Niyo Continued from page 7 said. "I enjoy it, and I think I'm do- ing good for the community and for the patients, because health care is a problem." Hunter has always been doing two things at once. Now that he has become entrenched in a new voca- tion, that hasn't changed. "As often as I can, you know, I'll run back and play ball with the guys or try and talk to them," Hunter says, adding that he will be back for games at Crisler Arena whenever he can find the time. He says he'll certainly be in West Lafayette and Bloomington when the Wolverines pay a visit. And when Michigan plays Notre Dame? "I'll be a big eyesore down there," Hunter said. "I'm gonna be wearin' my maize and blue all the time "Personally, it's going to be hard because it's.my first year away from it - watching the games and not participating and not being on the team," he said. "I'm just so behind ,the guys. And whatever they can do this year, I'll be rooting them on to their best." Does he have any predictions for the 1992-93 Wolverines?. "There's no stopping them," he said. "It's just a matter of being fo- cused, taking it game-by-game. "Keeping your head, and keeping the focus can be hard." He still sounds like a captain. And his old coach, Steve Fisher, was busy Sunday night with open tryouts, looking for new faces. Was he, maybe, hoping ...? "Hoping to find another Fred- die," Fisher quickly responded. Without flinching. Yes, that is ex- actly what he was trying to do. Finding another Freddie? The odds are stacked against it. Kickers fall short at Big Tens by Mike Hill Daily Sports Writer Someone forgot to tell the author this is not how the script was sup- posed to read. The Michigan women's soccer club wasn't supposed to have prob- lems at the 5th Midwest (Big Ten) Championships in Columbus. The Wolverines weren't supposed to have problems reaching the Cham- pionship finals and receiving a sec- ond straight bid to the national club soccer championships held in Austin, Texas, Nov. 29-30. But they did. The Wolverines expected their toughest challenge of the weekend would come in their opening game against Penn State. The Nittany Li- ons jumped to an early 1-0 lead, but keeper Crissy Rice and the Michigan defense kept the Lions off the score- board for the remainder of the game. Sophomore Lynda Hart took a pass from senior Jenny Steinhebel and booted a goal to knot up the contest. Steinhebel later scored the game winner on a penalty kick. "It was a really physical game and we just got the penalty at the right time," Michigan defenseman Kim Chenet said. "We were really relieved after winning this one." But the Wolverines' luck soon ran out. Michigan drew little-known Minnesota in its second game. The Wolverines didn't play the Golden Gophers during the regular season and it probably cost them. Michigan's potent offense un- characteristically had difficulty con- trolling the ball. Leading scorer Lisa Ashton scored the lone Michigan goal in a 2-1 loss. "(Minnesota) had a lot of team speed," Chenet said. "They were pretty physical. They had the ball in our end for most of the game. It was really frustrating." The Wolverines figured a victory over Purdue yesterday morning might encourage the holders of the national club championships to in- vite them to the event despite failing to reach the Big Ten finals. But those hopes were quickly diffused. Purdue came out with a ven- geance and shut out the Wolverines, 1-0, ending any hope of a national- championship berth. "I thought we dominated the game, but it just didn't happen for us," Chenet said. "Because we went so far last year, we earned a reputa- tion. And Purdue came out psyched to go against Michigan. We didn't play poorly and we played hard. The ball just didn't go our way." The disappointing weekend capped an otherwise successful 16- 7-5 campaign. The Wolverines can look forward to the upcoming indoor and spring seasons. But this short- ened season will sting for a while. Vignevic rescues stickers - twice by Sharon Lundy Daily Sports Writer The Michigan field hockey team's victory last Thursday over University of the Pacific was, as it had hoped, the start of a five-game winning streak. The Wolverines defeated both Kent State and Boston Col- lege this weekend in Ann Arbor. Michigan now has three wins under its belt in its attempt to end the season on a 5-0 run. Saturday, the Wolverines hosted Kent State, coming away with a 1-0 victory. Forward Katie Vignevic scored the only goal in the first quarter off a penalty stroke. "We made some mistakes defensively," Kalli Hose said. "And we weren't creating enough opportunities." Goalkeeper Rachael Geisthardt had ten saves in the game. Even though they were victorious, the Wolver- ines were disappointed with their performance because they were not putting all aspects of their game together. Boston College was defeated by the Wolverines, 1-0, yesterday in overtime. The highlight came when Katie Thomas passed to Vignevic, who again scored the game-winning goal. Despite the recurring low score, Michigan was much happier with yesterday's game than with Saturday's. "Everyone played 100 percent," Hose said. "But we did go in spurts as looking good as a team and just standing around." Michigan seemed to put its game together much more smoothly against Boston College. "Everyone seemed really intense and everyone con- tributed," Hose added. "You could rely on everyone and there wouldn't be any weak links. "We really wanted another shutout, and the defense played well to prevent the other team from scoring." With ten seconds left to the second half, Boston Col- lege missed a penalty stroke which could have cost the Wolverines the game. Michigan ended it when Vignevic scored 4:30 into overtime. Freddie Hunter fights for position with Iowa's Jay Webb in a game in 1991. Hunter is pursuing a career in health care. .1 1 I LOPER Continued from page 1 "I just love making the pretty play. The crowd also loves it. My coach always wants me to shoot the ball more, though. If the defenders knew anything about me "I'd be so easy to cover since I'm always looking for the pass." Loper obviously has not been ;that easy to cover considering her high standings among Michigan soccer players of past and present. Loper ranks second in the Michigan record book in assists and is among the top 10 in 'scoring. Loper employs a combination of speed and determination in her efforts to control the ball around the net. She never watches a ball roll out of bounds without sprinting to it, many times to no avail. This all out hustle reveals how the captain has tried to lead the team. "I'm just happy to see how much the team has developed," Loper said. "When I started as a freshman, we were bad. As a sophomore we had to find a coach again and then he left before this year. It was hard." This year, as president, Loper was able to take this problem into her own hands. "This year, I interviewed various coaches and finally settled on the team's assistant coach from last year," Loper said. "I wanted to find a person who would stick with us." Finding a coach was equally important as the numerous other tasks the club president must oversee in order to keep the team functioning. "Basically I'm in charge of everything," Loper said. "Hiring the coach, buying new uniforms, scheduling, advertising and recruiting." Luring top high school players to come and play for a club team which requires financial sacrifice to compete is a daunting task for a 0* recruiter, especially one who is still trying to balance schoolwork and practice into the mix. "People write to us, but they usually don't know it's a club. I also get lists of players from various select teams like in Illinois. I get in touch with these players and invite them to come to preseason tryouts," Loper said. After being recruited herself out of Northville High School by Cornell, Loper decided to stay close to home, shunning the lures of the varsity team out east. "I could have gone to Cornell, but they didn't offer enough money," Loper said. "I'm sure a lot of players look into that, but there just isn't a lot of money out there to go around." Money is a continuous concern for the club considering it gets no financial support from the athletic department or the university. Finding the money to fund the club is a constant search which leads to tension within the team. "It's frustrating. People get frustrated because it is a lot of money we have to dish off of our own," Loper said. "We have to worry about things varsity teams don't have to. I had to order uniforms and we had to buy them ourselves." As her Michigan soccer career comes to a close, Loper looks back on her time as a leader in building up the club in a positive way. Nevertheless, the future does not look bright for the club. Numerous teams in the conference are beginning to become varsity sports. "Four teams in the Big Ten are going varsity next year," Loper said. "(Varsity teams) can only have two scrimmages in their schedule that is assuming that they want us to be one of those two scrimmages. We won't have any games. We could really have problems. We might only be able to play club teams. Even Valparaiso (who fell 6-1 to Michigan this year) is going varsity and they weren't that good. We've beaten every club team we played this year. "It bothers me because I've worked so hard for the club. To see the season go well and then have the Michigan team dropped. Michigan just isn't that much of a soccer area while in other areas, soccer is real big." Loper concedes that her involvement with the game will now subside somewhat, but is by no means over. "I probably won't coach. I played on an Olympic development team in Michigan this year. I moved up to the 20 and over division; it is real hard. I'll always play, though. This summer I'll play on a select team that travels and also some summer leagues. " Shannon Loper's teammates have grown to expect nothing less than everything from her. And as someone who can stake a large claim in the development of the Michigan women's soccer program, she considers it her duty to meet these expectations again and again.
