Wrestlers win three;
ready for Penn State

by Michael Rosenberg
Daily Sports Writer
The 12th-ranked Michigan
wrestling team opened its season
with three wins Saturday. Wolverine
opponents Morgan State,. Ferris
State, and Lehigh lost by a combined
80 points.
However, Michigan's Sean
Bormet, currently ranked second in
the country at 167 pounds, was not
pleased with the victory.
"We need to improve in a couple
of weight classes," Bormet said. "I
think some guys let their guard
down today."
On the plus side, heavyweight
Steve King, a transfer from Notre
Dame, was impressive in his Michi-
gan debut. King recorded falls in the
first round of all three of his
matches.
In the Lehigh match, King
pinned Jon Rose faster than even he
thought he could.
"I was trying to set up another
move because he was kind of tall,",
said King. "I didn't think I would be
able to use the headlock."
Michigancoach Dale Bahr was
duly impressed with his new heavy-
weight.
"Last year, with (former Michi-
gan heavyweight Phil) Tomek, we
would usually win, but King is dif-
ferent," Bahr said. "He likes to put
points up on the board. That's going
to help us down the road."'
The first stop on that road is Penn
State, which visits Ann Arbor Satur-
day. The Nittany Lions are ranked
second in the country, and last
month they tied top-ranked Iowa,
which has won 19 straight Big Ten
crowns.

"Everybody's looking forward to
wrestling Penn State," said captain
Lanny Green (177), who won all
three of his matches easily Saturday.
"I think if everybody wrestles up to
their ability, we have a real good
shot of beating them."
"It will be very competitive,"
Bormet said. "We can definitely beat
them. They beat us by one point last
year, and I think we're better this
year. We've got a lot of great kids
on our team."
'They're ranked
second in the country.
What are we ranked
now, 12 or something?
We'll move way up
when we beat them.'
- Steve King
Bahr mentioned the need for
some of the lower weight classes to
improve in order to compete with
top teams such as Penn State.
"If we can be competitive
through the first four weight classes,
I think we've got six or seven guys
(in higher weight classes) who can
consistently win," Bahr said. "I'm
hoping that the younger kids will
continue to improve, so that by the
Big Ten championships, we have a
guy in every weight class who can
win consistently."
King expressed confidence in his
team's ability to match up with Penn
State.
"They're ranked second in the
country," King said. "What are we
ranked now, 12 or something? We'll
move way up when we beat them."

Late rally
dooms Blue
vs. Indiana
by Rich Mitvalsky
Daily Basketball Writer
After trailing most of the
game, the Indiana Hoosiers came
back to defeat Michigan, 65-61,
in a Big Ten women's basketball
contest Friday night.
Wolverine fans dotted Crisler
Arena to watch an overmatched
Michigan squad control the
tempo against the undefeated
Hoosiers for more than thirty
minutes before Indiana solved
the unfamiliar Wol-verine zone
defense.
"We really didn't execute in
the first half, but also we had
never seen Michigan in a zone
defense," Indiana coach Jim
Izard said.
With 11 minutes remaining in
the game, Michigan sophomore
Shimmy Gray knotted the score
at 40 with a pair of jumpers. Be-
hind three three-point baskets by
Hoosier Lisa Furlin, and two
Shirley Bryant breakaway hoops,
Indiana reeled off 13aconsecutive
points in just over three minutes
to lead, 53-40.
Senior point guard Stacy Mc-
Call then banked home a driving
basket which initiated a strong
Wolverine run. Michigan closed
to 57-53 before the Hoosiers ex-
ploded again, going up 62-55
with a minute to go.
Although Michigan lost it's
fifth straight conference game,
coach Trish Roberts was far from
dismayed.
"I was very pleased, even
though we lost the game, because
we made a great deal of
progress," Roberts said. "I think
we just took them out of their
game with the (1-2-2) zone."
Defensively, Michigan play-
ers hounded the ball up-front
with two or three jerseys, and
successfully closed off the pass-
ing lanes inside through crisp
switch-offs.
Twice in the first half, and
once in the second, Michigan's
pressure defense harassed Indi-
ana into shot-clock violations.
The fact the Wolverines have
added personnel - some injuries
have healed - near the hoop to
accompany all-Big Ten center
Trish Andrew also has Roberts
pleased. Historically, Andrew,
Michigan's go-to person, has col-
lected fouls early and often.
Against Indiana, Andrew did not
experience foul trouble.

PURDUE
Continued from page9
Wolverines, scoring 34 points on 11
of 21 shooting.
On the offensive side, Purdue
used a well-balanced attack to bun
the Michigan defense for 99 points.
When the Boilermakers had the
oppurtunity to run, they ran, convert-
ing defensive rebounds into lay-ups
on the fast-break. And when the
transition buckets weren't there, the
Boilermakers went into their half-
court offense, scoring from in the
paint as well as from the outside.
Leading the Purdue assault from
the perimeter was guard Jennifer Ja-
coby. The 5-7 sophomore hit on 6 of
7 three-point attempts accounting for
all of her team-high 18 points. As a
team, Purdue sizzled from three-
point range, making 10 of 15 on the
night.
"It was a major weapon," Dunn
said of her team's three point shoot-
ing. "She (Jacoby) just happened to
be in one of those grooves where
things are clicking."
While the three-point shots hurt
Michigan on the scoreboard, it also
extended the Wolverine defense to
the perimeter. This allowed the
Boilermakers to exploit the lane,
leading to short jumpers for the Pur-
due forwards and guards.
"With the three-point shot, we
use it to open up our inside game."
Dunn said.
While Andrew did her best to foil
the Boilermakers inside with five
blocked shots, the Wolverines were
hurt by the loss of forward Nikki
Beaudry in the first-half to a
sprained ankle. Roberts said
Beaudry should return for Wednes-
day's game against Michigan State.

The Andrew sisters showed up to
play Friday night.
Not the 1940s, khaki-clad singing
trio which shimmied and saluted to
"Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." I'm
talking about the Andrew sisters
who dazzled the 638-plus crowd at
Crisler Arena Friday with their ath-
letic prowess.
OK, technically there is only one
Andrew on the Michigan women's
basketball team: senior center Trish
Andrew. The nightly numbers she
produces, however, would be im-
pressive even if shared among a trio
of players.
But it was not a trio, or even a
dynamic duo that scored 34 points
Sunday against Purdue and snagged
18 rebounds against Indiana. It was
one person.
"I harp on the fact all the time
that Andrew is the only one who can
consistently score for us," says
Michigan head coach Trish Roberts.
When the prep All-American se-
lection committed to Michigan in
1989, she knew she would be called

upon to play the post, called upon to
get rebounds, and especially called
upon to score. Recently, though, the
phone has been ringing off the hook.
Andrew's baskets and rebounds
counted for almost half of the team's
totals against Indiana, and: she
scored more than half of Michigan's
points against Purdue.
In one sequence against Indiana,
she sank two free throws, loped
down court to grab a defensive
board, then returned to her own
hoop within 30 seconds for a back-
door bucket.
For number 45, it's all in a
night's work.
Another area in which Andrew
dominates is blocked shots. She
swatted three Hoosier tries Friday
and blocked five Boilermaker shots
Sunday, bolstering her Big 10 lead
in that category. Offensively and de-
fensively, she is an uiparalleled
force under the rim.
The Wolverines learned in the
second half of the Indiana game
what happens when your only "big
gun" jams.
With nearly 12 minutes left to

play, Andrew went cold, receiving
her first foul and going scoreless for
over six minutes. When her drought
ended with a three-point play, the
team regained its composure and
made a final run.
' If Michigan is to win consistently
- or win at all - other players
have to step up. They must do so
alongside, not instead of, Andrew.
The Indiana game showed the
beginnings of such a transition.
Nikki Beaudry and Jennifer
Brzezinski helped out at the post.
Shimmy Gray and Carrie Stewart
contributed outside shooting and a
three-point threat. And Stacie Mc-
Call single-handedly took control of
the lane. The result was a near upset
of an undefeated team.
Still, without Andrew the
Wolverines are like "Late Night"
without David Letterman.
If success is in Michigan's future,
it will not come because Trish An-
drew steals the show. Success will
result from the increased contribu-
tions of the rest of the team.
Then, the Andrew sisters can stay
where they belong: in the jukebox.

Hobbled men gymnasts
falter against Minnesota

by Scott Burton
Daily Sports Writer
Imagine the Chicago Bulls with-
out all-stars Michael Jordan and
Scottie Pippen. It still might be a
competitive team, but it would def-
initely miss their stars.
It was the same thing for the
Michigan men's gymnastics team
Saturday against Minnesota without
all-Americans Royce Toni and Brian
Winkler. As the two standouts sat
out with injuries, the Wolverines fell
to the Golden Gophers, 271.10-
256.95.
"It was an excellent meet for both
teams, but we had a few holes in our
lineup with Brian and Royce out,"
Michigan coach Bob Dardin said.
"It's tough having two 57 (point)
all-arounders out of the lineup,"
Dardin said. "Only one person in
this meet, John Roethlisberger (of
Minnesota), scored a 57, so that tells
you what kind of athletes are recu-
perating and recovering on our
bench."

Michigan called on some of its
more inexperienced gymnasts to
pick up the slack. Freshman Chris
Onuska was one of them, and he re-
sponded with a team high 9.3 on the
pommel horse and was one of the
top-five finishers for the Wolverines
in the rings, high bar, and parallel
bars.
Seth Rubin led Michigan in over-
all score with a 49.50, including the
team-high on the high bar (8.90).
Ben Verrall was the team leader on
the horse (9.0) and the uneven bars
(8.70), and Raul Molina led the
Wolverines in the floor exercise
(9.3).
"Basically, team-wise, we trained
real hard for the last two weeks, and
we knew we would be a little rough
going in," Dardin said.
"We hoped the adrenaline would
kick in and we would score a little
higher. That didn't happen. We are a
little disappointed but now we have
a good base to start from to do some
training."
