"They were the aggressors for 40 minutes. They were relentless." Andrew nearly defeated the Hoosiers single-handedly in Friday night's 87-74 victory at Crisler, scor- ing a career-high 36 points while moving into the ninth spot on Michigan's all-time scoring list. Andrew scored most of her points on uncontested shots in the paint, com- ing off lob-assists from guard Jen Nuanes (six assists) and Wooldridge (four). It's not that Indiana didn't have defenders on Andrew -on the contrary, there were often two or three Hoosiers playing her - but the 6-foot-2 Andrew towered above her defenders, who lost between three inches (5-foot-11 Dana Creighton) and a foot (5-foot-2 Carrie Mount) to her. "It was amazing some of the passes they were giving me," the ever-modest Andrew said. "The lob pass is not a pass we would usually throw. Players are usually a little bit taller than that. I was matched-up with shorter players, but I know all my shots came from great assists." Forward Nikki Beaudry, who had 10 points and two assists, agreed, but put more emphasis on the height dif- ferential. "When (the defenders) are just sitting there, coming up to her shoulder blades, it's easy to throw those lobs," Beaudry said. Michigan finally overcame its difficulties with fullcourt pressure in the victory. The Hoosiers pressed the Wolverines into Assembly Hall's MEA TIM DAILY CLASSIFIEDS floor, 85-39, in the teams' first meetings, and looked ready to do the same at Crisler, forcing 10 first-half turnovers with a 1-2-1-1 trap. But Michigan, which still led, 36-33, at the break, adjusted in the locker room and did not turn the ball over once to Indiana's pressure in the second stanza. Indiana coach Jim Izard said the Hoosiers had to give up some of their pressing as Michigan built the second half lead to as much as 13. "Michigan forced us into more man defense in the second half," Izard said. "We forced a lot of turnovers with traps first half, but as we fell behind, we had to go to more man pressure." The biggest surprise in the Wolverines' spring break came Feb. 23 at Minnesota, when Michigan swept the season series with a 67-65 decision. The Wolverines set the tone with a game-opening 7-0 run, and trailed for only one five minute stretch in the middle of the first half. Michigan led, 32-29, at the break and never let the Golden Gophers so much as tie the score in the second stanza. Andrew powered the Wolverine frontcourt with 27 points and two blocks, while Nuanes had 13 points and a block of her own in the backcourt. "We came out of the gates strong and really played a good defensive game," VanDeWege said. Especially big on defense for Michigan was Hall, who had 10 re- bounds and held the Golden Gophers' star forward, Dana Joubert, to six points. "(Hall's performance) was as big a key to that game as anything," VanDeWege said. Two nights earlier, the Wolverines were chased out of Carver-Hawkeye Arena by Iowa, 81- 45. Michigan's last lead of the game was 4-2 with less than 1:30 elapsed in the first half and the streaking Hawks led by as much as 38 in the thrashing. It didn't help Michigan's case that Beaudry, who picked up four first-half fouls, fouled out with more than 15 minutes remaining in the game, and was soon followed by Andrew, who had three in the first half, and Hall, who lad two at the break. "It was just an extiemnely physical game," VanDeWege explained. "Our entire front line fouled out, and it was from tIb extremely physical play." Wrestlers fall twice to ranked foes by Shawn DuFresne Daily Sports Writer The sixth-ranked Michigan wrestling team dropped two close contests last weekend. No. 5 Ohio State rallied from a 17-0 deficit to win 20-19, while No. 7 Wisconsin avenged its earlier loss to the Wolverines at the team dual cham- pionships by shutting down a Michigan comeback to preserve a 19-17 victory. The Wolverines (5-21 Big Ten, 13-4-1 overall) built their lead over the Buckeyes on major decisions by Matt Stout (118 pounds) and Jason Cluff (126). An injury default at 134 gave Michigan All-American Joey Gilbert his 38th victory of the sea- son, and James Rawls (142) pre- vailed by decision in a grueling 2-1 match. The Buckeyes climbed back with a series of victories by decision, in- cluding an upset by Mike Schyck (ranked No. 11 at 158) over seventh- ranked Wolverine Sean Bormet. Michigan's Lanny Green (177) and OSU's Kevin Randleman, both All-Americans, wrestled to a draw, the second time this month that the two have ended a match in a 1-1 knot. The Buckeyes scored a techni- cal fall at 190, and heavyweight Ray Mendoza recorded two near falls with a minute remaining to take the lead in his match with Wolverine Phil Tomek. Mendoza held on and earned the necessary team points for the Buckeyes as they squeaked by Michigan by a one-point margin for the second time this season. "It's tough being ahead that much and then lose," Michigan coach Dale Bahr said. "The match was decided at 158 and 167. Had we won (at 158, the match) would have been over. Jesse (Rawls, 167) is not as strong as (OSU's Jim Scavuzzo). He was overpowered and couldn't maintain his position." In Michigan's match against Wisconsin, the Badgers leapt out to an early lead with a fall and a major decision, and never looked back. Gilbert easily scored a major de- cision over Badger Ron Pieper, and James Rawls (No. 13 at 142) upset Wisconsin's eighth-ranked Dan Spilde by decision. Bormet and Green were also victorious by deci- sion, and Tomek scored a major de- cision. But decisions at 167 and 190 by Wisconsin added to its lead and was too much for Michigan to over- come. "Now we have to regroup and get ready for the Big Ten Champion- ships," Bahr said. Michigan heads to Madison this weekend for Big Tens, which is its last competition before the national championships in Oklahoma City. - iWHAT'S pi HAPPENIN'G RECREATIONAL SPORTS Intramural Sports Program ICE HOCKEY-WINTER II (Limited to 25 Teams) Entries taken: Thursday, March 5, 1992 11:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. IMSB VOLLEYBALL Entries taken: Tuesday, March 10, 1992 11:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. IMSB CALL 763-3562 FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION _ _ ___ .
