Baseball vs. Siena Heights Today, 1:00 Fisher Stadium SPORTS Softball vs. Michigan State Today, 2:30 East Lansing ge 10 The Michigan Daily Tuesday, April 14,1992 Pa 'i' baseball looks to break even vs. Siena by Tim Rardin Daily Baseball Writer After pushing its record above the .500 barrier for the first time this season against Minnesota Saturday, the Michigan baseball team prompt- ly dropped the final three games of the series to fall to 15-17 overall, and 7-5 in the Big Ten. However, with three non-conference games this week, including today's 1 p.m. doubleheader with Siena Heights at Fisher Stadium, Michigan can again expect to return to that elusive mark. Siena Heights, an NAIA school which enters today's twinbill with an 18-23 record after playing 10 dou- bleheaders in only 11 days, has never beaten Michigan in 14 tries. Ever. Still, Saints coach Gordie Theisen treats his team's two games with the Division I Wolverines just like any other game. "It's a thrill for our players to play against a team like Michigan, but our big games are usually in our conference, just like Michigan's big games are in the Big Ten," Theisen said. "Like any competitive team, we're going into it like we do every game, with the goal of playing hard and trying to win. Playing a team like Michigan, there's definitely not going to be a motivation problem." Once again, the non-conference part of their schedule will allow the Wolverines to work on the funda- mentals of the game without the pressure of Big Ten play.

The Wolverines currently boast a 15-17 record, 7-5 in the Big Ten.

The Wolverines thrashed all three of their opponents over the weekend in Madison. The tourney sweep pushed Mich- igan's overall record to 16-6, and 12-0 in the Big Ten. Illinois, Wis- consin, and Northwestern amounted to little more than cardboard obs- tructions for Michigan's powerhouse assault. The Wolverines had an easy time with the Fighting Illini, beating them, 16-6. The host Badgers were out of their league against the Wol- verines, as Michigan won, 17-2. The Wildcats were not much of a chal- lenge either, as Michigan dealt Northwestern a 14-3 white-washing. Michigan's closest game came in its rematch with Illinois. The Wol- verines held off the Illini for a 9-8 victory. For the second straight weekend, Lori Barnard led the attack for the Wolverines. She found the net 15 times, giving her 33 goals -for the past two tournaments. Two-time All- American Candice Quinn polished off 11 goals. Jeni McNiven added seven goals. Michigan coach Scott Russell was very pleased with a goal from Kathy Rogers in the Northwestern game. The goal was significant de- spite the lopsided score, because ac- cording to Russell it was a "textbook type goal." In the second Illinois game, Christy Irish scored a key goal in the fourth quarter to make it 9-7. The score came with about a minute left to put the game out of reach. "She's got an excellent shooting arm," Russell said. Russell was not at all concerned that Michigan had a tight match with Illinois. "After you beat a team, 16-6, you want to work on some new things," Russell said. "We were never con- cerned about losing the game (the Illinois rematch). We have games that might be extensions of prac- tices; some of the things we tried worked, others didn't." In the second Illinois game, the Wolverines worked on a zone de- fense. "You work on different types of defenses so the opposition doesn't know what to expect," Russell said. 'M' crew conquers opponent, elements by Greg Richardson Daily Sports Writer The crosswind at Ford Lake tam- pered with the Michigan rowing team's times, but it did nothing to interfere with its 8-2 explosion over Michigan State. Michigan's success this past Saturday was no surprise to novice men's coach Mike Caviston. At the moment, the Wolverines are simply superior to the Spartans. "We did well against State, and, frankly, we expected too," Caviston said. The varsity men's eight was not much of a contest between the two teams. The Spartans had to put to- gether a makeshift unit which in- cluded two novice rowers, and one of the coaches, while the Michigan boat was led by captain Darryl Lan- inga. Caviston stated that the main reason there was even a race in this category was that Michigan varsity coach Will Brewster convinced State coach Steve Eyke that it was good for both teams. Look your best for Easter!! "6 Barber Stylists -No waiting Dascola Stylists opposite Jacobson's 668-9329 Eyke was critical of his program, and commented on how far behind Michigan the Spartans are. "Michigan State is years behind the development of rowing at Michigan, with a smaller pool of ath- letes who work hard on developing fours into varsity level," Eyke said. The Michigan varsity heavy- weight does not usually row fours. Because they only had one race with State in this category, Brewster de- cided to have his crew race a piece all by itself. In the lightweight men's varsity fours Michigan took first and second among the four boats, with the Wolverines pulling out a neck and neck finish over the Spartans for second. The Michigan women's varsity eight pulled out a strong showing, by taking first and second place in that event. The only races that Michigan lost were the novice women's B eight and the varsity women's four. I CA' 77 PSI CHI THE PSYCHOLOGY HONORS SOCIETY PRESENTS A FREE FILM SHOWING I 1
