6A - Thursday, October 27, 2011 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com 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), second and se also ea sive Ph "Ha Michig "Most, the ba' think t in fron some r kept u happy record, means shots o Kop: other record n re * in save percentage (.840) man goalkeeper Zaryn Jennings cond in shutouts (6).

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. Michigan prepares for grudge match with Purdue By ALEX BONDY against Indiana.

The Wolverines spend more time on their own errors along with utilizing their famil- iarity of the Big Ten. "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 they were last time." 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.
