8 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, September 22, 1994 SOCCER Continued from page 5 A possible factor for Michigan's lackluster play could be the injury to co-captain and on the field inspiration Dave Nordwall. "Our team leader is injured and it is ayoung team," Burns said. "(Because) we are lacking leadership, the chemis- try is still a little off." Another factor was Macomb for- ward Henry Steinwascher. He coun- tered the Michigan attack with a goal of his own. Eightminutes later he assisted forward Scott Baum to put Macomb ahead 2-1. Immediatly following the Macomb goal, Cosenza struck back with a solo goal right through the center of the Macomb defense. After that everything seemed to go Michigan's way. Michigan defender Rick Weinberg headed in the go-ahead goal offofacorner kick from midfielder Kris Wiljanen, and soon after Steve Moore secured the vic- tory with a free-kick goal. "Until the last 15 minutes, we stayed well into the game," Macomb coach Mik Lacadis said. "We made some obvious mistakes in the second half, and couldn't get it back." Improving golfers gear up for fall By SUSAN DANN For the Daily As the saying goes, there is no ' in the word team. But for the Michi- gan women's golf team, success is spelled with individual performance, with hopes that it will lead to an overall better team showing. In her second year at Michigan, coach Kathy Teichert looks forward to a season full of improvement, after guiding Michigan to it's first tourna- ment title in two years. The team's enthusiasm for a com- petitive season is due in part to Teichert. "She has become more comfort- able each year," junior Shannon McDonald said. " She is a good player herself, so she understands the game and what we go through." After opening this season with a sixth place finish at the Minnesota Golf Invitational in Minneapolis on Sept. 3- 4, the Wolverines are now able to gauge their work for the fall. "It was the beginning of the sea- son and everyone had some nerves," McDonald said. "We all had a good round and a bad round." The Wolverines return almost in- tact from last season. McDonald, Michigan's top individual from a year ago, averaged 83.04 over 28 rounds. Along with Jenny Zimmerman and Tiffany McCorkel, Michigan also retains the services of sophomores Wendy Westfall and Ashley Williams, ranking third and fourth, respectively, on last season's roster. Sophomores Molly Vandenbark and Jodi Smith as well as freshmen LaurmTzakis and Nicole Green will also challenge for tournament time. This weekend the women's golf team travels to Michigan State for the annual Spartan Invitational. This tour- nament is a warm-up for the rest of the season, according to Teichert. "With all of our tournaments, we hope to improve every time out," Teichart said. "We might not have the scores I'd like to be seeing, but we're working hard on our short game since we haven't excelled in this area." With an improved chipping game, team scores are expected to drop. Teichert hopes a team score of 325 will put Michigan into contention. How Many Questions Separate You from the LSAT Score You Need?

Instead, the Wolverines' weekend finds them battling conference pow- erhouses Northwestern and Iowa. Despite the competition, Michi- gan (0-0 Big Ten, 4-3 overall) gears up for conference play after seven games with non-conference opponents. "We're totally excited," freshman midfielder Carolyn Schwarz said. "It's a good challenge." Schwarz's statement could be the understatement of the year, considering that the Wolverines have acombined I- 48 career record against their two oppo- AA k - -&A &Ah, -&A k, kA,&&A AL &p AAAA L , A. ,W'W w 7 7 '_ r74T T 7T 'O I f ' T R' SHE LITTLE AS aF nents. Lastyear's2-0 win atNorthwest- er accounts for Michigan's only vic- tory against either conference foe. Yet Michigan coach Patti Smith remains unperturbed. "This isabrand new team, andabrandf new year," Smith said. The Michigan players echoed Smith's optimism. "We've really been working well on our passing," junior goalkeeper Rachael Geisthardt said. "We'll be fired up and ready to go." The Wildcats feature All-Big Ten First-Teamer Gretchen Scheuermann. The senior forward/midfielder led the conference in scoring last year. Offensively, Michigan hopes to move the ball around quicker and capitalize on its scoring chances. The Wolverines, though, have had prob- lems doing the latter and have empha- sized execution of scoring opportuni- ties this week in practice. "We're doing 1-on-I with the goal- ies, and we're finishing (our drives) at the net," Schwarz said. 0 Execution of scoring opportunities will be vital this weekend. Because of the high calibre of Michigan's oppo- nents, scoring chances will be fewer. The Wolverines were shut out in their two games last year against the Hawkeyes. Iowa holds a 25-0 lead in the series. In contrast to Northwestern, Iowa has no single player that will warrant major attention from the Wolverines. Last year's Big Ten Most Valuable Player and overall leading scorer, Kristy Gleason, has graduated and a number of talented players have stepped up to fill this hole. With the large number of under- classmen on the roster (eight freshmen and four sophomores), it has taken a little while for Michigan to learn about one another. "I think we've learned a lot in our first seven games," Smith said. "We have the potential for our team to play better." SWIFTY. [A.K.A.

I answered in the affirmative. 3Vr . _ She told me she had a lot on her mind and even more on her desktop. A phone, a" computer, a key- board, a monitor, a mouse pad, a scanner, and a personal printer that in her words, "was as big and slow as a dinosaur." "Not good'; I said. Then she got teal serious, "I run a fast-paced small business. I'm looking for a printer that matches that description and I don't friend'of mine, Little Swifty." Her eyes lit up as we walked over to the BJ-200e. "It's so sleek, so compact", she whispered. I hit the print sample but- ton. Her eyes lit up again, and she continued to whisper, "It's so fast, and the output so crisp and clean."

Yep. She was happy all right. Come to think of it, so was I. As we parted I wrote down a number she could call if she had more questions, 1-800-848-4123. And then, I looked in her big beautiful eyes and told her what I tell everyone, "Before you buy a printer, investigate.
