12 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, September 28, 1994 Men's soccer . earnng respect By JOHN LEROI For the Daily Only one game after deciding that it won't be intimidated by varsity programs, the Michigan men's soccer team has earned some respect of its own. After a strong showing Sunday in a 3-0 loss to Division 115 No. 10 Wisconsin-Parkside, who has finished in the top twenty for nine consecutive years, the Wolverines defeated Macomb Community College last Wednesday, 4-2. "After the Parkside game, other schools should realize that we are a strong team," freshman midfielder Eric Frickel said. "We don't go down easy and we will always come out and play." Michigan (3-3-2) will get a chance to prove it deserves its new found respect today at Mitchell Field at 5 p.m. against Schoolcraft, a junior college that always fields a formidable team. After an up and down start to the 1994 season, today's match against Schoolcraft is a critical game for the Wolver- ines. "Schoolcraft will prove to be a pivotal game in our season," Michigan head coach Steve Burns said. "They beat us last year, 2-0, and they always have a great team despite changing the faces every two years." However, revenge may not play a huge factor in Michigan's strategy. Five Wolverines, all of whom will start tonight, played on that Schoolcraft squad which earned a decisive victory over Michigan a year ago. Andy Cosenza, Ryan and Adam Carriere, Matt Presley and Bill Lanspeary all remembered that the victory over Michi- gan boosted the team's confidence and eventually led it to qualify for the national tournament, where it made it to the quarterfinals. Schoolcraft also has the advantage of dipping into the large talent pool in the Detroit area. Many prospective players from the area choose the junior college over four-year universities. One of the highlights of Schoolcraft's season is the Michigan game and the team is ready to take on the Wolverines. There is little doubt that Michigan will be prepared to face Schoolcraft this year. The Wolverines are certainly up for the challenge. "We've got some momentum going now," Burns said. "We are definitely up for the challenge." t Take this quiz: When is the next special occasion with your certain someonel a) The U-M vs. Penn State football game b) The next episode of 90210 c) Sweetest Day If you answered: (a), then ask Gary Moeller to marry you.

Sanders told the Detroit Free Press in* Saturday's editions that the baby was born April 10. He attended Detroit's football game against Dallas Sept. 20 with Sanders' parents. "I feel great about it, it's pretty nice," Sanders said of having a son, whose full name is Barry James. Sanders, a onetime spokesman against premarital sex, said he doesn't know whetherhe'll marry BJ'smother, whomhe refused to identify. He said he has known the woman for about seven years, since dating her at Oklahoma State University. Sanders said he sees the baby at least once a week on days off. In 1991, Sanders told reporters he opposed premarital sex and was celi- bate. But in a recent interview with the Free Press, Sanders said he no longer speaks on that question. "My position on that has evolved," he said. "I've just changed." How- ever, he said he still believed virginity should not be a reason to deride some- one. "Ultimately, it's something that's up to the individual," he said in an interview done during the summer. Fehr updates players on negotiations. Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES - As Congress continued to prepare legislation aimed at ending baseball's labor stalemate, Donald Fehr, executive director of the baseball players' union, met for more than three hours yesterday with 77 players based in Southern Califor- nia. He said later he had found the same "anger and cold resolve" in reaction to the impasse that he has found on previous stops of a cross- country tour designed to update players.
