Green will
sit agamst
Humcanes
BOSTON (AP) - Boston Col-
lege running back William Green,
the nation's leading rusher, was sus-
pended yesterday for one game for
breaking an unidentified team rule.
Green will miss Saturday's game
against top-ranked Miami.
Neither coach Tom O'Brien nor
school spokesman Mike Enright
would comment on why the action
O was taken.
Green will resume normal team
activities at practice Sunday, but his
absence from the Miami game deals
a serious blow to Boston College's
chances. The Eagles (6-2) hoped to
use a balanced attack against the
Hurricanes (7-0).
He will likely be replaced in the
starting lineup by Derrick Knight, a
sophomore who has carried 32
times for 194 yards and no touch-
downs.

Boston College tailback William Green has established himself as one of the top
runners in the nation this fall, but he won't be displaying his talents this weekend.
Green leads the nation with 145.5
yards rushing per game and has 14
touchdowns, including two scoring'
receptions. His 1,164 yards rushing
equal his total for last season, when
he scored 15 touchdowns and aver-
aged 6.2 yards per carry.
In his last game, a 21-17 win over
Notre Dame, Green rushed for 195
yards on 28 carries and scored on a
71-yard run and a 70-yard pass
play.
Green has rushed for more than
100 yards in seven of his eight
games this season with a high of
204 in the opener agairtst West Vir-
ginia in which he scored three
touchdowns.

This weekend, the Michigan vol-
leyball team will look to recover
from a winless road trip last week-
end. The Wolverines fell in four
games to both Minnesota and Iowa.
With the loss to the Hawkeyes, the
Wolverines (7-7 Big Ten, 11-10
overall) fell to .500 on the year in
the Big Ten. Michigan should have
its hands full on Friday against the
Big Ten's best team, No. 6 Wiscon-
sin (13-1, 19-3).
"The only thing we could do this
week was get in the gym and work
hard," said Michigan coach Mark
Rosen. "Our players know the mis-
takes they made against Iowa. They
know they have to minimize them
this week too."
The Badgers are led by senior
Sherisa Livingston and sophomore
Lisa Zukowski. Livingston comes
in to Cliff Keen Arena averaging
4.97 kills per game while Zukowski
comes in with a mark of 3.7. Michi-
gan needs to shut down this duo if it
is to compete with the Badgers.
"Wisconsin is a big, physical team
with great experience. Sherisa Liv-
ingston is probably one of the best
players in the nation," said Rosen.
"We'll just have to counter them
with'a strong physical presence our-
selves."
More consistent. play by freshman
sensation Jennifer Gandolph will be
key for a Michigan upset. Gan-
dolph's age showed in last week's
games. On the weekend, she was
given 86 attack opportunities, but
could only put away 26 of them,
while committing 18 errors. This
comes out to a .093 attack percent-
age - not good enough for one of
the Wolverines' main offensive
threats.
Junior Katrina Lehman looked
impressive against Minnesota, but
poor against Iowa. Against the
Golden Gophers, Lehman put away
11 of 25 attempts with only three
errors. On Saturday against the
Hawkeyes, she ended the day with a
negative .091 attack percentage, fin-
ishing with 11 errors and 9 kills. All
season long, Lehman has been one
of Michigan's most productive play-
ers.
Freshman Carrie Ritchie has been
making the most of her increased
playing time over the past few
weeks.
In the past, Ritchie's huge jump
serves have helned to inite the

Rodriguez takes 10th Gold Glove
Associated Press
Texas Rangers catcher Ivan Rodriguez won his 10th
straight Gold Glove award yesterday, tying his idol John-
ny Bench for the most by a catcher.
"I can see him winning 12, 13, maybe as many as 14
said Bench, the former Cincinnati star
and Hall of Famer. "I don't see why he
would stop. He wants to be behind the
plate. He thrives on it."
The only thing that might stop
Rodriguez's streak is a position
change.
Wear and tear behind the plate has,
led some good-hitting catchers, like
Bench, to switch positions to extend
their careers. Rodriguez
Rodriguez joined Atlanta right-han-
der Greg Maddux, and Cleveland sec-
ond baseman Roberto Alomar as Gold
Glove record-setters.
Maddux extended his National
League record for pitchers by winning<
his 12th straight Gold Glove. He trails
only Jim Kaat, who won the award 16
times.
Alomar passed former Chicago>
Cubs second baseman Ryne Sandberg Maddux
with his 10th Gold Glove, the most for
that position.
He was joined by his Cleveland double-play partner
shortstop Omar Vizquel, who won for the ninth straight
season. Vizquel trails Ozzie Smith, who took the award
13 times.
Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki and Mike Cameron earned two
of the three American League outfield spots. Suzuki
made only one error in his first major league season after
coming over from Japan.
Torii Hunter of the Minnesota Twins filled out the
American League outfield.
Mike Mussina, in his first season with the New York
Yankees, was again chosen as the top pitcher in the
American League. Mussina won four straight years
(1996-99) before Texas' Kenny Rogers broke his streak
last season.
Minnesota first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz, and
Oakland third baseman Eric Chavez round out the AL
squad.
Atlanta's Andruw Jones,,von his fourth straight out-
field award in the National League.
The St. Louis Cardinals had two winners, outfielder Jim
Edmonds and second baseman Fernando Vina. Edmonds
won his second National League award in a row, after win-
ning three in the American League with Anaheim.
Vina took over from Cincinnati's Pokey Reese, who
won the past two years.
Colorado also had two players make the team. First
baseman Todd Helton broke the run of San Francisco's
J.T. Snow, who won six consecutive.
Helton was joined by teammate Larry Walker, who
completed the National League outfield.
Scott Rolen of the Philadelphia Phillies won for the
third time - second consecutive - at third base.
"He is as good a third basemen as I've ever seen play
the game," said Phillies manager Larry Bowa, who holds
the National League career-best fielding percentage for a
shortstop.
Houston catcher Brad Ausmus and Montreal shortstop
Orlando Cabrera also were honored in the National
League winners.
The awards are presented annually by Rawlings to the
18 best fielders at their positions _ nine in each league.
Voting is done by managers and coaches, who can't select
their own players.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - It wasn't
as bad as it could have been - New
Orleans Saints coach Jim Haslett origi-
nally thought about cutting tackle Kyle
Turley or at least suspending him. But
it was no slap on the wrist either.
Turley was fined $25,000 for con-
duct detrimental to the team during
Sunday's game against the New York
Jets.
Turley has also agreed to undergo
counselint at the team's request.
Turley attacked Jets safety Damien
Robinson when Robinson grabbed the
-face mask of Saints quarterback Aaron
Brooks and twisted it. Turley ripped
Robinson's helmet off and threw it
downfield, then made an obscene ges-
ture.
His actions got him tossed out of the
game. They also drew a 15-yard penal-
ty that ended the Saints' final chance to
tie or win the game. The Saints lost 16-
9.
"The Saints do not condone such
actions," general manager Randy
Mueller said Tuesday. "We believe that
the amount of the fine is appropriate
for the severity of Kyle's conduct on the
field. We understand that Kyle is a very
emotional player, but it is clear that the
type of actions he demonstrated last
Sunday will not be tolerated."
Mueller said that Turley will not be
suspended by the Saints and is expect-
ed to play Sunday against the San Fran-
cisco 49ers.
"Unfortunately Kyle's actions cost us
a chance to possibly win a game,"
Mueller said. "I would hope that the
lesson learned here will bring our team
together."
Turley also faces disciplinary action
from the NFL.
Turley was composed, but not con-
trite, when he spoke to the media Mon-
day.
"It was a very emotional outburst on
my part that I need to be a little more
mature about," Turley said. "But I can-
not apologize for defending my quar-
terback and trying to, basically, from
my point of view, save his life. The guy
was seriously trying to break his neck."
Trailing 16-9, the Saints marched to
the Jets' 6-yard line in the final minute
of the game. On second-and-3, Brooks
ran to the 5-yard line only to be
stopped by Robinson, who grabbed
Brooks' face mask.
"I figured I had him bent back when
I heard Brooks scream," Robinson said.
"Then I let him go."
Turley had a different take on the sit-
uation.
"I came up on the play and the guy
started twisting Aaron's head back and
he started screaming," Turley said.
"I've never been placed in a situation
like that before where I see my quarter-
back getting his head turned around
like the exorcist."
Turley, who turned 26 in September,
jumped into the pile, grabbing Robin-
son and eventually his helmet. He
emerged without his own helmet, but
still clutching Robinson's, which he
flung downfield before making an
obscene gesture. By that time the field
was littered with players, officials and
yellow flags.

Blackburn awarded
CCHA weekly honor
After leading the No. 12 Michigan
hockey team (3-3-1 CCHA, 4-4-1
overall) to its first sweep of the season
last weekend against Alaska-Fairbanks,
senior goalie Josh Blackburn was
named the CCHA Defensive Player of
the Week.
Blackburn was instrumental in both
victories against the Nanooks, stopping
26 of 27 shots he faced on Friday night
and stoning all 36 Alaska-Fairbanks
attempts on Saturday for his first
shutout of the young season.
With the 4-0 shutout, Blackburn
upped his career total to 10, putting
USCHO poll
him one shutout away from tying Marty
Turco's school record of 11 set from
1994-1997.
Blackburn's performance last week-
end was a welcome sight for the Wolver-
ines, who have been waiting for him to
play to his full potential. Prior to the
Alaska-Fairbanks series, Blackburn was
allowing three goals per game - much
higher than his career average of 2.3.
Blackburn and the Wolverines are tak-
ing this week off to get caught up in
classes after their long trip to Alaska last
weekend. Michigan resumes CCHA
play next weekend in Omaha against the
sixth-ranked Nebraska-Omaha Maver-
icks.
