They fell to the Spartans, 2-1, in an exhausting dou- ble overtime loss. S Despite the defeat, the team played very well according to Michi- gan coach Phil Joyaux. "In the first half, we dominated them," Joyaux said. "But in the sec- ond half they played us 50-50, and in '66 overtimes they took it to us." " Wolverine Heather Marshall add- ed, "The team really gave one- hundred percent. We hustled as much , we could. We really outplayed trim, and we should've won." The Spartans scored first 15 min- utes into the second half. Michigan center forward Crista Towne tied the game four minutes later off an assist from Amy Stock. "It was the most physical game of the year. Our intensity level was up really high," Towne said. "It was a kind of grudge match between two rival teams." The contest went into overtime, where neither squad was able to gain an advantage. By the time the second extra period began, both teams were fatigued, but in the end, Michigan State scored the winning goal. According to Joyaux, the most important factor leading to the Wolverines' defeat was the team's physical condition. "We were just out of shape," Joyaux said. "...If we had been in shape, I think that we would've won, 3-0." Towne concurred. "It hurt us a lot," she said. "I still think that we took it to them." Another problem the Wolverines had was putting the ball in the goal. They outshot the Spartans by a large margin, but were unable to gain the lead. "We should've converted more of our shots," Towne said. "It would've been nice to win, but they (Michigan State) were frustrated. It was a club frustrating a varsity team... We proved that we're a very good team." Michigan shuts down Broncos, 1-0 hY Ken Sugiura Daily Sports Writer "Will you look at this?" Michi- gan coach Don Schwartz grumbled. Water jugs, jerseys and bits of ath- ic tape, remnants of his players had neglected to bring them back to Schwartz's car, littered the sideline. But he could barely manage a grimace. The Michigan men's soccer team (8-7) made it two in a row and brought its record above the .500 mark with a 1-0 victory over Schwartz's alma matar, Western Michigan (5-7-2). The only goal came off the head Of Matt Dikin. He scored his second of the year, at 31:00 into the second half, off a cross from Frank Karabet- sos, which he tucked into the upper right corner. "Frank put it right on my head, and I flicked it to the far post," Dikin said. Schwartz had glowing praise for the play of Dikin, his senior mid- Wielder. "Matt Dikin played an excellent game," Schwartz said. "He really played tough defensively and played ,tough off the ball as well." The first half was played evenly, with both teams making forays deep into each opponents' end. The Wolverines limited the Broncos' chances due to the stellar play of goalkeeper Marc Kuiper and sweeper Brian Rosewarne. "You've got to recognize Kuiper's contribution. He made a couple of excellent saves," Schwartz said. In the second half, Western Michigan began to control play, keeping the ball in Wolverine terri- tory for minutes at a time. They racked up nine corner kicks to the Wolverines' three, and peppered goalie Kuiper with five shots, but were unable to capitalize. Michigan, however, was able to convert one of its few scoring oppor- tunities in the second half.

The Wolverines travel to Northern Michigan Saturday. Blue spikers fall to Spartans by Adam Miller Daily Sports Writer With the marching band playing in the background, the first champi- onship game of intramural fraternity soccer was held last night. Sigma Phi Epsilon defeated Theta Chi, 3-2, in an overtime shootout to capture the crown. Halfway into the second half, it appeared Sig Eps would glide to a shutout. Leading 1-0, they were con- trolling the play at both ends of the field and their dominance could be felt on the sidelines. Sigma Phi Epsilon's supporters were jumping up and down, ready to explode at the final whistle, while uneasiness prevailed on the other side of the field. Nineteen minutes into the half, however, the tide turned when Theta Chi equalled the score and turned up the physical play. Throughout the end of the half, and through both overtimes, Theta Chi had the mo- mentum and it was then their side- line which showed the enthusiasm. Indeed, Theta Chi scored the first shootout goal and stopped Sigma Phi Epsilon's first attempt. The party ended for Theta Chi - they were held scoreless on their final two attempts and Sig Eps blasted two in for the win. Matt Walker, who had an assist on Sigma Phi Epsilon's first goal and scored the game winner, said he knew how to keep the team going when Theta Chi made its run. "I just tried to pump up the team and get them going faster," he said. "We had to keep making noise, shift the momentum and score some goals." by Matt Dodge Daily Sports Writer EAST LANSING- Another match, another loss. The favorite huddle-breaking cheer of the Michigan volleyball team is 'Win.' Optimistic as they might be, the Wolverines' hopes have yet to be realized. Michigan lost its eighth straight Big Ten match last night at Michigan State. The Spartans prevailed, 15-5, 9-15, 15-2, 13-15, 15-8. The Wolverines do not have a lack of enthusiasm, despite their 1-16 overall record, but their talent can not match up to their opponents. Michigan coach Peggy Bradley-Doppes has adapted well in using the talent that was already at Michigan when she arrived this fall. "Talent-wise they are fine," Spartan coach Ginger Mayson said. "Overall, they have some nice kids. They're a different team than the last few years. If they keep play-ing this way, they will win some games. But if not, they will still be a lot stronger anyway." The Spartans attacked repeatedly, overpowering the Wolverines' defense. At times, Michigan's defense held its own, but too often it was helpless against State's primary rocket-launcher Becky Ballinger. As usual, the Wolverines lacked direction. In each of the five games the Spartans scored at least two unanswered points. Michigan continually had to fight out of a hole to win a game. "The consistency is a problem," Bradley-Doppes said, "but we have three people out for the season. Thus, the inconsistency will be there. We are only one or two starters away from being good, but we have one or two starters out so that makes it even more frustrating." The match seemed over late in game four, but the Wolverines came out of nowhere to get back in the match. Michigan was down 6-11 but went on a 9-2 rampage to grab the victory out of the Spartan's hands - temporarily. "Once we got disciplined, we gave them a hard- fought battle," Bradley-Doppes said. "We really hung in there. I was very pleased." a f f a i a a t a a l a a a A 1 f.. 1 f_..1_ 1. 11..1 111.11 11.-A--A- ll-Z il--sir.---a- xk REVENGE IS SWEET!
