Page 12-The Michigan Daily-Friday, March 29, 1991 Hockey Wildcats beat Maine, advance to final Men's Associated Press ST. PAUL, Minn. - Northern Michigan took the scenic route to its first NCAA hockey championship game in 11 years. Dallas Drake snapped a tie with 3:13 to play Thursday, lifting the travel-weary Wildcats to a 5-3 semifinal victory over Maine and extending their unbeaten streak to 25 games. Northern (37-5-4), 23-0-2 since last losing on Dec. 21, is the only team from the West represented in the final four. The Wildcats avenged two regular-season losses to Maine - one of only three teams to beat them. The Wildcats didn't arrive in St. Paul until 8:15 p.m. Wednesday - about 12 hours behind schedule - because their flight was canceled due to fog and they had to make a 7 1/2-hour bus ride from Marquette, Mich. "I really felt our guys were go- ing to be tired in the first period be- cause of our screwy trip," Northern coach Rick Comley said. "I felt if "we could keep it tight, we would get better as the game went on. That's what we've been doing all year. It was Maine that got tired at the end, partly because of the Wild- cats' relentless pressure and partly because fourth-line center Dave La- Couture broke his clavicle in the first period. "We had to do some double- shifting and it was a case of some of our players being tired," Maine coach Shawn Walsh said. "When you get tired you make mistakes. We didn't counter as well as we wanted to." Northern had enough energy to respond when it found itself in an unusual position: tied late in the game. The Wildcats are 32-0-2 when leading after two periods but al- lowed Jean-Yves Roy's power-play goal with 9:21 remaining to make it 3-3. With 3:40 left, a bid for a game- winner by Northern's Ed Ward hit the post. But 27 seconds later, Drake set up his own winner by leading Kevin Scott into Maine ice. Scott's slap shot was stopped by goalie Mike Dunham, but Drake was alone for the rebound. track LSA STUDENTS It has come to the attention of the LS&A Curriculum Committee that some final exams have been re-scheduled in previous semesters at times other than those posted in the Time Schedule. The Curriculum Committee views this as a trend that may not be in your best interests. Re-scheduling exams into earlier time periods may mean that you will lose the final class period; it may mean that you are denied review time in class; and it may rob you of study days. The committee wishes you to know what the regulations are with regard to this practice and to know your rights as students. The Faculty Code says: An instructor may not depart from the official schedule unless prior approval of the Final Examination Committee is obtained. o* All students are expected to take their final examinations at the time fixed inthe official schedule of examinations. No single studentmay be examined at a time earlier or later than the official time unless a mutually agreeable time has been arranged in advance bythe student and the instructor. Whether used for lecture or review, the committee believes thatyou have the right to have your final class periods and the complete assigned Study Days-few as they are. If an instructor re-schedules an examination, you have a right to take itat the scheduled time period. If you experience any difficulty in this regard, please see Assistant Dean Eugene Nissen (1402 Mason Hall; 764-7297) or Mr. Alfred Stuart, University Registrar (1510 LSA; 764-6280). Michigan sprinters Suzi Thweatt (2nd from left) and Michele Bishop (far right) race for the finish line at the Red Simmons Invitational earlier this year. Thweatt, Bishop and the rest of the sprinters will open the outdoor season in St. Louis this weekend. Runners hope to shake off cabin fever in outdoor season goes west4 by Chris Carr Daily Sports Writer Once again, a Michigan team is going to California to. compet4 against a Pac Ten opponent. How- ever, this time it will not be the Wolverine football team. Instead, the men's track team will compete in its version of the "Rose Bowl" when 11 of its mem= bers travel to Stanford to compete in Big Ten-Pac Ten Challenge on Saturday. The meet, the first of its kind, will be a dual meet between the two conferences. "The meet was Stanford's idea," Michigan assistant coach Mike McGuire said. "It is a novel concept, and they are trying to drum-up interest with television) coverage." The meet will be covered bi ESPN and PASS. Both networks will air portions of the meet at - later date. In the field events, pole vaulterstBrad Darr, Toby Van Pelt; and Matt Scharel will represent Michigan, along with high jumpers Brad Holwerda and Dan Reddart Seniors Warde Manuel and Al Sarafian will compete in the javelin. The meet will kick off the Wolverines' outdoorrseason ano give them their first real taste of the caliber of Western competi- tion. "It will be interesting to com- pete against teams we do not nor- mally get the chance to," Darr said. "It will also be nice to vault with guys that I am normally competing against, like Jimm Stack from Indi- ana. He is a great vaulter." "There is so much more I have to deal with when I am jumping outdoors," Holwerda said. "Tue runway conditions and the weather have a definite effect on my perfor- mance." In the running events, seniors Jeff Barnett, Brad Barquist a1nd Neal Newman along with junior Jerry Douglas are expected to com- pete. Douglas will run the hurdles, and Barnett and Barquist will be in the distance races. by Jeff Williams Daily Sports Writer The Michigan women's track team may not be the next cover story in Field and Stream, but after last winter's indoor season, Wolverine coach James Henry is looking forward to the great out- doors. "We had a disastrous indoor season," Henry said. "We are down, but we're not out." Henry has his Michigan team prepared to open its outdoor season at Washington University in St. Louis. The Wolverines also send sophomore shot putter Julie Vic- tor, and senior half-miler Amy Bannister to compete at the Stan- ford Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif. "They're really itching to get into the season," Henry said. "We have really worked hard after our (indoor season) conference meet. The majority of our team is strong, and people are starting to get healthy again." The Wolverines' health was a major question during the indoor season. Due to illness and injury problems, Michigan lost approxi- mately 50 points at the Big Ten Championships and finished fourth. "It was very discouraging," Henry said. "If any luck was be- stowed to women's track, it was bad luck. If we had good luck, we would have finished one or two in the Big Ten." The Wolverines have lost the services of senior distance runner Mindy Rowand-Schmidt. Rowand- Schmidt, the Big Ten 5,000- and 10,000-meter outdoor champion last year. She was declared ineligi- ble because she violated redshirting rules during her rookie season. "She is being penalized for the administration misinterpreting the rules ... it seems (the NCAA is) stepping on her rights," Henry said. "Losing her is a big blow. She is a shoe-in for 20 points a meet. We'll be looking for a number of people to step forward and pick up the slack." Junior Suzi Thweatt and frosh Richelle Webb are expected to ex- cel in St. Louis. Both will compete in the 100- and 200-meter sprints, while Thweatt will also run the 100-meter hurdles. Strong performances will also be necessary from the Wolverines' 400-meter hurdle contingent of Lisa Adams, Laura Jerman, and Debbie Mann if the Wolverines are to make a solid showing. "We have high expectations," Henry said. "We should place in the top three for every event we contest." I' I " .. THE TOMB IS EMPTY.
