'M' falls to Northwestern
Ulehla welcomes stiff tests
First-year varsity
program falls to
top-10 team
By AZALEA HINOJOSA
For theDaily
Frustrated shouts from the
sideline filled Oosterbaan Field
House Tuesday afternoon
as the Michigan women's
lacrosse team took on No. 8
Northwestern.
The Wolverines (0-5) began
the tough matchup sluggishly,
allowing
their MICHIGAN 6
opponents N'WESTERN 20
to score
four unanswered goals in
the first five minutes of play.
Those first few minutes were
indicative of how of the rest of
the game would play out, ending
with a 20-6 Northwestern win.
Though the Wildcats (4-2)
were in possession of the ball
for the majority of the first
half, the Wolverines managed
to break past midfield and take
eight shots on goal. Few of these
shots found the net.
Following the missed
attempts, the Wolverines called
the only timeout of the game as
the first half wound down. It
proved helpful when freshman
attacker Lauren Oberlander
finally landed a shot les than
three minutes later. I
The goal brought the score to
10-1, breaking Northwestern's
10-goal streak and serving as
motivation for thetwo Michigan
goals that followed, which were
scored by freshman midfielder
Anna Schueler and freshman
attacker Sophie duPhily.
But as the game went on, the
Wolverines' shouts were slowly
drowned out by the Wildcats!
cheers of their own.
Michigan only scored one of
the next nine goals, bringing
the score to an insurmountable
15-4.
"We need to realize that
when we get down on the field
we need to spread out more
and pass the ball," Oberlander
said. "Make sure that we're
getting open for our teammates,
especially since they were
double teaming us a lot."
Northwestern's aggressive
performance hindered the
Wolverines' offense, only
allowing it to take half as many
shots as the Wildcats.
Michigan regained some
momentum by scoring back-to-
back goals toward the end of the
second half.
The first goal was made by
duPhily, and the second was
sent flying in by freshman
midfielder Kim Coughlan,
top.
Much can be learned from
a challenging matchup like
this one, especially for a team
of freshmen going up against
Northwestern, a squad that
has won seven of the last nine
NCAA championships.
Michigan coach Jennifer
Ulehla agreed that a game
against a top opponent like the
Wildcats was an enormous task
to overcome.

or lose.
The Wolverines' first-year
coach understands that while it
is hard for her fledgling team to
compete with the nation's top
teams, in the long run it will be
beneficial for the program. In
its first five games, Michigan
(0-5) has already faced No. 5
Florida and No. 8 Northwestern
(4-2), a program that has won
seven of the last nine national
titles. While both have ended in
lopsided defeats, Ulehla knows

team can take something away the effort they can.
"Northwestern is an
incredibly talented team, so for
us to have that opportunity -
especially on defense, the way
they worked our defense - was
really a great chance for us to
get better," Ulehla said. "We're
making progress, it just takes
time. In our last game, we came
out real flat and were more or
less watching the other team
play as opposed to competing."
The offense, while only
scoring six goals, looked more
engaged and competitive than
it had since its home opener,
committing fewer unforced
turnovers than in previous
games and creating some wide-
open looks in transition. Several
posts and some acrobatic saves
by the Wildcats' goalie kept the
Wolverines from adding a few
more goals.
"One of the things
(Northwestern) isn't doing as
well this year is getting in and
getting balanced defensively,"
Ulehla said. "To just get the ball
and go hard was one of our goals."
Compared to her team's last.
game against Florida, which
ended 20-4, Ulehla saw some
improvement.
"It was similar in the score, but
different because I felt we were
working much better as a team.
I thought the effort was better,"
Ulehla said. "It's about getting a
young group moving forward."
While coaching a first-year
program comprised solely of
freshmen is a rare occurrence,
Ulehla has been through the
situation before. She was an
assistant coach for Florida in its
inaugural2008 season and stayed
there until 2010. The Gators have
since become one of the nation's
top programs, a rise she is hoping
to duplicate at Michigan.
"A lot of what we're going
through right now is what I
went through at Florida," Ulehla
said. "It's a good thing for me
because it keeps me grounded
and reminds me that we're
building - and we're building
a foundation this year and each
and every experience is a great
opportunity to get better. The
future is bright. This is gonna
be a tough year, but we're gonna
get better."

Michigan women's lacrosse coach Jennifer Ulehla hopes that her team's tough schedule will lead to success in the future, as it did when she coached at Florida-.
