year," Berenson said. "Blackburn is
still our starter and we have a very
capable backup in Keven O'Malley."
Instead, Bacashihua will likely
become the backup goalie for the Ply-
mouth Whalers - the major junior
team that owns his rights - next sea-
son. With the Whalers, he will not
have the burden of schoolwork to
worry about, enabling him to concen-
trate solely on hockey.
"Playing for Michigan was very
important to him," his mother Carol
Bacashihua said from the family's
home in Dearborn. "That was his life
long dream. From the time he started
playing hockey, he had wanted to be a
Wolverine."
If Bacashihua had decided not to
enter the draft, the coaching staff was
willing to give him a second chance
and keep a scholarship open for him
the following year.
"Between the full scholarship to
Michigan and the chance for him to
live so close to home, I think this was
a very difficult decision for him to
make," Freeze head coach Guy Perron
said. "He sat down, listened to all the
people, weighed all of his options and
didn't make his decision until the last
second."
The Michigan coaching staff is not
worried about the loss of Bacashihua
and is aware they have plenty of time
to recruit a goalie for the 2002 sea-
son.
"All this means for our team is the
following year we have the opportuni-
ty to recruit another goalie," Berenson
said. "I think we will get a lot of calls
- we already have - from prospec-
tive goalies. This is one of the most
enviable goalie opportunities in col-
lege hockey - to play at Michigan."
It is not unusual for a Michigan
goalie to start as a freshman.
All three of the previous goalies -
Steve Shields, Marty Turco and
Blackburn - started for the entire
length of their collegiate careers.

tying run from scoring and ended the
inning with his cat-like reflexes.
Earlier in the day, Michigan earned
the right to play Minnesota by beating
No. 4-seed Penn State 10-2. The
Wolverines scored in bunches, includ-
ing a three-run first inning blast by
Brock Koman, his 14th homerun of the
year.
Michigan added two more runs in
the fifth inning and had a five-run sev-
enth inning to route the Nittany Lions.
Rich Hill lasted 7.2 innings and gave
up just three hits on the day.
Michigan also eliminated second
seed Purdue by a score of 10-2 on
Thursday night, led by Scott Tousa's
two homeruns and Bobby Wood's 10
strikeout, complete-game performance.
Michigan was in danger of being
eliminated in each of these games after
losing its first game to top-seed Ohio
State 8-4 on Thursday afternoon.
The Wolverines rallied from a 4-0
deficit to tie the game in the fifth
inning. The Buckeyes pulled away in
the seventh inning, scoring three runs
off Michigan starter Bobby Korecky.
As runner-up of the Big Ten Tourna-
ment, the Wolverines exceeded many
people's expectations after finishing
the regular season just 26-26 and 10-14
in the conference.
"We just came down with the idea,
play hard, no one expects anything of
us except us, and see what happens,"
coach Geoff Zahn said.
"After the first night, I think we
played our kind of baseball. That's
what we needed to do all year," Tousa
said. "We showed a lot of promise and
battle here at the end."
"We're better than a six seed and we
showed that at this tournament," Tousa
said.
