Kopmeyer sets saves record in third season
By STEVEN BRAID
Daily Sports Writer
The Michigan women's soccer
team is on pace to give up its most
shots on goal for a season since
2005.
Fortunately for the Wolverines,
redshirt junior goalkeeper Haley
Kopmeyer has made sure most of
those shots have
not found the NOTEBOOK
back of her net.
Against Ohio State last Friday,
Kopmeyer set the single-season
record for most saves by a goalie
when she recorded her 100th save
of the season - becoming the first
goalie with triple-digit saves in
the program's history.
"It's a great accomplishment
and it's nice to have your name
in the record books, but I look
at it like this - if I didn't make
those saves, those shots would be
goals," Kopmeyer said. "It's my
job to make those saves. If I didn't
hold the record for most saves
then I would have the record for
mostgoals allowed."
With 105 saves this season,
Kopmeyer broke her previous
record of 95 saves set two years
ago. The record not only displays
her superb ability to protect the
net, but it also demonstrates her
durability. She's played in all 1,660
minutes of Michigan's season.
With her fantastic play this
season, Kopmeyer has cemented
herself as one of the Big Ten's best
goalies. She ranks first in the con-
ference in saves per game (5.83),

four games at the Michigan Soc-
cer Stadium, reeling off consecu-
tive wins and starting the season
with an impressive 4-1-0 mark at
home.
But the Wolverines' success at
home swiftly turned into misery.
They lost their final three games
in Ann Arbor, concluding their
2011 home schedule with a disap-
pointing record of 4-5-1- winless
at home since a Sept. 9 victory
over Western Michigan.
Michigan's frustrating home
record can be pinned on its inabil-
ity to find the back of the net. The
Wolverines haven't scored a goal
at home in more than a month -
a span of four games, dating back
to their 3-2 loss to Minnesota on
Sept.23.
The Wolverines were 6-1-2 at
home last year and 4-2-4 the year
before.
JOCKEYING FOR POSITION:
Currently sitting seventh in the
Big Ten with a 4-5-1 conference
record, Michigan will lock down
a bid to the Big Ten Tournament
with a victory over Illinois in its
regular season finale.
Just the top eight teams in the
conference make the tournament.
Unfortunately forthe Wolverines,
12th-place Northwestern gets an
automatic bid due to hosting, so
Michigan will have to finish with-
in the top seven teams.
Alongwith the Wolverines, five
other teams - Iowa, Minnesota,
Ohio State, Nebraska, and Purdue
- will be competing for the last
three spots into the tournament.
The six teams are all within two
points of each other.

"Being the second round, you
have played most of the teams, so
you know tendencies and can pre-
pare a little better," Donhoff said.
While Purdue (6-3, 18-3) is the
tougher of this weekend's oppo-
nents, Saturday's match against
Indiana is not being ignored. The
Hoosiers (0-10, 8-15) have not
won a match since Sept. 16, but
Rosen does not want his team to
overlook them.
"Indiana is a different team
since the first time we have olaved
them," Rosen said. "They have
changed their lineup a lot. They
are playing a little better than

Both Rosen and Donhoff
stressed the importance of not
taking any Big Ten opponent too
lightly.
"Any team in the Big Ten you
have got to prepare for the same
way," Donhoff said. "You have
got to come into practice, play
hard, expect that each game in
the weekend is goingto be a tough
game."
The second round of the Big
Ten is the opportunity the Wol-
verines have been waiting for to
return as the unstoppable team
they were a month ago.
