The Michigan Daily- Monday, October 22,1990- Page 15 MICHIGAN SPORTS 1MundQV Michigan kickers upset Kalamazoo by Andrew Brown Daily Sports Writer As the day began, the Michigan men's soccer club had a lot of high hopes, but at the same time realized the strength of their competition. They were up against Kalamazoo College on Saturday, ranked 4th in the midwest for Division III. When it was all said and done, club member Tim Puckett described the game as "the biggest win of my career." With no score after regulation play, Michigan gained control of the ball in overtime and sent a cross into the box. Forward Guy Metzeger challenged the goalkeeper and jarred the ball loose. Todd Neff was there for the rebound and scored the only goal of the contest to give the Wolverines a 1-0 win. Kalamazoo entered the contest with a 14-1 record. But with patient ball control and a tremendous defense led by Puckett, the Wolverines were able to hold off their high-flying attack. Puckett held in check top scorer Derek Bylsma who has 25 goals on the season. This was the Wolverines 3rd shutout in a row. "This was our best defensive performance all season," club member Rob Albritton said. "Tim played great and we really held them down." Puckett expressed similar feelings. "Mark Kuiper, the goalkeeper played terrific and freshman sweeper Brian Rosewarne did a fine job," Puckett said. "It was a huge defensive effort and we just cashed in at the right time." The Wolverines controlled the midfield for the majority of the contest * and played very patiently. Kalamazoo had more shots but it was certainly a very even contest that could have gone either way. "Things are really starting to fall for us," Albritton said. "We're now 9-7 and it's a shame the season is almost over. This is the best we have played all year." Rugby squad avoids running, beats Purdue by Charlie Wolfe Daily Sports Contributor The Michigan women's rugby team had plenty of incentive in their match Saturday versus Purdue, because coach Bryn Chivers applied some good old-fashioned scare tactics to spur the team on to victory. Just before the ball was about to be kicked off, Chivers called out to his team, "Hey Blue, for every point they (Purdue) score, it's a trip up the hill." With that, he pointed to some very generous hills beyond Mitchell. Field, and the Wolverines promptly proceeded to shut-out the 4 Boilermakers, 12-0. Michigan began the scoring when Julie Liebler carried the ball in for the first try (worth four points) 10 minutes into the action. Plenty of hard tackling by both sides dominated first half play, but Mena Colucci was able to score the team's second try after a perfect series of laterals by Blue's back line, making the score 8-0 at the half. Liebler concluded the scoring in the second half with a short run for her second try of the game, and tough defense preserved the 12-0 Wolverine victory. Chivers noted on the team's performance, "Our offense isn't as crisp as it could be, but we really tackled hard and we're starting to get respect for that." Michigan kept its string intact of not having been scored upon by a college (undergraduate) team, although Purdue was at a bit of a disadvantage. "They had some injuries and things last week, just like the last time we played them," team president Erika Wolf said. "It's really tough (for other teams) -because not many teams are as organized or have as big a squad as us."

Chi Omega emerged victorious, 2-0, in the latest edition of this annual struggle. Battle of the writers goes to State, 6-4 a by Adam Miller Daily Sports Writer Because phone calls totalled in the hundreds requesting the week- old account of the Daily/State News football game October 13, the Daily has decided to print this story. Whatever happened to touch football? Editor-in-chief Noah Finkel would sure like to know. He suffered a concussion, requiring six hours of hospitalization, in October 13th's rough and tumble game between the State News and the Michigan Daily. State extended its win streak to four, beating the Daily on its home turf 6- 4. (A touchdown earned one point and the team that scored six first won automatically.) BIG WINS Continued from page 9 Sophomore offensive hitter Chris White, and senior middle blocker Julia Sturm authored of most of these stats. White's hitting percentage soared to .417, she knocked down 12 kills, and only forced two errors. Sturm hit .364, with ten kills, two errors, and led the team in blocks and aces. Michigan then took a doubleheader sweep Saturday evening when they thrashed Northern Michigan, 15-1, 15-9, 15-8. "It was on overall team effort," Bradley-Doppes said. "The keys were great defense and team effort, we average five digs per person, which shows the effort was there." To round out the cathartic weekend, the Wolverines spiked the hometown Michigan Tech Huskies, This year's game started much as last year's 5-1 State romp in East Lansing did, as the News jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead. After a TD bomb on 4th and long, State intercepted quarterback Eric Lemont and pro- ceeded to drive down the field for an- other touchdown. The Daily was determined not to be embarrassed again, however, and their character showed in the ensuing comeback. Lemont, who threw for three touchdowns on the day, hit. R.C. Heaton at the State 15 and Heaton turned on the burners to take it in. Walter Butzu's interception on State's next drive sparked the Daily. On 4th down, Lemont found Ken Artz at the MSU 10. Artz, who had two touchdowns and an interception, then displayed his "Magic" moves, evading a State defender and diving past the pylon to even the score at 2- 2. Nose tackle Jeff Sheran penetrated the State line all afternoon long, cre- ating an unfriendly environment for the MSU backs. His third tackle-for- loss of the game forced State into a long fourth and goal situation. John Niyo almost intercepted the despera- tion pass, but a slight timing error allowed State to retake the lead 3-2. The Green and White went on to pad their lead at 4-2 as the momentum was again theirs. Lemont's 40 yard strike to Heaton pulled the Daily to within one, 4-3, but the State News an- swered on the next drive. The News soon had the ball again and Artz re- turned an interception for a touch- down. The Daily could muster no more and State soon sealed the game. Afterwards, many on the Daily's team were left with mixed emotions, proud of their comeback yet disap- pointed with the result. Perhaps most frustrating was the fact that Daily defender Jeff Cameron was found to have been playing under the influence of alcohol. He was imme- diately suspended by coach Mike Gill and his pay from the Daily was docked. An outraged and thirsty Gill later said, "That...will not be toler- ated. His ill-advised thinking may have cost us the game." Furthermore, in the physical ac- tion, many players suffered injuries and the State players did look aw- fully big and strong compared to the Daily's squad. Sheran managed to dominate despite a badly bruised left quadricep; but Heaton, who notched two touchdowns and an interception, concurred with the rumor that not all of the Spartan players were necessar- ily News staffers. "They had a lot of big guys," Heaton said. "We were overmanned and at a definite disadvantage." Said Lemont, jokingly, of the State pressure, "I'm going to put a bounty on the head of our player rep who negotiated the 'two apple' count." Gill was most pleased with the team's attitude this year. He put most of the blame for last year's de- feat on the team's lack of preparation and negativism, but, this year's team was "180 degrees different...you could see it in their eyes. They knew that they could win." Going into the game, Gill had sparked the team with the mottos "We will never be embarrassed again" and "Those who play will be champions." The Daily certainly wasn't embarrassed, but, alas, State remains champions for another year. 14-16, 15-13,15-13, 15-2. "We were rattled after the first game," Bradley-Doppes said. "We were playing with confidence, but when the match was close, we lost our discipline." In games past, the inexperienced Wolverines may have been tempted to concede the match to the fired-up Huskies - but not this time. Michigan was wading through a sloppy match by the time the fourth game started. But fire and brimstone by the coach - "I raised Cain" - and consistency by the players led to a speedy end to the match. Senior captain Julia Sturm finally had her good play translated into Michigan victories. Her hitting percentage was a stratospheric .467. "Julia was tremendous," Bradley- Doppes said. "Her play this weekend was the biggest bright spot of our play to date." I" I -- I .s~. . . . Weekends just aren't weekends without the.
