Defense is the calling card of Jeff Jackson's Lakers
(15-3-2, 17-4-2), who have yielded a conference-low 43
goals, 19 fewer than second-best Michigan.
"They always have an outstanding goalie and a
trong defense," Michigan coach Red Berenson said.
"That's the strength of their program.
This season's outstanding netminder is all-Ameri-
can Darrin Madeley, who with a 2.03 goals against av-
erage, is the stingiest goalie in the NCAA.
The Wolverines haven't been defensive slouches
themselves, evidenced by six one-goal performances
this year. Despite the key role he will play, goalie Steve
Shields doesn't feel any pressure.
"It's not going to come down to one guy carrying
the whole team," he said. "It's going to come down to
*the everyone playing their part."
A subplot to the offense-defense matchup will be
streaks. The game will feature more of them than a
nudist camp. Michigan has not lost in 19 regular season
games at Yost, and owns a mini-streak of three straight
victories. The Lakers ride into town unbeaten in seven
contests. Perhaps more importantly, Lake State hasn't
lost in Yost in 12 ganes, its last loss coming in the
'83-'84 season.
That Laker dominance stokes the fires in the hearts
of seniors Felsner, Doug Evans, Ted Kramer, Mike

It's a big deal for plenty of other people, too.

Keen on victor
Women gymnasts ready for Iowa
by Joshua Marlow
The Michigan women's gymnastics team seeks its fourth consecutive
victory tonight, when it takes on Iowa at Keen Arena at 7 p.m.
As it is their home opener, the Wolverines (1-0 in the Big Ten, 3-0
overall) are especially enthused for this match. Michigan will compete
with many gymnasts nursing injuries, which Michigan coach Bev Fry has
tried to keep her team from worrying about.
"I don't want to dwell on the injuries, I want to focus on the positive
aspects," Fry said. "This is a big meet for us tonight. The girls are ready,
they're prepared, and we're fielding a strong team."
Team morale remains very high because of Fry's efforts and Michi-
gan's 3-0 start, which the Wolverines achieved without the services of
many of its veterans.
Rookie Beth Wyimer has paced the team with record-setting perfor-
mances at Pittsburgh and Ohio State. The Wolverines' victory over the
Buckeyes in Columbus has also been a big boost for the squad.
Because of good showings like these, on both team and individual lev-
els, Michigan has developed confidence and mental toughness.
"Everybody's doing wonderful," Fry said. "The girls are still
healthy and competitive, and are very focused and together."
Michigan has already equaled its highest point total of last year with
its score of 187.2 against Ohio State, just eight-tenths of a point shy of a
team record.
"We are going to go out and give Iowa a run for their money," Fry
said. "I wouldn't be surprised if some records were broken."
Led by Laurie Cole, Sandy Stengel, and Meredith Chang, a transfer
from Wisconsin, Iowa, last year's Big Ten runner-up, enters the match
with a 4-4 record.
Men hope to end winless tumble
by Eric Sklar
Daily Sports Writer
The Michigan men's gymnastics team will have two chances to win
its first meet of the season this weekend. It hosts Iowa State tonight at
Keen Arena and travels to East Lansing for the Michigan State Invita-
tional tomorrow.
"These are two big, important meets for us," Wolverine coach Bob
Darden said.
This will be the Wolverines' second meeting with the Cyclones, hav-
ing finished ahead of them at the Windy City Invitational a few weeks
ago. However, Darden realizes that past competition is not necessarily a
good indication of what to expect tonight.
"Things have changed since then," he said. "We're both moving in the
right direction, it's just a matter of who's moving faster."
Rookie Brian Winkler feels the team will pick up its own pace this
weekend.
"The past three meets we haven't competed up to our level," Winkler
said. "But we had good practices this week and hopefully we can score in
the 270s."
Michigan faced the Spartans last weekend at Illinois, where the Spar-
tans scored 275.25 points to Michigan's 265.2.
"They've been doing exceptionally well," Darden said. "They should
be a dominant team, both in the Big Ten and nationally.
"We would like to be able to put it together and say that we gave
Michigan State a run."
Darden isn't concerned about the lack of rest between the two meets.
"We had our best competitions last year when we had three meets in
four days, but guys really rose to the occasion," he said.
