12A - The Michigan Daily - Monday, October 14, 1996 No vacancy in penalty box By Andy Knudson Daily Sports Writer SAULT STE. MARIE - Universities have received probations, even "death penalties," for lack of insti- tutional control. Given such precedent, referee Matt Shegos woald seem eligible for similar punishments after whistling 43 penal- ties Saturday in Abel Arena. Shegos also seemed eligible for several assists. Only one goal in Michigan's 4-2 victory over Lake Superior was scored at even strength. The most telling image of the game came early in the second period, when seven Wolverines and six Lakers all struggled to fit into their respective penalty boxes. "We were just trying to get some open space so we could breathe," Michigan's Warren Luhning said. Luhning received a pair of minor penalties for roughing after an alterca- tion in front of Lake Superior goal- tender John Grahame. But Luhning did not skate off the ice alone. His consec- utive penalties were only two of the 12 penalties called at 1:13 of the second stanza. The melee started when Luhning - positioned at the top of the goal crease - tried to control a rebound given up by Grahame. The goaltender pounced on the puck while Luhning was poking at it, and several Lakers wanted Michigan's right wing to back off. Being pushed from behind, Luhning fell on top of Grahame. "I was laying on the goalie and I got hit and hit and hit," Luhning said. "(Then) they ripped my helmet off. There was some pushing - no fighting - but the ref decided to throw the whole line in the box. "I thought it was kind of funny." Luhning eventually got untangled, but his work wasn't done. He spotted one of his freshmen in trouble. "(Sean) Peach had two guys, so I thought I'd go over and grab one of them," Luhning said. "I guess I got (another) penalty for doing that." Luhning didn't just grab the guy. He got the Laker in a headlock from behind and yanked him off Peach's back. Peach - playing in his first big game as a Wolverine - was pleasantly surprised to hear that his teammates were looking out for him. After all, that's how he got involved in the first place. "1 just saw one guy hit (John) Madden from behind, so I went in there to help him out and just grab onto a guy - nothing really serious," Peach said. But like everybody else on the ice at the time, he was thrown in the box for two minutes. Fourteen more penalties were called in the second period, for a total of 26 in the stanza. Thirteen different Wolverines earned penalties on the night, and the penalty virus found an unlikely host at the end of the game. All four of Michigan's third period penalties were whistled against senior captain Brendan Morrison. "I can't remember taking four penalties in a game, let alone in the third period," Morrison said. But even with their captain in the box for eight minutes of the final peri- od, the Wolverines came out on top in a grinder of a game. Before Matt Herr scored the short- handed goal that put the game away for the Wolverines, he had to pay the price physically. "Those things happen," Herr said If two is company and three is a crowd, what's seven? That's how many Wolverines were in the penalty box Saturday night. about a previous breakaway on which he was pounded off the puck. "You're looking down at your feet, and the next thing you know - clocked!" Michigan coach Red Berenson said the penalties are obviously an area in which the team will have to improve. The infractions could have stemmed from few different factors, Berenson said. "It might be a little bit of sloppi- ness because they haven't been offici- ated as well in practice (as in a game) he said. "(Or) It might be the fact that the officials are calling it tighter than we remember they called it last year. "You expect it to a point, but y don't expect it to become roller hockeyv Miichigan Sports Roundup M' women's cross country gets wake-up call By Chris Farah Daily Sports Writer The No. 12 Michigan women's cross country team was stunned Friday at the Michigan Intercollegiate in Dowagiac by an upstart Eastern Michigan squad, 41- 45. "Wake-up call," was how senior cap- tain Jen Barber described the experience - the Wolverines' first loss of the sea- son. The loss came at an invitational the Wolverines have won ever since it began in 1987. "Overall, we had a couple of good races - no one (on our team) had an awful race by any means," Barber said. Michigan's runners did finish strong- ly, despite the four-point loss. Freshman Elizabeth Kampfe placed sixth overall for the Wolverines, while sophomore Katie McGregor came in ninth. Freshmen Marcy Akard and Allison Noe were not far behind with ninth- and 11 th- place finishes, respectively. Barber placed 12th overall. The Wolverines' best efforts were not enough to beat the Eagles, however, whose top three runners placed two- three-four. 'We talked about how we can't let up at any of the meets, (but) we weren't thinking about Eastern, really," Barber said. "We didn't go in thinking 'easy win,' but it's hard when you're not expecting (to lose)." Softball The Michigan softball team hosted Eastern Michigan, Wayne State and Toledo in the Wolverine Classic at Alumni Field this weekend. Michigan was not a very good host, however, as it won all four of its games. Michigan coach Carol Hutchins was happy with her squad's efforts over the weekend. "We were very focused and we hit the ball hard," Hutchins said. "We were also very good on defense. We didn't let errors lead to big innings." In the first game against Eastern Michigan, the Wolverines jumped ahead, 7-0, after two innings. Michigan did not let up as it mercied the Eagles, 12-2, in the sixth inning. The Wolverines continued their dom- inance in the second game of the day, defeating Wayne State, 9-0. The game remained close for the first few innings, but the Wolverines scored five runs in the fourth inning to turn it into a blowout. On Sunday morning, the Eagles took an early 5-1 lead after two innings, but the Wolverines, came storming back to win, 6-4. In their fourth and final game, the Wolverines shut out Toledo, 4-0. - B.J Luria Men's tennis The second leg of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Grand Slam kicks off this week in Austin, Texas at the All- American Championship. The Michigan tennis team will be represented by Arvid Swan, the team's highest ranked player. However, Swan will need to play well in the qualifying rounds tomorrow and Wednesday in order to place into the main draw, beginning Oct. 17. "This tournament will give me a chance to challenge myself against some real good players,' Swan said. The second of four Grand Slams, the All-American Championship is one of the most competitive and prestigious tournaments of the year. "All the best players in the nation will be there," Swan said. "The competition will certainly be great." Ranked third in Region IV, Swan placed out of the pre-qualifying rounds, but he still will need to survive as one of only four players to qualify to the main draw. "The competition in Austin will be very tough," Michigan coach Brian Eisner said. "The tournament is a single elimination, so Arvid will have to win four matches to make the main draw." Eisner appears optimistic about Swan's possibility to qualify. "Arvid is absolutely capable of mak- ing the main draw" Eisner said. "We wouldn't send (Swan) if he didn't have a chance to qualify." -Jordan Field MINNESOTA Continued from Page 11A come by Friday against the Nittany Lions. Scoring opportunities were tough to come by as both teams displayed stingy defense. Even though Penn State narrowly squeaked out a victory, the Wolverines dominated most, if not all, of the game. "(Penn State) had three opportunities, basically," Karen Montgomery said. "We had so many more shots than they did. Everyone's individual defense was great. It was just a matter of scoring. We dominated that game, definitely." Penn State's only goal of the game came the 16:30 mark of the first half from sophomore midfielder Courtney Lawson. She drilled a 30-yard shot into the upper left corner of the net past Michigan goalkeeper Jessica Jones. The Wolverines' inability to hit the net was not because of a lack of shot attempts, a circumstance that hindered them in their games against Washington and Portland. The Wolverines outshot Penn State, 24-16 and had numerous scoring oppor- tunities right infront of the Lions' net. In Friday's game, the Wolverines more than doubled all of the shots on goal they had the previous weekend in Seattle. But many of Michigan's problems came as a result of not being aggressive on offense and attacking their oppo- nent's goal. There were many times dur- ing the game where the Wolverines were able to generate a fast break, but their weak passing game would allow Penn State's defense to recover and break up many of Michigan's shots. "I think that we need more fury towards the goal," Montgomery said. "I think that we just need to get down and dirty and get the ball into the goal. That is a definite weakness." Michigan had a few excellent attempts on goal from Limauro as well as Berendowsky and freshmen Emily Schmitt, but the Penn State goalkeeper. made impressive saves in order to pre- serve the shutout. Berendowsky saw a lot of action in the first half as she had a few opportuni- ties to create some plays in front of the net. She had control of the ball and sent- the ball in front of the goal, but no Michigan player was there to knock it in for a score. Missed opportunities and poor shoot- ing was the result of many of these mis- cues. "We had great opportunities, nic plays, nice build up but our shots wer not dangerous," Belkin said.
