Women's Basketball vs. Central Michigan Tonight, 7:30 p.m. Mount Pleasant SPORTS Women's Swimming Michigan Open Tomorrow, TBA Canham Natatorium The Michigan Daily Tuesday, December 3, 1991 Page 8 'M' derails Lehigh behind Rawls bros. 'M' cagers outrun Detroit, 100-74 by Shawn DuFresne Daily Sports Writer Considering the busy itinerary the Michigan wrestling team had this weekend, Wolverine coach Dale Bahr was pleased with his team's 21-15 victory over Lehigh Sunday in Bethlehem, Penn. "Our team endured a hectic schedule," Bahr said, "flying in Sat- urday, rushing to the arena Sunday, and catching the plane immediately after the match." The Wolverines made the most of their short stay after spotting the Engineers a 6-0 lead on a Spanky Jor- dan pin of Michigan's Dan Lee- master in the 118-pound class. Michigan captured the next three matches to take the lead, 10-6. Jason Cluff's (126) major decision of Le- high's Tom Koch, 10-1, started the rally. Then Michigan all-American Joey Gilbert (134) responded in similar fashion by defeating John McCumber, 11-5, while junior James Rawls (142) decisioned Chris O'Byme,10-4. Wolverine Brian Harper (150) lost a heartbreaker to Lehigh's Steve Cassidy, 6-5, as the Engineers closed the gap on Michigan,10-9. But Michigan's Sean Bormet (158) responded by defeating Engi- neer Brian Cipollone in a 13-2 major decision, to give the Wolverines a five-point margin. Then came the most exciting match of the day at 167. It pitted Michigan newcomer Jesse Rawls, Jr., who finished second at junior na- tionals last year, with the junior na- tional champion, Rick Hepp. Rawls, the younger brother of James, fell behind 9-4 at one point in the match, but roared back to win, 13-12. "Jesse hung in when he was be- hind, and did an excellent job com- ing back," Bahr said. "He is 10-2 now, which is impressive for a true rookie." Michigan all-American Lanny Green (177) was upset by Solomon Fleckman, 6-5, but Wolverine Jehad Hamden (190) increased Michigan's lead by trouncing Antholy Silim- peri,16-3. Michigan heavyweight Phil Tomek fell to Lehigh's John Mor- ris, 3-1, but it was too late for the Engineers. "The score could have been 30-9, but they won more matches than we expected," Bahr said. The Wolverines head to the Las Vegas Classic this weekend, which is a "mini-NCAA tournament," ac- cording to Bahr. by David Schechter Daily Basketball Writer DETROIT - In last night's sea- son opener against the University of Detroit at Cobo Hall, the Michigan basketball team showed flashes of "wow" and "whoa" en route to a 100-74 victory.t "I'd like to get longer stretchesi of 'wow' and slow down on thet 'whoa,'" Michigan coach Steve Fisher said. The Wolverines exhibited strong offensive ability that showed up inI spurts throughout the game. But ont the 'whoa' side, the team also com- mitted 34 turnovers. "We've got to work to eliminatet careless and casual turnovers that we create for ourself," Fisher said. "We had 15 or 20 that we did all on our own." Frosh Chris Webber stole thel show offensively scoring 19 points,I while pulling down 17 rebounds asl well. "No matter how it looked, I'll take the win in the win column," Webber said. "We have a lot to im- prove on and we will improve by next game." Webber did hit some rough stretches, though. Near the end of the first half, the Cobo crowd - familiar with Webber's exploits and his Detroit roots - shouted, "Air ball," as he stood on the free- throw line. Webber missed both shots, airballing the second. Jalen Rose, also a Detroit recruit, enjoyed the trip back to the city. "As a whole, I think we were nervous," Rose said. "But then it started to feel like we were at home again. Coming back home means a lot." Detroit coach Ricky Byrdsong felt the game slipped away from his Titans. "We just couldn't shoot it," Byrdsong said. "We forced a number of turnovers and if we could have capitalized on the offensive end, it would have been a whole lot better of a ballgame." Michigan's first-year players contributed noticeably to the team's offensive output. Rose scored 16, while Jimmy King and Juwan How- ard each added 15. Though the game finished with a 28 point margin of victory, the Titans pulled within seven midway through the second half. But Mich- igan took charge, showcasing its up- tempo game, outscoring the Titans 30-16 in the last ten minutes. "We have to get used to playing with each other," Michigan guard Michael Talley said. "It's good for the younger guys to get experience. We're learning to work together. We have to improve on our turn- overs and our defense." James Voskuil, who had been starting for the Wolverines at for- ward, sat out last night's game with a knee injury he suffered in practice. However, Voskuil said he expects to be back and ready to play when Michigan travels to play Cleveland State Saturday. MICHIGAN (100) Player FG FT R A PF TP ANIHONY M.

Peace would reign. Prince would stop trying to make movies. And the Michigan women's basket- ball team would have plenty of time to bask in the glory of its 86- 67 shellacking of Boston College. Unfortunately, such is not the case. Global warfare continues, the Purple One is probably penning a screenplay as we speak, and the Wolverines (1-0) have to start wor- rying about tonight's game at Cen- tral Michigan. "I talked with them in the locker room about it," Michigan coach Bud VanDeWege said. "This is a long first stretch. We don't have time to celebrate wins or worry about losses. When this stretch is over, we can look back and reflect." Central Michigan (3-0) has just as much to be proud of as the Bowl Griddes! It's time you did something for you.

The Chippewas are coming off a sweep of their Com- fort Inn/Chippewa Classic, defeat- ing Illinois-Chicago, 70-62, and Xavier, 90-73. Junior forward Carla Sterk was named Most Valuable Player of the 'They beat us on our floor, now we want to go up there and return it' - Bud VanDeWege 'M' basketball coach tournament, tallying 33 points and 22 rebounds. CMU also received contributions from junior guard Carrie Isanhart, junior forward Car- lotta Craven, and sophomore for- ward Nikki Thompkins, and a total of six players scored in double figures in the championship contest against Xavier. "We don't have too many weak- nesses at this point," CMU coach Donita Davenport said. "We've done well in all phases of the game." Last year, Central Michigan came down to Ann Arbor and easily defeated the Wolverines, 64-48. VanDeWege feels that his players haven't forgotten this. "There's basically the same peo- ple returning from both teams," he said. "They beat us on our floor, now we want to go up there and re- turn it. It's not the prime motiva- tor, but it's part of it." After being held to such a low point total in the previous meeting, the squad realizes its offense is the key to its success. "Their defense gave us problems last year," VanDeWege said. "We need to come out and make things happen." As always, the intrastate rivalry comes into play when these teams meet. "It's a good rivalry, not only on the floor, but with recruiting," Davenport said. "It's the kind of game, that when the ball goes up, you can forget about the records and forget about who's supposed to win." "I think it comes into play more for them," VanDeWege said. "They want to beat Michigan. It's an extra motivator, and it's something we have to be concerned about." Michigan is led by sophomore center Michelle Hall, and junior forward Trish Andrew, who scored 27 points Sunday. The Wolverines lead the all-time series, 10-7.
