Fencers
hope to
foil foes
at Ohio
State
by Ryan Herrington
Daily Sports Writer
As the saying goes, all good
things must come to an end. So it is
with the Michigan fencing club's
three week hiatus from.competition.
The Wolverines look to shake the
cobwebs off their weapons before
their schedule resumes this Saturday
at Ohio State.
While the team is not looking at
this weekend's meet in Columbus as
a burden, it does head into the
competition with the disadvantage of
not having had a formal practice in
more than a month. And whatever
momentum the fencers might have
gained from their strong showing at
the Michigan Invitational 26 days
ago has been all but forgotten.
"It's going to be a rough
tournament," said senior fencer
Philip Issa. "We should do okay but
there is no way to tell how the team
will perform (due to the lack of
practice this week)."
Questions also surround how
good the team's opponents will be
in Columbus. The fencers will face
teams from Illinois, Michigan State,
Northwestern and Purdue, as well as
host Ohio State. While the Fighting
Illini and the Buckeyes have been
perennial quality opponents, there is
no consensus as to who is the real
favorite going into the tournament.
"We don't really know who are
the stronger teams," said Issa. "MSU
should do well and Illinois has al-
ways been tough. We'll have to wait
and see."
Saturday's duels mark the first
meet of the collegiate team season
for the Wolverines. Each school in
Columbus can have three fencers,
male or female, in the sabre and epee
classes. In addition, men's and
women's foil allow for three and
four fencers, respectively, to round
out their teams. The meet is solely a
team competition, with no rewards
for any individual performances.
Michigan will have Issa, Tom
Constantino and Jeff White in the
men's foil with team president Sarah
Hipp, Laura Eilers, Bonny Chen and
Leah Beecher in the women's. Russ
Turner, Nik Weber and John
Tintinaoli will duel in the sabre
class while Ted Morrison and Eric
McAlpine will compete in the epee.
Following this weekend's festiv-
ities, the Wolverines will resume
their normal training schedule of
practices Monday through Thursday
nights at the Sports Coliseum. The
fencers look forward to resuming
practices in their attempt to continue
their winning trend that began at the
close of 1990.
The team is hoping that the trend
is one good thing that won't come
to an end.

Young
wrestlers
head hfor*
Virginia
by Josh Dubow
Daily Sports Writer
Even though the Michigan
wrestling team starts seven first or
second-year wrestlers, it goes into
this weekend ranked ninth in th
latest poll by the Amateur Wrestling
News. Michigan (4-0) will face its
toughest test of the young season
when it takes on a mat full of top-
ranked teams this weekend at the
National Team Duals in Hampton,
Va.
The Wolverines, seeded eighth
out of sixteen teams in the tourney
will face the young, unseeded Okla-&
homa Sooners in the first round Af
the double elimination tournament.
Michigan should have the edge in
this youth vs. youth matchup with
four Wolverines - Joey Gilbert
(134 pounds), Sean Bormet (158),
Lanny Green (177) and Phil Tomek
(Heavyweight.) - ranked in the top
12 nationally of their respective
weight classes.
Coach Dale Bahr will also insert
a new wrestler in the lineup this
weekend as transfer student Bill
Mercer (167), from the University of
New Mexico, becomes eligible this
weekend. Mercer, a sophomore, will
replace first-year wrestler Kevin
Williams, who has struggled so far
this season with a 4-7-1 record.
"Kevin is going through the
typical freshman syndrome," Bahr.
said. "He lost a few early matches
and now has lost confidence in
himself."
Bahr is looking for his veterans
to provide leadership in the team's
first-round matchup.
"Our stars and leaders really need
to come through for us," Bahr said.
"If we can win those matches, our
other guys should score enough
points for us to win."
However Bahr is less optimistic
about the Wolverines' probable
second-round matchup against two
time defending national champion
Oklahoma State.
"They are ranked first nationally,
and are an experienced team," he
said. "We don't have much of a
chance against them."
Bahr has not looked ahead at the
Wolverines' chances after the secondO
round.
"After OSU, I don't even know
who we could be wrestling against.
We'll just take it one match at a
time," he said.
The coach looks forward to the
learning experience his team will
gain by participating in Virginia.
"It's a great opportunity to
wrestle against a team of Oklahoma
State's caliber," Bahr said. "Our
guys should learn a lot by wrestling
against a top team, and hopefully it
will pay dividends as the season
progresses.
"It will be really exciting to see
OSU and Iowa (ranked second)
wrestle. They should meet in the
finals and that will probably be a
preview of the national champion-
ship," Bahr said.
