After winning its weekend matches in near-duplicate fashion, the club would be a perfect marketing tool. After racing out to 5-1 halftime leads, the Wolverines added five more second half goals to beat Purdue and Indiana, 10-1 and 10-5 respectively. Michigan improved its record to 4-0-1 on the season. Against Purdue, Michigan dom- inated the match early with fast breaks and aggressive defense. Team captain Terrn Mucha, along with Stephanie Andelman, Lia Emanuel and Jackie Sokolow, lead a balanced attack for the Wolverines with two goals each. "Our defense was "perfect in the first game," goaltender Bridget Dorsey said. "I didn't have to work much." In the second game against Indiana, the Wolverines were unable to generate much offense and fell behind 1-0. That all changed, though, when Emanuel gave the Michigan offense a wake-up call, ty- ing the game five minutes into the contest. From there, the Wolverines began to dominate and once again posted a 5-1 halftime lead. "IU came out strong and they were playing very rough and physi- cal," Mucha said. "That got us mo- tivated which allowed us to pick-up some momentum." Michigan seemed to be in con- trol early in the second half after scoring two more unanswered goals, increasing their lead to 7-1. At this point, though, the copy machine be- gan to malfunction. Indiana scored three unanswered goals and cut Michigan's lead to 7-4. The Wolverines then revived their ex- plosive offense with two consecu- tive goals which put away the Hoosiers. The teams then traded goals to make the final score 10-5. The trio of Mucha, Emanuel and Andelman repeatedly penetrated Indiana's defense with shifty one- on-one moves, allowing them either to score or set up teammates for easy goals. "Indiana was double teaming our players in* front of their goal," coach Burt Engel said. 'That lead us to spread things out and go to more one on one moves to get scoring op- portunities."

Recruiting keeps Texas, Stanford onto on tpby Andy D Korte Daily Sports Writer INDIANAPOLIS - When the Michigan women's swimming team travelled to Indianapolis, they hoped to maintain the consistency of the last four years with a top ten finish. Michigan coach Jim Richardson graduated four All-Americans, anF only expected to be able to finish as high as eighth, with some incredible; performances.x The teams that Michigan - and everyone else - is always chasing are Texas and Stanford, one of which has won the NCAA Division I Women's Swimming and Diving Championships every time the competition's conception 10 years ago. Why do the Longhorns and the Cardinal have such a stranglehold on the NCAA swimming title?a These teams have better swimmers, but ultimately only because they arg, able to recruit them. The coach is the key to recruiting. Because Texas coach Mark Schubert and Stanford coach Richard Quick are recognized as the best coaches of the women's swimming world, they have the advantage in recruiting the class of women's swimming. And because these coaches can virtually guarantee improvement anda great chance to win a national championship, swimmers want to swim for them. A lack of unpredictability in recruits keeps other teams from challeng- ing the powerhouses.. When Richard Quick recruited Summer Sanders, he knew he was getting- a World Champion. In swimming, coaches generally know what they arg getting, and the coaches who get to pick first are going to the pick the best swimmers, and the swimmers will be delighted to swim for him.w Regardless of any reputation or coach, there are still personal reasons that influence a prep's choice of schools. However, these too, seem to work for the "name" schools. Texas breaststroker Dorsey Tierney said, "Swimming was the major concern when I was looking at colleges.... It came down to Texas, Stanford; California, but when I went (to Texas), it was because I had swam with( people there, and I really liked the campus and the atmosphere."9 Teams in competitive conferences, such as the Big Ten are at a disadvan- tage when they go to compete at the national meet because they have to fight to win their conference. At the start of the year, Michigan coach Jim Richardson's goals were td win the Big Tens and perform well at the NCAAs. Because his team peaked at the conference meet, they had to regenerate their best times at the. NCAAs. But in the Southwest conference, Quick uses the meet only as a time to prepare and qualify his swimmers for the NCAAs..

University Ave, Ste. 208 Ann Arbor, MI 48104 313-998-0200 Cal o aFR1 9 The Michigan men's lacrosse team brought an unfamiliar 1-2 record into their weekend games against Western Michigan and Indiana University. The team is coming off a 15-3 championship season, one of its most successful in the club's history. The Wolverines went into their weekend contests searching for a way to spell out victory. After impressive back to back win's over Western Michigan 11-8, and Indiana 13-3, the club is learning that the word victory is spelled T-E-A-M. "It was a total team effort," captain Marc Silbergeld said. "There were no individual stars this weekend. Everyone played well." Silbergeld is one of many returning seniors on the Michigan roster. Early season woes forced team leaders to become motivators. What the veterans desire most is for all the players to learn how to play with intensity and play as a team. "We have to keep playing as a team in order to win," Silbergeld said. 'The young players played with intensity. By doing so they the took pressure off the seniors' -Marc Silbergeld Lacrosse captain The team has some talented first- and second-year players, but at times they lack motivation, not playing within the framework of the team's system. By doing so the new team members have placed added pressure on the older players. That was not the case this weekend in the two wins. "The younger players played with inten- sity," Silbergeld said, "By doing so they took pressure off the seniors." The Wolverines now realize that the team concept is everything. The past two games have left the team very optimistic about the rest of their season. Silbergeld spoke in a relieved and confident voice when he summed up the play of his team this weekend, "Finally everything started to click and we played like we were able to," he said.

"They weren't as aggressive (coming out of the blocks) as I had hoped," Richardson said. "I'm not so sure my preparation was everything it could have been, but on the other hand I'm happy they were able to swim so fast at Big Tens," he added. Of course, without those Big Ten times, many Wolverines would not have qualified for the NCAAs. "I am really proud of this<' team," Richardson said. "This was- supposed to be a rebuilding year, and. to suffer this kind of misfortune and still finish 15th in the nation." During the championships a$ number of records were set.* Stanford newcomer Summer Sanders earned Swimmer-of-the- Year honors by setting NCAA records in every event she swam* (200 TM, 400 IM, and 200 Butterfly). Texas' Cris Ahmann- Leighton set the NCAA record in the 100 Fly.
