Bonnell bowls over Falcons

FIELD HOCKEY
Wolverines win 10th consecutive game

The No. 4 Michigan field
hockey team beat Central Michi-
gan 3-2 yesterday afternoon with
an overtime goal by sophomore
forward Kelly Fitzpatrick 2:56
into the extra period.
In addition to boasting a10-
game winning streak, Michigan

has now won six straight road
contests.
The Wolverines had 11 more
shots and two more corners
than the Chippewas, but Central
Michigan erased two Michigan
one-goal leads to force extra
time.

Junior Steve Bonnell wasn't
gunning for glory in the Michigan
men's soccer team's game against
Bowling Green last night. He was
just doingthe dirty work of a gritty
forward.
By doing the "unglamorous" part
of his duty, Bonnell earned man of
the match honors as the Wolver-
ines snapped their four-game los-
ing streak, notching an emphatic
5-2 win over the Falcons (3-8-3).
When Michigan (9-4-1) scores
first, it's undefeated, but it has
never come back to win when its
opponent scores first.
Bonnell got the Wolverines
started on the right foot fewer
than three minutes into the game.

the ball forward, ahead of Bon-
nell, who was racing up the right
side. Though it was too far in front
for Bonnell to settle, he continued
thundering toward Bowling Green
keeper Paul Shoemaker. Shoemak-
er couldn't corral the ball, allowing
Bonnell to tap it in just as it reached
the far post.
Bonnell's unwavering pressure
paid further dividends in the 15th
minute. The Falcons sent the ball
back to their keeper, who prepared
to kick it back into play. But the big
forward was right there, blocking
the kick and slipping it into the net
to give his team a 2-0 lead.
"The unglamorous part of the
job for forwards is the defensive
tracking," Michigan coach Steve
Burns said. "That's just great to
see (Bonnell) finally be rewarded,
because he's done so many great
things in that position other than
' get the goals."
The whole team returned to the
form that carried it to its best-ever
start to a season. On a cool, perfect
night for soccer, the Wolverines

jumped out to an early lead. They
were disciplined, not taking a sin-
gle card the entire game - for the
first time in what seems like ages,
there were 11 men on the pitch for
all 90 minutes. By the time Bowling
Green managed its first goal, Mich-
igan had already scored four times.
Comingback to Ann Arbor didn't
hurt, either.
Instead of heckling from the
sidelines, the Wolverines heard
only the tireless support of the soc-
cer-crazed drummers who attend
each game. Even with a relatively
small Wednesday-night crowd, the
team drew on the positive energy of
its fans.
Jarun capped off the feel-good
night with his first-career goal in
just his second career start. For-
ward Jake Stacy ran into traffic at
the goal mouth and got the ball to
Jarun, who tucked it into the right
side of the net.
"It's just a great feeling," Jarun
said. "(The goal was) nothing too
crazy, but hopefully there'll be
some fantastic goals in the future."

Led by sophomore Ashley
Bauer, the Michigan women's
golf team finished fourth out of
16 teams in the Price's Give 'Em
Five Intercollegiate in Las Cru-
ces, N.M.
Bauer's three-round total

score of 222 was just three shots
out of first place.
As a team, Michigan finished
just six strokes behind the first-
place team, Oklahoma. The
team's 908 combined score was a
season-best for three rounds.

The story of South Florida's
rise from nonexistence to pow-
erhouse may make you all warm
and fuzzy, but it's gotten old. Did
you know when South Florida
coach Jim Leavitt started there,
he had to work out of trail-
ers? Yes, ESPN, I did know that
because I'm reminded of it every
day! Luckily all the campy fluff
stops tonight because the Bulls
will not go unscathed. They play
Rutgers on the road, a former
feel-good story until the Scarlet
Knights blew it against Mary-
land and then again against Cin-
cinnati. Now with no National
Title hopes, Rutgers looks for-
ward to a wide-open conference
title (gee, that sounds familiar).
Nothing boosts a home team
more than the bright lights and
the TV cameras. The No. 2 team
has lost each of the last two
weeks. Tonight makes three.

Man, the Gators must really
be kicking themselves. In a sea-
son where one loss doesn't mean
a team is out of the race, they've
already lost twice (both to SEC
East teams, no less). But just like
Rutgers, a win this weekend puts
Florida back into the confer-
ence title hunt. Unfortunately,
they have to travel to Lexington,
Ky., where Kentucky has been
unconscious this season. Erase
the slip-up in South Carolina and
the Wildcats would very likely
be No. 1 in the nation right now.
Kentucky quarterback Andre
Woodson went from a relative
unknown to a household name,
and there's no better game for
him to make a case for the Heis-
man Trophy. It's foolish to pick
another top-10 upset, but I find it
difficult to believe Urban Meyer
will let his squad lose three con-
ference games this season.
