The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, September 15, 1998 - 11 .Michigan soccer looks to shoot down Eagles By Mark Francescutti Daily Sports Writer Whether it's a prom date or a Michigan soccer game, whoever controls the tempo controls the situation. So when the 16th-ranked Wolverines (4-0) travel to Eastern Michigan for a 4 p.m. matchup with the Eagles (3-2) this afternoon, tempo will be critical. After all, Eastern likes to play a physical game with a long-ball attack. Michigan, on the other hand, likes to use its speed and passing game to its advantage. If Eastern can bully the Wolverines for the entire 90 minutes, it might be able to pull off a win. Otherwise the -Eagles might end up like Detroit did this weekend. Sunday, the Titans prevented Michigan from getting into the rhythm they wanted, and except for two costly "mistakes, largely controlled Michigan's high-powered offense for the first half. But controlling Michigan tired the Titans in the second half, and Michigan took over the match en route to a 3-1 *ictory. Michigan coach Debbie Belkin was a little concerned at first with the struggling Michigan offense, but knew that eventually the Wolverines would be able to overtake the Titans. "Detroit came out in a formation that didn't allow us to move, so we had to get into a physical battle with them, which is their game," Belkin said. "But once we figured things out we got our chances." Belkin didn't have to worry too much, with the ichigan defense allowing just six shots. Still, physical play always poses a threat for Michigan. Eastern plays much like Detroit, and therefore Belkin wants to force the Eagles to play Michigan's style. "They are always a real physical team," Belkin said. "One of our strengths is our passing, so we are going to try and make it into a running game. "We are going to make them play our style, and they are going to have to adjust to our game." Not only is Michigan a deeper team offensively and defensively, but it also has history on its side. The Wolverines have dominated Eastern in the past three years with 5-1, 7-1 and 4-0 victories over the Eagles. Eastern must also stop junior forward Emily Schmitt, who has three goals and an assist in the teams' past two meetings. Junior forward Jessica Limauro also has a goal in each of those meetings. But the Eagles might have .one advantage - Eastern Michigan coach Paul Scicluna coached many of the Wolverines in club soccer. Many of the players on both teams have played with each other before. "We played club with a lot of those girls, and they're just solid players. They're aggressive, they hustle," junior Mari Hoff said. "Their coach is our old club coach. He knows us too well." Still, Hoff said she believes that if the Wolverines can halt the physical play and strike first against the Eagles, it will be another blowout for Michigan. "If we score right away it will definitely get us going," Hoff said. The Wolverines are hoping to start off with a win against Eastern to get their three-game road trip off to a good start. Big Ten rivals Wisconsin and Penn State await the Wolverines for matches later in the week. WANTWTOWRITE SPORTS FOR THE DAILY? COME TO OUR MASS MEETING TONIGHT AT 7:30 P.M.

IOC pressures baseball to make andro illegal SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - The k IOC plans to lobby baseball and other rofessional sports in the United States to conform with the Olympics' drug policy, including a ban on the muscle-building compound used by slugger Mark McGwire: International Olympic Committee medical director Patrick Schamasch confirmed yesterday that he would meet with Major League Baseball officials to encourage them to adopt the IOC's list of banned substances. "I don't want to focus on one sub- stance, but I will say, 'Let's harmo- nize the list,"'Schamasch said. McGwire, who hit his 62nd home run last week to break Roger Maris' record, has acknowledged that he has used the supplement androstenedione for the past year. Andro, as it is popularly known, was added to the IOC's banned list last year under the category of ana- olic androgenic steroids. . Androstenedione is classified as a "precursor" to testosterone, the male hormone. s . The product is converted to testos- terone in the body, helping build muscle mass and speed recovery from workouts. While andro also is banned by the NCAA, the NFL and many interna- tional federations, it is not prohibited by Major League Baseball. Androstenedione is sold over the counter in the United States as a dietary supplement. McGwire has denied doing any- thing wrong, saying andro was per- fectly safe and legal and used by many other major leaguers. IOC officials, gathered in Seoul for executive board meetings, said the use of andro should be prohibited in all sports. Anita DeFrantz, who as IOC vice president is the highest-ranking American in the Olympic movement, said she was worried about the moral example set by McGwire. "I care about kids," she said. "In my working life, I serve youth through sports. I worry children will think, 'OK, here's how you break all the records.' What they don't know is how hard you still have to work. "We never see people training, we see them competing. I hope Mr. McGwire will talk about the hours he spends in the weight training rooms as well as perfecting his skills on the field of play. Just taking pills doesn't make a superb athlete. It's the other work." Since news of McGwire's use of andro became public, sales of the supplement reportedly have soared in the United States. DeFrantz is concerned about the long-term health effects of andro. "The scary part is we don't know what it does to you," she said. "It's not regulated. It's not considered any- thing the FDA regulates. I don't want kids to be taking this stuff, or adults. We don't know how people react to it." Under IOC rules, McGwire would be considered a drug cheat and kicked out of the Olympics if he test- ed positive for andro at the games. "I think the message is wrong," said Jacques Rogge, vice president of the IOC medical commission. "I think every sport, whether profes- sional or amateur, should make rules that stop athletes from taking doping agents. It's a matter of the credibility and image of the sport." Schamasch expressed confidence that baseball eventually will ban androstenedione. "Baseball didn't say you are allowed to take it," he said. "It is not prohibited, but they they never said it is allowed. I'm sure baseball will move toward our direction. It takes time." Schamasch said he also will meet with officials of other U.S. profes- sional sports, including the NBA, NFL and NHL, to encourage them to follow the IOC's drug rules. DeFrantz noted that IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch has criti- cized U.S. professional leagues for not doing enough to crack down on steroids and other performance- enhancing drugs. She said pro sports are concerned primarily with entertainment while in the Olympics, athletes take an oath to compete with integrity. "I don't think (pro athletes) do that," DeFrantz said. "The mission is to entertain. It's a set of ethical issues people in professional sports in the U.S. need to address. They need to consider what they're asking of their athletes " university of Wisconsin-Platteville" "if yel have built casTh.s in he air, yur wrA nidnot be Iet. ~lI Gut is I~erv. they s/idd be.F w p:i ie foundations underlthee,,." -herry David nbrcau Learn Your Way Around The World " Study abroad 3n England, Mexico, Japan, or Spain " Courses in liberal arts and international business " Fluency in a foreign language jWj required * Home-stays or dorms with meals * Field trips " Financial aid applies (except for summer session) Program Costs: * For tuition, room, board and field trips per semester (for Wisconsin residents/non-residents) " In London, England: $4675/$4975 * In Puebla, Mexico: $5275/$5575 * In Nagasaki, Japan: $4075/$4375 * In Seville, Spain: $5975/$6275 Applic:tion deadlines: e April 1 for summer session .
