"It's very good to get out on the field fter what happened two weeks ago and ut it behind us," quarterback Brian r briese said. "We know we're a confi-rj lent football team and we went out and played well today." Griese didn't know until after pre- game warm-ups that he would be the starter for the Wolverines. He missed a lot of practice drills the last two weeks with a bruised shoulder. "I had some real reservations about Brian because during this week he had limited practice in terms of throwing the football," Michigan coach Lloyd Carr said. "I did not think he practiced particularly well. "I watched him in pregame and I thought he threw the ball with good velocity. He certainly came in and took some good shots.

Daily Sports Writer For the Michigan hockey team, Fri- day night's game was like tearing the seat of your pants. It's unexpected, embarrassing and unwanted all at the same time. Friday night, the Western Michigan hockey team was the tear in Michigan's pair of pants after it spanked the Wol- verines, 7-2, in game one of the week- end series at Yost Ice Arena. Michigan (1-1 CCHA, 2-1 overall) was thoroughly embarrassed in front of a home crowd of 7,152 in the first conference matchup of the season. It was certainly unexpected by a team that seized the No. I spot in the polls after trouncing Guelph last Saturday. "It was a bad game for our team," Michigan coach Red Berenson said. "You think you're better than you are and you think you're going to do what you did last year, but this is a new team and a new season. Our kids tried, but it just wasn't there." The Wolverines bounced back Sat- urday night to split the series with West- ern. Michigan won, 3-2, in a very physi- cal game in Kalamazoo. The Broncos' intensity and domi- nance were obvious early in Friday's game. Michigan was thoroughly outplayed in every way despite outshooting Western, 33-24. Western controlled the first face-off, and most of them thereafter, in a game that was never in question. Western's first score came at 9:50 in the first period after Steve Duke fired a shot from the point that deflected off of Michigan goalie Marty Turco's pads. Kyle Millar tapped in the rebound past an off-balance Turco.

By Chris Murphy Daily Sports Writer The Michigan women's swimming team seemingly cannot beat the Cardinal. It doesn't seem that the Wolverines are involved in a fierce rivalry with their west-coast nemesis. It is just that they have never beaten Stanford. They have suffered four losses in four meet- i.ngs. Saturday night was no exception as Michigan came up short, 174-126. Entering the season ranked No. 1, the Wolverines faced the prospect of deal- were still up for the challenge. "I would rather swim (Stanford) than not swimthem," Richardson said. "Even if they're not in the same training cycle as us, they're a team you want to com- pete against." Michigan's most important goal is to be able to swim at a competitive level in the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments. These meets will not be held until Feb- ruary and March. In terms of growth, each meet will play a key role in the team's develop- ment. Richardson has already seen competed," Richardson said. "For where we are right now, I am really pleased." Michigan was able to get solid per- formances from several team members. The difference was in the Cardinal's execution and consistency throughout the match. "I think Stanford swam an outstand- ing meet for Oct. 21," Richardson said. While the Wolverines were able to kick off the meet with a victory and a pool record, they were not able to sus- tain their intensity enough to beat Stanford. cepted a pass from Jason Botterill. Muckalt drilled the shot which slid un- der Western goalie Marc Magliarditi. Muckalt's goal proved to be Michigan's only productive moment of the contest. Muckalt, Hilton and Botterill were the only Wolverines to notch points throughout the night. The turning point of the contest took place during a Michigan power play op- portunity. Jeff Rucinski spent time in the penalty box after holding John Madden at 1:39 of the second period. The penalty puck slid across the blue line which set up a breakaway for Western's Jamal Mayers. He converted the goal to put the Broncos up, 2-1. After that, they never looked back. "Things just didn't go well (for me)," Madden said. "Even when I thought I could hit the net with a shot, somehow it got deflected." Western tore through a Michigan de- fense that was thinner than tissue paper.
