Men's Soccer vs. Schoolcraft Today, 4 p.m. Mitchell Field The Michigan Daily SPORTS Field Hockey vs. Iowa Friday, 3 p.m. Tartan Turf Wednesday, October 24, 1990l Page 9 S si Spikers by David Schechter Daily Sports Writer One streak ends and another one continues. The Wolverines dropped a close match to Western Michigan yes- terday, 15-11, 12-15, 12-15, 15-6, 15-2, as the Broncos lengthened their winning streak over Michigan to nine games in eight years. Western .also terminated the Wolverines three game winning streak. Michigan lost its momentum early in the fourth game when setter Autumn Collins went down with a twisted right ankle. - "We're having a lot trouble at our setting position right now getting consistency," Michigan coach Peggy Bradley-Doppes said. "You can see that once Autumn went out so did our offense." The loss only revealed one bright spot on the Wolverine squad. "I'm very disappointed with our performance. I felt we had a great performance from Julia Sturm, but a sub-par performance from the rest of the team," the coach said. Sturm tallied ten digs in yesterday's game putting her total at over 600 for her career. More impor- tantly her 29 kills carried the Wolverines through the five game go five match. "We knew Julia was having a good match and we relied too heavily on her," Bradley-Doppes said. "You can't do that against a good team like Western Michigan. We needed to come and play ball and we just didn't" Sturm was the thorn in Western's side, according to Bronco coach Rob Buck. He felt his team was lucky to escaped a loss because Sturm "kept hitting the same shot over and over and over again." Michigan assistant coach Jim Smoot was impressed with Sturm's play as well. "Julia was un- believable," he said. Although pleased with her performance Sturm hoped for more. "We could have one this match," the senior captain said, "and we didn't give it enough of what we have to win it." The third game of the match was sets, still lose unusually long and draining for both teams. Although Michigan won that game, they lost their consistency. "We were good at times, but also we were struggling for no apparent reason," Sturm said. Buck felt the game was poorly played on both sides. "Both teams Smoot pointed out that the problems have been more than physical. "Mentally we're not doing the job in that were telling them things like the left side blocker should move out, and then were telling them that at the 'end of the game 'I think that was the kind of a match that's like a coin flip. It wasn't a classic example of high-level volleyball' - Rob Buck Michigan volleyball coach Western are struggling," he said. "I think at times there was some skill involved. I think that was the kind of a match that's like a coin flip. It wasn't a classic example of high-level volleyball." Bradley-Doppes was equally distressed by the game: "I wasn't pleased with our effort at all." three hours later and it hasn't changed," Smoot said. "Things like that are what's hurting us." Before leaving the game, Collins was able to lead the Wolverines in sets with 29 on the game. She paled in comparison, however, to Kris Penza of Western who tallied 57 for the match.

Women S 4y Robert Siegel Scoring goals has never been a problem for the Michigan women's soccer team. Prior to playing in this past weekend's Ohio State club tournament, the team had scored a total of 87 goals this season. The team did little harm to its goal-scoring reputation, adding 28 more goals in five games and winning the ten-team tournament at -olumbus, Ohio in the process. Michigan won all five games it played in this weekend's tournament. On Saturday the Wolverines defeated Kent State, 9-0; Denison, 7-0; and Ohio, 3-1. On Sunday, they picked up right where they left off, disposing of Miami of Ohio, 7-0, and Purdue, 2-1. "We pretty much dominated the First four games," captain Krista Towne said. "Purdue was much tougher. It was hard adjusting to their game." Sunday's Purdue game, the championship match, was the only close game the team played all soccer .win weekend. At the end of regulation, Michigan and Purdue were tied at 1- 1. Lisa Ashton scored in double overtime to give Michigan the vic- tory. After five games, two overtime periods, and 28 goals in two days, the Wolverines had finally won the tournament. "We outscored the Michigan foot- ball team this weekend," sophomore center forward Shannon Loper said. The team's prodigious scoring had to come to an end at some point, however, and that point came yester- day when the Wolverines dropped a 2-0 decision at Siena Heights. The shutout marked the first time Mich- igan had been held scoreless in sev- eral weeks. Siena scored both of its goals within the first ten minutes of the game to take the early lead. The deficit was too large for the usually high-scoring Wolverines to come - back from, as they were shut down the rest of the way offensively. The loss was not surprising, s tourney however, considering the exhausting weekend the team had just been through. The players entered the game drained by the tournament completed just two days earlier. "We didn't play well at all yesterday against Siena," Loper said. "Everyone was just really tired." Towne agreed: "Siena just came out a lot stronger than we did. They were a lot more physical, and they beat us to the ball the whole time. They dominated the first half. We really weren't prepared. Everyone was still sore and tired from the weekend." This week won't offer much rest either. Tomorrow, the team travels to Bowling Green for a 4:30 p.m. match. But Loper doesn't expect another uninspired, scoreless perfor- mance from her team. "We're going to definitely get psyched up for that one," Loper said. FOOTBALL NOTE by Eric Lemont Daily Football Writer Believe it or not, the Big Ten; football season is shaping up as the' conference coaches said it wouldbe. On the Big Ten teleconference two weeks ago, no less than six teams were mentioned as having a shot to win the title. Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota are in a three-way tie for first at 3-0, with Indiana and Ohio State a game and a half game behind. Meanwhile, Michigan languishes in a sixth-place tie with Northwestern and Michigan State at 1-2, with winless Purdue and Wisconsin rounding out the conference basement. Indeed, few would have expected the Hawkeyes to be in their current lofty position after finishing 5-6 last season while becoming Iowa's first team in nine years not to be invited to a bowl.+ But according to Iowa coach Hayden Fry, nobody should have expected any less from his surging' football team, ranked No. 15 in the nation. "I said at the kickoff luncheon in July that the Hawkeyes could be the 40 40 41 'D :uuuR ;-- . to all surprise team of the season," Fry said. "I think it (the Big Ten) has; always been extremely competitive., This year I think it's happening with more consistency. Maybe this is just but Fry "My back is still sore but I'm up and around," Cooper said. "I've been coaching 27 years and missed three days of practice. I guess this (yesterday) will be number four." REMEMBERING THE COME- BACK: Saturday's Minnesota-Ohio State game will be the first game between the two teams since the Buckeyes rallied from a 31-0 half- time deficit to win 41-37 last October. Said Gophers' coach John Gute- kunst "I tried to make sure I'd never remember that game, but it didn't' work. I told my players afterwards that that game showed me two things. "One, it gives you a great deal of respect for Ohio State. And two, it reminds you that there's always" hope, so let's play for 60 minutes. But we won't win the game because of any feeling we have for last year.' GETTING THERE: Tailback Jon Vaughn needs only 54 yards to reach the 1000-yard mark for th& season and fullback Jarrod Bunch needs only four yards to reach that mark for his career. Iowa surprise try the year of the upset. Maybe the Cincinnati Reds are falling in line with the football teams." COOPER IN HOSPITAL: Ohio State coach John Cooper is in the hospital recovering from back surgery but should be available for coaching duties this Saturday against Minnesota.
