Hockey vs. Ohio State Tonight, 7 p.m. Yost Ice Arena S Volleyball vs. Penn State Tonight, 7 p.m. Cliff Keen Arena Icers square .off against Buckeyes, Lakers By MELANIE SCHUMAN Daily Hockey Writer In any competition involving Michigan and Ohio State, rivalry is a *key motivational factor. Take that, throw in a little Lake Superior State, and if you're the Michigan hockey team, you've got inspiration. Tonight and tomorrow night, the Wolverines (1-1 CCHA, 3-2 overall) will host these two teams, respec- tively, in what will be a test of what Michigan can really handle. Ohio State has started this season *much the way it ended last - as the basement dweller in the CCHA with a 1-5-0 record. Lifetime, Michigan leads the series 32-18-5, defeating the Buckeyes in the team's last 17 matchups. With both Mike Knuble and War- ren Luhning expected to return this weekend, the Wolverines will dress their healthiest lineup this season, according to coach Red Berenson. *Freshman Marty Turco is expected to start in goal. In lieu of veterans, Ohio State will dress eight freshmen who are still See HOCKEY, Page 12 Michigan challenges an improved Purdue By MICHAEL ROSENBERG Daily Football Writer Though football experts around the country continue to deny it, sources close to the Purdue football team have confirmed what has been rumored for several weeks: the Boilermakers have a winning record. It's true. And that means Michi- gan won't have such an easy team bouncing back from last week's dis- appointing 31-19 loss to Wisconsin. Here are the matchups: Michigan running game against Purdue run defense: Tshimanga Biakabutuka returns for the Wolverines, combining with Tyrone Wheatley to give Michigan a dynamic tailback combination. The two will be helped by the fact that the entire offensive line is healthy. When he isn't bothered by injuries, Wheatley is nearly unstoppable. Biakabutuka isn't in that class yet, but he and Wheatley should each roll up plenty of yardage against the Boilermakers. Advantage: Michigan passing game against Purdue pass defense: Quarterback Todd Collins had his first bad game of the year Saturday against the Badgers, but that can be partly blamed on a hip pointer he suffered in the first quarter. Collins is completely healthy, and should be back to his usual efficient ways to- morrow. The question is, can he find Mercury Hayes, Seth Smith and Amani Toomer in the end zone, or will Michigan continue to settle for field goals? Look for the Wolverines to finally score some touchdowns. Advantage: Purdue running game against Michigan run defense: Mike Alstott may be the best run- ner of any fullback in the nation. He's a load to tackle, and teammate Corey Rogers gives the Boilermakers a dev- astating tandem. Michigan's Steve Morrison and Jarrett Irons are two of the best run- stopping linebackers in the nation. Trent Zenkewicz, Jason Horn and Tony Henderson are all solid on the defensive line. So why can't Michi- gan shut down the run? This defense is better on paper than on the field. Advantage: Purdue passing game against Michigan pass defense: With Purdue quarterback Rick Trefzgerout for the year, Billy Dicken will get the start after doing well against Iowa. He's untested, but Michigan's pass defense has failed most of its tests. Advantage: Prediction: Michigan 38, Purdue 21 DOUGLAS KANTER/ Daily Michigan will depend on Mercury Hayes and the rest of the Wolverine receivers in Saturday's contest with Purdue. Wolverines face top conference foes at Cliff Keen By DAVID ROTHBART Daily Sports Writer TrumanoverDewey. Villanovaover Georgetown. BusterDouglas overMike Tyson. These are a few of the greatest upsets of all time. This weekend, the Michigan women's volleyball team hopes to add its name to the list. The Wolverines (1- 11 Big Ten, 5-18 overall) host No. 5 Ohio State tonight and No.3 Penn State on Saturday. *Michigan coach Greg Giovanazzi said it is possible for the Wolverines to shock a national power. However, he set more realistic goals for his team. "We're focusing on improving our level ofplay,"Giovanazzi said. "We want to improve individually and as a team." Michigan showed signs of coming to life last weekend in close losses to Purdue and Illinois. But it will take a emarkableeffort againstthisweekend's joes to come away with a victory. The Buckeyes (11-1, 18-2) swept Michigan in their first meeting this year. Ohio State's up-tempo scoring attack has overwhelmed opponents all sea- son. Junior middle blocker Jenny Jack- son leads the Big Ten in hitting effi- ciency with a.422 average. Senior set- terLauraDavisranks second nationally in assists with 14.37 per game. Giovanazzi said his squad must get the Buckeyes' offense off -bal- ance to have a chance to score some points. While Ohio State boasts acorps of solid, young players, most of the Wolverines' attention will be focused on Jackson and Davis. Saturday night, Michigan takes on Penn State, last year's NCAA runner- up. The Lady Lions (11-1, 22-1) run a slower offense than the Buckeyes, but are equally as strong. Giovanazzi termed Penn State's scoring attack "deliberate, Vince Lombardi-style." The Nittany Lions are not a team that makes mistakes. The Wolverines must come out loose and aggressive and try to force errors, Giovanazzi said. Michigan has never defeated Penn State. Ohio State and Penn State have dominated the Big Ten this season. "This is the first year two teams are so clearly above everyone else," Giovanazzi said. "With the third through eleventh teams, anyone can beat anyone." While the Wolverines have been continually drubbed by their confer- ence opponents, team morale is high, Giovanazzi said. "Our outlook is positive. We haven't had success in the win col- umn, but we're improving." U It's not easy being Black & White!
