1 The 1^ich , _, r Tuesday, Octr'hor 24, 2000 Sophomores use old ways to balance 'M' uScH Top 10 et. 23 By Joe Smith team's third line the past two weeks. The aily Sports W i duo tallied three of the Wolverines' goals When Ilobe Baker Award finalist Mike Cornie decided not to return this season, Michigan hockey coach Red Bcrenson said there was nothing to worry about since he knew his Wolverines Ween't just a one-man tean . Little did he know that Just six games into the season, the talk would be on how the loss of Comrie has led to the Wolverines being a more balanced team. with three lines that are oflensive threats ev-ery time they re on the ice. "'Not having a player like Conmrie giVes eve -v other player an opportunity to step up,- Berenson said. Tihis includes a talented sophomore class. Two in particular. John Shouneyia and Mark Mink, have emereed on the G . OUND in Friday's victory over Bowling Green. "They've had a good stag;" Berenson said. "I really like the way they play. They complement each other well and have been scoring some big goals for us." A major reason for their chemistry is that they've been on the same line togeth- er for the past nine years, dating back through their days in juniors when they won a national championship together- forming a close kinship along the way. "Our families are close and we've known each other for about 10 years," Shounevia said. "We're like brothers, knowing everything about each other:' This deep knowledge of each other helps them on the ice, as the playmaking Shounevia looks to find Mink -who Shounevia says has "one of the most accurate shots in the league." "I try to find himnShounevia said. "I ie shoots the puck real well, so Ijust try to find him and he buries it for me." Shounevia found him twice on Friday night, assisting on both of Mink's goals. "It's like he's got eyes in the back of his head;' Mink said about Shouneyia. "We can really read off each other and antici- pate each other's moves." This start - each has six points in six games ---- pleases Berenson since he was worried about the two before the season. "They just didn't look good in prac- tice," Berenson said. "They looked too comfortable and too lackadaisical. We were concerned they would go through a sophomore jinx." Berenson talked to the two early on and the duo responded with scoring touch on the third line and second power-play unit. There was never any question that sophomore forward Mike Cammalleri would repeat his impressive freshman peiformance when he scored 26 points. This season, Cammalleri is quarter- backing the power play and blocking shuts on the penalty kill unit - tallying 10 points already in this young season. Cammalleri is tied for second on the team in points with fellow sophomore Andv I filbert, who centers Josh Langfeld and Scott Matzka's line. This line not only includes the leading scorer (Langfeld with1 1 points), but three of 1 Wisconsin 31)6-0 2 Boston Co'. (5) 4-0-0 3 Michigan (3) 4-0-2 4 New H ampshire 4-0-1' 5 N.

"We're going to be a tough team to stop cause you can't focus on one line." Matzka said. "I see quite a few guys who can have 20 goals this year." Even with a balanced oftensive attack, Matzka's game winner only helped escape Sundav from a Bowling Green comeback in xwhich the Wolverines got complacent and sloppy after taking a 3-1 lead. The Wolverines didn't practice vester- dav, but went over the tape. Berenson said it "was definitely not a happy meeting.'' "I think our players were amazed at how poorly we played when they looked at the highlights' Berenson said. "They had to be a little embarrassed - we were lucky to survive that game" SOCCER Continued from Page 12 Amber Wilson and Stephanie Chavez have been proficient in producing scor- ing chances, but they have been spo- radic in their finishing ability. To upset the Irish. Michigan must bury their chances. ''ur offense has to be on, Rademacher said. The Wolverines' failure to capitalize on brcakaways doomed them in 1-4 losses to Wisconsin and Michigan State, as well as a 0-0 tie last weekend to ccl- lar-dwelling Northwestern. Each game., Michigan outshot its opponent. While Michigan's goal scoring skills have fluctuated, its goalkeeping has been solid. Both freshman Suzie Grech and senior career saves leader Carissa Stewart have been strong this year, giv- ing up an average ofjust 1.36 goals per game. Rademacher will not announceJ the starter for tomorrow's game .until gametime. While Notre Dame is an overwhelm- ing favorite, they must face the most dangerous kind of opponent_- a tal- ented team with nothing to lose. Though the task remains steep, it may be possible. A fearless effort by this young Michigan team could land Notre Dame in a precarious position - knotted in a close game with a.heavy underdog. From there, anything could happen. 1432 Washtenaw Ave. French Room (look for sign outside) 8:45 Wednesday evening Rowers 0 I.The center or origin of rapid, intense activity or change... 2.A college Ministry program involving discussion, connection with other students and drinking coffee.

Michigan headed to Boston for the annual Head of the Charles Regatta this past Saturday. The annual bonanza draws in excess of 5,500 competitors and more than 300,000 fanatic spectators. Needless to say just rowing in this competition is a great honor. Michigan scored more than just participation points as the Wolverines finished sixth in the championship fours and fourth in the championship eights race. Michigan's times were 18:22:80 in the fours and 16:59.21 in the eights. "This weekend was amazing' said sophomore Helen Dalis, the coxswain in the championship eights. "It's was my sixth trip, but it is still amazing. But unlike when she rowed for her high school in Augusta, Ga., fans were making noise for her team. "Everybody recognized the big block M' we wear on the back of our jerseys, Dalis said. "They all scream real loud when we row by." While most college-age students attend the Head of the Charles for the opportunity to sightsee the local Irish pubs, the rowers all were highly concen- trated on the five-kilometer -race. Although they only rowed in two events, the team finished 40th out of 458 schools and rowing clubs that competed for the overall team trophy. The Wolverines, who finished fifth at the nationals meet last year, appeared to be among the top teams in the nation once again this season. Princeton, who won the eights and finished fifth in the fours, was the only college team to beat Michigan. The Wolverines were 18 sec- onds behind Princeton in the eights and only three seconds back in the fours. "We didn't know how we compared in the college rankings going into this week- end," Dalis said. "We just wanted to do our best, and our best happened to be really good." The second-place finish does not mean that the Wolverines are ranked sec- ond in the nation or they will be second at nationals which aren't until next May. Nationals, which consist of 2000 meters, will be closer to a sprint than the Head. which requires a great deal of endurance. "The fall season only helps determine where you will be ranked in the presea- son polls come spnng," Dalis said. "Right now we are just training for endurance, we are not getting used to sprints yet." Also determined by the meet is which teams improved. This year, those teams were Harvard, Iowa and Princeton. "Princeton got a lot stronger from last year," Dalis said. "I was surprised that' thev won by so much." $18!! CAP AND GOWN at GRADWEAR.COM NO TAX!
