan co-captain Mike Moes and Tim Harris traded goals in the second period, Rob Brown tied the game at three, 1:46 into the third period, with a backhand shot he sent high into the net past Laker goalie Brandon Reed. Brad Turner gave Michigan its first and only lead of the series with 13:58 left in the third period as he barely snuck the puck past Reed on a pass from Ryan Pardoski. Wolverine netminder Warren Sharples (28 saves) had just stymied a Lake State flurry in front of his net. However, with Karl Johnston serving a holding penalty and the Lakers attempting to kill the Michigan powerplay, Sharples stopped the first shot sent his way but frosh Michael Smith trickled in the rebound, allowing Anzalone's team to knot the score. 'There is no other team in the league th.at plays the game with a hard style like Lake Superior. We knew that coming into the game and for the most part we worked through it.' - Michigan defenseman Mark Sorenson "We had the lead in the third period, and we gave it up on a short- handed goal," Berenson said. "That shouldn't happen." The goal is the first shorthanded one the Wolverines have had scored on them this season, but it's timing was most ill-conceived. The Lakers mounted the better scoring opportunities, especially at the start of the overtime, but the Wolverines escaped with the tie. After six players, including Alex Roberts, received roughing penalties with four seconds left in the extra session, a bench clearing melee broke out when overtime expired. Roberts went straight to the LSSU penalty box and ignited the fight. "I don't want to talk about it," Roberts said afterwards. "I really don't. There was a lot of bull---- that went on and nothing was accomplished, nothing happened." Two third period goals doomed the Wolverines Saturday night. Jeff Jablonski and Kord Cernich scored :50 apart at the 5:41 and 6:31 marks of the period, ruining th , Wolverines' chances at a win. Michigan had come back and tied the score in the second period after Reed had to replace frosh goalie Darrin Madeley when Michigan sophomore Ted Kramer fell on Madeley's knee in a flurry in front of the Laker net. Madeley was forced to leave the game and the Wolverines quickly scored two goals on a cold Reed. David Roberts sent a blistering, slapshot toward Reed to notch a _____ ____ ____ ____ __' .
