Page 8 -The Michigan Daily- Thursday, January 30, 1992 Spikers by Dan Linna Daily Sports Writer Only the strong can expect to survive Saturday when 30 teams; clash in the Wolverine Collegiate Classic at the CCRB. The Michigan men's volleyball team (4-1) will have two entries when pool play begins at 9 a.m. in six pools. Michigan coach Tom Johengen split the team into two squads of eight players each for the tourna- ment. One squad (Michigan Blue) is comprised of regulars. The other (Michigan Maize) is made up of re- serves. "We're not going to be able to rely on any substitutions," junior Chris Peirce said. "Everyone is go- ing to have to play 100%. "We have really high expecta- tions and I think we will do pretty well." The University of Buffalo, seeded first in its pool, is considered the favorite going into the tourna- ment. The Rhinos finished third in the Collegiate Club Nationals last year and recently returned from a California road trip where they host 30-team knocked off several of the top teams in the country. The Wolverines' Blue team will also be a top seed as will Park Col- lege, Graceland College, Michigan State, and Cornell. In addition to the top seeds, the University of Windsor is expected to field a strong team. Each pool will contain a top seed and four other teams. The top 12 teams after pool play will advance 'We have to start gelling as a team and now is the time to do -Keith Barr Michigan men's volleyball player to a single-elimination playoff. Six additional teams will participate in a consolation playoff. "It's going to be great to see the other teams in the area and see where we fit in," senior co-captain Keith Baar said. "These are the teams we will be playing in the Midwestern Championships and at the higher levels. "We have to start gelling as a team and now is the time to do it." After a drubbing by the Spartans two weeks ago, the Wolverines played nearly flawless volleyball in their defeats of Wisconsin, Iowa, and Northwestern. While Michigan overmatched those teams, it will have to bring its play to another level to compete with the top seeds. "Typically, you have to get on a roll in a tournament like this," Michigan coach Tom Johengen said. "You need to play well early and let it build as you advance. You must remain confident and consis- tent. If you can sustain that the whole day, and not get worn down, you can do well." Michigan hopes to finish in at least the top five of the tournament. To advance that far would probably mean a second meeting with Michigan State. Although the Spartans soundly defeated the Wolverines in their only meeting, team members said they are looking forward to a rematch. "I think it would be a whole lot different this time," Peirce said. Classic "We seem to play better at our own tournaments. That loss was only our second match of the year and we didn't play nearly as well as we are capable." With the finals of the tourna- ment not expected to start until 8:30 or 9:00 p.m., it will be a very long day for Michigan. "It is going to be tough for those of us who aren't exactly morning people," Baar said. "We are going to have to get up for the early games and that is probably the hardest thing to do. Once we get into the later rounds it is just inherent that you are going to be a little more ex- cited and a little more focused." It doesn't get any easier for the Wolverines. Next Saturday the team will participate in a tri-match at Wisconsin and then travel to an Sunday tri-match at Illinois. The following weekend will be much the same with a tri-match at home Saturday and a tri-match at Bowling Green Sunday."We have to play well now," Baar said. "We are still trying to get to know each other and that can't go on much longer." *I Tim Werner goes for a spike against Michigan State.

This weekend proved to be no exception when both teams captured second- place finishes. The Wolverines competed against eight teams from their divi- sion, including Michigan State, Ferris State, Central Michigan Western Michigan, Albion, UM- Flint, and Grand Valley State. The only out of state team was Notre Dame. "It's very competitive between Ferris, MSU, and us," senior captain Kevin Gietzen said. "Who skis bet- ter on what day decides who's going to win." The Bulldogs had the edge this weekend and came away with the victory in the men's -division. Michigan finished in second place, with MSU right behind in third. Matt Turner turned in an im- pressive first-place finish in the gi- ant slalom with a combined time of 52.33 seconds. Tim Sattelmeier took third place in the slalom as he raced to a time of 50.29. The men have one more chance before divisionals to capture first place at a meet involving many of the same teams this weekend. "We're going to try hard to beat Ferris," Sattelmeier said. "This weekend we had a few people crash." The Michigan women's ski team also posted a second-place finish this weekend just behind Michigan State. "It's always tight with State," junior Amy Gray explained. "Most of our competition is from State in our division." Lisa Witty was the top Wolver- ine finisher in the slalom with a sec- ond-place finish in 57.32. Kelly Copeland finished in first place in the giant slalom with a time of 56.12.
