14 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday October 10, 2000 LEFEVRE Continued from Page 11 With Michigan consistently attacking during the third period and the entire five-minute overtime, the ice became a bit chippy and rough in the Red Raiders' zone. Snow buildup around the crease gave Lefevre an advantage, because it inhibited the Wolverine snipers from cleanly deking and making their best moves on the Colgate netminder. Lefevre still had to contain Michigan's top scorers, trying to execute their best moves in five penalty shots in order to advance to the title game - with the only ones on the ice being a Wolverine, Lefevre and his father's memory. The Red Raiders goalie proved up to the challenge, shutting out all five of Michigan's shooters, including Andy Hilbert and Mike Cammalleri. "That's probably up there with one of the greatest moments I've had," said Lefevre. "It was a great feeling to take a win from them." It was especially redeeming for Lefevre and the Red Raiders, since Michigan ended their season in an over- time thriller at last year's NCAAs. Lefevre wasn't the starting goalie then. He split duties with Shep Harder, who graduated this past spring as Colgate's all-time leader in shutouts and goals against average. But it is now Lefevre s team, as he takes the prmarv responsibiity as start- ing goaltender for the No. 16 Red Raiders - and he doesn't mind the added pressure that comes with it. "I think I'm more confident in myself now that I'm the guy' Lefcevre said. "It makes me step it up a little more. And it helps that he knows he'll never be alone on the ice. "My dad's in my heart right now," Lefevre said. "He never missed a game and still will never miss a game." rA BRANDON SEDLOFF/Daily Colgate goalie Jason Lefevre stoned all five Michigan's players in last Friday's shootout, including center Mike Cammalleri. o1 Down the stretch There are at most four games left on the women's soccer schedule before the tournament.

"All of the (Big'en) teams are good," Michigan coach Debbie Belkin Rademacher said. "You don't go into a game saying 'We're going to win this one. How close is the Big Ten race? The Michigan women's soccer team is now 5-2 and has earned a tie for sec- ond place with Purdue and behind undefeated Penn State. The Wolverines have won two double-overtime games away at Iowa and Purdue. Two wins that could have gone the other way. But both of their Big Ten losses were by the identical score - one to zero. Two losses that could have gone the other way. "In the Big Ten every game is going to be a challenge," senior Kacy Beitel said. "It is a quality league and you have to be disciplined." The depth of a league is often shown in the difference between the haves and the have-nots. Northwestern and Ohio State are cur- rently ninth and I Ith in the league with just one win apiece. Combined, one goal has decided nine of the teams' 13 games. They aren't the only teams playing close games. At fifth, Wisconsin is 5-3, with seven of their games being decided by one goal. Two of the Badgers losses have come in the final ten seconds of the game. The Big Ten "is still up for grabs," sophomore Abby Crumpton said. "Anyone can beat anyone on any given day." With the exception of Penn State- who has a commanding two-game lead over Michigan and has had just two close games - this has truly been the case. Iowa was pummeled 5-1 by Minnesota, who in turn was beaten by Michigan 4-0. But the Hawkeyes defeated the Badgers. Michigan State fell to Illinois, who was embarrassed at home by Michigan. The Big Ten Tournament begins Nov. 2, less than a month away and every team is down to their last few confer- ence games. How close is the Big Ten? All but two of this weekend's ten conference games were decided by just one elusive goal. Stickers fight through adversity, injury for win By Courtenay Basile For the Daily The Michigan field hockey team's win Saturday against Central Michigan was not your ordinary Michigan victo- ries. True, the Wolverines did trample the Chippewas, 8-0, but it was hardly just another blowout. The game began with a strong Michigan drive, three of the goals were scored within the first 10 minutes. After that, the goals started coming sporadi- cally after missed penalty corners. To make up for the lack of excitement on the field, plenty of distractions were provided on the sidelines. Halfway through the second half, sev- eral of the sprinklers around Ocker Field suddenly began spouting water every- where, completely drenching the Michigan bench. The field trainer forgot that there was a came scheduled for Saturday, so he accidentally pro- grammed the sprinklers to go off during the game. The few sprinklers near the bleachers were soon shut off but the one near the Michigan bench flowed through the rest of the half. The players and coaches had to stifle the water with sev- eral ball buckets nearby, holding down the buckets over the sprinkler. Players on the field had to ignore the antics on the sidelines to focus on continuing the game. "We just kept telling ourselves that it was only raining," freshman Molly Powers said. Soon after the sprinklers went off it started to snow, startling to some, but not to others. Young childen in the stands started cheering, everyone else started moaning. Along with the groans and moans from the bleachers came a couple of injuries on the playing field. Freshman April Fronzoni got hit in the leg during a penalty corner and had to be helped off the field. And sophomore Krista Meckley was also injured during a penalty corner. The most horrific injury, however, occurred to Central Michigan defender Katrina Wozneck during yet another penalty corner. She was struck in the head when a shot by Freshman Kristi Gannon deflected off a stick in the cir- cle. She fell immediately and had to be carried off the field by her coach and trainer. "I feel really awful about that horrible injury happening to the Central Michigan team," Michigan coach Marcia Pankratz said. "It couldn't have come at a worse time either. They have endured many injuries already this sea- son and their coach said to me before the game that if two more players were injured during this game, they would have to pack up and go back home because they wouldn't be able to field a team."
