Page 8-The Michigan Daily- Sports Monday- November 11, 1991 Men's soccer drops finale, 3-0 Oakland penalty kick denies 'M' seniors final victory by Mike Rancilio The Michigan men's soccer club lost to Oakland Saturday night, 3-0. Oakland, the eighth-ranked team in Division II, was the last opponent of the season for the Wolverines, who finished 8-10-3. The Wolverines played with Oakland for the first half, but gave up a penalty-kick goal five minutes into the second half. Michigan never got back on track. Although Michigan remained under .500, coach Aaron Smith con- sidered the season a success. "We have nothing to be ashamed of," Smith said as he addressed his team following the loss. "We've played competitive varsity pro- grams and have played very tough." The club's schedule was consid- ered more competitive than most varsity teams' schedule. Their list of opponents included Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Michi- gan State. The end of the match signified the end of the collegiate careers of co-captain Dick Hillary, Rob Albritton, Tim Puckett, Doug Spamer, and goalkeeper Marc Kuiper. Hillary felt his three years at Michigan was a great experience. "I came to Michigan for aca- demic reasons, but I've enjoyed play- ing soccer, too," Hillary said. "I've made many great friends." Michigan is already looking forward to next season. Kelley Kuehne will be back to anchor the defense, and Brian Rosewarne and Resa Sadjapour will lead an improv- ing offense. VOLLEYBALL Continued from page 1 ficulties greatly contributed to the defeat. "We just got a little tentative at the beginning (of the match)," she said, "because they were just ripping on our serves. I think that's one of the areas where we got beat." Michigan's service woes started early. Errors by Smith, Horrigan, Collias and Tarnisha Thompson turned the ball over to the Lady Li- ons and contributed to Penn State's 6-1 run to start the match. Even Bradley-Doppes' timeout couldn't take the momentum from the surg- ing Lions, who capitalized on two more missed serves and went on a 9- 3 run after the break to take the first game. Game Two started just as omi- nously, with Penn State taking the first three points and building a 7-1 lead. Then the Wolverines started to claw back, sparked by the play of sophomore Fiona Davidson, who led Michigan with 13 kills and 2 aces. Junior Hayley Lorenzen, who turned out a 10-kill match, also con- tributed to the comeback that gave Michigan a 9-7 lead. But after a Penn State timeout, the rally fizzled, and the visitors went on to take the game and a 2-0 lead to intermission. The third game was much like the second, with Penn State racing to a 9-2 lead, allowing Michigan to come within 9-7, and prevailing in the end. "We just didn't have the effort (to finish the rallies)," Davidson said. "We'd get (momentum), but, unfortunately, we let it slip away a lot. I still think we put up a helluva fight, but we've fought a lot better than we did tonight. " Junior middle blocker Leanne Kling was all over the court, lead- ing both teams with 15 kills. Her effort typified the Lions' showing, and most Wolverines agreed that Penn State's power was, in the end, too much to handle. Which leaves the obvious ques- tion: what does Michigan do to snap its losing streak and prepare for the rest of the season? "We just have to go to practice and work hard," Horrigan said. "And then work harder." 0" U U a WHAT'S HAPPENING ................
