HOCKEY NOTEBOOK
Berenson apologizes to
LSSU galeMadeley
by Josh Dubow
Daily Hockey Writer
Before last weekend's encounter with Lake Superior, Michigan hockey
coach Red Berenson expressed some doubts about how great a goaltender
LSSU junior Darrin Madeley was. Berenson speculated that the reason for
Madeley's incredible success this season was because of an improved Laker
defense. Madeley took this questioning as a challenge.
"I saw Red's quote in the paper, and it gave me incentive to play against
that guy," Madeley said. "I felt if I could shut them out, I could stick it to
him."
Laker coach Jeff Jackson thought his goaltender read too much into
Berenson's remarks.
"It wasn't said vindictively," Jackson said. "It was a legitimate
criticism, because he hasn't had to face a lot of shots."
Berenson regrets making those remarks and felt Madeley proved him-
self as the top goaltender in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association.
"I probably shouldn't have said that," Berenson said. "He's a good
goalie. His goal-against (average) had improved a lot and I didn't know
whether it was because he improved or their defense tightened."
RECRUITS: Michigan signed two recruits - Steven Halko, a 6-foot -
1, 185 lb. defenseman from Bolton, Ontario, and Ryan Sittler, a 6-foot-2,
195 lb. forward from Amherst, N.Y. - in the early signing period.
Berenson expects Sittler to make an immediate impact.
"He has all the ingredients," Berenson said. "He is skilled with the
puck and is a great two-way player. He's got a lot of mental toughness and
determination. I see Ryan in the same mode as his father (Hall of Famer
Darryl Sittler). He's as good a recruit as there is out there. I feel good
about hir coming to Michigan."
Sittler is a projected first-round draft pick in the upcoming NHL draft.
He also led the USA 17-and-under junior team in scoring.
Injured wrestlers
take fifth in Vegas,
by Tim Rardin

The mention of Las Vegas to
most people provokes images of
bright lights, big city, and of course,
big money. While some walk away
with monetary winnings, the 10th-
ranked Michigan wrestling team
cashed in a little differently by cap-
turing fifth place at last weekend's
Las Vegas Classic.
Led by sophomore Brian
Harper's third-place effort at 150,
the Wolverines finished behind four
teams ranked ahead of them in the
Amateur Wrestling News Top 25.
As expected, No. 1 Iowa led the way
with a final team score of 152.
Third-ranked Iowa State earned sec-
ond-place honors with a score of
132.25. No. 9 Arizona State was
next with 106.75, while No. 6 Wis-
consin captured fourth with an 89.
Michigan rounded out the top five
with a final team score of 75.75.
The Wolverines' finish came de-
spite key injuries to senior Phil
Tomek (Hwt.) and first-year
wrestler, Jesse Rawls, Jr. (167).
Tomek, who has been plagued with
health problems all season, suffered
a rib injury, while Rawls is out
with a knee injury.
Harper, who bettered last year's
sixth-place performance in Vegas,
Junior Joey Gilbert finished fifth in the 134-pound weight class at last
weekend's Las Vegas Classic. As a team, Michigan also finished fifth,
with 75.75 points, behind champion Iowa, which had 152 points.
Sophomore Brian Harper was the Wolverines' top finisher, taking third
in the 150-pound class.
captured third with a 4-3 overtime
decision over Oklahoma State's Jody
Reynolds.
Wolverine coach Dale Bahr was
pleased with Harper's performance.
"Brian wrestled great for us,"
Bahr said. "He is on the verge of
having an outstanding season."
Although happy with his own
finish, Harper felt the team could @
have done better.
"I think we could've finished in
the top three," Harper said. "With
Phil and Jesse banged up, we lost
two guys who probably would've
placed."
A quartet of juniors rounded out
the placing for Michigan. James
Rawls (142) and Sean Bormet (158)
earned fourth-place honors, while
fellow all-Americans Joey Gilbert
(134) and Lanny Green (177) both
finished fifth.
The Wolverines will not wres-
tle as ateamuntil Jan.11, when they
will host a double dual meet with
Eastern Michigan and Morgan State
at Cliff Keen Arena. However, th1e
Midlands Championships, an open
tournament to be held Dec. 28-29 in,
Evansville, will allow individual
wrestlers the opportunity to get
some work in during the winter
break.
ter break
and Wolverine coach Jim Richard-
son feels the meet should be a close
one. "We match up pretty well this
year," Richardson said.
Michigan's performance in both
meets will also depend on where
they are in the training cycle. They
will most likely fall right in the
middle of hard training, which may
have a negative effect on the Wol-
verines. The Pac-10 schools gen-
erally have a different training cycle
than the Big Ten schools. "They
tend to be concentrating on speed,0
while we will be training hard and
intensely," Richardson said.
The Wolverines are training
with the goals of making NCAA
qualifying standards in upcoming
meets and getting ready for the con-
ference championships in February.
No. 2 sprint breaststroker, Tara
Higgins (broken arm), is one of
several swimmers still question- e
able for the upcoming meets.

The holidays signify a break
from classes, but not from work for
the Michigan men's swimming
team. The hiatus offers the
Wolverines a chance to get in some
training and competitive swimming,,
which they will do on the West
Coast.
During the last week of
December, Michigan will head to
Mission Viejo, Calif., a haven for
world-class swimming during the
1960s and '70s. The Wolverines
will hold an intensive training camp
to prepare for the second half of the
season, which includes the Big Ten
Championships and the Olympic
Trials.
On Jan. 3, Michigan will face
UCLA in a dual meet in Los
Angeles. The Bruins are ranked sev-
enth in the nation, one place behind
the Wolverines.
The next day, the Maize and Blue
take on USC, currently tied for the
third-best national ranking with
Florida. The competition will take
place at the same site as the 1984
Summer Games.
Michigan coach John Urbanchek
expects that USC will prove to be a
formidable foe. "By the NCAAs, it
should be a dogfight for third,
fourth, and fifth place, with us,
USC, and Florida all right in
there," Urbanchek said.
Michigan should have an advan-
tage because it will be reassembled
at full strength. The entire team did
not compete at last weekend's
Eastern Michigan Invitational. All
team members are expected to com-
pete in the two Los Angeles meets.

The toughest work most stu-
dents would face on a trip to
California would be finding a good
seat at the Rose Bowl. Such is not
the case for the Michigan- women's
E
swimming team.
On Dec. 27, the ninth-ranked
Wolverines will travel to Long
Beach State to begin training camp.
The swimmers will train from Dec.
27 through Jan. 7. During this time
they will compete. against UCLA
Jan. 2 and USC two days later.
UCLA, ranked fifth in the coun-
try, has better times -than Michigan
in many of the events and has more
national qualifiers. Still, the Wol-
verines will pose a strong threat in
the sprints, breaststroke, back-
stroke, and distance freestyle races.
USC is currently ranked No. 8,
0.
