14 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, October 20, 1995 Men tankers prepare for both season and Olympic trials By Riyaz Bhlmani For the Daily The best team on Michigan's campus does not play on a court or on a field. The Michigan men's swimming team competes at Canham Natatorium and when they hit the water, they hit it hard. Last year, the Wolverines finished with a 9-1 record and won the NCAA Championship. This year, they are ex- pected to win it all again. Michigan features a strong team with six returning All-Americans and a promising freshman class. Standing on the pool deck behind these great swimmers is coach Jon Urbanchek. Last year Urbanchek was named NCAA Coach of the Year, after he led the Wolverines to their 10th consecu- tive Big Ten title and the national championship. The 1995-96 swim season opens this Friday when the Wolverines host Cal- Berkeley. Last year, the Golden Bears were ranked fifth in the country. The Wolverines will be without their top swimmer, junior Tom Dolan, this weekend. Last season Dolan won his second U.S. Swimmer of the Year award, but he will not compete for the Wolverines until January. Right now, he is training for the Olympic trials in March. In fact, the team's first priority is the Olympic trials. "We have many swimmers who have Olympic talent," said Urbanchek. "Their first goal is to prepare for the trials in March, and then defending theirNCAA title." "We have some big holes to fill on this team," Urbanchek said. "We don't have Dolan or last year's star Gustavo Borges." Still, Michigan is returning 14 letterwinners. The international spotlight of Michi- gan swimming falls on Turkey's Derya Buyukuncu, 'the Philippines's Ryan Papa and Canada's Owen von Richter. "We have a great deal of interna- tional stars," Urbanchek said, "A num- ber of them participated in world cham- pionships and hadatremendous amount of success." Buyukuncu is Michigan's best in the backstroke. This All-American's records include the U.S. Open record in the 100 meter backstroke and the Turk- ish national records in the 100- and 200-meter events. Competing in the backstroke with Buyukuncu is another sophomore Ryan Papa. His personal accomplish- ments include Philippine records in the 100, 200 backstroke and the 100 freestyle. As a freshman, last season, von Rich- ter won All-American honors in four different events. Also, he was the Cana- dian national champion in the 200 and 400 freestyle. Jason Lancaster is another powerful swimmer who specializes in the freestyle and the individual medley. Lancaster owns five Michigan records and medaled in three events in the last World University Games in Japan. Joining this tremendous crew of world-class swimmers is a highly touted freshman class. Eleven of the country's best high school talents are expected to join the squad and main- tain Michigan's tradition of swim- ming excellence. Freshmen who are expected to make an immediate im- pact are Tom Malchow, Andy Potts and John Reich. Malchow comes in as the best high school swimmer in the state of Minne- sota last year. He already has interna- tional experience after a great deal of success at the World University Games and the Pan-American Games. Malchow's classmates Andy Potts and John Reich have also encountered national recognition. Potts comes from New Jersey holding the state records in the 400 individual medley and the 1500 freestyle. Reich is from Valrico, Fla., where he was named 1995 Florida High School Swimmer of the Year in his school's division. "We have a great deal oftalent on this team," Urbanchek said. "We're prepar- ing for the Olympic trials and then we will defend our title." Picks are made against the spread. t..

Linebacker Jarrett Irons has recorded 59 tackles while Rob Swett has 48. It will be rough going for the Hoo- siers on the ground. Advantage: Michigan Michigan passing offense vs. Indi- ana passing defense: The Wolverines have not been im- pressive this season in the air. Their 196.7 a game average puts them in the middle of the pack in the Big Ten. Griese, who threw for just 96 yards two weeks ago against Northwestern, or Carr, who struggled in his only ex- tended playing time last season against Wisconsin, do not give Michigan much to look forward to. The Hoosiers' pass defense is fourth- best in the league at 102.6 yards per game. The Wolverines should be able to advance through the air against Indi- ana, but don't look for any spectacular performances. Advantage: Even Indiana passing offense vs. Michi- gan passing defense: The Hoosiers have their own prob- lems at quarterback. Starter Chris Dittoe injured his knee giving Adam Greenlee the start last week against the Hawkeyes. Greenlee, a fifth-year senior and former walk-on, connected on 12 of 29 passes for 11i1 yards in his first career start. The Wolverines give up 99.6 yards a game in the air. They shouldn't be tested by Indiana, though. The Hoosiers average 157.3 yards per game, good enough for dead last in the conference. Advantage: Michigan Special teams: Alan Sutkowski is second in the con- ference with a 43.1 yards per punt aver- age for the Hoosiers. Placekicker Bill Manolopoulos, an All-Big Ten pick in 1993, has hit on seven of 10 field goals this year. For the Wolverines, Nate DeLong continues to be impressive and placekicker Remy Hamilton has hit on 10 of 13 tries. The Wolverines have plenty of choices when it comes to a return man. Toomer and Hayes are capable ofbreak- ing big returns at any moment. Indiana has Ajamu Stoner and Eric Matthews returning punts and kickoffs. Advantage: even Overall: Michigan has a decided advantage5 in many aspects of the game. The Wol- verines should have no problem mov- ing the ball against Indiana. It remaim to be seen, though, if Michigan cat finish off a drive by putting it in th endzone. Indiana's offense should suffer at much as it already has, against the Michi gan defense. The Hoosiers have no been able to top 13 points in four o their six games this season. The Wolverines have won 20 of th last 21 meetings between the teams They'll make it 21 tomorrow. Prediction: Michigan 24, Indiana 1 POLO HOOSIERS ContInued from Page 12 Indiana will also be missing Batts' 3.3 yards per carry. Batts is out with a knee injury, which he suffered Oct. 7 against Illinois. Sean Glover will take the spots va- cated in the backfield by Smith and Batts. Glover stepped up for the Hoosiers last week, rushing for 199 yards on 48 carries against the Hawkeyes. Adam Greenlee will be getting just his second career start Saturday against the Wolverines. His first start came last week at Iowa when he re- placed Dittoe, who is out with a knee injury, at quarterback. Even banged up, though, the Hoo- siers impress Carr. "Indiana, despite some unbeliev- able injury problems, was very im- pressive at Iowa," he said. "They're a typical Bill Mallory team that plays with a lot of emotion." As for Mallory, he knows he has a tough challenge if he wants to beat Michigan and pick up Indiana's first conference win. "They're a typical Michigan foot- ball team," Mallory said. "They're tough, talented, well-coached and play with a lot of pride. "We're going to have to play, with- out question, the best game of our season if we want to win." k .. 3 .. .. 9 .,.

Michigan faced a difficult gami against the Flyers, but managed to pul out the victory before taking on th Aggies in a matchupthat proved to bi a game of quarters. Patrick Hanchin scored midwa: through the first quarter, putting Michi gan up, 1-0. The Wolverines went on to win easily Michigan easily handled the Wild cats and the Eagles to close out th weekend, but the Wolverines felt the: could have performed at a higher level "We did what we had to do to win, junior Louis Lambert said. "But w definitely could have played better." Over the weekend, Lambert led th team with 15 goals. Senior John Miedler topped the Wol verines with 12 assists. Juniors Mal Maasdam and Steve Gilbert chipped i six and seven assists, respectively. Michigan hopes to keep improvin to solidify its spot among some of th nation's best club teams. "Any team wants to play as a tear and win and (we) want to take home th Big Ten title," Lambert said. This weekend, the Wolverines hea to East Lansingto play aplethora ofBi: Ten contests. "To me, the importance of this tour nament is that the seeding of the Bi, Ten Championships is at stake," Miedle said. "And the fact that either a first c second (place finish this weekend will give us a place in the College Clui NationalChampionships." What kind of career can you have at, J.P. Morgan?
