Spors BRIEFS
Padre fans et double
dose on miestone day
SAN DIEGO (AP) - Rickey Hen-
derson made sure he didn't go into the
winter still waiting for his 3,000th hit.
Henderson' became the 25th member
of the 3,000-hit club with a bloop dou-
ble yesterday, doing it on the last day of
the season.
Henderson made history as quickly as
possible.
With the huge crowd on its feet - it
was Tony Gwynn's final game and the
fans got this as a bonus - Henderson,
the San Diego Padres' flamboyant lead-
off hitter, lofted the first pitch from Col-
orado's John Thomson toward the
right-field line.
Three Rockies converged, but the- ball
dropped in, about 10 feet inside the line.
The 42-year-old Henderson, in his 23rd
season, chugged into second base stand-
ing up, with yet another big number that
will eventually adom his Hall of Fame
plaque.
Three days earlier, Henderson broke
Ty Cobb's career record by scoring his
2,246th run.
Gwynn retired as an eight-time
National League batting champion with
a .338 lifetime average.
He will become baseball coach at his
alma mater, San Diego State, after the
Aztecs' 2002 season.
Life without baseball
will be hard for Cal
BALTIMORE (AP) - There's a rea-
son Cal Ripken always showed up at the
ballpark expecting to be in the starting
lineup.
Sitting on the bench and watching
other guys play was absolute torture.
That's why he played in 3,001 games,
including 2,632 in a row.
So now that he's retired from base-
ball, the future Hall of Famer figures to
be squirming in his seat at Camden
Yards on opening day next year.
"It might be a little hard to watch a
game," Ripken said after his final game
Saturday night. "I'm the kind of person
who would rather play than watch."
No kidding.
Ripken didn't miss playing one game
for the Baltimore Orioles from May 30,
1982, through Sept. 19, 1998.
Ripken, 41, is done playing. Now he
can only watch others do what he did
for 21 straight seasons.
Ripken produced smiles during his
career and tears from many on his final
day in the game. And, despite his trepi-
dation about watching from the seats, he
expects to be at the Orioles' opener in
2002.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
By Melanie Kebler
For the Daily
When Matt Milas joined the Michi-
gan crew team during his freshman
year, he never expected that it would
lead him to become the captain of the
Michigan men's boxing club. Milas, a
fourth year junior, remembers becom-
ing interested in boxing while rowing
on the machines next to the sparring
mats.
"I'd look over to the boxing ring and
see people sparring and doing all sorts
of different things. It looked interest-
ing. For crew, I would just be sitting
there rowing for hours," Milas said.
Milas joined the club in the summer
of 2000 and has since worked up to the
position of team captain. Senior
Theron Tingstad L who won the
regional championship his freshman
year and was named All-America in
1999 - is the other team captain.
Father Pat Egan heads up the coach-
ing staff of the club, which is a mem-
ber of the National Collegiate Boxing
Association. Egan leads approximately
30 club members through their work-
out at each practice. Active members
are required to participate in two prac-
tices per week. There are about 60
members overall, with skill levels
ranging from, beginners to experts. No
matter the talent level, the boxers have
different reasons for joining the club
and committing a part of their week to
it.
"I joined because it was something
new, something that was not offered in
my high school," freshman Brian Shin
said. "It's not like other sports. In box-
ing, you know when you mess up
because you get hit in the head."
Shin and others enjoy the sport
because it is challenging, both mental-
ly and physically. Sanjay Sharma, a
beginning boxer, said that he was there
to learn techniques and get in shape.
1 like boxing because there's more
purpose to it; it's better than just lifting
weights," Sharma said.
"Because boxing is not a team sport,
you are responsible for yourself and
you only go as far as you want to go,"
junior Merrick Poon said. "If you keep
in shape and drive yourself, you get
results."
Poon joined the club last fall and has
competed for the team once. He would
tell anyone interested in boxing that it
is impossible to know how exciting it
is until actually stepping in the ring.
"There's nothing like beating some-
one up," Poon said.
At practice, boxers perfect their
technique and prepare for competitions
against other schools in the region. The
club will send a team to the Detroit
Athletic Center Fall Classic show on
Nov. 9. The show, which is a benefit
dinner, will feature matches starting in
the lowest weight clis of 112 pounds
and continuing up to the heavyweights.
The Michigan boxing team will face
competitors from Eastern Michigan,
Western Michigan and Kentucky.
After the upcoming DAC Fall Clas-
sic, the boxing club hopes to put
together an invitational at Michigan. In
previous years, the club has had trou-
ble finding a spot to hold its competi-
tions, using its own practice area in the
Coliseum one year and setting up a
movable ring in the CCRB another
year.
"We basically set up matches as we
go along through the year," Milas said.
The boxing club practices Monday,
Wednesday and Thursday from 7 p.m.
to 9 p.m. and Tuesday from 4:30 p.m.
to 6:30 p.m. All practices are held in
the upper deck of the Coliseum.

Why: Cammalleri, one of the Wolverines' alternate captains, had a hand
in all three Michigan goals Saturday night in the "Cold War" game. He
scored two goals and assisted on the third. Michigan State's coach Ron
Mason called Cammalleri "the best offensive player in college hockey."

Pilja leads harriers to
strong finish in Mame
Senior All-American Mark Pilja led
Michigan to a third-place finish in the
Murray Keatinge Invitational on Sat-
urday. Pilja didn't .do it by himself
though, as the No. 12 Wolverines had
top-20 finishes by Sophomores Tom
Greenless, John Hughes and Nick
Stanko.
Pilja, the invitational's defending
champion, finished in third place, run-
ning the 8000-meter course in a time
of 24:07.10. He was beaten only by
Stanford runners Ryan Hall and Louis
Luchini. Pilja has placed in the top 10
in all three scoring meets this season,
including a second place finish in the
Great American Cross Country Festi-
val. He finished second only to fresh-
man teammate Alan Webb.
Michigan scored 76 points and
placed behind Stanford and Arizona in
the overall team standings. Stanford
dominated the Invitational, scoring an
impressive 25 points and having four
of its runners place in the top five --
Pilja was that stray non-Cardinal top
finisher.
All-American Mike Wisniewski and
the freshman sensation Webb did not
compete at the Murray Keatinge Invi-
tational this weekend.

'Best meet
By Kareem Copeland
Daily Sports Writer
The women's cross country team has
bounced back.
After a disappointing seventh-place
finish at Iona, the Wolverines took sec-
ond, scoring 104 points in South Bend.
The Notre Dame Invitational hosted 17
teams at the 5000K Burke Memorial
Golf Course.
"This was our best meet of the sea-
son," Michigan coach Mike McGuire
said. "I hope to use it as a stepping
stone."
stepped it up in the absence of a few of
the team's top runners. All three fin-
ished with personal bests, placing
1I ith, 17th and 18th respectively with
times of 24:53.90, 25:02.40 and
25:06.60.
On Sunday, Michigan will host the
Wolverine Interregional held on the
University of Michigan Golf Course.
Webb, who hasn't seen action since
September 21, is expected to compete.

Soccer splits Big Ten
games over weekend
The Michigan women's soccer,
team prepared all last week for its
game yesterday against Penn State,
bur it wasn't enough.
Penn State has won the Big Ten
title the last three years and is cur-
rently ranked No. 8 in the nation. The
Wolverines found out the true force
of Penn State's offense in their 6-2
loss to the Nittany Lions yesterday.
The name of that force was
Christie Welsh. The All-American
junior forward scored four goals and
assisted on two more. Welsh was Big
Ten Player of the Year her freshman
and sophomore years, and is making
a strong case for a third title.
Welsh scored two goals right
away, but was answered with a goal
by Michigan's Abby Crumpton to
bring the score to 2-1 going into half-
time. But, Penn State dominated the
Sof season
The best meet of the season came
one week after the worst. At Iona, the
team performed poorly with its lead
runner placing 24th.
Lindsey Gallo continued to be the
team's most consistent runner with an
eighth-place finish. Her time of 17:47
was just 27 seconds behind the winner,
Lauren King of Notre Dame.
"Gallo did a great job and was much
more aggressive," McGuire said.
Jeanne Spink, Andrea Parker and
Rachel Sturtz rounded out the top 25
-- placing 19th, 22nd and 25th, respec-
tively.
second half with 15 shots on goal
against only three for Michigan. Two
more goals from Welsh and goals by
Heidi Drummond and Michelle
Smith increased the Penn State lead
to 5.
Michelle Pesiri scored a late goal
for the Wolverines. After four
shutouts in a row, the Michigan
defense faltered under the pressure of
the Nittany Lions' front line.
Michigan's 4-0 win against Ohio
State Friday night was Suzie Grech's
fourth shutout in a row. In the first
three games of the season, the
Wolverines defense was plagued
with inconsistent play.
But, by holding their opponents to
only two goals in seven games since
then, the defensive effort put forth by
the Wolverines has been nothing
short of spectacular.
Coming off of a game-winning
goal against Wisconsin in the game
before, Stephanie Chavez was the
offensive spark against Ohio State.
She scored two goals in the game,
with the first coming 33.17 into the
first half.
Carly Williamson also caught the
rebound of her own penalty shot after
the goalie blocked her first attempt.
She buried the ball in the back of the
net, giving the Wolverines a 2-0 lead.
Another goal by Chavez in the sec-
ond half and the finishing goal by
Laney Rosin sealed the 4-1.

Stefani Volpe returned this weekend
for the Michigan Fall Tournament.
This is the second year in a row that
Michigan has been the runner up at the
invite.
"Last year we had a great meet,"
senior captain Katie Ryan said. "We
were pretty excited to race on a fast
course."
Excellent preparation set the stage
for-the performance.
"Our workouts have been better and
better," Ryan said. "We felt it was our
week to step it up. And we did."
On October 14, the squad will host
the Wolverine Interregional.
"We're excited," McGuire said.
"We'll be tested by good teams like
Wisconsin and North Carolina."
Starting this morning, the team will
begin to practice and get familiar with
the Michigan Golf Course. A healthy
crowd with many friends and family is
expected for the lone home meet.
"It's our last chance to show what
we can do before Big Ten's," Ryan
said. "We're going to treat it like it's
Big Ten's. Since we're improving so
much, we want to shovv that on race
day."
