EAST LANSING - Any contest
between Michigan and Michigan State

EAST LANSING - One year can
make a big difference.
After sporting the deadliest power play
in the nation last season, Michigan (7-2-
0 CCHA, 10-3-0 overall) fired blanks in
a 4-3 loss to Michigan State (8-2-0, 11-4-
0) last night at Munn Ice Arena.
Michigan has struggled a bit with the
man advantage this year - including
the 0-for-4 effort against the Spartans.
The Wolverines had to play without
two key forwards - left wing Jason
Botterill and right wing Bill Muckalt.
Botterill, the Wolverines' leading goal-
scorer, was serving the second game of
a two-game suspension for fighting,
while Muckalt, who is second on the
team in points, was out with a foot
injury.
Both players skate on Michigan's top
power-play unit, which was clicking on
23.6 percent of its chances - good
enough for third-best in the CCHA.
Without the pair of forwards, the Wol-
verines were unable to get much going.
"We're a little shorthanded now,"
Michigan coach Red Berenson said. "It
hurts not having two of your best guys
on the power play."
Michigan had a 5-on-3 power play
for over a minute in the second period
but couldn't even find room to get a
shot on goal. Meanwhile, Michigan
State was two-for-six with the extra
man - and its last opportunity came
with two minutes left in the game when
the Spartans were killing time anyway.
The Spartan win breaks Michigan's
four-game winning streak in the series.
The Wolverines won all four meetings
last season between the intrastate ri-
vals, outscoring Michigan State, 24-11.
The victory also vaults the Spartans out
of a second-place tie with Michigan in
the CCHA standings.
Spartan center Steve Ferranti's shot
trickled in off the post in a flurry in front
of Michigan goalie Marty Turco with
just under five minutes left in the game

for the game-winning goal.
Michigan was poised to take a fifth-
straight series-win and seemed ready to'
do so for most of the game. The Wolver-
ines outshot Michigan State 30-19.
Michigan fired 20 shots at Spartaw.
goaltender Chad Alban in the first two;o
periods while the Spartans could only,
manage only 10 - but Turco struggled
on all ten of them.
"I felt like we had the momentum
after the first two periods," Berenson
said. "From the bench it looked like we-
were right there with him all night.
"Once we got into the third period L
thought we were a better team."
Already down two forwards, the
Wolverines lostjuniorcenter Mike Legg

three lines in the third and the Wolver-
ines seemed to run a little low on fuel.
The Spartans tightened up their de-
fense in the third period, checking the
Wolverines off the puck and holding.
them to just nine shots on goal.
Michigan State looked to hold an
emotional edge all night, playing be-
fore an unusually loud sold-out crowd
at Munn.
"It was a fun victory because the
game was so close," Michigan Sta
coach Ron Mason said. "M ichigafn
played well, but our kids played out--
standing and played their hearts out and,
that's how they have to play to beat a
team like Michigan.
The Wolverines stole the momentum
away from the Spartans late in the third
period.
Freshman Greg Crozier stole the puck
in the Spartan end and fed Warren
Luhning on the right wing. Luhning,
waited patiently in the slot and then slide
a pass to Brendan Morrison who dumped,
the puck into an open net, to tie the
score at three with just under sever

. Steve Fisher has lost his share of
assistant coaches since taking over the
Michigan men's basketball program
-seven years ago.
I Last week, he was informed that cur-
rent assistant Jay Smith would be leav-
-ng at the end of the season to take over
the head coaching position at Grand
. Valley State. Smith is just one of a long
line of Michigan assistants that have
-been offered head coaching jobs else-
where.
K Tonight, the Wolverines (3-2 over-
all) take on former assistant Ray
-MeCallum and the Ball State Cardi-
nals. McCallum was given the Michi-
:gan job after Perry Watson left for De-
.troit.
"This is a marquee program that is
going to create a lot of opportunities,"
Smith said. "I would not have gotten
this chance if it weren't for (Fisher) and
-Michigan. This place and this program
are'second to none."

Where and when: Muncie, Ind., 7 p.m.

McCallum's stint at Michigan lasted
a mere six months and he left for Ball
State before ever coaching the Wolver-
ines in a game.
In his first two years as the Cardinals'
head man, McCallum has led his squad
to a 35-23 record. Last year's 19-11
record earned Ball State a berth in the
NCAA Tournament. This will be the
first game of the year for McCallum's
club.
The Cardinals lost 6-foot-8 forward
Steve Payne to graduation, but return
sophomore Bonzi Wells. Payne led Ball
State last season with 17.3 points and
9.4 rebounds per game.
The Cardinals were knocked out of
the NCAA Tournament in the first round
by Arizona State.
Wells was one of the top freshmen in
the nation last year, averaging 15.8

points and 6.1 rebounds per game at
small forward.
Michigan has had a great deal of
trouble defending guards this season,
which could open the door for senior
Marcus Norris.
Norris averaged 15.0 points per game
during his junior campaign.
He is joined in the backcourt by jun-
ior Randy Zachary. Zachary averaged
6.9 points per game last year and led the
team with 3.5 assists per game.
Ball State had a solid recruiting class,
including two Michigan products.
McCallum lured 6-10 center Robert
Martin away from the Detroit area to
Muncie, Ind.
Martin is expected to fill in for the
departed Payne. He is joinedby Marcus
Mason, a6-5 forwardfrom Mount Pleas-
ant. Martin has only two years of eligi-
bility remaining.
The Cardinals' reputation and mem-
bership in the Mid-American confer-
ence may lead some to believe that the
Wolverines will have no trouble gain-

ing the victory. This is not the case.
McCallum's team is a formidable
opponent for anyone, especially a
Michigan squad that has lacked chem-
istry in the early season.
The biggest positive for the Wol-
verines in the first five games has
been the outstanding play of Louis
Bullock. Bullock has been perhaps
Michigan's most consistent player
with only one lackluster performance
to speak of. He is the second-leading
scorer on the team, averaging more
than 14 points per game.
Tonight's game marks the begin-
ning of three straight road contests
for the Wolverines.
The squad travels to Detroit this Sat-
urday to take on Watson, former Wol-
verine Leon Derricks and the Titans.
Tuesday, Michigan will be in Baton
Rouge to take on LSU.
"Three straight on the road is very
hard," Fisher said. "We need to make
sure that we are making progress, learn-
ing on the job."
