6 - The Michigan Daily - SPORTSMonday - Monday, November 14, 1994 C Wu4*CindCs Yost takes no backseat ) to Bowling Green arena By DARREN EVERSON Daily Hockey Writer BOWLING GREEN - Some say that Michigan fans aren't the loudest around; others say watching sporting events here is nothing special. To such comments I say take heart, Wolverine faithful - at least you don't go to Bowling Green. Now, I'm not making any rude statements about the university itself. There are probably thousands upon thousands of people who love going to school there, some of which love it so much they chose it over Michigan. But when it comes to watching a hockey game, there's simply no compar- ing the two. True, Michigan probably has more money to spend on stuff like hockey arenas since it's the premier school in its state. Bowling Green, meanwhile, must compete for cash with Toledo, Akron, Dayton, Ohio University - all of which are similar in size - and Ohio State, which is considerably larger. Because of that, one should be willing to look past the fact that the Bowling Green Ice Arena is so small the puck did indeed hit the roof during Saturday's game. But its glaring lack of a band and its replacement - an organ and an organ player who adds a nauseating 'swing' to the simplest of tunes - cannot slide by without a comment or two. People have said that bands here, no matter what the sport, play 'The Victors' a bit much. Ladies and gentlemen, you have not experienced repeti- tion until you've bopped to 30 or so 'We Will Rock You' routines; one for each player on the Falcon roster, perhaps. As one might guess that gets a bit bothersome, as do the Falcon mascots, who fortunately do not have counterparts at Michigan. However annoying the mascots were, 5,006 of them as spectators would surely have made for a better cheering section than the 5,006 that showed up instead. If the Falcon faithful are any indication of what the rest of the CCHA has to offer, Michigan will lead the league in at least one category - fan support. Granted, the Bowling Green fans did pack the arena (with a little help from some Wolverine supporters), and that's great to see. Next time, though, hopefully they can buy a little imagination along with their tickets. Organized cheers, such as the ones heard at Yost, do not exist at Bowling Green, unless the organ player helps them along. And worse yet, what is this group saying when they pelt the evil Wolverines with a vicious chant of "Lake State!"? "Okay, okay, so maybe you guys are better at this hockey thing than us, but at least there's somebody out there who can beat you..."! Please. Maybe Michigan fans and arenas aren't the best on earth. But if the game is hockey, there certainly is a better place to play it than at Bowling Green. MARK FRIEDMAN/Daily Ron Sacka and linemates Rick Willis and Warren Luhning tallied five points between them against Michigan State. Checking unit steps up for Blue Sacka, Willis and Luhning deliver punch of a different kind HOCKEY e Continued from page 1 passed it out front and I just shot it." When Michigan State came into Yost Ice Area, it was undefeated in the CCHA and ranked No.2 in the country in three of four national polls. The Spartans (6-1-1, 7-1-1) left as losers and without much of the intimi- dating presence that preceded them@ The Wolverines pierced the armor ofSpartannetminderMikeBuzakearly. Coming into the game Buzak sported a paltry 1.47 goals against average, but Michigan scored two goals in the game's first three min- utes. "We knew they were agood team," Berenson said. "We knew that it was important for us to get off to a g start at home and get the crowd intotr game." In the first two periods, the Wol- verines outshot their intrastate rivals, 32-7, and finished the game with a 40- 15 shot advantage. "We had the momentum, there was no question (about it)," Berenson said. "The lead gives you that confidence, and we built on that." Despite closingthe margin to3-2* the end of the first period, the Spartans could never rebound from Michigan's explosive beginning. "They came in and had all the emo- tion," Michigan State coach Ron Ma- son said. "We weren't ready for that." Anson Carter, who scored two of the Spartans' three goals, agreed. "(Michigan) fed off the crowd and did not slow down," Carter said. Senior Ron Sacka led a balanc, scoring attack with two goals, while Gordon and sophomore Mike Legg each added a goal and an assist. The win was especially big for the senior class because it was the last contest between the teams at Yost this season. The victory also helped make up for last year when the Spartans snapped the Wolverines 17-game co ference win streak. Michigan St came into a Yost and snapped that streak with a 6-3 triumph. "You always get up for Michi- gan State," Sacka said. "They came in here last year and beat us ... the senior class wanted to win bad be- cause this is the last time we play them here."

Costs to fill a resume are high, why pay alot to copy it? p 20 copies of resume 20 envelopes 25 blank sheets 10 copies of cover letter ONLY $6.50 By TOM SEELEY Daily Hockey Writer A quick glance at the scoring lead- ers for the Michigan hockey team doesn't turn up any real surprises. The names Botterill, Gordon, Morrison and Hilton seem quite at home atop the list. A glimpse at the boxscore for Friday's game against Michigan State would suggest an error. Sacka? Willis? Luhning? What are these guys doing on the scoring side of the game summary? Shouldn't they be listed under the game's penalties and not the game's goals? Valid questions, since seniors Ron Sacka and Rick Willis and sopho- more Warren Luhning occupy three of the top four most penalized spots on the roster. Together, these three anchor the Wolverines' checking line and their scoring success this week- end had a large impact in the team's victories over Michigan State and Bowling Green. Against the Spartans, this trio took on the role of scorers, notching two goals and three assists between them. "We know our main job is to kill penalties, to play defense, and when we get the chance, put the puck in the net," Sacka said. "You expect your top three lines to score and if your fourth line scores, it's a bonus. "Rick, Warren and I had a little talk and we wanted to be more of a factor this week.

The checking line's production was especially timely since it came on a night when the team's top line was held to one goal and two assists. "We need (the checking) line to score goals," Berenson said. "Anytime our fourth line scores then we're prob- ably going to win or be in the game. "MikeKnublecan'tscore fourgoals a night, or Morrison or Botterill. Be- tween the three of them, they had one goal. We need everyone to step up and be counted. We got goals from players that we count on. They may not lead our team in scoring, but they chip in with timely goals." Sacka scored twice in the first period of the Wolverines' matchup against their intrastate nemesis. The tallies were also the senior's first goals of the season. "Those were the two biggest goals of my career," Sacka said. "I wanted to be a difference in the game. "I read Mike Knuble's biography in the program tonight," Sacka said. "(Knuble) said 'It doesn't matter if I score, I want to be able to be seen on the ice. I want people to know I was out there regardless ofif Iscore.' I kind of took that to heart. I wanted to be known out there." Sacka's second goal came 18 sec- onds after Michigan State's Anson Carter scored a power-play goal to cut the Wolverines' lead to one. Michi- gan was still a man down after the Carter tally as Willis remained in the penalty box to serve an interference penalty on goaltender Marty Turco. John Madden got the puck and skated down the right side. He pulled his stick back as if he was going to take a slap shot, but instead of firing a shot, slid the puck to Sacka who netted his third career shorthanded goal. "John Madden made a great play," Sacka said. "He set me wide open. All I had to do was direct (the puck)." Saturday night against Bowling Green, the trio was back playing de- fense and killing penalties. The three assumed theirregularroles, butFriday's game was a welcome shift. "Our role is to check and make it hard on the opponents," Willis said. "It's definitely a bonus when we chip in with a couple of goals, and its fun to get rewarded once and a while with a couple of points."
