12A - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 5, 2000 MEN Continued from Page 12A corner kick sailed long, it was headed back into the box and Turpin found him- self in the right place at the right time. He got his head on the ball and sent it toward the goal line, but a swarm of opposing defender's cleared the shot. "The ball was right there, and I had the chance," Turpin said. "We had a lot of chances and took it to them all night, we just weren't able to finish" Finally, with 1:16 remaitning, Robinson cauht hthe Western Mici 'an defense sleeping. On a direct kick lie beat Smith on a shot to the near post. The game headed to overtime and after 19:34 of play Michigan put the game away. Freshman Tom Gritter snuck a shot under the diving goalkeeper's arm. "The ball sailed over the defenders head and came down right on my foot. I just concentrated on putting the ball in the back of the net," Gritter said. "It makes for a great win." Top teams want to avoid upset bug WOMEN Continued from Page 11A Michigan had It corner kicks. Finally, with five minutes left in the I-I tie, Wilson beat Oakland goalkeep- er Sarah Buckland to the right corner of the goal, giving Michigan a 2-I lead. The tie-breaking goal was Wilson's second of the day. With Oakland desperately trying to tie the game with five minutes left, Michigan's dynamic offense struck again. Only 22 seconds after Wilson's goal, forward Abby Crumpton accept- ed a Stephanie Chavez feed and rifled a shot past Buckland for Michigan's clinching goal. For Michigan, the nail-biter was not totally unexpected. The Wolverines had not experienced much success outside of conference play, going 2-3. "We knew Oakland would come out hard," Rademacher said. "Our non- conference games are key." Sunday, Michigan takes on its sec- ond intrastate rival, Michigan State (2- 2-1 Big Ten, 7-2-2 overall). The Wolverines sit one game behind first place Penn State (4-0, 10-2-1) in the conference. Despite the enormity of the Oct. 13 showdown with No. 6 Penn State, the Wolverines are savvy enough not to overlook a fired-up rival in Michigan State. "The Penn State game will definite- ly be a big game, but if we lose to Michigan State, it's not going to mat- ter," Wilson said. By Adam McQueen For the Daily The Big Ten enters the third week of conference play following a wild week- end of shock- ing upsets Across the Minnesota, Penn State and D lE Northwestern all used the underdog role to their advan- tage. This week has a number of key games that will set the tone for the rest of the season. With upsets proving to be com- monplace this year, it will take some unbelievable performances to raise eye- brows. No. 7 Oto STAT (4-0, 1-0) Ar No. 22 WIscONsIN (3-2, 0-2): Wisconsin looks to rebound this week after losing its second-straight game in the closing moments. The undefeated Buckeyes will be in Madison this Saturday plan- ning to continue their winning ways after a bye week. If Wisconsin loses, it will run their losing streak to three, something the Badgers haven't seen since the 1997 season. Michael Bennett's rushing skills will be tested this week by the talented Ohio State defensive line. The aptly named "Silver Bullet" defense leads the Big Ten in rush defense, allowing only 92 yards per game. Wisconsin coach Barry Alvarez will have to dig deep into his playbook to find offense after a poor perfor- mance against Michigan last week. Ohio State junior quarterback Steve Bellisari will look to his talented receiving corps of Reggie Germany and Ken-Yon Rambo for some big plays against the Wisconsin defense. Rambo - who, at 190 pounds, is no match for Stallone - is eyeing his sec- ond 100-yard receiving game of the season. The Badgers will remain in a state of depression and let another fiercely con- tested game slip away. Ohio State 24, Wisconsin 21 INDIANA (2-2, 1-0) AT No. 24 NoRTHWESTERN (4-1, 2-0): The upstart Wildcats return home this week after two upset victories on the road, earning them a national ranking for the first time in more than three years. The Northwestern spread offense has kept defenses guessing all year. Antwaan Randle-El leads the Indiana offense into battle after he rushed for 187 yards and two touch- downs last week against Iowa. He'll need some help from junior tailback Levron Williams if the Hoosiers want to post some big numbers in Saturday's game. Indiana's defense has been anything but stellar and will struggle to contain Damien Anderson, who ran for 219 yards and added two long touchdowns in the Wildcats' win over Michigan State last weekend. In a game that looks to be an offen- sive showcase, expect to see a plethora of points. Northwestern will rise to the occasion again and continue its Cinderella season. Northwestern 45, Indiana 31 PNN STATE (2-4, 1-1) AT MINNEsoTA (3-2. 1-1): Riding high after an emotional win over Purdue, Joe Paterno and his Nittany Lions look to continue their newfound success against the Golden Gophers. Minnesota enters the game coming off of a huge win against fading Illinois. Newly promoted starting quar- terback Travis Cole will lead the Gophers offense, which is focused around the running of Tellis Redmon. Redmon piled up 300 total yards and tore apart the Illinois defense last week. Paterno might love to put a helmet on and stick the Minnesota offense him- self, but Florida State is the only team in the nation that utilizes aged players. Joe Pa will have to rely on another valiant effort by his defense to get the win.

Shoegate scandal extends to Badger basketball team MADISON (AP) - Wisconsin sus- pended three basketball players, includ- ing two from its Final Four team, for eight games on yesterday for receiving unadvertised discounts at a shoe store Maurice Linton and Trvon Davis and women's player Krista Bird mus@ sit out eight games, close their accounts at the store and repay more than $500 in benefits each received to retain their eligibility, the school said. Another 37 athletes who received extra benefits at the store in Black Earth won't miss any games. But they must close their accounts and repay the amount of the extra benefit to a local charity. Sixteen of those athletes who received benefits of between $100 and S299 also must perform 24 hours of community service. - The university's action yesterday brings the number of Badger athletes disciplined for receiving s bstania discounts on shoes and clothing at the Fighting Irish insert freshman as quarterback SOUTH BEND, Ind. (U-WIRE) - Less than 20 days after reporters gath- ered around Gary Godsey, asking him' any question imaginable, after "In Godsey We Trust" T-shirts wee plenti- ful around campus, and after the 6- foot-7 quarterback led the Iinsh to a last-second victory over Purdue, he walked silently away from practice Monday. The media's new favorite subject is Matt LoVecchio, the 6-foot-2 freshman signal caller from New Jersey All three local television sports per- sonalities and several newspaper beat- writers surrounded LloVecchio after Monday's two-hour practice. How times have changed. Though coach Bob Davie has made no official statement on who:will start against Stanford, all public indications point toward LoVecchio being at thuW helm. On numerous occasions since the Michigan State game, Davie has allud- ed to the offense slack of production this season and the need to diversify a stagnant scheme. The Irish rank second-to-last in the nation in passing offense (9.5yard per game) and 106th out of 114 Division I-A teams in total offens. (249.ysards per game).
