Women's Swimming NCAA Championships Today, Tomorrow and Saturday Austin, Texas SPORTS Thursday, March 15, 1990 Men's Basketball vs. Illinois St. (NCAA 1st Round) Friday, 9 p.m. (Ch. 2) Long Beach, CA 4 .; The Michigan Daily Page 9 Top four is the goal of swimmers ,e t: by Jeni Durst and Jared Entin Daily Sports Writers After months of rehearsal, the curtain will come down on the Michigan women's swim team's final performance this weekend. And the team is hoping for one last standing ovation. The NCAA Championship meet will be held in Austin, TX today, Friday, and Saturday. It represents the goal that the Wolverine squad has sought all season. The Wolverines, who tied for sixth at nationals last year, have set their sights on* cracking the top four. Michigan is the only non Sun-belt school to break into the NCAA top ten. "We're going to have to swim the meet of our lives (to get 4th) and get help from the other teams," said coach Jim Richardson. "The top three finishers are pretty well set (Stanford, Texas, Florida). "Berkeley is seeded fourth, and deservedly so, but we're going to go in aggressively. Berkeley has a lot more people than us, so we'll have to swim a lot faster than we did -t Big Tens. Whether we can put it together at the end remains to be seen." Michigan qualified eight individuals, for nine events, and five relays for the Championship. Yet, the Wolverines failed to qualify any divers this year, as no one was able to make it past regionals. Regardless, the team is optimistic about obtaining a top four ranking. "I think it's a realistic goal," first-year swimmer Mindy Gehrs said. "I think we will definitely get top five. It totally depends on luck and how the other teams do, but I think we have a really good chance." Michigan's representatives include: -Ann Colloton-Last year, she won the NCAA title in the 200 yard breaststroke with a time of 2:12.96. In her final year, she again qualified in this event along with the shorter100. "Ann is probably the best women's 200 breaststroker in the country...right now and on any given day could win the (national) title," Richardson said. "Whether Saturday is one of those days, we'll have to wait and see." -Gwen DeMaat- This senior ranks as the most versatile member of the Wolverine team. In the previous year, she qualified for three NCAA different individual events, placing in the top 16 in each, and participated on two relays. Though this year she pulled out only one individual qualifying time in the 200 individual medley. Yet, Dengaat will also have a chance in the 100 and 200 freestyles as a secondary. But her role doesn't end there, she will be a keystones in two relays. -Jennifer Eck-She will join Colloton in both the 100 and 200 breaststroke races, both of which she swam last year as a junior. Eck walks into the meet with the Big Ten crown in the 100 and unexpectedly was the runner-up in the 200, trailing only Colloton. Eck said: "I've totally surprised myself in the 200, I've improved four seconds." -Katherine Creighton-As a sophomore she qualified for her first individual NCAA event this year. However, she competed in the 800 freestyle relay at nationals last year. Creighton placed third at the Big Ten Championships qualifying herself in the 1,650 freestyle, with a time of16: 25.24. -Jen Love-Love is a sophomore freestyler who was forced to sit out the first semester of competition due to insufficient credit hours, however she managed to qualify for NCAAs in the waning days before the deadline, in the 50 freestyle. Also she is an important part of the freestyle relays. -Mindy Gehrs-She is one of the three first-year swimmers who qualified individually this year. Gehrs will represent Michigan in the 400 individual medley and has some specific goals for her first national competition. "I hope to place in the top 16 at least and do really well in the relays, to do well for the team. The relays are what really count the, most." -Missy McCracken-She is another first-year swimmer who made the NCAAs, swimming in the 200 butterfly, probably the most unexpected qualifier of the group. McCracken adds more than her ability to help her team at nationals. Richardson said: "We needed the spark and enthusiasm she gives t) this team." -Kathy Diebler-She is the fin first-year swimmer who will participate in Austin. Diebler capped off an incredible rookie season by qualifying in the 50, 100, and 200 freestyle. On top of being a contender in three individual events, Diebler will be instrumental in the freestyle relays. In addition to the above individuals, Michigan will bring three more swimmers to help augment their already potent relays. Senior Stefanie Liebner will be joined by sophomores Lisa Anderson and Michelle Swix, all of whom missed qualifying individually, in x multiple events, by tenths of a second. Liebner and Swix earned all- 9 American honors last year at NCAAs, both in the 400 medley relay. Michigan women's swimmer Gwen DeMaat dives in to competition at the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis. DeMaat took the Big Ten championship in the 500, the 1650 freestyle, and the 400 IM Dental student is a pro at lacrosse by Jonathan Samnick Daily Sports Writer At first glance second-year Michigan dental student Paul Elder looks like any other dentist-to-be. But the butterfly bandage above his right eye gives him away. "I got this *hen a guy was coming across the middle and I hit him, but my helmet lbind of exploded. I'm not used to these helmets," Elder said. You see Paul Elder is a professional athlete and a student. When one thinks of professional fthletes these days, it conjures thoughts of strikes, high salaries, "ehd a life of luxury. Not so for this ,4spiring dentist who sees playing lacrosse, for the Detroit Turbos of the Major Indoor Lacrosse League (MILL), as "a hobby." "As an undergrad I played for Albion's lacrosse club, because I wanted something to do in the spring. I was also on the football team. .I did it (lacrosse) just on the side." Elder was asked to try out for the Turbos last season but opted instead to concentrate on his academics during his first year of dental school. { "I asked the dean before I did this if it was all right," Elder said. "He said, 'You're in good academic standing so go ahead."' In indoor lacrosse, there a five players on each side plus a goalie. Each player carries a short attack- Sstick. The goals are small to accommodate for the field which is a covered hockey surface. In fact, in a game between the Turbos and the Philadelphia Wings this season, they actually had to use hockey nets. Detroit is one of six cities in the four year-old MILL, the others are New England, Philadelphia, New York, Pittsburgh and Baltimore. Even in its embryonic stage the MILL is doing well enough to command large crowds at arenas where the National Hockey League (NHL) is the main attraction. This includes Joe Louis Arena where the Turbos, who are in their second season, play. Despite a 1-5 record the Turbos are averaging close to 16,000 fans a game. Paul Elder has only been playing lacrosse for five years. Earning $100 per game Elder is a professional despite his relative inexperience with the game. He was discoveredl playing in the Detroit Lacrosse Club (DLC) by the Martinello family en masse. "My brothers and I played with Paul over at the DLC and his size (six-feet-two, 220 lbs.) and athletic ability made us offer him a spot on the team," said Turbos General Manager Wayne Martinello who has two brothers on the Turbos roster and whose father, Medo, coaches the team. Elder is the primary face-off man for the Turbos, a talent that has made him even more important than Wayne Martinello thought. "Paul is a defenseman by nature but when we found out he could face-off-a weak spot on our team-he proved to be very valuable," Martinello said. Despite not recording any goals or assists this season with two Martinello added. According to its popularity growth since its inception four years ago the MILL sees no bounds. Elder cites the NHL as a point-in-fact. "When the NHL started it was a six- team league paying its players a few hundred dollars for the season. Now look where it is. I see no reason why we can't do the same." Few people know that lacrosse, and not hockey, is the national sport of Canada. But because lacrosse is limited to the east coast in America, growth may take the 80 or so years it has taken the NHL to become a major sporting attraction. It is Paul Elder's hope that in a few years he will be the Bo Jackson of dentistry, playing professional lacrosse as a hobby. "I hope to play lacrosse as long as I can. I can be a dentist any day." So picture yourself in the friendly confines of a dentist office and a friendly giant possessing a drill tells you to open wide. This thought even scares GM Martinello, "If he gets his hands in your mouth you can be sure it's going to be fixed...one way or the other." NCAAs applied a full-court press. The defensive effort worked, forcing 14 first half turnovers by Michigan. The Wolverines' shaky ballhandling gave the Cowgirls a slight lead at halftime, 33-31. "Their two guards are two of the quickest I've seen in a long time," Szczechowski said. "Sometimes I lose confidence out there." Although Oklahoma St. was stealing the ball away, the team was never able to establish any form of offense. "We thought the transition gam-, would be in our favor, but it seemed like it was in theirs," Halterman said. "That was the biggest surprise to me." "It just seemed like we couldn't get open on offense," Brown said. "They just outplayed us." Oklahoma St. got off to a running start once again in the second half, but at the 16:23 mark Cox picked her fourth personal foul, forcing her to the bench. "I was trying to hard I guess," Cox said. "I don't think some of the calls were good ones, either." "I missed Althea when she was gone," Brown said. With Cox out, Szczechowski was able to work her self free for numerous open shots. The co- captain scored 17 of her game higr 21 points in the second half. Oklahoma St. was still able to hold their lead through the first - seven minutes of the second stanza, but with 13:26 remaining Wolverine senior guard Tempie Brown nailed a three-pointer that began Michigan's final surge to victory. At that point the Wolverines went on a 14-5 run to pull ahead for good. Michigan's run was keyed by spectacular shooting which saw them connect on 52 percent of its shots from the field. In addition, the Wolverines went to the charity stripe with every foul after the 5:24 mark of the second half. Michigan took great advantage of this opportunity as the team hit 75 percent of its free throws, which put it up by as many as 14 points down the stretch. The Wolverines shut down the Cowgirl inside game. Michigan forward Tanya Powell dominated the boards. The co-captain finished with a. game high 14 caroms. The Wolverines outrebounded the Cowgirls 23-18 in the decisive second half. I t #' p. 1 t 4 4. a a 1 a= Elder games left to play, Elder has not disappointed his team.
