Michigan Schedule
As the top-ranked team in the
Women's Collegiate Lacrosse League
preseason poll, Michigan proved it is
the real deal Thursday night by
:crushing Calvin College, 19-6 at
Qosterbaan Fieldhouse.
With this victory, the Wolverines
finished the preseason undefeated,
including impressive victories over
Michigan State (8-4) and Toledo (15-
8).
With the regular season beginning
next week, the Wolverines seem to be
building momentum at the right time.
Sophomore Katie Heller led the
way in the scoring column by notch-
ing a remarkable double hat trick,
while freshman Hillary Vigdor was
right behind with five goals of her
own.
Other notable performances
included goalie Jen Zorza, who made
16 quality saves, and Alison Lam,
who won an amazing 25-of-28 draws.
Don't be fooled by individual perfor-
mances, though.
It was a total team effort on both
ends of the field.
The defense, anchored by senior
captain Megan Burpee, held the fort
against a very fast and sharp shoot-
ing Calvin offense. Although Calvin
Jumped out to a 2-0 lead, the
Wolverines' defense clamped down,
led by some spectacular saves by
Zorza.
"We stepped up as the game went
on, and did a good job of spreading
out and double teaming," Burpee
said.
As the defense took control of the
game, the Wolverines' offense finally
caught fire, scoring six unanswered
goals to take a 6-2 lead. It was the
Heller and Vigdor show, as both
notched two goals apiece, in between
,goals by Megan Olson and Rachel
Goldsmith.
Calvin cut the lead to 6-4, but that
was as close as they would get the
rest of the night. After a well-advised
time out by Michigan coach
Cristiana DelloRusso, the offense
once again came alive.
Heller and Vigdor continued their
scoring competition by exchanging
two goal barrages, staking Michigan
to a 10-4 lead.
Heller then took the scoring lead
by scoring once more off a beautiful

Defensemen hit in eye with stick, may lose vision
KANATA, Ontario (AP) - Toronto
Maple Leafs defenseman Bryan Berard,
hit in the eye by the stick of Ottawa's
Marian Hossa last night, could lose the
ability to see from his right eye, the Leafs
said yesterday.
Hossa was following through on a
shot when his stick struck Berard in the
eye during the second period of Toronto's
4-2 victory Saturday over the Senators.
Berard, in his fourth season in the
NHL, crumpled to his knees with his
forehead on the ice in a pool of blood. He
was taken from Corel Centre on a

feed from Megan Pearlman to make
it 11-4. Liz Mauck then scored off a
turnover to make it 12-4. Calvin
countered with a goal, but at the half
it was 12-5 Michigan.
Calvin scored a quick goal to begin
the second half, but the women
reeled off seven straight goals to put
the game away.
Heller, Vigdor, Lam, Elise
Halajian, Sarah Greene Burpee and
Dayna Santoro all scored goals. The
Wolverines then walked away with a
dominating,victory.
Despite the youth of the club,
expectations are high as the women
look to the regular season.
The focus is on making it to the
National Championships in North
Carolina, but the club has other
goals.
"All we want to do is get closer
together as a team, go out and have
fun. And if we do that, the wins will
come," Heller said.
With a team that has as much tal-
ent and potential as Michigan has0
the sky is the limit.
"We can only get better as we con-
tinue to work together," Vigdor said.
