Blue stickers shutout CMU, 5-0
by Brett Johnson
The Michigan field hockey team
traveled to Central Michigan yester-
day and came home in a very
"pleasant" mood. Led by an over-
powering offense and a stellar de-
fense, the Wolverines shutout the
Chippewas, 5-0, in Mt. Pleasant.
Michigan improved its record to 3-1
while CMU dropped to 0-3.
Prior to the game, Michigan
coach Patti Smith said, "Offensively,
we need to take a lot of shots and at-
tack the ball, and defensively we
need to shut them down by being
aggressive."
The team seemed to take this to
heart, as it completely dominated the
game from start to finish.
Michigan got off to a quick start
as senior Katie Vignevic scored an
unassisted goal with 30:49 remain-
ing in the first half. The Wolverines
continued to rocket shots at
Central's starting goalie, Becky
Engart, and drew blood a second
time with 4:23 left in the half. This
tine it was senior co-captain Katie
Thomas who scored the unassisted
goal from inside the circle. Michigan
finished the half with 23 shots, in-
cluding 12 from inside the circle.
Defensively, the Wolverines
were just as good as they were on
offense, and the beneficiaries were
the two goalies, Nicole Hoover and
Rachael Geisthardt. The defense al-
lowed only five shots in the first pe-
riod and the Michigan goalies had to
make only three saves.
However, a 2-0 lead was not
enough for the Wolverines. Central
Michigan's new goalie Cate Clark
was greeted with 25 more shots in
the second half. Although she made
13 saves, three more balls reached
the net.
Thomas scored her second goal
of the game with 13:44 remaining,
increasing the score to 3-0. With
5:18 left, Kalli Hose and Mary Beth
Bird assisted on a goal by Jennifer
Lupinski to make the score 4-0, and
the scoring was finished out as Bird
found Hose with only 24 seconds
left.
As well as the offense played in
the second period, the defense was
even better. Its aggressive play com-
pletely shut down the Chippewas of-
fense allowing no shots or penalty
corners.
The Wolverines now focus on the
beginning of the Big Ten season, as
they travel to Columbus this week-
end to take on Michigan State and
Ohio State.

Continued from page 1
Horrigan and Lorenzen had standout
performances. All three reached
double figures in kills and they had a
combined .274 hitting percentage
(kills-errors/total attempts).
Setter Tarnisha Thompson also
had a solid game, leading her team
with 20 sets. Karen Jacobsen added
three sets and led the team with 10
digs.
Earlier action in the Conference
Challenge proved not as challenging
for the Wolverines as they routed
both Maryland and Miami (Ohio).
Aimee Smith and Horrigan belted
nine kills each in Michigan's 15-4,
15-8, 15-11 defeat of Miami Friday.
Joanna Collias added seven kills and
sparked the team's offensive effort
with two service aces.
The Wolverines had to overcome
a more feisty opponent in their 15-7,
10-15, 15-9, 15-12 win over Mary-
land Saturday morning. The game
featured a incredible offensive out-
burst by Horrigan, who smacked 24
kills and had a .316 hitting per-
centage.
Smith complimented Horrigan' s
effort with 15 kills of her own
against only one error. Both Smith
and Horrigan owe much of their suc-
cess to the setting skills of Thomp-
son, who provided a total of 55 sets
to her team's front line.
This game was an excellent
demonstration of the improved sta-
bility over last year's team. They
were able to bounce back after los-
ing the second set and quickly regain
the momentum of the match. This
was something the team could not do
last year. When they fell behind or
lost a set, their game dropped a
level.
The improvement in this area can
definitively be attributed to the Wol-
verines' new coach, Greg Giova-
nazzi. A former assistant to the
women's U.S. National Team, he
has brought consistency and confi-
dence to the team.
"We are a lot more secure with
the coach," Lorenzen said. "We
don't break down anymore. And
were executing some plays we never
have been able to do before."
Last weekend's competition
should prove useful in preparing
Michigan for the upcoming Big Ten
season. Although the competition
should be tough, the Wolverines
have one thing in mind as the season
begins with a home game against
Indiana on Sept. 25.
"I want the Big Ten champi-
onship. We want the Big Ten cham-
pionship," Lorenzen said.

The Villanova Wildcats, chasing
their fourth consecutive NCAA title,
ran equal to their reputation this
weekend, dominating the Indiana
Cross Country Invitational in
Bloomington. The eighth-ranked
Michigan women's cross country
team, by means of a second-place
finish, bested Big Ten rival Penn
State and declared itself a legitimate
conference contender.
The story of the meet, however,
was the Villanova squad which
placed five runners in the top six po-
sitions. Only Colorado junior
Brooke Baugman prevented a top-
five sweep. Wildcat senior Nenna
Lynch claimed victory over the five-
kilometer course, finishing in
16:53.5 and nearly breaking the
course record.
"Villanova is the top team
clearly, and no one is going to touch
them," Wolverine Karen Harvey
said. "We did not expect to beat
them, and we got a couple of good
runs in there."
However, carried by sophomore
Harvey's seventh-place finish
(17:47.3), senior Amy Bucholz's
eight-place finish (17:47.9) and a
plethora of runners between the 10th
and 28th places, the Wolverines fin-
ished atop all other Big Ten squads,
a task they desperately wanted to ac-
complish.
After failing to defeat Penn State
one year ago at the Big Ten
Championships, the Wolverines
avenged their loss by means of a
slender 11-point advantage over the
Nittany Lions.
"Everyone felt that they should
show Mike (first-year head coach
Mike McGuire) right off the bat that
we could run well and beat Penn
State," Harvey said. "We had a team
meeting the night before the meet
and talked about it."
In addition to Harvey and
Buchholz's strong performances,
other top Wolverine runners in-
cluded junior Chris Szabo (10th
place) and redshirt frosh Courtney
Babcock (12th).
Despite finishing 38 points back
of the Wildcats, the Wolverines ac-
complished some additional goals.
"I think we proved to ourselves
that we are definitely worth our
ranking right now, and that we can
run with teams like Villanova and
Penn State," Szabo said. "Although
(Villanova) placed five out of the top
six, their bottom three out of that
group were within reach of our top
two or three runners.
"The national championship
course is here at Indiana, so it was
good that we got to run this course.
We will have that experience from
running in this meet."
Notes of interest included Molly
McClimon's progress on the come-
back trail. After sitting out the entire
last season due to injury, McClimon,
a returning all-American, raced to a
19th-place finish overall.
"I was pleased with my finish,
and the team's finish as well,"
McClimon said. "We all came in
pretty tight as a pack, and we were
very happy to come in second to
Villanova."
Other Wolverines competing in-
cluded rookie Katy Hollbachcr who
finished 22nd in 18:22.4, sophomore
Kelly Chard (26th), and rookies
Molly Lori and Amy Parker, who
claimed 27th and 28th respectively.
"As long as we have no big in-
juries right now, we can come out of
this in second and go for the
Badgers," Harvey added.
Harvey was referring to defend-
ing Big Ten champion Wisconsin, a
team the Wolverines are most anx-
ious to race. To many Michigan run-
ners, the Badgers seem to be avoid-
ing competition against Big Ten
schools in an effort to elude expo-
sure.
