After playing well during the first two roi
0hd young Wolverines struggled over the
18'holes to finish eighth among the 12-t
field~
After the first two rounds of 285 and 28,
Friday, Michigan was tied for fourth wi
one-over-par team score of 569. But,
W44varines had a rough Saturday aften
awarded a score of 300, dropping them
eilt plqce with a 54-hole total of 869.
- ts unexplainable to shoot that badly in
fifma round," Michigan coach Jim Carras
"Its a reasonably simple golf course, wl
i you lose a lot of ground when you
al)I31ay like that."
.Tbanament host Minnesota easily won
tdhd nment with a team total of 822, 16 sl

LSU wins
A'BURN, Ala. (AP) - Who needs
1cvi Faulk when Louisiana State has
f t ,field position and turnovers?
K Faulk was held to 88 yards rushing
Saturday and had his mark of six
IrIight 100-yard games snapped, but
thce§venth-ranked Tigers beat Auburn
31-19.
Auburn planned 411 along to take
Faulk out of the game - and just about
succeeded. But the Tigers found ways
to win without ,Faulk, especially with
the help of four Auburn turnovers.
"When you spot them 14 and lose by
12, that's as close as you're going to
set,' Auburn coach Terry Bowden said.
W Herb Tyler threw a 6-yard touchdown
pass to Kyle Kipps with 5:27 left to seal
the victory for Louisiana State (2-0
overall, 1-0 Southeastern Conference).
With the Tigers leading 25-19, Chris
Cummings intercepted a pass by
Aubin quarterback Ben Leard on
Auburn's 46. Faulk then gained 26
yards on five carries to set up the
clinching touchdown.
"We didn't always take advantage of
rnovers," LSU coach Gerry DiNardo
said-"But we did when we had to."
The Tigers led 19-17 at halftime and

Harris sandwiched his 64 between rounds of
72 and 74. His 3-under par total of 210 led the
Wolverines and was 11i th best among the tour-
nament's 66 competitors.
"The delight of the trip" for Carras' team
was true freshman Andy Mathews. Playing in
his first college tournament, Mathews fired a
team-low score of 68 in the opening round,
despite bogeying the final two holes. ie fol-
lowed that with scores of 71 and 74, giving
him an even-par total of 213 and tying him for
20th place.
"He has everything you look for in a player:
the desire to compete, the ability, and great
composition for a freshman," Carras said.
Carras was especially pleased with
Mathews' performance because he knows how
overwhelming it can be for a freshman to com-
pete at this level.
"It's very difficult (for a freshman to play in
his first tournament)," Carras said. "This is the
first time at the NCAA level where they play
for more than just themselves. They're play-
ing for the entire team."
Mathews was one of just two freshman who
made the trip to Minnesota last weekend.
Kyle Kilcherman did not perform as well by
carding a score of 227 (76-75-76), leaving him
in 57th position.
One of the 'veterans' for this inexperienced
squad who traveled to Minnesota was sopho-
more Scott Hayes, yho saw some varsity
action last year.
H ayes showed flashes of brilliance during
the first round by shooting a 69, despite play-
ing the 17th and 18th holes in three-over par.
He finished the weekend at 219 (69-74-76),
good for a 36th-place finish.
The Wolverines' fifth player last weekend
was junior Mike Affeldt. Although he is a
junior, Afl1dt does not have much varsity
exper incne. I1 posted three rounds of 76 in
the Northern Intercollegiate, giving him a 54-
hole total of 228 and leaving him in 59th
place.
Wi fh eightt o he 12 Northern
lncrcnietate teams coming from the Big
Ten, Ist weekend u ce the Wolverines a
chance 1o see how thei young team matches
up aganst future compettors. 1 he Big Ten
Champ ionsh ips x il e held on this same
course ( Les Bolstai Country Club) in May.
Michigan fiished ixth of the eight Big Ten
competitors, but entered the final round only
two shots out of second place.
This young team pro ed on Friday that it
can coipete with some of the best teams in
the conference if it can develop more consis-
tency.
The Wolverines resume tournament play
this weekend at the Iowa Invitational in Iowa
City, Iowa.

had a chance to blow the game open in
the third quarter, but twice failed to
capitalize on excellent field position.
Tyler was stopped on a fourth-and-1
on Auburn's 17. One possession later,
Louisiana State moved to the Auburn 8,
but Tyler fumbled and the ball was
recovered by Auburn's Rob Pate.
"There were times when we could
have been a little better. so we could
separate ourselves, but we just didn't
get it done" DiNardo said. "We made a
lot of mistakes, but I think they are cor-
rectable."
LSU wouldn't be denied after gain-
ing excellent field position a third time.
