N ~ Mt.' sStt tTense --- T-------------------------- by Tim Spolar Daily Sports Writer 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. 0 An opportunity for qualified undergraduates to spend a year of study at Oxford.
