2B - The Michigan Daily - SportsMonday - October 8, 2001 4 In 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. Play ball CLUBSPORTSWEEKLY Edited by Kareem Cu,pend and Jim i'eber Go hit someone at the Coliseum 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.

DAILY 3COREOA D 6MNOTES 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. Greenless, Hughes and Stanko all '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. -- Eric Chan 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. - Allison Topp for Blue MLB STANDINGS NFL STANDINGS AMERICAN CONFERENCE Eastern Division AMERICAN LEAGUE Eastern Division New York Yankees Boston Toronto Baltimore Tampa Bay Central Division Cleveland Minnesota Chicago White Sox Detroit Kansas City Western Division Seattle Oakland Anaheim Texas NATIONAL LEAGUE Eastern Division Atlanta Philadelphia New York Mets Florida Montreal Central Division St. Louis Houston Chicago Cubs Milwaukee Cincinnati Pittsburgh Western Division Arizona San Francisco Los Angeles San Diego Colorado 4 W L 94 65 82 79 80 81 63 98 62 99 W L 90 71 84 77 83 78 66 95 64 97 W L 116 45 101 60 75 86 72 89 Pct GB .591 - .509 13 .497 15 .391 32 .385 33 Pct GB .559 - .522 6 .516 7 .410 24 .398 26 Pct GB .720 - .627 15 .466 41 .447 44 Pct GB .547 - .528 3 .509 6 .466 13 .416 21 Indianapolis Miami New England NY Jets Buffalo Central Division Baltimore Cincinnati Cleveland Jacksonville Pittsburgh Tennessee W 2 2 1 0 W 2 2 2 2 1 0 W 3 2 2 1 1 T Pct. 0 .667 0 .667 0 .333 0 .333 o .000 T Pct. 0 .667 0 .667 0 .667 o .667 0 .500 0 .000 PA 40 55 37 32 24 44 PA 38 57 56 53 71 PF PA 100 94 59 80 64 46 51 67 33 86 Western Division San Diego Denver Oakland Kansas City Seattle TI 0 0 0 0 0 Pct. 1.00 .667 .667 .333 .333 LESLIE WARD 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."
