CLUBSPORTSWEEKLY
Edited by Icif Phillips
Men's ice hockey club downs Falcons
- here's a Michigan hockey team that
plays its home games in Yost Arena, and
could possibly win a national champi-
onship. But the team is not coached by
Red Berenson and it does not routinely
pack the fabled venue. Rather it is
coached by Mike Radovich and it plays
in front of loyal friends and family
members.
The Michigan club hockey team has
been skating since Sept. 13. On that
date, they began their four-day tryout
session which culminated in the final-
ization of a 26-man roster. More than 50
people tried out for the team.
"We picked up a good core of new
players that will surely fill the gaps of
the seniors who left. They will give us a
good shot at winning it all," Jeremy
Motz said. The team finished 9th two
years ago and 3rd last year.
Thus far, Michigan has performed
formidably, posting a 4-1 record.
They also finished third in the pre-
season American College Hockey
Association Michigan Showcase last
weekend at Oakland University. The
tournament run included an intense
3-2 victory over intrastate rival
Michigan State. The season's only
loss came in a 5-3 battle with Central
Michigan.
This weekend saw Michigan dispos-
ing of Bowling Green Saturday by a
count of 4-1. The team has the national
tournament over spring break clearly
underlined, but they have a long season
consisting of 35 games. At this point
there are a core of top players but no
clear leader.
"We have a bunch of guys who have
a shot at leading us in scoring," Motz
said.
Going into the Bowling Green con-
test, Mike Gougherty led the squad with
eight points followed by Jeff Lang, who
had seven. Assistant captains Joe Kustra
and George Stien have provided crucial
leadership.
As for the packing the stadium, the
team hopes to see increased attendance
next Friday at 10 p.m. against Indiana
University of Pennsylvania and
Saturday at 7:30 p.m. against Colorado
State.
"We offer good competitive hock-
ey at Yost. We enjoy having all the
fans out there. And tickets are free
with a student ID," said Motz.

SEATTLE (AP) - Alex Rodriguez
brought Seattle's bats back to life, and
then the Mariners made sure the AL
Championship Series returned to the
Bronx.
With Seattle facing elimination,
Rodriguez revived his team with a co-
ahead, two-run single in the fifth inning.
Edgar Martinez andJohn Olerud fol-
lowed with consecutive homers that car-
ried Seattle over the New York Yankees
6-2 on yesterday, pulling the Marinersto
3-2 in the best-of-seven series.
The Yankees, trying to fulfill the AL
half of what would be the first Subway
Series since 1956, returned to New York
with their top two playoff pitchers
ready: Orlando Hernandez faces John
Halama in Game 6 Tuesday night, with
Andy Pettitte on reserve if there is a sev-
enth game the following day.
SOUTH BEND (AP) - Notre
Dame forward Troy Murphy said
Saturday he was not drinking at a local
bar when police caught him there with
fake identification.
"I was in the place and I had a fake
ID, but I wasn't drinking," Murphy
said. "I don't drink. It's disappointing
to look on the Internet to see I was
caught for underage drinking when I
don't drink. Everybody who knows me
knows I don't drink."
Murphy, 20, freshman teammate
Tom Timmermans, 19, and Irish foot-
ball player Gerome Sapp, 19, were
among the 147 minors cited Thursday
in a sweep of Finnigan's Bar.
Crowell out six to eight
PONTIAC (AP) - Detroit Lions
receiver Germane Crowell broke the
fifth metatarsal on his left foot in prac-
tice this past Friday.
Team spokesman Steve Reaven said
Crowell was running a pass pattern
when the injury occurred, and it was not
caused by contact with another player.
Crowell left the practice field on a
cart and was taken to the locker room
for preliminary X-rays. The early esti-
The Michigan women's gymnastics
team will host the 2001 Region 5 NCAA
Tournament on April 6 at Crisler Arena.
The Wolverines won the Region 5
championship last year to qualify for the
"Super Six," where they finished in sixth
place.
Michigan is one of six regional hosts.
The top two teams in each region quali-
fy for the NCAA Championships in
Atlanta.
Michigan will also host the Big Ten
Championships on March 24, 2001. The
Wolverines last hosted the Big Ten
Championship in 1993 when they won
their second of six straight Big Ten titles.

mate is that Crowell will miss six to
eight weeks.
Crowell had a breakout season in
1999, leading the Lions in receiving
with 81 catches for 1,338 yards and
seven touchdowns. He has 27 receptions
this season for 320 yards.
The injury comes at a particularly
bad time for the Lions, who travel to
Tampa Bay for a Central Division
matchup Thursday night.

Seniors Erin White and Katie Ryan
came in 13th and 14th, respectivel
Sophomores Jane Martineau and Katie
Easton finished 16th and I7th and
Lindsey Gallo and Rachel Sturtz fin-
ished 19th and 20th.
"We're deep, but we just got to get
our depth people running collectivelva
little better," Michigan coach Mike
McGuire said.
Everything about the meet ran
smooth except for the course.
The Michigan Golf Course is know
for being one of the hardest courses in
the nation.
This upcoming week should give th
Wolverines plenty of time to prepare
for their next invitational. Competing
against Washington opened the door
for improvements that need to be made
before the Wolverines head to Big Tens
on Oct. 29, a span of two weeks.
"We've got to get five or six people
feeling like they're the No. 5 runner,"
McGuire said. "We cannot get in th
situation where, once someone is the
No. 5 runner, everyone else defers thai
responsibility during the course of the
race.

Continued from Page 1B
Coming in second for Michigan was freshman Tom
Greenless, running 25:44 to finish 17th overall. Senior Tom
Caughlan (30th) , freshman John Hughes (36th) and sopho-
more Dave Cook (37th) rounded out the scoring for the
Wolverines.
Warhurst stressed that because Pilja is so far ahead, the rest
of the runners need to try and stay within a minute of him in
order to do well as a team.
"The bigger the race, the faster Pilja's going to run, and
that means the rest of the guys have to start running a little
faster," Warhurst said.
Among the spectators at the course were two of the top
high school runners in the country.
Dathan Ritzenhein, of Rockford, Mich., was the 1999
national high school cross country champion, while Alan
Webb, of Reston, Va., has run 4:03.33 in the mile. These
standouts, along with football coach Lloyd Carr, added to the
excitement on the course.
"We had some really good individuals," Warhurst said
about his runners. "We've got to run closer and relax."
Michigan will compete in the Eastern Michigan Open in
Ypsilanti this Friday, just one week before Big Tens.
When asked what the Wolverines were going to do in
preparation for Big Tens, Warhurst gave his golden advice.
"Run faster."
