One of Michigan's key players,
senior outside hitter JoAnna Collias,
was part of Wolverine coach Greg
Giovanazzi's new game rotation strat-
egy.
"Collias is very good as the seventh
person," Giovanazzi said. "She is able
to fill in the hole ... we bring her in
when we get into trouble."
As far as the Stanford confronta-
tion went, Giovanazzi knew what to
expect.
"I expected them to be as good as
they are," Giovanazzi said. "We
brought Stanford in to give our players
avision of where we want our program
to be in a few years."
Regarding Michigan's team per-
formance, Giovanazzi was a little dis-
appointed.
"I think we really looked lost in the
first few games," Giovanazzi said. "It
was anew experience for us. Once (our
players) got comfortable, they were
morecompetitive, as in thethirdgame."

Shaw had positive comments about
Michigan's program as well.
'They served pretty well. Their pro-

Giovanazzi explained the outcome
as a combination of nervousness and
inexperience.
"We had three first-year players

got a little more comfortable as the

A fresh start wasjust what the Michi-
gan field hockey team got in its Labor
Day weekend sweep of Kent State and
Miami (Ohio) by 3-1 scores each day.
Michigan's efforts in its weekend
trip to Ohio were aided by new faces in
new places. Three freshmen, Bree Derr,
Michelle Smulders and Renee Leboe,
all contributed during theirplaying time.
"The freshmen came in ready to
play," senior co-captain Keely Libby
said. "They just had to learn how we
play."
Another new look for the team came
with the changing of positions for two
returning players - senior Lelli Hose
and junior Nancy Irvine. Both adjusted
quickly to their new roles.
"Lelli Hose was on defense and
moved to sweeper. She had a great

weekend," Libby said.
Mary Dembro, Michigan's assistant
coach, likes the way Irvine has adjusted
to her new center midfield spot.
"Nancy is doing a great job of dis-
tributing the ball," Dembro said.
Defensive effort was the key in the
back-to-back victories. The Redskins
and Golden Flashes managed only 13
shots during the weekend.
"Miami only had six shots on goal,"
Dembro said. "We were disappointed
they scored a goal at all. They came
down on an attack and scored."
Libby, a defender, paced the team in
scoring as she tallied three goals over
the two games.
Libby's tip-in ofa penalty cornerput
the Wolverines in the lead early against
Kent State. After the Flashes tied the
score in the second half, senior Kalli
Hose scored on apenalty shot. Forward
Gia Biagi put the game away with her
tip-in.
Sunday, in Oxford, the Wolverines
scored late in the first half, and never
looked back. Once again, Libby com-
menced the scoring, getting a goal off a
penalty corner. Co-captain forward Shay
Perry scored the second Michigan goal
early in the second half. Libby scored
once more before Miami managed its
lone goal.
'We ran our set plays well," Libby
and Miami) last year and We beat them
last year," Dembro said. "But we domi-
nated them more than we did last year.
'We expect a much more successful
season," Dembro said. "The players do
too, which is more important.
"I definitely think we have a lot
more potential than last year," Libby
said. "A lot of the bench players could
be starting. There just aren't enough
spaces on the field."
. This week the Wolverines travel to
Boston for three games. Thursday,
Michigan takes on Springfield while
Saturday's opponent-is Northeastern.
The Wolverines complete their venture
to Beantown with a Sunday encounter
against Boston College.
"They are going to be better compe-
tition," Dembro said. "We've played
Springfield and BC in the last couple
years and we beat them in close com-
petitive games.
"Our game plan is to keep the game
as basic as possible. We're just going to
try and pass the ball around and not try
to do a lot of individual, one-on-one
moves."
