Michigan sweeps Delaware, No. 22 Maine

By LIZ VUKELICH
Daily Sports Writer
Liesl Morris ended the No. 10
Michigan field hockey team's 2-0
shutout against Maine hungry.
She's hungry for more Wol-

Because
the senior captain, who tallied
her first collegiate goal on Sun-
day afternoon, has a little wager
going with the rest of'the team.
"A goal a game would be nice,"
Morris reflected. "If I get 12
goals, my (jersey) number, (my
teammates) will take me to Frito
Batidos. (It's) a lot to look for-
ward to."
Michigan capped off the
weekend more optimistic about'
its season than when it started.
The Wolverines countered their
first pair of losses of the season
with two wins in their first home
stand - against Delaware on Sat-
urday and then against the 22nd-
ranked Black Bears the following
afternoon.
Freshman forward Shannon
Scavelli scored the Wolverines'
first goal at the 14-minute mark
on Sunday, redirecting a penal-
ty-corner from junior Rachael
Mack.
According to Michigan coach
Marcia Pankratz, that first goal
was important for orienting the
rest of the team.
"With a young group, you're
trying to keep them in a positive
frame of mind," Pankratz said. "I
think we kept (Maine) on their
heels, which was one of the talk-
ing points of pregame."
It didn't take much longer for

Senior captain Liesl Morris shoots for the magic goal No. 12, with a little help from her teammates.

the Wolverines to cap off their
scoring against Maine. Five min-
utes later, junior Michelle Rob-
erts dragged Maine's goalie and
defenders left, and then found
Morris in the circle. Morris dove
forward to finish the play and
tip the ball past the Black Bears'
goalie.
Though Morris maintains that
the team got a little "flat-footed"
in the last 10 minutes ofthe game,
it wasn't too visible. Though the
match remained scoreless and
Michigan stayed on the defensive
end, the Wolverine offense main-

tained possession, marking four
penalty corners and six addition-
al shots on goal.
But Morris's goal still
remained the highlight of the
match. She doesn't usually play
at forward - generally sticking
to midfield- but finding the back
of the net was nothing more than
instinct. And for Pankratz, it was
just the kind of thing she likes to
see from her captains.
"I didn't think she was going
to reach (the ball), but it was,
pretty cool for her first goal to be
such an outstanding one. I hope

to see more for her. She is ver-
satile, hard working and doing a
great job leading our team. I'm
happy for her."
The Wolverines were coming
off a high from the day before,
when redshirt sophomore Leslie
Smith netted her first career hat
trick.
And since the Wolverine's
game plan worked so well against
the Blue Hens, they didn'tchange
much when they took on the
Black Bears 24 hours later.
At this early point in the sea-
son, the focus isn't so much on

Michigan's opponents as it is
intrinsic issues.
"Each team, you have to come
up with a different game plan
(but) before the game today, we
talked about our game plan, just
keep the pace high, the level high
(and) do what we've been doing
in practice," Scavelli said.
After Sunday's victory, Pan-
kratz couldn't stop gushing when
thinking about her players.
"The synergy of the team is
important and we've got a great
group of women," Pankratz said.
"It's been fun to coach them."
