The Michigan Daily - SPORTSMonday - October 6. 1997 - 78 Spartans snap 'M' stickers win streak By B.J. Leia Daily Sports Writer You win some and you lose some. The Michigan field hockey team came to that conclusion this weekend after defeating St. Louis, 6-0, on Saturday and falling to Michigan State in East Lansing on Sunday, 3-2. The overtime loss - Michigan's first defeat in the Big Ten - knocked the Wolverines to 10-3 on the season and 2- 1 in the Big Ten. Michigan is 1-1 in over- time games this season. Despite being able to rest most of their starting players in Saturday's blowout at Ocker Field, the Spartans were able to stop Michigan's winning streak at five games. "It was a typical Michigan versus Michigan State field hockey match," Michigan coach Marcia Pankratz said. "This has become an outstanding rivalry in this sport." After Michigan State's Sarah Wilson forced overtime with a goal 12:07 into the second half, the Spartans' Rayna Hiscox broke the Wolverines' collective hearts with an overtime goal. The win- ner came with 4:31 remaining in the first overtime period. "We had two shots that would have been goals but they were blocked by defenders," Pankratz said. Meredith Weinstein opened the scor- ing for the Wolverines on Sunday. Michigan has made a habit of opening up early leads in games this season, and Sunday's game was no exception. Weinstein's goal came just three minutes into the game. The Spartans tied the score at one with a goal from Jill Lusher at 21:39, but the Wolverines regained the lead less than two minutes later when Julie Flachs scored on a penalty stroke. It was Flachs's fourth goal of the weekend and 21st of the season. With her last goal, Flachs tied the Michigan record for goals in a season and has seven more regular season games to break the record. Her three goals on Saturday helped Michigan shutout St. Louis. She scored once each on an inside shot, a penalty corner and a penalty shot. While the seasoned senior was busy recording her third hat trick of the sea- son, a freshman scored the first goal of her collegiate career. Regan Wulfsberg closed the scoring for the Wolverines. "I don't get to play that much," Wulfsberg said. "So it's nice to con- tribute to the team and play a part in our win when I do get in." Also scoring goals for the Wolverines on Saturday were Lindsay Babbit, who scored the game-winning goal 47 sec- onds into the game, and Amy Philbrook.

After only one invitational, the Wolverines have great expectations for their future. Not only do they have a number of returning seniors, but they have a mber of experienced freshmen and sophomores who hope to increase the program's success. "The team looks like we have a lot of potential," said senior captain Lisa Labadie. "We had a solid per- formance this weekend, which will give us momentum to improve." The Wolverines swept the pairs race with first- second- and third- ljace finishes. whey also won the Club Eight race as well as the Four. The impressive showing is putting a sparkle in the eyes of the seniors, who say that this year they might ful- fill their goal of beating Brown. "This is something we've been dreaming of for years," Labadie said. "Every year the seniors have taken the program to higher levels. Before we leave we would like to continue M momentum." abadie also said that the experi- ence and tough work ethic of the underclassmen may contribute to attaining their goals. Melanie Duncan is one of the three underclassmen who participat- ed this weekend in the open-eight race. "I rowed for St. Catherine's in Ontario," Duncan said. "Where I'm from, we have huge competitive events. "At Michigan, we wake up at 5 a.m. We start rowing in the dark. We have a light on the boat. We get to see the sun rise." "On the varsity program, people have rowed at least for one or two years."~ Experience also is a factor for these Wolverines. "Most (underclassmen) have rowed in the summer and overseas," Labadie said. "They're really adding to the program." Even with all the weekend's excitement, the rowers could not keep their minds off of senior Jeanette Stawski, who faces back surgery tomorrow for a herniated disk. "We're really looking forward to her return," Labadie said. "We're all pulling for her and waiting for her to come back. She's ready to take this step and put things into action." Last spring, doctors told Stawski that she could either rest her back or have surgery. After resting over the summer, Stawski's condition did not improve, and she now hopes to join the team in the spring following a successful surgery. "She's a great leader and a great person," Duncan said. T-SH IR T SPRINTING LOWEST PRICES! HIGHEST QUALITY! * FASTESTSERVICE! * 1002 PONTIAC TR. g 994-1367 i WANT TO FLY?
