He had three goals and one assist against the Buckeyes in Friday's game and scored the first three of Michigan's four goals Saturday. He was named CCHA Offensive Player of the Week, the third time he's received this honor during the 1994-95 season. BACKGROUND: The right wing scored his 33rd goal of the season against Ohio State, surpassing his goal total of 1993-94. Despite missing five games this season, he is among the CCHA goal-scoring leaders. Knuble was a fourth-round draft choice of the Detroit Red Wings in 1991. Knuble By Sarah DeMar Daily Sports Writer New equipment and a new envi- ronment in Crisler Arena didn't af- fect the Michigan women's gym- nastics team. The Wolverines scored a sea- son-high 196.625 Friday during the Ryca Invitational. In beating both UCLA (194.7) and Auburn (187.2), Michigan proved that the move to Crisler was not a handicap. "I liked Crisler better," junior Wendy Marshall said. "It's bigger and we had all brand-new equip- ment for the meet. -."It was a good preparation for regionals (which will be held there), anl for the bigger gyms during na- tiI als." :.The two victories extended Michigan's record to 15-2. -The Wolverines dominated ev- ery event against Auburn and fell short to UCLA on the uneven bars by three-tenths of a point. However, Michigan beat the Bruins in the vault, floor exercise and balance beam. "We really stayed together as a team," Marshall said. "We didn't worry about anything other than us, and we stayed really motivated which made it more exciting and fun." Marshall and freshman Heather Kabnick tied for the No. 1 position, both achieving an all-around rating of 39.425. Senior co-captain Beth Wymer grabbed third overall with the meet's only perfect score on the uneven bars and a 39.325 all-around. UCLA's Dareema Marrow and Dee Fisher claimed fifth and sixth all-around, respectively, and Michigan's Andrea McDonald placed seventh. The Wolverines were most po- tent against the Bruins and Tigers on the floor, exercise, claiming the first three positions. Wymer won the event and was followed by Kabnick and Marshall. Team co-captain Kelly Carfora placed fifth while McDonald fin- ished sixth. Blue gymnasts set all-time school record- Winkler leads Wolverines to second-place finish in final home meet of the season J. By Chris Murphy Daily Sports Writer The Michigan men's gymnastics team turned in itsbestperformanceof the year in competition against top- caliber teams in Saturday's Michigan Invitational at Cliff Keen Arena. In fact, the Wolverines' score of 227.7 was the highest in school his- tory. Michigan finished second only to Penn State (229.6), outscoring Temple (227.6), Illinois-Chicago (227.1) and Western Michigan (222.4). Saturday marked the final home meet for five Wolverine seniors. Cory Huttenga, Royce Toni, Brian Winkler and captains Rich Dopp and Raul Molina bid farewell to Cliff Keen Arena on a high note. "The seniors pulled together and it trickled down." Dopp said. "The younger guys saw how we pulled together and everyone got a lot out of it." Michigan's consistency was the pivotal factor in its performance. While the Wolverines have struggled at key times this season, they were solid in all events Saturday. "This is probably the first time the team really competed smart," head coach Bob Darden said. "They ap- proached the meet with a real strong attitude to just do what they can do and do the best they can." Michigan started out strong on the floor exercises, highlighted by Winkler's 9.9. The team was able to remain con- sistent through two of the toughest events - the pommel horse (37.4) and rings (38.7). ' "The team had a focus and they were reacting on each other's perfor- mances," Darden said. "That's the kind of dynamic the team has to es- tablish." Junior Bob Young finished with an all-around' score of 56.85, and sophomore Jason MacDonald per- formed well on the floor (9.4) and the high bar (9.55). Michigan was also helped by an energetic crowd at Cliff Keen. With the seniors on their way out, a size- able contingent showed up to say goodbye. "The atmosphere of coming to Michigan is great," assistant coach Mike Milidonis said. "These teams love coming here because it's a great institution for a meet. "It's a great arena and it's a great crowd." The Wolverines will be looking to build on this weekend's perfor- mance in preparation for the Big "This is probably the first time thea team really competed smart - Bob Darden Michigan men's gymnastics coach Ten Championships. "This is the turning point in our season," Toni said. "Tonight we came in, sucked it up and got over our injuries. And hopefully this is the. turning point for Big Tens." With this performance under its' belt, Michigan is looking towardsa two-week training period for the con- ference championship, which will be,. held March 25-26 at Illinois.
