Women bound for Arizona By BOB ABRAMSON DAILY SPORTS WRITER Forgive the Michigan women's soccer team for letting its emotions run wild. The Wolverines (22-2) qualified for nationals in Phoenix, Ariz. begin- ning Nov.18 by winning the Midwest Tournament with a string of three straight shutouts this weekend at Ohio State, including a 2-0 triumph over Miami (Ohio) in the finals. "This was the mostexciting week- end I've ever had," senior Denise Urkowitz exclaimed. "The whole tournament, I was thinking that this could be my last game. When we knew we had the game in handagainst Miami of Ohio, it was the best feeling knowing that the season wasn'tover." Miami provided the Wolverines with the stiffest test of the tourna- ment.Michiganjumped out toanearly 1-0 lead when freshman Nicola Armsterheadedhome a crossing pass from junior Jennifer Hoffmeister. "I have never been so excited to score a goal," Armster said. Clinging to a 1-0 lead at halftime, the Wolverines held off the Redskin offense in the second half and senior Lisa Ashton added a goal with a minute left to secure the victory. "It was a very intense game," Ashton said. "But when it was over, everyone just went crazy." "The girls basically tossed me in the mud and threw a coupleof gallons of water on me," coach Linda Hamilton said. "It was worth it, though. That type of situation was expected." Saturday, the Wolverines received a forfeit when Francisian Stubenville showed up late, and later in the day got goals from six different Wolver- ines in a 6-0 victory over Ohio State. These two victories set up a show- down between Michigan and Penn State Sunday. The Wolverines took control of this contest by getting two first-half goals from seniors Alicia Stewart and Ashton, and once again, the defense held strong the rest of the game. Freshman MariaMarcos added a goal in the second half and goaltender Alicia Smith posted yet another shut- out, 3-0. "Penn State figured to be our toughest game," Carrie Taylor said. "We started off a little shaky and nervous, but once we got two great goals, we pretty much tookPenn State out of the game." What may have been even more impressive about the Wolverines this weekend was that amidst the pressure of having to win all their games to qualify for nationals, they didn't al- low a single goal. "Alicia Smith, our goaltender, played really well," Urkowitz said. "She was right in there when they challenged her. In the Miami of Ohio game, she did a great job of knocking away a lot of their corner kicks." Crew team sinks field at 'M' Chase By TOM sEELEY DAILY SPORTS WRITER Braving what Michigan men's varsity crew coach Greg Hartsuff called "torrential conditions," the men's and women's varsity crew teamsboth won theirrespectiveraces in the Michigan Chase held Sunday at Ford Lake in Ypsilanti. The No. 1 men's boat crossed the line first, coming in ahead of Grand Valley State. The womens' boats took the first two spots in their race, beat- ing Michigan State's No. 1 boat. The only rough spot of the day for+ Michigan came when heavy winds caused the men's second boat to fill with water, sinking the boat and the team's chances. Furthermore, some of the sunken team members came down with hypothermia. The race marked the third con- secutive good showing for the Wol- verines. Hartsuff believes that the re- cent phasing out of the lightweight programhasalottodo with the team's success of late. "Without a lightweight program, we've been able to narrow our focus onto the heavyweight program," r Hartsuff said. "And in competitive rowing, your program is judged on the performance of your men's and women's heavyweight eights. "With only one set of boats to concentrate on, I can now put all of my best athletes into the top boat, instead of in the past when I had to split them up between the lightweight and the heavyweight programs." The women's successes came on the heels of recent practice difficulties. "A lack of coxswains makes water work difficult, butoverall, we've been rowing rather well," women's varsity coach Mark Rothstein said. The two teams' next race is against Ohio State Nov. 20.

Work closely with French faculty in small seminars and I By MELINDA ROCO FOR THE DAILY It was a day of cooperation and competition for the Michigan men's volleyball team Saturday as the Wol- verinesjoined Michigan State in Bur- ton for a clinic and match at Atherton High School. Around 50 junior high and high school students participated in the clinic, which was rewarding for play- ers and kids alike. "You learned a lot," one partici- pant said. "It helped to perfect basic skills when you worked one-on-one with the guys." After the clinic, the youngsters were treated to the first confrontation of the year between Michigan and Michigan State. It was a rollercoaster match as the Wolverines took the Spartans to five games before losing, 15-8, 13-15, 6- 15, 15-4, 9-15. Michigan took a quick advantage in the first game as junior setter Stan Lee aced two jump serves for a 4-0 lead. Sophomore outside hitter Gun Unluer led the back row with an .833 passing percentage, and sophomore middle hitter Andy Spitser held the fort at the net with three solid blocks. Freshman outside hitter Ernesto Rodriguez led the team with eight kills as Michigan captured the first game, 15-8. Rodriguez continued his rally of attacks with a total of 11 kills in the next two games. Lee had 24 assists and combined with Spitser for three blocks. However, a streak of poor passing and missed serves by Michi- gan gave the Spartans the victories. Michigan came back strong in the fourth game, totaling five serving aces, three blocks and nine kills to hold the Spartans to only four points. "We had to deal with a lot of ups anddownsin thematch,"Unluersaid. "Though we suffered those twolosses, we weren't discouraged. If anything, it gave us the intensity to play better and more focused so we could crush them in the fourth game." Michigan State won the match in therally-scoring fifth game with a 15- 9 decision. "Rally scoring in the fifth game can be detrimental,"Unluersaid. "The game moves so fast that once you get down, it's difficult to come back." At least the Wolverines had the clinic to console themselves. 4 For information and an application, contact: Sarah Lawrence College in Paris Box UMP 1 Mead Way Bronxville, New York 10708-5999 private tutorials.
