With a first-round victory, the Wolverines take on the winner of the Texas A&M-Arizona State game. The Sun Devils are coached by Bill Frieder, who left his job as the head man at Michigan during the 1988-89 season. A victory in the second round would put the Wolverines in the final against the winner of the Chaminade-Mary- land, Indiana-Utah bracket. The likely matchup against either Maryland or Indiana will be a very diffi- cult task for Michigan. Nevertheless, the players and coaches are looking forwani to the early-season opportunity. "I'm like the kids, I like to play good people where there is an excite- ment in the arena when you walk in," Michigan coach Steve Fisher said. 'I like that a lot. But the most important thing is I want to make sure we win." The Tulane game will actually A at 12:30 tomorrow morning on ESPN. With a win, the Wolverines will play again 7p.m. Tuesday. Due to the single elimination format, there will be only one champion. But the first- and sec- ond-round losers brackets guarantee every team a chance to play three games before heading back to the mainland. Women swi.mers have easy time with Penn State By REBECCA MOATZ Daily Sports Writer After cruising past its toughest divi- sional competition last week, the Michi- gan women's swimming and diving team faced its most challenging Big Ten road competition this weekend. Once again the Wolverines proved why it is ranked No. 1 in the conference. The number three seemed to be a magical number for the Wolverines (3- 0 Big Ten, 5-0 overall) who defeated PennState(1-1,3-1) 183-115,byplac- ing first in all but three events, sweep- ing three of them. Senior Alecia Humphrey and sophomore Rachel Gustin were multiple winners, each claiming first in three events. Humphrey and Gustin began the meet winning the 200 medley relay along with freshman Talor Bendel and junior Megan Gillam. However, the result all came down to the final touch with Michigan edg- ing out its competition, 1:46.76 to 1:46.83. Humphrey went on to win the 100 and 200 backstrokes (57.06,2:01.63), and the 100 butterfly (57.41), while Gustin went on to win 100 and 200 breastrokes (1:03.55,2:18.86) and 200 individual medley (2:05.65). Also winning for the Wolverines were freshman Kerri Hale in the 1000 free, Bendel in the 200 free, sopho- more Anne Kampfe in the 200 butter- fly, freshman Karin Bunting in the 500 free and diver Carrie Zarse. The Wolverines swept the 100 breast, 200 fly, and 200 IM with the underclassmen leading the way. Fol- lowing Gustin in the 100 breast, were sophomore LisaButzlaff(1:04.71) and freshman Alegra Breaux (1:06.81). In the next event, the 200 fly, freshmen Hale (2:005.31) and Bunting (2:06.12) fell into second and third while in the 200 IM, freshmen Kim Johnson (2:06.37) and Breaux (2:07.89) also followed suit to complete the sweep. However, even with all of the Wol- verines' wins, the Nittany Lions dis- covered and exploited Michigan's weakness: the sprints. Penn State's Deni Rudy who holds the seventh fastest time in the confer- ence, returned to win the 100 free, place second in the 50 free to a fellow Nittany Lion, and lead the 400 free relay team to victory. Yet the loss of the sprints was not a surprise for the Wolverines who saw this as their weakness two weeks ago against No. 2 Texas and No.4 SMU. The Michigan squad is in its toughest month of training and kndws that it must put an extra effort into its weaker events. This will, no doubt, be a focus for the team as it prepares for the Speedo Invitational which takes place after Thanksgiving break. t ~~letes.hee WHO: Tom Dolan TEAM: Men's Swimming HOMETowN Arlington, Va. YEAR: Sophomore EUGIBILUTY: Sophomore WHY: Broke his own Canham Natatorium record for the 100 freestyle against No. 3 Texas Saturday. Dolan also won the 500 freestyle and finished second in the 200 breaststroke. BACKGROUND: As a freshman, Dolan was given the United States Olympic Committee Athlete of the Year award. He is currently nominated for the Sullivan award. Dolan set world record in 400-meter IM at World Championships. He was the Big Ten Swimmer and Freshman of the Year. He qualified as an NCAA All- American in 500 freestyle, 1650 freestyle, 400 IM, and 800 freestyle. SWIMMING Continued from page 1 individuals and I'd been waiting for the team to show up," Urbanchek said. "For the first time, I really felt this team was a team. We earned the right to be No. 1. We swam like a No. 1 team." The Wolverines (1-0 Big Ten, 5-0 overall) simply dominated the Long- horns (1-1) from start to finish. Michi- gan won 12 of the meet's 13 events, finished both first and second in seven, and swept the top three places in the 200 individual medley. Texas was missing its top relay team due to exams and its top 200 butterflyer due to illness. But that was still not a factor, according to Long- horn coach Eddie Reese. "I don't want to make excuses. We got tramped on," Reese said. Reese, whose Longhorns defeated No.2 Stanford last week, felt the Wol- verines' performance was far ahead of schedule for this point in the season. "I'd like to see Stanford a lot more often than I'd like to see Michigan. They were awesome," Reese said. "This is the best they've ever swum before Christmas. Iexpected them to be a little more tired." If the Wolverines were fatigued, it didn't show in the water. Michigan began the meet by exploding offof the blocks to win the crucial 400 medley relay by over six seconds in a time of 3:49.61. In the next event, Wolverine Tom Dolan capped off his banner week fit- tingly. He broke his own Canham Na- tatorium record for the 1000 freestyle, winning in a time of 9:04.16. Dolan also went on to finish first in the 500 freestyle (4:27.03) and second in the 200 breaststroke (2:03.25). "I've got a couple of guys I would trade for him," Reese said. "He's al- most unbeatable." Dolan's invincibility earned him theU.S. Olympic Committee's Swim- mer of the Year Award earlier in the season, and now it has resulted in a nomination for the Sullivan Award, given to the NCAA's top amateur ath- lete. "He deserved it," Urbanchek said. "He's definitely the No. I swimmer in America today." Yet Dolan downplayed the honors, highlighting his workethic andperfor- mances instead. "It's definitely been a good week," Dolan said. "The (awards) arejustkind of icing on the cake. It wasn't my goal going into the year. Of course, it's nice to have. What I look for is to work hard and to swim fast. If you do, then the awards will follow." Dolan was not the only star of the meet, however. Michigan's Royce Sharp won both the 200 butterfly and the 200 backstroke. He also took sec- ond in the 200 individual medley. "Royce Sharp's near-triple was un- believable," Urbanchek said. Other Wolverine swimmers who came out on top in their events in- cluded: Chris Rumley (200 freestyle), Gustavo Borges (50 freestyle), Owen von Richter (200 IM medley), Steve West (200 breaststroke), and Derya Buyukuncu (100freestyle). Michigan diver Abel Sanchez took the one-meter springboard event from teammate Alex Bogaerts with a score of 295.35. The three-meter competi- tion was the sole event won by Texas, with Longhorn Sam Arieff topping Sanchez and Bogaerts with 328.73 points. Of course, none of the Wolverines' successes Saturday count toward the national title. Only the NCAA finals determine that. But Michigan has pro- nounced itself as the early-season frontrunner forthe national champion... ship. "(They are the favorites) withouta doubt," Reese said. "They've got so many people that you can't stop...They've got something they haven't had in a while: depth. But not just depth in numbers. They have what you would call strength in their depth." Dolan thinks Michigan's combina- tion of depth and talent will pack an. even stronger punchnow that theWol1 verines have defeated the Longhorns. "I think this has brought us together a lot more than we have been this year. It's been one of our problems," Dolan said. "We have so much talent and this has helped us get it together. That will help us." It will help Urbanchek as he takes his deep, newly cohesive unit out east to the Harvard Invitational in early December, hoping to keep it on pace for a win at the National Champion- ships in March. That's what he's really waiting for. Trvi Aser The last time Michigan lost eight regular season games dn two seasons was in 1967 andg 1968. The Wolverines lost nine games in 1983 and 1984, including consecutive defeats in postseason bowls. = camcorders "VCRs *Sound Systems & Disco Equipment Audio- 100fs of items *TVs 215 S.
