Umpowldtm at 0 Thursday October 3, 1996 8A Netters open season at Tar Heel Invite Stat Pr I - By Jordan Field For the Daily In preparation for its spring sea- Son, the Michigan men's tennis team will send, eight players to Chapel Hill, N.C., tomorrow, for the Tar Heel Invitational, the first team event of the fall season. Throughout the year, the team is allowed 25 team events and seven 'individual events. A team event is ,any tournament in which more than three players from the university rep- resent the school. Primarily, the fall season is sanc- tioned for individual play and the spying for team play, but a significant tournament such as the Tar Heel Invitational presents an exception. "This tournament is basically a "non-elimination tournament," -Michigan assistant coach Dan Goldberg said. "There is a playoff for every position down the flight, mean- ing that every singles player will play three or four matches regardless of win or lose." Goldberg explained that the more tennis the Wolverines can play, the auore competition they face, the bet- ter and the more worthwhile the tour- .>ament will be. "This tournament is a perfect set- ting to see how far we've come with everything we've worked on so far," he said. "Everyone will have the opportunity to play a lot of matches. A lot of tennis will be played." Leading Michigan to Chapel Hill will be juniors Brook Blain, Arvid Swan and David Paradzik. Blain, a ransfer from Florida, will take the court for the first time as a Wolverine. "I'm very excited," said Blain, iwhose twin brother Brady plays ten- nis at Big Ten rival Illinois. "I've worked very hard with (coach) Brian (Eisner) and Dan (Goldberg) this fall, apd I'm really looking forward to .playing as a Wolverine. "Starting new here basically gives me a refreshing start - a clean slate with a new win-loss record and with a new school. I grew up in Michigan, so maize and blue will feel very nat- ural to me." Swan and Paradzik, two leaders from last year's Big Ten champi- onship team, will try to get back into the swing of things, facing this year's first competition in North Carolina. "I was hurt a little last year near the end of the season," Swan said. "I'm really looking forward to get- ting back into a competitive situa- tion. This tournament will give all of us a good opportunity to do that and to face some tough opponents." Along with the three juniors, sophomores Will Farah and Tomas Filipeik, and freshmen Matt Wright, John Long and Brad McFarlane will make the trip to Chapel Hill. The three freshmen will be making their second appearance at a tourna- ment this year, having competed in the Tom Fallon Invitational at Notre Dame in September. "The results from the freshmen at Notre Dame were extremely posi- tive," Goldberg said. "They played through nerves, and all three won their first match. I'd say that was the most encouraging performance by freshmen in a number of years." The freshmen hope their encourag- ing performance will continue in North Carolina. "We ran into real good players early in the draw at Notre Dame," McFarlane said. "There will be a lot of very good competition at North Carolina, and we will have to be ready to go from the start. We hope- fully will come back with some good results." Aside from Michigan, the schools scheduled to compete at the Tarheel Classic are Harvard, Notre Dame, Duke, North Carolina and William & Mary.

Wolvennes scrap and law their way to goals in win over State .5. By Pranay Reddy Daily Sports Writer The Michigan State field hocey team came into Ann Arbor yesterday ignited by an 8-2 start to its season. The Spartans were flying high and looking to take Michigan along for the ride. However, rather than getting caught up in Michigan State's fumes, Ilre Wolverines got a jumpstart of their own, winning, 4-3. The victory was th . first in the Big Ten for Michigan (1 Big Ten, 4-4 overall) this year after losses to Ohio State and Penn State. "We played very well today," Michigan coach Marcia Pankratz said. "We (played) excellent defense and the attack was just on today." Play went back-and-forth to startihe game until Michigan State's Emma Fernandez ripped a shot past goalkeep- er Amy Helber through a crowd Spartans and Wolverines. Rather than reaching the back of the net, however, the ball deflected off of a Michigan defender's foot, resulting in a penalty stroke for Michigan State (1-2, 8-3). That was all the Spaiians needed, as Angela DiJames flipped-a shot past Helber for a 1-0 Michigan State lead. The Wolverines apparently respond- ed to DiJames' wakeup call, with Michelle Smulders leading the ata4 Her play in the ensuing minutes led to a number of scoring opportunities; yet Michigan couldn't capitalize. On one sequence, Michigzan's Sandra Cabrera tightroped down the sideline and sent the ball upfield, setting up'a one-on-one break for Smuldeis. Smulders tried to work her way arnibnd Michigan State goalkeeper Tiicia Gann, yet simply ran out of room. Unfazed, Smulders continued he strong play and made amends for her previous missed scoring chances. With seven minutes left in the peri- od, Smulders rifled a shot toward Gann, which was deflected into 'the goal by Michigan's Amy Philbrook. The Smulders-Philbrook combination knotted the game at one for the Wolverines and seemed to revitalize them as well. But Michigan soon learned ther no way it was going to keep a scor like Michigan State's Rayna Hiscox down. Coming into the game, theBig scoring leader had scored 10 of the Spartans' 31 goals on the season. Hiscox added to this total minutes before halftime, darting a shot behind an outstretched Helber, giving Michigan State a 2-1 lead at the half. Early in the second half, the Wolverines played the familiar role o See SPARTANS, Page 10A Schedule Today No events scheduled.

Lucky breaks. Divine intervention. Call it what you want, but the Michigan field hockey team found a way to score yesterday at Ocker Field in its 4- 3 victory over Michigan State. The Wolverines used a little bit of everything to put together their highest offensive output of the season, with four different players contributing goals. "We definitely didn't get the breaks (in the past)," attacker Julie Flachs said. "Today we had more passing combina- tions that helped us out a lot at the end." And it was in the end that Michigan secured the victory, as three of its scores came in the second half. This wasn't the first time this season that the Wolverines have had to come back. Michigan responded from a 2-0 deficit against Ball State, with Flachs scoring three goals to win the contest. Unlike that game, however, a number of Wolverines got involved in the scor- ing. This is definitely a boon for a team that has had scoring fits in the past week. Considering that Michigan had racked up an average of 17 shots in its first seven games, it might have been surpris- ing that the Wolverines had not have scored more. "Our finishing skills have been horri- ble," sophomore attacker Lindsay Babbitt said. "A lot of it was just men- tal." Considering two of the goals came from sophomores Amy Philbrook and Babbitt, Michigan head coach Marcia Pankratz must be excited about the recent youth movement. Both have scored their first collegiate goals this season - Philbrook's yesterday against Michigan State and Babbitt's Sunday versus Penn State. "(Philbrook and Babbitt) both played very well today," Pankratz said. "They stayed on the ball, and Lindsay scored a beautiful, beautiful goal." The goal was Babbitt's second in two games, and now the question is has she found the scoring touch? Babbitt certainly doesn't think so. "Sometimes if you put your stick in the right place, things just happen," Babbitt' said. "(The goal) was just a result of (Michigan's) play." Whether the young Wolverines keep contributing to the offense remains to be seen. However, one Michigan scorer doesn't look like she's going to be letting up anytime soon. Flachs was involved in the scoring for Michigan again. Her game-winning goal gave her a total of seven on the season. The contributions of Flachs and her teammates were sorely needed yester- day, and something coach Pankratz hopes to use as a stepping stone to the rest of the Big Ten season. "This was a big success," Pankratz said, "and hopefully we can build on it." OCTOBER 6 01996 - III 1 Assembly Hall Rackham Building, 4th Floor 915 E.
