playoffs. Sosa did not homer, so he finished with 66.

CHICAGO (AP) -- All season long, Sammy Sosa won
games with the long ball. Last night, he kept the ball in
the park and on the ground as he sparked the Chicago
Cubs to a playoff berth.
Sosa's heroics throughout the season drew attention to
the surging Cubs, who, despite losing game No. 162 on

Practice
for title
defense

By David DenHerder
Daily Sports Writer
Red Berenson and his staff final-
ly hit the ice yesterday, rejoining
the defending champs at Yost Arena
after a summer of training, skating
and celebrating.
Following a week of captain's
conditioning practice, the
Wolverines held their first official
workout of the season.
"When coach (Berenson) gets on
the ice, you can tell," Michigan tri-
captain Bubba Berenzweig said.
"Everyone wants to start skating
hard and start performing to the
best of their ability. The first cou-
ple weeks you're just out there try-
ing to get your legs back and to feel
the ice ... but when the coaches get
out here, (Berenson) expects us to
be ready to go."
And those expectations are
understandable. While the maize
and blue faithful spent the summer
soaking up the glory of another
NCAA hockey title, Berenson was
already preparing for this Friday's
Blue-White game.
"A lot happens in the summer,
and we're without some players,"
Berenson said after practice yester-
day. "There are some big gaps on
the team when you don't have,
Turco and Muckalt and Matt Herr
... but it's a new team - new lead-
ers, captains and a new season.'
That being said, Berenson

Bubba 8erenzweig has played on two national championship teams, Including last year's championship squad. For the senior to get his third
national championship ring, he needs the incoming freshman, especially goalies Josh Blackburn and Kevin O'Malley, to play beyond their years.
Fre smen get their feet wet on the first day
By Mark Francoscutti
Daily Sp )rts Writer
Everyone goes through a lot of firsts. First, there's
babys firs atte", then "child's first book", and now
thee's"frshmn'sfirst Michigan hockey practice."
Wel, at least for a few people.
ThoEslce few are the six Hockey
freshman who join the Michigan
hockey team's quest to repeat as Notebook
NCA ampio.
L e ek at the CCHA media day, Michigan coach
Rd IEr;n onmented on his worries at the start of
A all, he had lost dominating players like
Brendan Morrison, Jason Botterill and John Madden
and more. Lftl in their wake were nine new freshman
utto he Wolverines overcame doubts and finished
No. 1.
The question this season:Can Michigan do it again?
Only time will tell, but at least the new freshmen
have their "big first" practice completed and out of the
way.
Freshman Craig Murray, even with a few nerves,
liked the Michigan way of practice.
"I like the unification of the guys, everybody works
with each other," Murray said. "I had a little bit of
nerves out there, first time you always want to
impress, but towards the end you feel more comfort-
able."
Many players expressed shock at the speed of the
practice.
"It's a change from what I'm used to. It's a lot more
intense out there," Murray said. "They work on every
little single detail. I'm going to learn a lot in the while
I'm here in the four years"
Murray, who normally plays center, may move to
winger to help the team build up that position.
"I might be moving to the wing, so I am trying td
get acquainted to pick up the puck along the board$
and making sure I getsthe puck out' Murray said.
Freshman Jeff Jillson knows what position he's
going to play - defense. His 6-foot-3, 220-pound
frame,.the largest on the team, gives an easy hint. --
Jillson liked the toughness of everyone on the first
day.
"Coming into such a great program, you expect
things to be tough," Jillson said. "Guys really- got i
shape, and it seems to be helping out on the ice."
For the Wolverines to succeed this season, they need
a goalie who can replace departed Marty Turco.
Freshman goalie Josh Blackburn, who has received
high praises from Berenson in possibly earning the
starting job, was pleased with his performance yester-
day.
"I think it went pretty good today, a pretty good first

"Well now, in winning, I certainly

smile. "Hopefully, it will be a
momentum builder for us in what we
can do. We needed a win against a
good football team."
That they did. Whether Michigan
ecan legitimately be termed a
go odfootball team" may be up for
debate, but not by the Wolverines.
They're treating the victory as the
boost they needed to get ready for
the grind of the Big Ten season.
