White, assisted by Sav- itskie and sophomore Chris Glinski, put Michigan on the scoreboard only three minutes later to tie up the game 1-1. By the half, both teams were presented with several more scoring chances, but nei- ther goalkeeper cracked. "We were unlucky in the first half," Michi- gan coach Steve Burns said. "We had a lot of the run of play and the wind at our backs. I think we were unfortunate to not get more enough for something good to happen. After struggling through two 10-minute overtimes, its patience paid off as the shootout format favored them. In a shootout, each team takes alternating penalty kicks on the opposing team's goalkeep- er. If the first team scores, the other team must also score or the first team is the winner. In the first three rounds of the shootout, Taylor, sophomore Adam Bruh and freshman Brian Popeney all answered Notre Dame's successful kicks. In the fourth round, Michigan thought it had won the game after Dzubay finally than just one goal." In the second half, the Wolverines had a disadvan- tage, this time going against the wind and squinting at the strong afternoon sun. But Burns had made a few changes in Michigan's defense in hopes of shutting down Notre Dame. When (White's) ball went in, tense Michigan fans were at last able to delight in their team's victory. blocked a Notre Dame shot. But the Wolverine's next kicker, sophomore Michael O'Reilly, sent the ball up over the net instead of inside it. Dzubay miraculously blocked the next Irish shot and the game's fate then fell onto White's shoulders. "We wanted to make sure we shut down their overlapping outside backs," Burns said. "We did a good job defending the flanks, then playing the ball up the middle of the field." Michigan's 4-3-3 formation also had to fig- ure out a way to stop Notre Dame's 4-4-2. As the game clock counted down to zero, the score remained 1-1, forcing overtime. Dzubay had endured an amazing 23 shots in the game, saving nine on goal. But Michigan had managed to take just one shot on goal in the second half. Because of Notre Dame's outstanding defense, Michigan's strategy was to match its opponent's defense, and hang around long His ball went in, and tense Michigan fans were at last able to delight in their team's vic- tory. The end of Michigan's season has been like a Cinderella story in the past week. Michi- gan, who is only in its fourth year as a varsity team, had never been chosen to play in the NCAA tournament until this year. After receiving a first round bye, the team defeated St. Peters 6-2 in Ann Arbor last Wednesday to advance to the third round against Notre Dame. The Wolverines will now play in the Elite Eight this Saturday against Santa Clara for a chance at the Final Four.

STEREOTYPES Continued from Page 1A the students as "rural." LSA freshman Claire Kaitz expressed her views on the Mid- west-East Coast split. "Midwestern kids are less sophis- ticated, but that also makes them more down to earth," said Katz, a New York state resident. One of the strongest beliefs held by students from all regions is the divi- siveness of the Greek system. Stu- dents, both Greek and non-Greek, both East Coast and Midwest, all said Greek houses often cater to certain regional groups. Usually unable to name more than a few fraternities that they believed had strong "regional ties," students cited sororities as bastions of regional bias. Students said that a few sororities are almost exclusively comprised of not just girls from the East Coast, but exclusively Jewish, East Coast girls. LSA sophomore Tara Gavioli, a Midwesterner, recalled her rush experience at some houses as cold and unfriendly. She said the houses discriminated against her because she was not Jewish. Conversely, some Jewish students felt they were selected against in some "Midwestern" sororities. Melissa Cooper, a Jewish student from Long Island, said she thinks one notoriously "Midwestern" house did not offer her a bid because she had brown hair, a trait she believes people associate with being Jewish. "They did not invite me back, but they asked my roommate - she has blonde hair but she is just as Jewish as me," said Cooper, an LSA freshman. Pan-Hellenic Association spokes- woman Lauren Herskovic said the sorority houses take on their reputa- tions naturally. "Girls go to sororities where they feel comfortable. A lot of people feel comfortable around people like them, people who were raised the same way from the same place," Herskovic said. Along with this stereotype, stu- dents from both the Midwest and East Coast felt that girls, East Coast girls primarily, are often labeled based on their clothing. LSA sophomore Samantha, Epstein is Jewish and was born in New York before moving to Illinois. She said it is relatively easy to spot Eastern students based on their apparel. "Most of the girls have expensive bags and sweatpants that look cheap but really cost over a hundred dol- lars. "I'm reluctant to tell people I'm Jewish and born a New Yorker. I don't want people to associate me with that stereotype," she said. But stereotypes based on appear- ance were not exclusive to females. "The boys from Long Island spend more time on their hair than I do," Epstein added. For many Jewish students from Long Island and New Jersey, the two regions associated with the stereotype of tiny cell phones, high- fashion bags and too much makeup has more of an impact than per- ceived. Jesse Levine, a Jewish student from Long Island, said that the "rich" stereotype does damage to all Jewish students. "It is a damaging misconception people have that all Jewish students are well off and dress a certain way," said Levine, an LSA sopho- more. "It perpetuates unfairly and does more harm the longer it's around," she said. Free from the Midwest-East Coast strife, students from the West Coast said they feel no stereotypes whatsoever. LSA freshman Temeca Simpson, a California native, said she has not felt slighted against in any way. "It's not that diverse here com- pared to the West Coast, but every- one seems to like us here. "I think people are just nicer in California," Simpson said.
