UT £idliau &Ie I Wolverines work double-time Michigan soccer scraps to victory over Indiana, 1-0, in 2 overtimes L By Dan Stillman Daily Sports Writer With 1:09 remaining in the second overtime, frustration turned to joy for the Wolverines. Freshman Emily Schmitt scored to give the Michigan women's soccer team an exhilarating 1-0 victory over Indiana yesterday afternoon. Schmitt's goal earned the Wolverines (1-1 Big Ten, 4-2-2 overall) their first conference victory of the season. They lost 2-0 to Ohio State in their Big Ten opener on Friday. Yesterday's win was the Wolverines' third in the Big Ten in the three-year history of the pro- gram, with one of the previous two also com- ing at the expense of the Hoosiers (1-1, 4-4). The winning goal developed when sopho- more forward Jessica Limauro got a free ball. After an Indiana defender left Schmitt to dou- ble-team Limauro, the forward fed the ball to a wide-open Schmitt in front of the box. Schmitt promptly drilled the ball in upper-right corner of the net, and the Wolverines held off the Hoosiers for the remainder of the second over- time period. Schmitt's goal ended what had been a frus- trating afternoon of missed opportunities for a Michigan offense that outshot Indiana, 36-8. "It was amazing, seriously, it was like the best feeling," Schmitt said. "I had chances in the game. Actually, the whole team had chances, but I personally had a lot of chances. I felt we outplayed them through the whole game, and it was nice to finally get a goal, and get the victory." With the victory, the Wolverines avoided a third consecutive tie at Michigan Soccer Field. Michigan played both No. 22 Kentucky and a solid California team to 2-2 ties last weekend. "We didn't want to end up with that third tie in a row at home," Michigan coach Debbie Belkin said. "We're creating opportunities, and last week we said we almost did it, but now we had our chances and we did it." The Michigan offense created many oppor .tunities throughout the game, especially in the second half and overtime periods. Michigan's best scoring chance in the first half came when a Wolverine headed a corner into the crossbar. Several other opportunities were thwarted by Indiana goalkeeper Meritt Elzey who made 13 saves, as well as an aggres. sive and physical Indiana defense. While Indiana could muster just two first, half shots, both were from well inside the box and in front of Michigan goaltender Jessica Jones. Despite coming out and equaling Indiana's physicalness in the second half, the Wolverines' offensive frustrations continued.

Michigan is now 'M' field Jhocke stuCk by Lions, 5-2 By Pranay Reddy aily Sports Writer It was all too simple a story that was played out yesterday afternoon at Ocker Field. The Michigan field hockey team took the field against a deeper, more experienced Penn State squad - and the better team won. At least that's the way Michigan head coach Marcia Pankratz tells it after her team's 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Lady Lions. "We were beaten by a better team," .kratz said. "This is the best hockey game we've played all year. We had great possession passing, the defense was sound and we had good play execu- tion. (Penn State) is just a better team right now." The loss to Penn State (1-1 Big Ten, 4-5 overall) comes after a difficult defeat by Ohio State on Friday, 3-2. From the onset of yesterday's game, "n State's attack took command, ting constant pressure on Michigan's defense. Nevertheless, Michigan goal- lkeper Amy Helber was successful in h&attempts to hold off the Lady Lions' otislaught - but not for long. 4elber's diving stabs and out- 4treched kicks fended off Penn State for only 10 minutes', as Holly Bollinger pitt the Lady Lions on the board, 1-0. ,Penn State added a goal seven min- utes later and then ended its first half ring with a one-timer by Tara Mguire from a perfectly angled feed from teammate Dawn Lammey.

Yost Ice Arena, Michigan's hockey home since 1973, underwent major renovations this summer. MARGARET MYERS/Daily avoided Indiana defenders long enough to win in the second N1-I in the Big Ten. Howard's 4 scores Mi*chiganM By Barry Sollenberger Daily Sports Editor Saturday's Michigar-UCLA match- up figured to provide excitement for fans of both teams. And it did - sort of. If you bleed maize and blue, you were certainly excited by how well your offense executed. But if you cheer for UCLA, the only excitement you felt was your rush to the exits early in the second half. Michigan 38 UCLA 9 The seventh-ranked Wolverines built a 35-3 third-quarter lead and cruised to a surprisingly easy 38-9 victory over the Bruins on Saturday in front of 106, 011 at Michigan Stadium. Michigan (1-0 Big Ten, 4-0 overall) completely dominated the game, rolling up 559 yards total offense to only 170 for UCLA (1-2). The Wolverines' total yardage was more than half of the 1,014 yards they had gained in the previous three games combined. "We'll find some things to work on, but I think this was best outside of the Colorado game that we've played all year," Michigan coach Lloyd Carr said. "I never dreamt that we'd do the things we did to UCLA." The Wolverines did, indeed, do a lot of things to UCLA. Most significantly, they ran around and through the slower and smaller Bruins. "I think we felt going in that our strength was up front," Carr said. Michigan's rushing attack proved Carr right, amassing 300 yards on the ground. UCLA is still trying to tackle rthl- ping back Chris Howard. After missing last week's game against Boston College because of bruised ribs, the junior rushed for four touchdowns and a career-high 109 yards on 16 carries. "Chris played the best he's played at Michigan," Carr said. "I think you saw today the back he's capable of being." Howard scored on runs of 31, 10, six and seven yards as the Wolverines built their 35-3 lead. Michigan quarterback Scott Dreisbach also had a superb day.
