For the Tribe, it was the urgency to *ielp Lianne Ligvoet. The defender lay on the field screaming uncontrollably after being stuck in the leg and in need of medical attention. 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.

But as Michigan headed to the showers, most of the Carolina water streamed from its opponents' cheeks. "It's a heartbreaker." red-faced defender Kathv Dejong said. "We've been working for this for four years. It hurts" FIELD HOCKEY Continued from Page 18 "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 stroke. Pankratz switched goalies, opting for freshman Molly Maloney over junior I PRINTING LOWEST PRICES!

No. 4 Wake Forest finally got its revenge with 14:32 left in overtime. "On any given day, the top 10 teams in the country are going to be able to beat each other," Pankratz said.

Review y Shawn Kemp Waily Sports WNritcr 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." c~Seagate welcomes WARREN pMILLER to UNIVERSITY OF MICHII SUNDAY, NOV. 19 7:00 MICHIGAN THEATRE GAN PM Ls~lm4 , Second-straight upset for Volleyball By Richard Haddad impact on the team, both physically and 17aily Sports Writer emotionally;' Rosen gushed.
