Page 14-The Michigan Daily-- Monday, October 22, 1990 Western Ontario takes exhibition by Jeni Durst Daily Hockey Writer BI_ i 11 q' 0 Sunday night is not a usual testing time around the University of Michigan, but it was last night for the Wolverine hockey team. With the CCHA season underway, when every game and every play counts, it's tough to get an opportunity to try out different lines and players. But during an exhibition matchup with the Western Ontario Mustangs, the Michigan coaching staff got that chance. Yet, it backfired as the Wolverines fell to the Mustangs 6-4. Frosh goalie Chris Gordon was one who got his first chance to prove his worth. With Tim Keough and Steve Shields having already received starting opportunities, Gordon vied for his chance to get the permanent spot in front of the net. "I can't say I'm satisfied with the goalkeeping," coach Red Berenson said. "For the number of shots they had, we gave up too many goals. Our goalies need to have between an 80 and 90 percent save percentage and right now they don't have that." Among the others putting their skates to the ice for the first time this season were senior Kent Broth- ers, junior center Mike Helber, and sophomore transfer Paul Sancimino. "Right now they (Brothers, Hel- ber, Sancimino) haven't played in a regular season game," Berenson said. "As the season wears on and we get injuries we're going to need everybody, so it was good that they could play." Though the first penalty didn't come until thirteen minutes and twenty-two seconds into the first period, the matchup soon turned into a physical test. At 15:13, first-year leftwing Cam Stewart went flying into the net, tripped from behind by Western Ontario's Peter Jeffrey. Jeffrey wound up with a two minute roughing penalty while Stewart received a helping hand to the lockerroom with a bruised tailbone. The extent of Stewart's injury will not be available until further examinations are made. Denny Felsner also left after the first period with a minor foot ailment which is not serious. DAILY 1CLASSIFIEDS Michigan forward Dave Roberts advances the puck through the Bowling Green defense Friday night. Roberts recorded four points in the Wolverine victory and garnered second star honors for the game. ICERS Continued from page 9 "We (Ouimet, Roberts, Felsner) played better tonight. We were all working well skating," Ouimet said. "Last night we played terrible. Tonight we were working a bit bet- ter, we're all skating well. I think we're playing better as a line." Michigan's other goals were tal- lied by first-year players Mike Stone, David Oliver, and Ward, who came up with his first score of the season with only one tick left on the clock to punctuate the victory. Ward intercepted a Falcon drop pass at cen- ter ice and blew past the defenders for the breakaway. "I'm not a fast skater, but all of a sudden the jets turned on," Ward said of his goal. "When I took the shot I was a little off-balance and the puck hit the goalie right in the left shoul- der and it was sitting there. He fell back into the net with the puck. It wasn't a beautiful goal, but it went in and it counts." The Falcons, too, were able to make their shots at the net count. They scored their four goals on nine- teen shots on goal. One reason for this high percentage is Michigan's continuing problems between the pipes. "It was a tough game for a goalie to play because he (Tim Keough) didn't get a lot of work," coach Red Berenson said. "And when he did get work I thought there were times he was a little tentative. Our number one job is still up for grabs. We're still evaluating." R A- OOCKE - 9 ASSOCIATION-.-- - STANDINGS Fight inspires icers to knock out Falcons by Matt Rennie k Daily Hockey Writer Over the course of the epic saga that is the Central Collegiate Hockey Association season, seemingly insignificant events can end up being the turning point in a season. For Michigan, most of these events seem to occur against Bowling Green. Last season, the Wolverines overcame a two-goal deficit on the road against the Falcons, only to fall in overtime, 9-8. The loss was obviously disappointing, as it was the Wolverines' third in four regular season games against their bitter rivals. However, the full impact of the game would not be realized until after the conclusion of the season, when the NCAA tournament selection committee decided to pass over Michigan while inviting the Falcons. Many people felt the selection committee erred. After all, Michigan beat Bowling Green in the consolation game of the CCHA playoffs and had a better overall record. But looking back, Michigan coach Red Berenson feels that if the Wolverines had held on to their lead that night in Bowling Green, the controversy would have been avoided. It was for this reason that the Wolverines' home-and-home series with the Falcons last Thursday and Friday merited special attention despite being only the third and fourth games of the season for each team. The series did not get off to an auspicious start for the Maize and Blue, as they received a sound beating Thursday night at Bowling Green, 8-3, and fell behind, 4-3, late in the second period of Friday's game at Yost. But the tide turns quickly in the world of sports, and in this case, i. turned in precisely 31 seconds. That's how long it took before Michigan's Denny Felsner erased the Bowling Green lead, knotting the score at 4-4. In the celebration that followed the goal, words were exchanged between the two teams, and soon, words turned into punches. The mai event featured Wolverine defenseman Chris Tamer against Llew Ncwana, with Michigan's Aaron Ward versus Jim Solly on the undercard. Since fighting is against the rules of hockey (believe it or not), people do not like to point to these altercations as being positive events. In this case, though, the change in the Wolverines' play after the skirmish was striking. Mark Ouimet put the Wolverines ahead one minute later, and the Wolverines tallied two more goals in the third period. Meanwhile, Bowling Green never scored again. The fight may have more long-reaching effects, too. Here was the rookie Ward brawling alongside veterans like Felsner and Tamer. "I think (the fight) shows that we're starting to come together as a team," co-captain David Harlock said. "Everyone's going to stick up for each other around here." Championship teams do not have dissension in their lockerrooms. The Wolverines showed Friday night that they are not going to stand around and watch one of their teammates get abused without stepping in to defend him. Michigan demonstrated they have that look of a champion. Okay, maybe we're making too much out of this. Yes, it was only the fourth game of the year. And, yes, just one night earlier, "champions" was just about the lash word anyone would use to describe the Wolverines. And besides, when it gets down to it, it was just a fight. Fights don't win hockey games. Solid defense and goaltending do. But remember, this was Bowling Green and these things have a way of coming back later. So come this March, Llew Ncwana and the rest of the Falcons may be the people looking back with regret at the game that got away. Maybe, their wounds will have healed by then. Team 1.

Tennis, a spring sport, is meant to be played outdoors. Big Ten competition is primarily played on outdoor courts - which is impossible at Michigan. "The current outdoor courts are just not satisfactory at all. We have no courts that we could use for inter- collegiate competition," Weidenbach said. "We believe, and the tennis coaches agree, that we could have a successful program with the (new) facilities. Our highest priority is to . have outdoor courts" The only method that the program has for hosting intercol- legiate events is by renting space at the Liberty Sports Complex, and the Huron Valley Tennis Club in Ann Arbor. "In order to carry on a competitive program in men's and women's tennis, we must rent courts," Weidenbach said. Within the resource-rich Michigan athletic department, this situation is aston- ishing, and unacceptable. The complex will be built on the southwest corner of the University golf course, on South Main Street, near Ann Arbor/Saline Road. The plan allots for 12 outdoor and eight indoor courts, locker-rooms, and parking space. The land space would be approximately ten acres. Skepticism was raised about the location of the site, because the proposed site is a long hike from the rest of the athletic campus. "I think its quite a ways away from the athletic complex," Regent Thomas Roach (D- Saline) said. "It's bigger than the Stadium and the Law Quad, and it seems big for only 12 courts." The athletic department searched for available land closer to the athletic complex, but was left with no other options. "We don't like to be that far," Weidenbach said, "but we don't have an alternative site." 90 I- 1- _. i - The University of Michigan SCHOOL OF MUSIC Mon. Oct. 22 AETNA COMING.
