Halftkne: EastemnMicgan 31-30 Aundance: 853 The Eastern Michigan mainten- ance crew had a long night last night repairing all the lights that Michigan team captain Carol Szczechowski shot out in the Wolverines 78-62 victory over the Hurons. Szczechowski scored a career-high 34 points and set a Michigan women's record for free throws attempted (20), and free throws made (18). She also sank 16 consecutive free throws. "It was really a relief to me because I had been struggling with my free throws and my game," Szczechowski said. The captain at- tributed her scoring barrage to pat- ience - something that wore thin with Hurons' coach Cheryl Getz. "We just couldn't stop her tonight," Getz said. "She played an outstanding game. We didn't do that much wrong, she did it all right." The Hurons used the same full and half court presses that gave Michigan so much trouble in the last few games but they had no luck with it. "Eastern played a very physical game against us, and that was something we expected," said Michigan coach Bud VanDeWege. The Wolverines responded to Eastern's pressure defense with controlled ball handling and quick- ness at the guard position. Sopho- more guard Stacie McCall used her speed to break down the Hurons. "Things worked well when we pushed the ball up," said McCall. And while McCall used speed, Szczechowski used patience. Cutting down on turnovers, Szczechowski dictated a patient passing game- waiting for the right shot. "We have faced more difficult presses at Central and Bowling Green. We've learned how to handle it a lot better," Szczechowski said. After trailing the Hurons by one point at half time 31-30, the Wolverines caught fire in the second half. After ten minutes of play in the period, Michigan ran up a 15 point lead behind the shooting of Szczechowski and junior guard Char Durand. But the Wolverine lead began to dwindle as Huron guard Shani LeBaron poured in nine of her 20 points. After Eastern called its final time out with two minutes remaining, Michigan took control, eventually running its lead to sixteen. The Wolverines displayed a strict interior defense last night that featured frosh forward LaTara Jones. "She has a great physical presence and I was absolutely thrilled with her play," VanDeWege said. Jones led the Wolverines with nine boards, five of which were offensive. Sophomore center Trish Andrew made an obvious defensive contri- bution chalking up eight blocked shots. The Wolverines had difficulty sparking an inside offensive game though. Forwards Trish Andrew and Michelle Hall didn't get the ball as much as they usually do; punctuat- ing Michigan's ineffective inside play. Michigan relied on guard shooting for most of the game. Junior guard Leah Wooldridge nailed two three pointers and totaled 12 points, second in scoring behind Szczechowski. OVER THE HOLIDAYS: The Wolverines play four games over the next three and a half weeks. Coach Bud VanDeWege will be serving up matches against the University of Toledo, University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee, Michigan State, and Fencers expect fun weekend LaSalle University for the holiday. But first there are the holiday preparations. "We need to use the time betweej Eastern and Toledo to retool a little, bit. There are some things we have to do differently. You're definitely going to see a different team from the Eastern game to Toledd. Hopefully that team will be better prepared for Toledo, LaSalle, and Michigan State. They're all very good teams Unfortunately for Michigah State, sophomore forward Annette Babers is out of the line-up for while, and on the injured reserved list. Babers who made her mark on the basketball world after leading the North squad in scoring at the 1990 U.S. Olympic Festival, was a big part of the Spartan offense. by Kyan Herrington Daily Sports Writer Szczechowski 215 S. State St. Ann Arbor 995-DEAD (upstairs) Ir1IGHT While participating in inter- collegiate sports consists of a lot of hard work, there can also be many enjoyable moments for a team during a season. The Michigan fencing club expects this weekend's Michigan Invitation to be one of those times. "This tournament is strictly for fun," explained senior fencer Philip Issa. "It's not a high pressure tournament. It does not effect a person's ranking, individually or collegiately." The invitational, held at the University of Michigan at Dearborn, is a two day event. On one day, the fencers will duel individually and the other day the fencers will compete in a three-on-three team event. The three divisions, sabre, foil and epee, each makes its own decision as to which day it will hold the individual or team event. The meet is open to any fencer in the state, regardless of rank. Because of the tournament's relaxed atmos- phere, many high caliber fencers enjoy competing in this meet and are expected to attend both Saturday and Sunday's sessions. The structure of the invitational also allows all of the fencers to duel everyone within their division. "It's a good tournament because you might be fencing against people who are nationally ranked, which is something not everyone gets a chance to do unless they make it to the higher rounds of other tourn- aments," Issa said. With final exams approaching, only a few of Michigan's fencers will be heading to Dearborn this weekend. The flexible nature of the meet allows a team or individual to register as late as Saturday morning -- many of the Wolverines will not make their final decision about attending the tournament until the end of this week. For now, Issa will compete in the foil, and Russ Turner and Nik Weber will duel in the sabre for the men. None of the women committed yet to duel this weekend. Joining current team members in the meet this weekend will be the coach, Evo Wenzler, a former world- class fencer in the foil. However, he is expected to compete in the sabre this weekend. He, along with Turner and Weber, will comprise a team for the sabre team event. After this tournament, the fencing club takes some time off during the holidays. It will resume practice the second week of classes. Club members are expected to train and keep in shape on their own during the vacation. The collegiate season picks up in January, providing the Wolverines with strong incentive to work hard during break. But for Michigan this weekend, thoughts of hard work will be set aside as the fencers' true reason for competing will stand out: because they enjoy fencing.
