Men's soccer speeds
to weekend sweep
Skilled freshmen key
Wolverines' offense

If in its second year as a varsity
sport, the learning curve is supposed
to still be in place for the Michigan
men's soccer team, it hasn't been
showing on the field.
Two wins this past weekend over
Dayton and Western Michigan upped
the Wolverines' record to 7-1 --
eclipsing last year's win total with a
month to go in the season.
Michigan posted win number
seven at Varsity Field yesterday
against a hungry, aggressive Western
Michigan team. The Wolverines were
able to play an up-tempo style against
the Broncos, recording a 5-2 win.
The Wolverines were led by for-
ward Jody Keeling who scored two
goals early in the second half with the
team nursing a 1-0 lead. His second
goal in the 59th minute gave Michi-
gan a 3-0 lead, and essentially
clinched a victory.
"I think that I was just in the right
place at the right time basically and
got a little bit lucky," Keeling said.
"I'm excited about our team perfor-
mance as a whole."
Knox Cameron got the Wolver-
ines' scoring started in the seventh
minute when was met with a pass
from Dave George that sent him in on
a breakaway. He played the ball past
the Western goalie and deposited it
into the open net.
"We really tried to bury them as
quick as possible, and just take all the
life out of them," Cameron said. "I
was kind of upset the last game where
I had a lot of chances and I was really
eager to get back out here, and I was
determined to finish if I got the
chance."
Kevin Taylor and Karl Lopata also
added goals for the Wolverines.
The weekend sweep began on Fri-
day night on the narrow field at. Ann
Arbor Pioneer High School. Taking
advantage of their speed, the Wolver-
ines time and time again broke play-
ers open down the middle of the field
and recorded multiple scoring
chances en route to a 2-1 win.
"We wanted both of our forwards to
always be on the same side of the ball
-- one going towards the corner flag,
the other showing back to the ball,"
Michigan coach Steve Burns said.
"We were looking for our wide play-
ers to get the ball and go right at the
center of their defense - essentially,
we exploited them enough to win."
There was no strategy necessary to
prepare for Michigan's first goal.
Using the narrower field to its favor,
J.J. Kern took a throw-in from the left
sideline and landed a pass midway
across the goalie box where Kevin
Taylor headed it past Dayton's goal-
keeper in the 37th minute.
In the 72nd minute the Wolverines
notched a huge insurance goal when
Robert Turpin beat two defenders
deep in Dayton territory and sent a
grossing pass to his brother Mychal
Turpin, who sat all alone in front of
the goal and gave Michigan a 2-0 lead.
Dayton scored in the 85th minute,
but was not able to land the equalizer.

The jump from high school to college
soccer is supposed to take time for
freshmen. The college game is much
more physical than anything they expe-
rience on their school and club teams
during high school, and the move usual-
ly results in a slow start.
But Theresa Dwyer, Kate Morgan
and Liz Dosa have already made a big
splash for the Michigan women's soccer
team nine games into the season as evi-
denced by Michigan's 2-0 victory over
Northwestern last Friday.
Both of Michigan's goals came from
a pair of freshman roommates. Dwyer
scored her first career goal for Michigan
while Morgan scored her third. The
Morgan's goal put her second on the
team in goals behind Amy Sullivant.
"She's really good and composed,"
Michigan coach Debbie Rademacher
said about Morgan. Rademacher noted
that Morgan does especially well in the
goalie box as evidenced by her knack
for scoring.
Dwyer's first goal of the season was-
n't the beginning of her contributions to
the team. She has appeared in all but
two of the Wolverines' games this sea-
son and has earned the praise of coaches
and players.
"She lays off some good balls for her
teammates," assistant coach Scott For-
rester said. "She's a playmaker," Mor-
gan added. "She creates and she has
really good field vision."
She added that Dwyer is also good at
taking a defender one-on-one.
Dosa hasn't scored a goal yet but has
already integrated herself into the start-
ing lineup. What makes the transition
even more difficult for Dosa is that she
was switched from forward to midfield-
er by the coaching staff Rademacher
describes Dosa as a "lightning fast"
player who is especially dangerous near
the sideline.

Freshman midfielder Theresa Dwyer has been a major contributor for Michigan.
Now teammates, Morgan and Dosa
knew each other growing up in Califor-
nia - they lived only 45 minutes away
from each other. The two played on
rival club teams throughout high school
and became rivals. They played against
one another every weekend and faced
each other during several club champi-
onship games.
"I'm glad she's on my team now," a
relieved Morgan said.
Jillian Papa, Laura Tanchon and
Laney Rosin have also seen playing
time this year as freshmen. In her first
appearance of the year, Rosin scored a
goal against Dayton three weeks ago.
The new class will play an even big-
ger role for Michigan for the rest of the
season. Rademacher and Forrester both
said that those who haven't seen much
action up to this point will get their
chances as the year continues.
Wolvennes finish an un-Bear-able seventh
By Matt Kramer
For the Daily
The Baylor men's golf team certainly knows
how to ruin a party.
On a day when two Michigan golfers celebrat-
ed their 20th birthdays, it was the Bears who did
all the partying this weekend after winning the
19-team Wolverine Invitational at the Michigan
Golf Course.
The Bears scorched the 6,700-yard, par 71
layout with a two day total of six-over par 574,
five shots ahead of runner up Minnesota and 19
shots ahead of Michigan, which finished sev-
enth.
After a lackluster first round of 301 on Friday
that placed the Wolverines 10th - the format
counts the best four scores from the team's five
members - the Michigan golfers fought back
strong with a 292 yesterday but were never real-
ly in contention.
The golfers did not play Saturday because of
the football game.
"It's disappointing," Michigan coach Jim Car-
ras said. "I don't think we were ready. It's not
an excuse, but we didn't have great practice time
because of the bad weath'er last week and it
affected us, I think.
"And Baylor is a good team. They are the
defending Big 12 champions and I anticipated
them being on top."
Michigan's top individual performer, senior
Andrew Chapman, shot rounds of 73 and 74 to
finish with a 36-hole total of 177. He finished
seven shots back of co-medalists Ryan Baca of
Baylor and Ball State's Mike Gant.
"We definitely could have played better than
we played this week, especiafly since this is our
home course," Chapman said. "But we can take
positives out of this.
"We played better as a team in the final round
and if we can just gain some momentum then we
should be fine for our next tournament in two
weeks."
Chapman was followed by fellow senior Kyle
Kilcherman, who struggled in the first round Fri-
day with an 80 but came back to fire a 69 yester-
day, including four birdies and a double bogey.
Freshman Rob Tighe (76-74), sophomore
David Nichols (75-75), and senior Andy
Matthews (77-76) rounded out Michigan's
squad.
For Nichols and individual scorer Scott Carl-
ton, yesterday's final round was played during
each golfer's 20th birthday.
"It wasn't a great birthday," Nichols said, "but
it could have been a lot worse."
