10 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, March 29, 1994 GYMNASTICS NOTEBOOKS: Wymer scores 10; UNIVERSITY PARK - The Big Ten championship eluded the No. 5 Michigan men's gymnastics team for the 19th consecutive year, but the Wolverines need not feel sorry for themselves. Sunday, the top eight gymnasts from Satur- day competed against one another. Rich Dopp placed second on high bar (9.8) and floorexercise(9.675), and Brian Winkler took second on vault (9.3). BACK-TO-BACK: No. 2 Ohio State won its second consecutive Big Ten Championship, scoring a record 286.975. Next season, the Buckeyes will try to become the second straight team to three-peat. Minnesota accom- plished this feat from 1990-1992. SUPER COACH: Michigan coach Bob Darden was hon- ored along with Ohio State's Peter Kormann as Big Ten Coach of the Year. Darden, in his 11 th season coaching the Wolverines, had never earned this accolade before. He led Michigan to impressive victories over Minnesota and Penn State, and in a losing effort, to a school-record 282.25 against Ohio State. YOUNG AND TALENTED: Michigan's Bob Young, cur- rently ranked No. 16 nationally in all-around, finished 20th with a 54.25. He has led the Wolverines in all-around the entire season. Dopp (54.125) finished 21st and Winkler (54.075) took 22nd place. - Josh Karp title eludes men UNIVERSITY PARK - Beth Wymer turned in yet anotherspectacularperformance by capturing firstin three of four events, and winning the all-around title in the Big Ten Championships. She also came in second on the balance beam and proved that she deserves W M 'SherNo. I national ranking. Wymer scored a 10.00 on the vault for a new team record, and also became the first gymnast to record a 10.00 in any event in Championship history. HOME ADVANTAGE?: While it may have seemed that Penn State would have the decided advantage when it came to crowd support, the Wolverine faithful let their presence be known. Many people made the trip from Ann Arbor, making it seem at times as if the Wolverines were right at home. Chants of "Let's go Blue!" rang through Recreation Hall all night. DYNASTY: As the Michigan crowd started to chant "three-peat" when it realized that the Wolverines had won the Big Ten title, the young Wolverines huddled and had their own celebration. The team has good reason to cel- ebrate, because after capturing their third straight Big Ten title, there doesn't appear to be any drop-off in talent in the near future. With the exception of senior Nicole Simpson, the entire team will be back next year with the goal of achieving the unheralded "four-peat." - Tim Smith " JOE WESTRATE/Daily The Michigan lacrosse team has scored the first goal of a game just once this season.

Ester through The Gretzl Coffee She.. By ELISA SNEED DAILY SPORTS WRITER When don't you want to score the first goal of the game? When you are a member of the Michigan men's lacrosse team, that's when. This proved to be true for the Wolverines again this weekend as they defeated Purdue, 9-6, and Indi- ana, 25-6, and didn't score the first goal in either contest. "There's only one time this sea- son when we've scored first," Michi- gan coach Bob DiGiovanni said. "And that was our only loss, to the Ohio State varsity team. "We don't try not to score first, it's just happens that way." The first game of the weekend, Saturday against Purdue, proved to be a tough challenge. As expected, Purdue was a strong opponent and the Wolverines had to work hard to win the game. Arriving at the field for its first outdoor match since spring break, the Wolverines were greeted by rain, cold and mud - not the conditions they are used to in Oosterbaan Fieldhouse. "The conditions are no excuse," DiGiovanni said. "But it gave us some trouble. It was hard to get warmed up. And when the game started, Michi- gan wasn't really ready. "We started out real slow," midfielder Dave Reichel said. But the team did manage to gel. "We had a couple of people really step up for us," attackman Steve Simich said. "Dave Reichel put in a lot of goals." Reichel's scoring provided some of the momentum the team needed to come together. "All my goals came in the first seven minutes," he said. "After that, everyone picked up their games." The end of the first quarter saw the Wolverines take a 4-1 lead over the Boilermakers. But by halftime, Purdue had made up some ground to trail by one goal, 5-4. "Your strategy, when you're close at the half like that, has got to be to go out there strong," DiGiovanni said. "The key to winning is scoring quickly in the third quarter." The strategy worked. In the third period the Wolverines managed to put in three goals, while holding Purdue scoreless thanks to the goaltending of freshman Anil Arora. "(Arora) made some excellent saves for us," DiGiovanni said. "At point-blank range." And while Michigan did go on to win the game, it tallied a shooting percentage of only 24 percent for the team. The midfield shot 38 percent, but the attackmen registered only 17 percent, scoring on three of Michigan's nine goals. "We really suffered on offense," DiGiovanni said. "We had to really play hard and reach down deep to come out with a win." Although Indiana was not ex- pected to be especially strong, DiGiovanni attributed some of Michigan's success to a change in its regimen. "Having more warm-up with a lot of shooting all helped our mental atti- tude," DiGiovanni said. "The attack certainly redeemed themselves." And indeed they did. The attackmen improved upon their per- formance the previous day to score 20 of the Wolverines' 25 goals, shooting better than 50 percent. "The shooting was really good," Simich said. "We were working re- ally well together. "In terms of driving to the goal and drawing a man, we could exploit that. They didn't have a back-up." With two conference victories under its belt, Michigan has a confi- dent outlook for the rest of the season. "We're undefeated in the Big Ten right now," Reichel said. "Most prob- ably, we'll go into the tournament as the number one seed." a -a a a a l le 7Dps We ' 79-4?0 0 I 1V- Call: 1-800-888-4777 or Write: Director of Admissions 2501 West 84th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55431 PAID ADVERTISEMENT PAID ADVERTISEMENT At least 513 eyewitnesses.

More than Easter bunnies and colored eggs, Easter is the celebration of two historical events, the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. We believe Christ died for our sins and rose again. He conquered death and offers us forgiveness, peace with God, and eternal life. But if the resurrection of Jesus is a hallucination, a hoax, or a myth, faith in Jesus Christ would be worthless and, as Paul the Apostle, a follower of Christ, wrote, "Christians of all people, would be most pitied." We have come to the conclusion that the resurrection of Jesus has been well-documented historically, and provides strong reasons for each of us to consider the truth of his claims for our lives. If you would like to know more, we invite you to talk with any one of us further about this. Cindy Fenske Lecturer, Nursing Bob Fijan Asst. Prof., Mech. Eng. I I
