2B - The Michigan Daily - SportsMonday - November 13, 2000 CLUBSPORTSWEEKLY Edited by Jeff Phillps Women's hockey freezes Buffalo 3-0, continues winning streak By Courtney Lewis F or the Daily Meghan Collier has been a huge force for the Michigan women's hockey club all season, and this weekend was no different. The soph- more forward scored four goals as her team dominated Buffalo 6-I on Friday and 3-0 Saturday. "When she's on the ice the other team has to adjust to make sure she °doesn't do anything," Michigan -coach Hal Krenkel said. "She played great last season, but she's stepped up even more this year." She earned two of her team-leading 13 goals in Friday's win. In the sec- ond game of the series Michigan was brimming with confidence and real- ized the team just had to play a solid game to continue its unbeaten streak. Collier opened the scoring Saturday night with a shorthanded goal from Silvi Berger five minutes into the second period. Junior Erica Nashar banged in a rebound 4:15 later to give the Wolverines a 2-0 lead. Collier's second goal of the night came less than a minute into third frame. Racing through the Buffalo zone, she faked left, shot right and sealed the win. While the game was highlighted by offensive performances, Michigan played stellar defense as well. Christine Granger was solid in goal, looking especially sharp in the first period, which allowed the team to play aggressively. "Christine and Dana have been amazing so far this year. When we get great goaltending we know we can give up a few shots and they won't go in," Krenkel said. The outstanding play of Meghan Collier has been essential to Michigan's success, but Krenkel thinks cohesiveness and a balanced scoring attack have been the key. "All three lines have gelled togeth- er," Krenkel said. "They're all on the same wave length and they play together as one unit." This was Michigan's fourth victory over Buffalo in less than a month, and the Freeze showed signs of frustra- tion. "After we got ahead by three goals they tried to get a few moral victories by knocking us down," Krenkel said. In Friday's win, Colleen Brophy also contributed two goals, and Jackie Neal and Stacey Kilarski tal- lied one each. Senior goaltender Dana Aronson provided a steady per- formance as well. The team faces Western Michigan next weekend. Though the Broncos are a more offensive team, they don't play well from behind so Michigan will again try to get the early lead. Krenkel said an extra source of motivation for the 8-0 Wolverines will be the quest to remain undefeat- ed. "It gives us a lot more to work for with that zero" in the loss column, Krenkel said. "The streak is probably 20 games with last season, so we don't want to lose."

Then it was all Lennox Lewis. A sellout crowd at Mandalay Bay came to see a brawl, but what they got was a superb tactical perfor- mance by the IBF-WBC heavy- weight champion as Lewis scored a one-sided decision Saturday night. After dominating the fight, Lewis then closed the show sounding like a Muhammad Ali imitator in a Las Vegas lounge act. "If Tyson wants to come to test, I'll put him to rest; Lennox Lewis is the best," said Lewis, who hopes to fight former undisputed champion Mike Tyson sometime next year. Tyson has said he will not fight again, an announcement met with great skepticism in the boxing world. Tua came into the ring to the sound of a conch shell being blown, the earsplitting beat of Samoan drums. Mullen, Savard to be inducted to Hockey Hall of Fame TORONTO (AP) - Two of the most prolific offensive players of their era take their place among hockey's immortals Monday when Denis Savard and Joe Mullen are enshrined in the Hall of Fame.

Before college I ate pretty well and kept healthy playing aport6, but it' much harder to keep up the good habit6 at 6chool. How can I eat healthy on campus? Lia T., Boston University. 10 Hi Lisa, This is a great question that affects a lot of women at the college level, whether they are freshmen or seniors. Although you shouldn't spend too much time obsessing about your diet, here are some simple things to remember when you sit down to a meal or grab a snack: X Don't skip meals (including breakfast). Grab a granola bar, a container of yogurt, or a bagel if you don't have time to sit down and eat. Running on empty is bad for your metabolism and can adversely affect your ability to concentrate. In fact, eating five or six small meals (instead of two or three big ones) each day will increase your metabolism and help your body burn calories even if you're just sit- ting in class! X Remember that fad diets don't work. Even if everyone in the dorm swears that the all-broccoli diet is the fast track to skinny thighs, remember that it's never a good idea to deprive your body of any food group. Eating in moderation is the key to a healthy diet. X A hamburger doesn't have to be a guilty pleasure. Red meat can be a healthy part of your diet as long as you don't eat it every day. Try turkey burgers or chicken tacos as an alternative. X Try to have some low fat or skim milk once a day. Women are particularly in need of calcium during their college years to build bone mass and avoid osteoporosis (weak bones) later in life. If you don't want to drink a glass of milk, remember that yogurt or milk on your cereal counts as well. X Always grab a piece of fruit or carror stick when you're leaving the dining hall. Even if you don't want it right away, keep it in your room or backpack for a snack. Keep low-fat snacks like pretzels, graham crackers, trail mix, or raisins in you room for late night munchies so you won't be as likely to order pizza or raid the candy machine. X Finally, there will be plenty of opportuni- ties for late-night ice cream, between- ./.. '. t i i
