Colgate at Penn Tiebreaker: Total points: Houston at Michigan: Name: Phone: " 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. VOLLEYBALL 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. - 'I Runners place second at Indiana You can rely on Kaplan LSAT prep.

Ignore the faint scent of mildew. by Rich Mitvalsky Daily Sports Writer 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. - Craig L. Price contributed to this story.
