Consider this: Ohio State is ranked No. 14 in the nation, The Buckeyes confer- ence record: 4-3. The Michigan women's volleyball team is taking on Ohio State tonight in Columbus, and tomorrow the Wolverines will visit fifth-ranked Penn State, contin- uing their quest to play every top-25 team this season. Ohio State (4-3 Big Ten, 15-3 overall) and Penn State (5 2, 16-2) will be the eighth and ninth ranked teams Michigan (2-4, 7-10) has faced this year. After this weekend nearly half of the Wolverines' mhatches will have been against teams ranked in the top-25, Michigan has never won in Columbus (0-15) or in State College (0-6). "They are two pretty different teams," Michigan coach Greg Giovanazi said. "We need to work on our side-out ;game, staying steady when they are serving. That's where we really broke down (last Saturday)." The Buckeyes have defeated Michigan 17 consecutive times dating back to 1987, and have a 30-4 lead in the all-time series. Qhio State beat Penn State in five games Wednesday, 8-17, 10-11, 14-10, 17 10, 17-15, in a match played using a special format for television. The Lady Lions were No, 2 in the polls until they lost to Michigan State last Friday, and will probably drop further avter their loss to the Buckeyes. But they are still a very formidable opponent. Michigan's only win against Penn State in 12 tries was a come-from-behind, five-game victory in the final regular season match of last season. The Lady Lions were ranked No. 8 at the time, and remain the highest-ranked team Michigan has ever defeated. Last Friday, the Wolverines nearly matched that record by defeating ninth- I 1220 S. 1 University She665-7777 RESTAURANT 0 SPORTS RAN 2() ranked Wisconsin in three straight, 15- 12, 1'5-7, 15-12. A team can't relax at all a ter a win in the Big Ten, thoughI, as Michigan discou- ered Saturday. Minnesota jumped out in front of the Wolverine~s early and went on to a 15-12, 15-6, 15-1 1 victory. "We blocked very poory,' Giovanazzi said. "We hlit high numbers but, we did- n't do the little things against Minnesota that we did against Wisconsin." This weekend, Michigan will need the total team effort it got against Wisconsin. The Michigan offense is led by sopho- more Karen Chase, who tops the team with 202 total kills and a 3.65 kills per, game average. The other leading Wolverine attackers are junior Sarah Jackson (3.38 kpg) and senior Shareen Luze (3.07 kpg). On defense, sophomore Linsey Ebert (57 blocks) and Jackson (49 blocks) will try to close down the hitting lanes, while Luze (138 digs) and Jeanine Szczesniak (137 digs) go after any ball that gets through. 23:z .A1 Drat 1.
