Sloppy pI
defense stifles Michigan
ay looms big in Wolverines' 64-48 defeat
by Rod Loewenthal
Daily Basketball Writer
Central Michigan's women's
basketball coach Donita Davenport
notched career win No. 100 at
Michigan's expense last night as the
Wolverines fell to the Chippewas at
Crisler, 64-48.
The Wolverines (3-2) jumped out
to an early, 7-0, lead, but everything
was downhill from there. Sluggish
play and a strident Central defense
paralyzed Michigan all evening.
"The early lead was deceiving,"
Michigan coach Bud VanDeWege
said. "It was a real sleepy start. Both
teams were playing very tentatively"
At halftime, the 26-25 score was
deceptively close and Michigan was
lucky to be behind by only one
point considering the lackadaisical
Chippewa play.
"Our defense sets the tempo for
us and we were playing reaction de-
fense in the first half," Davenport
said. "We finally got the defense go-
ing in the first half, but it took
awhile for our offense to catch up
with us."
Once the Central defense tight-
ened, the result was disastrous for
the Wolverines. Carla Sterk once
again proved to be the Chippewas'
defensive stopper, forcing bad shots
and numerous Michigan turnovers.
The sophomore forward also hustled
at the other end of the court as she
tallied 17 points.
The backcourt defensive play of
the Chippewas was the key to their
success. "If you can play good back-
court defense then that takes away 15
seconds of the 30 (seconds) that they
have to score," Davenport said.
The Chippewas only improved
when they came out for the final
twenty minutes. Senior forward Sue
Nissen grabbed 7 rebounds and ended
up with 18 points, shooting almost
62 percent from the floor.
Sophomore standout Trish An-
drew notched a career-high 22 points,
almost half of the Wolverine's out-
put. Among her many admirers was
Davenport..
"She was more than we could
handle. She has a real nice shot from
15 feet," Davenport said. "The only
person I have that could get a hand
in her face was my freshman."
Exhausted from her 36 minutes
of banging underneath the boards,
Andrew complimented her team-
mates for feeding her the ball. "We
have plays that incorporate a down-
screen that leaves me open in my
spot," Andrew said. "They just hit
me when I was open."
VanDeWege recognized his
team's lack of scoring diversity, re-
sulting in a dependence on Andrew
as its sole provider.
"Trish had to shoulder too much
of the offense," he commented. "I
just couldn't let her come out since
she scored darn-near half of our
points."
Carol Szczechowski's turnover
late in the game iced the game for
the Chippewas. With 2:07 left,
Szczechowski brought the ball up-
court only to throw it away to where
she thought her point guard was.
Although it was too late at this
time to cut the Chippewas' 12-point
lead, the turnover symbolized Mich-
igan's play throughout the game. "We got spanked," VanDeWege
