Page 8-The Michigan Daily -Sports Monday - March 30,1992 Softball goes three for eight Women's water polo splits at home tourney by Shawn DuFresne Daily Sports Writer Although the Michigan softball team struggled to keep its goal of building an early lead in their games this weekend, it came away with three victories supported by strong pitching, while dropping five at the National Invitational Softball Tour- nament in Sunnyvale, Calif. UCLA won the tournament with a 14-2 trouncing of Kansas. The Wolverines lost in the consolation championship to Sacramento State (24-13) in a pitcher's duel, 1-0. It was the second time this weekend that Michigan dropped a game to SSU by a 1-0 score. SSU's Amy Day (15-9) shut out the Wolverines for the second consecutive time this weekend, giving up six hits, including a double by junior Kari Kunnen, who was named to the All-Tournament team. Michigan sophomore pitcher Julie Clarkson suffered her fifth loss of the season against three victories. The game was scoreless until SSU scored in the last inning. The Wolverines (12-12) made it to the consolation championship by capturing a victory over Oklahoma (24-10), 1-0. In another pitcher's duel, Michigan frosh Kelly Kovach earned the victory by pitching a solid 2-hitter while striking out nine Sooners along the way. Frosh Michelle Silver scored the decisive run in the last inning. Saturday night, sophomore Julie Clarkson, Michigan's rookie of the year last season, pitched her first shutout of the season as the Wolver- ines beat Nebraska, 3-0. The Wover- ines scored two runs in the first in- ning as senior Stacey Heams singled in Kari Kunnen, and scored herself when her Kunnen's sister Karla was safe on an error. In the third inning Michigan added another run when Karla singled in junior Patti Bene- dict. In the Wolverines' 1-0 loss in their first game with Sacramento State, they were held to two hits by SSU's Day. But it was a misconcep- tion of Michigan's ability, as illus- trated in its previous game, as they snuffed out the fuse of the Toledo Rockets, 8-3, with the help of Toledo shortstop Lydia Keresztesi, who committed three errors. Senior Sue Sieler and Silver each had two hits for the Wolverines. Michigan dropped its first three games of the weekend as its oppo- Kunnen nents in two of the games scored early. Hawaii and No. 3 California jumped out early en route to 8-1 and 5-4 victories, respectively. Sand- wiched in between these contests was a 4-3 loss to Creighton. by Greg Richardson Daily Sports Writer The Michigan women's water polo team concluded a satisfactory weekend in its first home tourna- ment ever. The Wolverines defeated two teams they were supposed to, but the top two clubs in the tourney had too much to handle for them. Michigan opened play by smok- ing Wisconsin, 11-2. Lori Barnard and Becky Luebke led the attack with four and three goals, respec- tively. Michigan's other Big Ten op- ponent was alsoteasy pickings as the Wolverines netted an 8-4 victory over Illinois. Problems arose in the Wolver- ines' match with Slippery Rock, the number one team in the nation. Michigan was whipped by the Rockets,15-4, in a rematch of a game earlier this season. In the third place game, Michigan lost, 7-5, to McMaster, a Canadian team. The Wolverines 3-1 run in the fourth quarter was too little too late. The two losses in the home tour- nament did not do anything to change Michigan coach Scott Russell's mind that the Wolverines have the best team in the Big Ten. "I expect us to go to nationals this year," Russell said. "Nothing has changed our standing as the best team in the Midwest." Michigan assistant Bruce Murden also had positive things to say regarding his team. "Since last week we've been im- proving our team play," he said. "Some of our players have caught fire this week, and are playing in- spiring offense and defense." Murden said he feels the play of Jenny McNiven, Candice Quinn, Luebke, and goalie Karen Gorny is brilliant. "Jenny has been outhustling opponents, and sparking the offense," Murden said. "She's our most improved player this year so far." Russell said he was far from sat- isfied with the victory over Illinois. His only comment about his defense ' was that it was "adequate." The 15-4 thrashing by Slippery Rock did not have Russell con- cerned. He pointed out that his team played fairly well after falling be- hind, 6-0, after the first quarter. "We started off tentative, but finished off strong," Russell said. U I - I L ; . ANN ARbOR &2 5Th AVE.
