The Michigan Daily - SportsMonday - December 1, 2003 - 7B Dzubay puts excianation poit on perfonnance with shootout saves ... By Ellen McGarrity Daily Sports Writer SOUTH BEND - "You spoiled everything!" lameited a melancholy Notre Dame fan yesterday afternoon. Her grief was directed toward sen- ior Mike White, just after he slipped a ball past Notre Dame's goalkeeper in the fifth round of a game-ending shootout. White's goal had clinched the win for 12th-seeded Michigan in the third round of the NCAA men's soccer tournament. Seldom do soccer games come down to a shootout - they only occur after two 10-minute sudden death overtimes have been complet- ed. Yet it seemed a fitting end for yesterday's intense game between the Wolverines and the Irish. Neither Michigan nor Notre Dame had scored since the beginning of the first half of regulation play, and it seemed as if the two would have played on for hours without a winner if there was no shootout. In a shootout, If the first team scores, the other team must match that or the first team will win. This system puts tremendous pressure on the goal- keepers, putting the fate of the game into their hands. However, Michigan goalkeeper Peter Dzubay, who ended up block- ing two kicks during the shootout, admitted that it is what he'd been hoping for all along. "(Saturday) at dinner, I told three or four kids, 'I hope we go to PKs,' Dzubay said. "And they were like, 'You're crazy, what are you talking about?'" But Dzubay got his wish. During the first three rounds of the shootout, senior Kevin Taylor, sophomore Adam Bruh and fresh- man Brian Popeney all put the ball past the Notre Dame goalkeeper. The Irish players tallied the same against Dzubay. In the fourth round, Michigan nearly triumphed after Dzubay blocked his first Notre Dame shot. But the Wolverines' next kicker, sophomore Michael O'Reilly, sent the ball up over the net. But with an amazing block by Dzubay in the next round, Michigan was given another chance. He divulged later that he had a good feeling about where both Irish kick- ers were aiming the ball before they kicked it - one gave it away with his eyes, the other Dzubay guessed about after hearing a scouting report. "That's why I play goalie," Dzubay said. "PKs - you can't lose in that situation. If I don't make any saves, no one really cares, but if I make one or two, everyone loves it." The game's fate then fell onto White's shoulders. "I was thinking, 'I make this and we're going to the Elite Eight. This is my chance - the stuff you dream about,' "White said. His kick was good. "I saw a Michigan player (White) true and true, and I just put a smile on my face because I knew that he was going to make that shot," Michi- gan coach Steve Burns said. In celebration, White ran around the goal, tearing off his Michigan jersey and waving it high above his head for Notre Dame fans to see. Some might think this kind of ending to a soccer game is unfair - even those on the winning Michi- gan team. "After the second overtime, I went up to their team and congratulated them, because when it comes down to PKs, it's not necessarily the best team that wins - it's the team that executes," Taylor said. But Taylor did add that he thought the game's outcome was fair. "I don't know if we played better, but we definitely played with more intensity," Taylor said. "That's what did it for us today." Michigan now advances to the quarterfinal round this Saturday when it travels to California to take on Santa Clara for a spot in the NCAA semifinals.

Rose to Raptors in six-player deal CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago and Toronto have agreed to a six-player trade that will send Jalen Rose to the Raptors for Antonio Davis, Bulls general manager John Paxson said Saturday night. Rose played at Michigan in the early '90s as part of the Fab Five. The deal is pending league approval today. The Bulls will also ship Lonny Baxter and Donyell Marshall to the Raptors and get Toronto's Jerome Williams and Chris Jeffries. "We're giving up talented play- ers," Paxson said, adding that the presence of Davis and Williams will help the Bulls on the inside where they have young and erratic prep-to- pros Eddy Curry and Tyson Chan- dler. "This is hard to do, but I think it's right for the organization right now," Paxson said. "It's been a long tough week in a lot of ways. I think we're in position now where we got a big basketball team. We've still got issues and I don't expect miracles right away, but I expect us to be a competitive team." Paxson fired coach Bill Cartwright last Monday after Chica- go lost 10 of its 14 games. Then on Friday, he named Scott Skiles to replace him. The Bulls are 4-12 overall. Rose, a small forward in his 10th NBA season, is averaging 13.3 points - third best on the team - but has shot just 38 percent from the field this season. He would give Toronto, which has struggled to score points, an offensive punch. He came to the Bulls in February 2002 in a trade from the Pacers. I "Antonio Davis can't help but be a good influence on the other guys and Jerome Williams hustles all the "Sometimes you have to give good" things up for things that make more sense at the time. I think we've become a more physical and tougher team that can rebound and defend bet- ter," Paxson said. Marshall, averaging 8.7 points and- six rebounds, said he got a phone call Saturday from Paxson telling him of the deal. "I feel a little in shock right now. I" kept hearing about it for a week and a half now," Marshall said. "Usually when trade rumors go around that long, usually they're dead. I was laying at home getting" ready to come into the second prac- tice and my phone rang and it was Pax," he said. "I've been in this league 10 years. I know it's a business, I know you gotta do what you've got to do to" make this team better. I guess it was a trade that both teams felt they got, something good out of it." time.
