The Michigan Daily - Friday, October 19, 1990 -Page 23 Kickers face tough Kalamazoo squad Spikers take break {i by Andrew Brown Daily Sports Writer Coming off a tight 1-0 victory Wednesday against Western Mich- igan that put the Michigan men's soccer club back over the .500 mark, the team takes the field tomorrow af- ternoon against Kalamazoo College. Kalamazoo has only lost one game thus far, and has been described ,by Michigan coach Don Schwartz as "the hardest game left on the schedule." Kalamazoo is a varsity squad that has previously been ranked in Division III's top twenty. "They are a strong team up the middle, and we definitely have our work cut out for us on the road," Schwartz said. The Wolverines' defense has stood the test in recent weeks, making goal scoring very tough for the opposition. A clear example was the shutout versus the Broncos. Michigan will need to continue that strong defensive play to stop one of the nation's leading scorers, Derek Bylsma, who has scored over 20 goals this season. * "They are a strong offensive club who have beaten up on a lot of weaker teams," defender Rob Albrit- ton said. "They score a lot of goals and this will certainly be our biggest test." On the offensive end, which has remained inconsistent, the Wol- verines are looking at many attack combinations. "We need to see if we can get more production," Schwartz said. "It's going to be tough, though, because we maintain a very patient, ball-controlled offense." Michigan's coach certainly recog- nizes the importance of this game: "This is a pivotal game, because with a win we will go to 9-71 and I think this will be the momentum we need to finish the season out strong," Schwartz said. from Big by Matthew Dodge Daily Sports Writer The day has come for the Mich- igan volleyball team to finally brush its ten-game losing streak off its back. The squad takes a sabbatical from its Big Ten schedule for three weekend matches in the Great White North. The Wolverines (1-16 over- all, 0-8 in the Big Ten), will meet non-conference foes Oakland Univer- sity, Northern Michigan, and Mich- igan Tech in Marquette on Saturday and Sunday. This trek to the Upper Peninsula seems to be a distraction in the Wol- verines' bid to move out of the Big Ten basement, but the busy schedule could be just what the spikers need. "We need as much competition, good or bad, as we can get right now," Michigan coach Peggy Bradley-Doppes said. "We are such a young team. If we play every day, Fen play the court experience will make us better. "This weekend will be good to see completely different competition and to see how we do. If we get three badly needed wins, it'll be the best scheduling move ever." The lesser competition should provide a chance for tendinitis- stricken Hayley Lorenzen to rest and for Jennifer Paulson to return. Paul- son, recovering from knee surgery, will use these games to ease back into competition after a long layoff. "This is the first time she has played in two years," Bradley- Doppes said. "She had her surgery, and just got the brace off three weeks ago. I was really hoping she would come back. "Jen is a great athlete who gives us experience and confidence. She gives us maturity, and we need that terribly." JOu JUAREZ/Daily Michigan senior Julia Sturm spikes against Ohio State. Sturm and the Wolverines face Oakland, NMU and Michigan Tech this weekend. Stickers look beyond No. 20 ranking by David Kraft Daily Sports Writer National rankings, in any sport, are not a consistently reliable source. The Michigan women's field hockey team came to this abrupt realization on Tuesday. After learn- ing of their No. 20 national ranking earlier in the day, the highly-favored Wolverines posted a sloppy 3-2 double-overtime win against Miami of Ohio later that evening. This weekend, Michigan (12-3-1 overall, 3-2 in the conference) hopes to boost its performance in Iowa City against Michigan State on Saturday and No. 9 Iowa on Sunday. With the state rival Spartans and nationally-ranked Hawkeyes on this weekend's slate, overall rankings are not a primary concern to Michigan coach Patti Smith. "The rankings are very political," she said. "We are much more focused on Iowa." Although the 'Hawkeyes are currently second in the Midwest Collegiate Field Hockey Conference behind Northwestern, the Wolverines remain confident.
