Both teams ex- changed blows which reverberated throughout Goggin Arena, and pro- vided excitement for the crowd. However, Michigan's speed and size were too much for Miami, particu- larly when the teams were not both skating at full strength. Friday, Denny Felsner opened the scoring with a Gus Macker goal (3- on-3). Brian Wiseman, in a 4-on-4 situation, grabbed a loose puck, faked out the Redskin defenders and bested goalie Mark Michaud for Michigan's second score. Redskin Dan Carter beat goalie Steve Shields for Miami's only goal, after which defenseman Aaron Ward, in yet another 4-on-4 situation, countered with a shot from the point that was partially blocked but still jumped over Michaud's glove. Despite the respect due a first- place team, the outcome of the game was anticipated by the Wolverines. "Well, they came out tough," David Oliver said. "We knew it would be a battle, but we came out and outworked them and the result showed on the scoreboard." Ward, who had one goal and three assists for the weekend, was a little less complimentary of the Redskins. "The goaltending was a little shaky. They haven't played anybody who was really good," he said. "We had to take away the idea that they thought they were really good, and they realized that in the second period when we started skating around them." While Michigan followed the first period with identical three- goal outbursts in the second and third periods Friday, it was the play in the second period which presented a microcosm of the weekend's action. In the second, the Redskins held the Wolverines in check for nearly 17 minutes, but could not capitalize on their own opportunities because Shields stopped all their shots. "Shields made some big saves that kept the score down," Mich- igan coach Red Berenson said. Another representative theme evident in the second period was the Wolverines squandering chances but using their tremendous speed advan- tage to overcome Miami. 'We had to take away the idea that they thought they were really good' -Aaron Ward Michigan defenseman "They are a very strong, fast, physical team," Gwozdecky said. "After they scored (the fourth goal), boom, the next shift they scored again. .Our mental level dropped a lot." Saturday night, the Redskins showed much more resolve, result- ing in a 1-1 score after one period and a 5-4 Michigan lead after two. In the second period with the score still 2-2, Wolverine Mike Knuble picked up the rebound from Cam Stewart to score the next Wolverine goal. Felsner and David Roberts followed with power-play goals, apparently icing the game. However, the Redskins did not quit. Led by defenseman Joe Cook, who scored his second power-play goal of the night on a rebound, Miami pulled to 5-4. "Last night we were just too hy- per," Cook said. "Tonight we play- ed a lot better game, as the score would indicate." Wolverine goalie Chris Gordon had a lot to do with the final score. Replacing Steve Shields, who was suffering from a nagging pulled stomach muscle, Gordon stopped all seven shots he faced. "I thought the key to the game was the third period when Gordon came in and stopped us," Gwoz- decky said. a OXFORD - My high school soccer coach called it "twisting the knife." As in, "Team, once you plunge the knife, you can't pull it out. You've got to twist the knife." The Wolverines twice dug the blade into Miami, once Friday and again Saturday. Michigan knocked the Redskins down, and wouldn't let them up. The Wolverines exhibited the drive in- lrinsic in a winner. Michigan is not merely a good or great team. It is a team that knows very well how to win games. Friday, with Michigan leading, 3-1, and Miami holding close, the Wolverines exploded for three goals in 2:47 to close the second period. or the remainder of the game, the Redskins appeared slightly flatter than the state of Nebraska. The Redskins were trying to open the door, but Michigan slammed it shut, and got Miami's fingers caught in the process. Saturday, a similar situation arose. With the score tied, 2-2, goals from Mike Knuble, Denny Felsner and David Roberts elevated Michigan to a 5-2 advantage. Apparently embarrassed by its social faux pas from the night before, host Miami decided to offer competition for the remainder of the match. .The Redskins struck twice to close the period, and suddenly, at 5-4, Michigan had a close game on its hands. 0 "They had us reeling from time to time," Michigan coach Red Beren- son admitted. This was one of those times. The Redskins finally brought the capacity crowd into the game, Mi- ami had momentum, and because Michigan goalkeeper Steve Shields had suffered a stomach muscle pull, Berenson had to throw Chris Gordon into the midst of a tight match. "In the third period, we were where we wanted to be," Miami coach George Gwozdecky admitted. But Michigan responded with two goals and solid defense to win, 7-4. This type of response will take Michigan far - being certain of vic- tory, and knowing what is necessary to obtain it. Miami doesn't have that knowledge. A team's memory on how to win games tends to become a little fuzzy when it only wins five times in a season, as the Redskins did last year. But Miami is improving. It came into the series with a five-game winning streak, and was ready to take on Michigan. "We feel it is payback time this time around," Miami defenseman Bobby Marshall said earlier in the week. But Michigan cane into town, and showed Miami what a winning team is all about. "For them to split with Michigan would have been a fantastic suc- ess," Helber said. "For us to split would have been a very big disap- pointment."

CELEB RATING 200 YEARS * THE BILL OF RIGHTS* It-s Good For Your Constitution KRISTOFFER GILLETTE/Daily Michigan's Brian Wiseman skates against Minnesota earlier this month. The Wolverines swept Miami by scores of 9-1 and 7-4 this weekend. Ouimet duo likes to play all in the family "OFFENSIVE SPEECH, ACADEMIC FREEDOM, AND THE FIRST AMENDMENT" y Andy De Korte and Ken Sugiura Daily Hockey Writers OXFORD - When Michigan battles Miami of Ohio in hockey, Wolverine center Mark Ouimet has a different type of confrontation. His brother, Terry Ouimet, plays for the Redskins. "Well, I played against him last year, too," Mark Ouimet said. "I don't really like it. I keep an eye on him to make sure no one hits him and I eally can't fully concentrate on the game as well I could." The brothers' mixed feeling were pale in comparison with Dani Ouimet, their mother. "I have to remain neutral, I kind of wished they would have split the games," she said. "When they are both out there I am kind of nervous." The two brothers did play on a junior team together, but never played well together on the ame line. However, they were both scouted by olverine coach Red Berenson. "I saw (Terry) play. I liked him ... he was good," Berenson said. "I think they both were centers when we saw them. We only took one center that year. We really liked Mark's style and he was a year younger." BACK IN'THE RING: Wolverine defense- ,"man Chris Tamer was involved in a fracas with Redskin Steve Wilson at the 18:09 mark of the second period. The fight resulted in game sus- pensions for Tamer and Wilson. "I was disappointed with the call," Tamer said. "But it's at the discretion of the referee and I can live with it." Niether player dropped his gloves, usually the accepted rule for disqualifications. SHHH. WE'RE WATCHING A HOCKEY GAME: Despite a crowd numbering 800 over ca- pacity, and a conference rival in town, the Gog- gin Arena faithful did their best impersonation of the Crisler Arena partisans. The Redskin fans participated in no cheers, rarely taunted the vis- iting Wolverines, and generally remained very well-behaved. In fact, the biggest uproar was re- served for the occasional updates of nearby Ta- lawanda High School's football playoff game. RECORD CROWD?: The Goggin arena record crowd of 3,248 set Nov. 21, 1988 is safe. Although capacity is 2,200, Miami can no longer count past 3,050, without being at risk from the fire marshall. A Goggin Arena official, who wished to re- main nameless, said that there were over 3,400 people in attendance Friday. The standing room only crowd lined up three and four people deep from one blue line, around the goal and to the other blue line on both ends of the rink. The crowd of 3,050, was the same for both nights and are the sixth and seventh highest crowds. THE END OF THE LINE: After an amazing showing last weekend against Minnesota last weekend, the line of Denny Felsner, Brian Wiseman, and David Oliver had no goals in which they all contributed a point. Also, Oliver's personal goal streak against Miami ended at five games. FROSH FIRSTS: Rookies Ron Sacka and Mike Knuble racked up their first career goals for Michigan. Sacka's shorthanded tally came at the 11:07 mark in the third period of Friday's contest. After knocking the puck away from Redskin Trent Eigner at the Michigan blue line, the Brooklyn, Mich., native skated in on goaltender Mark Michaud and beat him to the gloveside. Knuble put the Wolverines ahead to stay Sat- urday night when he fired a rebound past backup netminder Richard Shulmistra. GOODBYE, GILBERT: Michigan left wing Denny Felsner continued his assault on the record books. With his three goals this weekend, Felsner broke his tie with Gilbert Bur- ford for Michigan career goal total, and moved into third place with 106 goals. On the career points chart, Felsner's linemate David Roberts brought his total to 131 and a tie for 30th with John Matchefts. Six points ahead in 27th is Berenson.
