Page 10-The Michigan Daily- Wednesday, March 11, 1992 [ YN EBOOK ICers prepare to repeat by Josh Dubow Daily Hockey Writer Yesterday, the Michigan hockey team continued its preparations for this weekend's opening-round play- off series against Ohio State. Michigan coach Red Berenson is hoping his squad will get back on track after last weekend's break. The last time the Wolverines had a week off, they followed it with consecu- tive losses at Lake Superior. Berenson is also worried about the prospect of playing Ohio State this weekend. After viewing the tapes of the four victories against the Buckeyes this season, Berenson realized how closely the squads are matched. "When you see the games, you realize how well Ohio State played," Berenson said. "When the games were on the line, the puck went in for us and not for them. "In one game (Jan. 25 at Yost), we were up 4-1 after the first period, but were totally outplayed." The two schools also met in last year's first round at Yost with Michigan sweeping the series, 5-4, and, 9-4. However, in the 9-4 clincher, the Buckeyes battled back from a 4-0 deficit to tie the score be- fore the Wolverines triumphed with five unanswered goals. SHORTHANDED: Berenson's squad was once again not at full strength. Exams have hit the Wol- verines this week - senior forward Ted Kramer missed yesterday's practice because of an exam and Mark Ouimet and Mike Helber missed most of Monday's practice. Also, walk-on Vaclav Nedoman- sky has quit the team because he has not been happy with his limited playing role. IN THE POLLS: Michigan re- mained in the third spot in the nation in all four major polls - NCAA Selection, Albany Times Union, WMPL and Hockey USA. Maine is ranked No. 1 and Minnesota follows. In the NCAA poll, the Wolverines are followed by fellow CCHA teams Lake Superior and Michigan State, respectively.

"She is going to be an All-America," Fry said. "Her execution and dedication are phenomenal." But Wymer's abilities represent a much larger asset for Michigan. "(Wymer) will do wonders for our recruiting of other athletes," coach Fry said. "It's been a 180-degree turnaround. Three seasons ago we were last and now we are contending for the Big Tens. The kids are now call- ing us." Wymer's decision to attend Michigan was easy. "I was definitely attracted to the academics, but when I saw the unity of team, and how I got along with the team right away, I knew (Michigan) was the best of everything," she said. "I came home and called Utah and told them I wasn't coming to visit." Now Wymer has made up her mind about what she expects the team to accomplish this season. "We hope to take Big Tens, go to regionals, and qualify for nationals," she said.
