Balanced effort keys win over Bucks

COLUMBUS - There's a victory and then there's a
blowout.
If you were not one of the 2,187 people supposedly on
hand for Michigan's 7-2 victory over Ohio State Friday,
you might assume that this win would fall into the blowout
category. Not exactly.
While the Wolverines did score seven goals in front of
roughly 1,000 fans from both schools, four of them came
in the first period. This tally included a natural hat trick by
Mike Knuble.
"We expected to win and we knew that if we played well,
we'd probably stretch the margin," Michigan coach Red
Berenson said. "It would be up to us. If we played well, we
figured we'd have a good chance to win the game but by
more than one or two goals."
After a sloppy 20 minutes of play by Michigan, the third
*eriod showed why going into this weekend, the Wolverines
were a disappointing No. 3 in the conference.
In Michigan's 10-2 romp in the two teams' first meeting
earlier this season, Buckeye goalie Tom Askey was never
pulled in lieu of a backup (nor was he this weekend). He was
bombarded by double the shots his team had, yet faced only
seven Wolverine shots in the third.
Friday, Ohio State scored only one goal in the third, but
the possibility of more had been looming. Having played the
puck far more in the first 40 minutes, Michigan dropped
back in the third and the Buckeyes stepped it up a notch to
invade Wolverine territory.
"Michigan had backed off their intensity in the third
period and that allowed us to get a few more chances," Ohio
State coach Jerry Welsh said. "We didn't get any breaks but
it's not like we deserved any."
Whether it was gunning for pride or its first conference
win on the season, Ohio State tossed a snag into Berenson's
game plan. The underdogs nearly doubled their shots-on-
goal in the final stanza with eight for a final tally of 17. Yet
at times, it was difficult to determine who was out there -
,ne of the Buckeyes or Brutus the mascot?
Five minutes into the third period, there were scuffles
which erupted into punches thrown, helmets on the ice and
a bunch of egos butting heads. Three players from each team
received double-minors for roughing, while Rick Willis and
Buckeye defenseman Craig Paterson were assessed 10-
minute misconducts.
Berenson and his coaching staff have warned the players
that for the team's sake, they must avoid fighting and after-
the-whistle penalties. These can lead to game misconducts
and a mandated absence from the following game's lineup.
"They know it and sure enough they get goaded into
it," Berenson said. "As much as we're preaching that,
it's still hard for kids that are aggressive kids like Willis
and Luhning to stay out of it. It's not their nature to
back away."
The freshman forward line of Matt Herr, Robb Gordon
and Bill Muckalt was the only consistent factor in the game.
Herr was credited with a goal, although it was obvious that
he made the cross-ice pass to Gordon who actually netted the
score.
These three were part of a steady Wolverine lineup, but
the defense was yet again an interesting mix of talent.
"We don't know down the road who is going to have to
play and who isn't so it's good to keep the guys' game fresh,"
Michigan assistant Billy Powers said.
Harold Schock, who leads the defensemen in scoring
with one goal and seven assists, sat out his first game this
season but did play Saturday against Western Michigan.
Peter Bourke turned in his most solid effort this season,
seeing action in all three periods. Senior Alan Sinclair, who
saw action in only 18 games last year, played in his ninth and
tenth games this weekend. He made a nice play in the first
period to keep Michigan on sides and assisted on Knuble's
second goal.
SophomoreChris Frescoln feels most comfortable play-
ing with Tim Hogan and did so Friday, but there hasn't been
that comfort factor for anyone this season except the consis-
tent twosome of Blake Sloan and Steven Halko.
"The fact is that we happen to have extra guys in case
somebody gets hurt and it just makes you hungrier; it makes
you try harder to get in the rotation," Frescoln said. "It's an
incentive to play harder."
