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. The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, November 7, 2001- 9 After sweep, Blue needs a win against sixth-ranked Badgers AP PHOTO 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. By Eric Chan Daily Sports Writer 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 CLIFF KEEN ARENA Who: Michigan (7-7 Big Ten, 11-10 overall) vs. Wisconsin (13-1, 19-3) When: 7 p.m. Friday Latest: After losing two winnable matches to Minnesota and Iowa last weekend, Michigan needs to sting together some wins to keep its slim NCAA hopes alive. Wolverines. In Saturday's loss to Iowa, Ritchie posted a career high four kills. 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.

L ;( .i".' - 3 f p'~O W. i~kAlfi: kt: tR2: ' YO:UF - -- Now-MMEL- 'Saints' Turley fined for attack r . 1 CHRISTMA LIS h Slightly different music, because you're slightly different. S i 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. P 11 '' 6 &e~t, IA W9~ 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.
