12 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, October 16, 1996 Chips just a stone to step on-. The Michigan field hockey team could swing freely yesterday against Central Michigan, but the Wolverines' future opponents won't be so cushy. Michigan - which only has one conference victory - plays its reamaining five games against Big Ten teams. JOSH BIGGS/Daily By Pranay Reddy Daily Sports Writer Following the Michigan field hockey team's 4-0 victory over Central Michigan yesterday, co-captain Michelle Smulders explained her team's disposition following two weekend loss- es to conference rivals Iowa and Northwestern. "We had a meeting (Monday)," she said. "And we decided that the season is totally in our hands. "We have to use building blocks to get from now to the Big Ten tournament." After yesterday's stomping of the Chippewas, it looks like the Wolverines were prepared to make their climb out of the depths of the Big Ten. However, after having played the rest of the conference and coming out with a 1-4 record, the Wolverines look to have a long road ahead of them as they play the back end of a difficult Big Ten season. "We didn't play particularly well against Iowa and Northwestern," Michigan coach Marcia Pankratz said. "We had to really sit down and re-evaluate our goals for the rest of the season. We did that and put a positive twist on the weekend and tried to learn from it." With only Big Ten foes looming on the Wolverines' schedule, Michigan had to begin its resurrection with a non-conference win. The team did just that yesterday and seems excited to continue forward rather than dwell on the past. "We are definitely going to be fired up (in the future),' Smulders said. "We are looking to play great as a team. We have been passing the ball really well in the midfield, as well as push- ing the ball (upfield)." Despite her team's success against Central Michigan, Pankratz stills feels there is plenty of work to be done before the Wolverines head to East Lansing on Sunday to face Michigan State. "I think first of all mentally, we need to stay focused for 70 minutes" she said. "We have lapses where we're not disciplined with our par- ticular jobs." Mental lapses go unnoticed against over- matched squads like Central Michigan, but Pankratz knows this is anything but the case against the likes of Michigan State, Iowa and the rest of the Big Ten. "You make a mental error today, and you can kind of get away with it," she said. "If you make a mental error against Michigan State, you are going to pay." So far this season, Michigan has given more than its share of dough to the rest of the confer- ence, but Michigan State still seems to be wait- ing for payday. The Wolverines beat the Spartans in Ann Arbor earlier this season, 4-3. The win was the first ,in the Big Ten for Michigan this year, and the Wolverines are pre- pared to make the Spartans their second as well. "We have a (five-game) season now, and we just have to make the most of it," Helber said. SHUTOUT Continued from Page 11 Ewert, giving Michigan a 3-0 lead. With the game well in hand, Pankratz emptied the bench, as Ashley Reichenbach, Shelley Johnson, Erika Lorenson and Jamie Robbins all entered the game. While Central Michigan only mus- tered four shots in the game, 10 different Wolverines contributed to Michigan's gaudy total of 29. Despite the mass exodus of reserves, Smulders remained in the game to give the final blow to the overmatched Chippewas. Her second goal, the Wolverines' final tally, typified the type of day it was for Central Michigan. The play started like most others in the game - with Smulders rifling a shot toward a Central Michigan goalkeeper. However, Ewert was able to make a seemingly nice play, by trapping the ball. A nice play in ice hockey, but in field hockey, an illegal one. The ensuing penalty shot gave Smulders her team- leading ninth goal of the season.

By Peter Brensilver For the Daily Tom Dolan, the Michigan swimmer who overcame exercise-induced asthma to capture a gold medal at this past sum- mer's Olympiad, will speak tonight ata "Family Asthma Night" program at the Michigan Medical Center at 7:30 p.m. The program titled "Exercise, Asthma, and Athletics" is sponsored by the American Lung Association, the Michigan Pediatric Pulmonary Section, and Rhone-Poulene Rorer Pharmaceuticals Inc. Other speakers at the program will include assistant Olympic and Michigan men's swimming coach Jon Urbanchek and Michigan pediatric asthma fellow Wan Chon Tsai. Dolan's personal physician Marti Hurwitz, who is a clinical assistant pro- fessor of pediatrics, and asthma special- ist, will be on hand to moderate the pro- gram and answer questions. "There are approximately 15-20 mil- lion individuals with asthma when you include those with exercise-induced asthma," Hurwitz said. "The perma- nence of Michigan athletes in the Olympics, particularly the ones who ar, asthmatic, really demonstrated that peo pie who have what can be considered disabilities can actually perform at extremely high levels and function very well:" In citing Michigan athletes with asth- ma who participated in the Olympics, Hurwitz was referring to Dolan and sil- ver medal-winner Tom Malchow. "We're just going to go and talk about athletics, especially about what we do for asthmatic people in a program liJ4 swimming," Urbanchek said. The appearance of Dolan and Urbanchek should be valuable in a pro- gram of this nature. "Tom and coach Urbanchek are high- profile individuals. Their experiences with asthma, the coach talking about his dealings with asthmatic athletes and Tom from his personal experience I think will be inspirational to the kids that will be there and to the athletes and coaches th will be coming;' Hurwitz said. The program will take place at the Kellogg Eye Center auditorium, 1000 Wall St. The discussion is free of charge PARADISE Continued from Page 11 league standings. Instead, they are already out of the Rose Bowl race with two conference losses. "I think it's obvious that we can com- pete with people like (Ohio State)," Alvarez said. "But you have to find a way to win games." THE WACKER BEAT: Minnesota coach Jim Wacker is one of the conference's most popular coaches. But he'll be gone after the season if his team doesn't win five games. Wacker is under a contract in which he has agreed to step down if the Gold* Gophers don't win five games this season. Minnesota is currently 3-2 with its most winnable remaining games coming Saturday against Michigan State and Nov. 16 against Illinois. m -i
