Rolston's goal gives
Lakers championship

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - With
just a quick flick of Brian Rolston's
wrist, Duane's world crumbled Sat-
urday night.
Rolston snapped a 3-3 tie with
4:52 remaining against Duane Der-
ksen, fooling Wisconsin's record-
setting goaltender and lifting Lake
Superior State to a 5-3 victory over
the Badgers for the NCAA Division
I hockey championship.
Rolston walked out from behind
the Wisconsin net and flicked a shot
past Derksen before he could react.
"I just came around and was
looking for my linemates, and their
goalie looked like he was playing the
pass, so I just put it by him," Rolston
said.
He was right.
"I thought he would wrap it
around or dish it across, and I was
going to try to stuff him," said
Derksen, who was trying for his 80th
career victory. "I was up and I
should have been down. It didn't
work out that way."
Lake Superior (30-9-4) rallied
from a 2-0 first-period deficit, foil-
ing the Badgers' drive for a sixth
national title. The game featured 19
power plays, 11 for the Lakers.
When it was over Wisconsin (27-14-
2) badgered the game officials ve-
hemently, especially referee Tim
McConaghy.
"He dictated the game, not the
outcome necessarily, but the flow
and everything else," said Wisconsin
center Doug Macdonald, who re-

ceived a minor penalty and miscon-
duct in the second period, giving the
Lakers a crucial advantage.
"We felt in control, all of a sud-
den I'm sitting for 12 minutes. Then
it's 5-on-3 after 5-on-3. This is a
championship game, you don't see
that at any level."
The Lakers were quick to take
advantage of the opportunity. It only
took Paul Constantin 15 seconds to
score his 21st goal of the season and
sixth in three playoff games.
Wisconsin still led 2-1, but the
Badgers were reeling.
"They really had the pressure on.
We killed penalties for so long in the
second period," Wisconsin coach
Jeff Sauer said. "It was just a hard-
fought game between two great
teams. When we were down five
players to three, it was tough to
come back."
Lake Superior evened the score
with just six seconds left in the sec-
ond period. Defenseman Tim Hanley
scored his third goal of the season
when his slap shot from the right
point deflected past Derksen and
high into the net.
Defenseman Michael Smith gave
the Lakers their first lead 4:16 into
the third period with another power-
play goal, and Jay Ness added an
empty-netter with two seconds re-
maining to seal the Lakers' second
national title in five years. They de-
feated St. Lawrence 4-3 in overtime
in 1988eat Lake Placid to win their
first title.

Kalamazoo last October. But a
grueling three hour, 1-6, 7-5, 7-6,
victory in front of her hometown
fans made the loss a distant memory.
"Kalei just played a great match,"
coach Bitsy Ritt said. "It was a nice
win for her since she had lost a
three-setter to Leone earlier and also
because she had thought about
attending Michigan State."
The victory completed an 8-1
pasting of the Spartans (2-5 Big Ten,
8-8 overall). The Wolverines (4-3, 9-
7) also defeated Western Michigan
(8-6) 6-3 Saturday afternoon.
Jaimie Fielding continued to im-
press at No. 3 singles in her rookie
season by coming back from a set
down to upend the Broncos' Shan-
non Condon, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6. Senior

Amy Malik knocked off Cindy Tur-
ner, 7-6, 6-3, at the No. 5 position.
Beamon had a slightly easier
time. She didn't give up a game in
her two-set triumph.
The Wolverine's extra work in.
doubles seemed to have paid off
against Western. The No. 1 com-
bination of Kim Pratt and Fielding
defeated the Broncos, 6-0, 7-6. And
the No. 3 team of Freddy Adam and
Malik took home a three-set victory.
Michigan's only loss to the Spar-
tans came at the No. 2 doubles pos-
ition. Co-captain Malik hopes the
victories will help bring back some
of the team's confidence that was
lost in last weekend's 8-1 loss to
Illinois.
"It's a nice change of pace," she

said. "I think things are looking
good now. (The victories) will give
us a lot of confidence going into
next weekend's matches against
Iowa and Minnesota. Those will be
really important matches, like all Big
Ten matches are."
Though pleased with the per-
formance, Ritt still is not convinced
her team has made a turnaround.
"The team played well and the
players fought hard," Ritt said. "But
neither Western or Michigan State is
the caliber team that Illinois is. So
it's hard to say whether we have
improved that much from last week.
But still, we should gain confidence
from these matches and the players
should feel good about this
weekend."
