field hockey game was "urgency."

For Michigan, it was the urgency of
being down 2-1, and having less than six
minutes left in a season filled with
championship expectations.
During the official's timeout, Father

"Doton's first goal was just clutch in
really sparking and igniting the team,"
Wake Forest coach Jennifer Averill said.
"It's that first goal -- once you get the first
one it's like open the floodgates.' The
floodgates opened four minutes later
when Doton scored again to tie the game.
The game remained tied and regulation
ended with Michigan prepared to enter its
third overtime session of the weekend.
While Michigan was reminded of
Saturday's 3-2 double-overtime thi4: ir
against William & Mary, Wake Forest was
reminded of its tournament exit.
"Last year was on all of our minds"
Wake Forest forward Jenny Everett said.
"We felt like we had that game taken away
from us," she said.
Less than 30 seconds into the extra ses-
sion, the Demon Deacons were on the
attack. They shot the ball toward
Michigan's goal, where Michigan defend-
er Kristi Gannon made a defensive save.
But the officials called Gannon for stick
interference.
Wake Forest was awarded a penalty

YPSILANTI - Heading into the NCAA Great Lakes
Regional on Saturday, the men's cross country team hoped to
finish in the top 10 after a mediocre season.
The Wolverines got their H ish.
Led by junior Mark Pilja, Michigan finished seventh with
226 points out of 31 teams at Eagle Crest Golf Course in
Ypsilanti. Wisconsin, this season's Big Ten champion, won the
meet with 75 points.
Since the Wolverines had to finish second for an automatic
NCAA Championship bicd they find out today if they receive an
at-large bid to run in Ames, Iowa a week from today.
Aside from the teams that automatically qualified in the
regional, the top four individuals earned berths to compete solo
at nationals. Pilja, who has consistently been Michigan's top
runner throughout the season, will travel to Ames with or with-
out the rest of his teammates.
After running in a pack with Notre Dame's Luke Watson and
Ohio State's Ian Connor. Pilja and his two companions caught
up with Eastern Michigan leader Blake McDowell in the last
800 meters of the 10-kilometer race. Pilja finished fourth out
f the quartet, running 30:51. Just four seconds separated him,
and the overall champion. Watson.
"Pilja did not run all-out:" Michigan coach Ron Warhurst
said. "We knew he was going to make it."
Warhurst said he and Pilja discussed the pressures of win-
ning the regional prior to the race, and decided qualifying was
the No. I goal.
"I knew if our team didn't get it, the top four individuals
would go, and if I was fourth, I was going," Pilja said.
Although the chance of Michigan qualifying as a team is
slim, Warhurst said he was extremely proud of the effort his
runners put forth.
Senior Tom Caughlin led the rest of the Wolverines, running
32:21 to finish 48th. Freshmen Mason Ward (50), Tom
Greenless (>5) and Ryan Hesselink (69) rounded out the scor-
ing. while junior Nate Hoffman and freshman John "lugce
Hughes finished the lineup.
"We're better than 10th - that's all I care about,' Warhurst
said.
Last year the Wolverines qualified as a team and finished
fifth in the nation. Even with a strong effort by the rest of the
team at regionals, it is still unknown as to whether the
Wolverines will have the chance to defend their national status.
Pilja will have one last chance to represent Michigan this
season in an all-out effort at nationals.
"Next week I can't walk away saying I left anything on the
course," Pilja said. "Next Monday will be all-out."
