The Michigan men's water polo
team ran into a roadblock at the
Wildcat Invitational Friday night.
Host Northwestern, the Wol-
verines' conference rivals, won the
match, 10-9, taking sole possession
of first place in the Big Ten.
As had been true in the teams'
previous meetings,,the margin of
victory was only one goal. Another
recurring motif was the Wildcats'
tendency to apply pressure in the
fourth quarter, while Michigan ap-
peared to fold.
In the teams' first confrontation,
the Badger Invitational,
Northwestern came from behind to
win on a last second goal. In their
next meeting, the Wolverine
Invitational, Northwestern made a
strong comeback bid late in the
game, only to fall one score short.
Friday, the Wolverines again
took a lead into the fourth quarter,
only to watch the Wildcats shut
down Michigan's big guns and re-
lentlessly blister Wolverine goal-
tender Sam Chuang.
However, Michigan's defeat was
not entirely attributable to the
fourth quarter letdown.
"We jumped into the match
right after we got off the bus (from
Ann Arbor)," Michigan coach Scott
Russell said. "(Northwestern) had
already played two matches, which
amounted to warm-ups, before we
got there. Our defense was solid, as
usual, but it's kind of hard to get
your offense to click perfectly com-
ing right off the road."
Michigan was unable to field its
top squad. Many of the team's top
performers did not make the trip
due to academic commitments.
Northwestern, playing in its home
pool, faced no such problems.
"Winning against your top op-
ponent is really tough when you're
missing some of the key links to
your team," Russell said. "I'm re-
ally not too disappointed (about the
loss), considering the circum-
stances."
The loss ended Michigan's 12-
game winning streak. However, the
Wolverines (13-2 in the Big Ten, 21-
5 overall) were able to bounce back
in the tournament's three remaining
matches Saturday.
Michigan crushed Ohio State, the
University of Wisconsin at
Milwaukee, and the University of
Illinois at Chicago 15-2, 14-7, and
13-8, respectively. The Wolverines
will attempt to carry this momen-
tum into the Big Ten Champion-
ships in Evanston Nov. 8.

"Choose your starting
point carefully. When you plan on
making engineering your life, look for a company with the size and
diversity to provide an unparalleled spectrum of career options.
Like General Motors. Look for a company with numerous divisions,
groups, subsidiaries and joint ventures making technological advances
in everything from cars and trucks to satellites. Like General Motors.
Then talk to engineers of all disciplines who share both our commit-
ment to individual achievement and our passion for teamwork.
And, most importantly, don't miss your opportunity to discuss your
personal ambitions with our representatives when they visit your
campus. Once you know all the facts, you'll know why the world's
largest industrial corporation is the right place to launch your career."
Teamwork that
