Chromik back in action
after year lost to injury

The redshirt junior 
learned a great deal 
during her time off 

the field

By LELAND MITCHINSON

Daily Sports Writer

To 
say 
that 
the 
2014 

Michigan field hockey season 
was 
a 
disappointment 
for 

Caroline Chromik would be an 
understatement.

After appearing in all 20 

of the Wolverines’ games her 
sophomore season, the redshirt 
junior 
defensive 
midfielder 

missed her entire junior year 
with a knee injury.

Now that she has a clean bill 

of health and has been awarded 
a redshirt year, she is ready to 
start helping her team on the 
field again.

“Being off for a year and then 

coming back, my first game I 
remember the pregame jitters 
were 
incredible,” 
Chromik 

said. “It made me realize that 
my opportunity to play here 
is something very valuable, 
and not everyone gets the 
chance, so it made me feel very 
fortunate and it put things in 
perspective.”

Though 
she 
started 
her 

career as an outright defender, 
Chromik will see more time at 
midfield this year. She wants to 
be able to anticipate plays and 

be a more aggressive player this 
season, though her role on the 
team is still mainly a defensive 
one.

“Sitting out for an entire 

year makes me realize my skills 
are rusty,” Chromik said. “But 
there are things I can control 
regardless of how good a field 
hockey player I am, like work 
ethic, so intercepting balls and 
being a really aggressive player 
is something I think I’ve become 
even more (since) sitting out.”

Chromik’s position on the 

field 
is 
not 

the 
only 

change in her 
contributions 
to the team. 
Voted captain 
by 
her 

teammates 
for 
the 
2014 

season, 
she 

matured 
into 

a more vocal 
leader on the 
team because her injury kept 
her from helping her teammates 
on the field.

“I think it’s always hard 

for anyone as a competitor in 
college to have such a serious 
injury and have to sit on the 
sidelines,” said Michigan coach 
Marcia Pankratz. “Their role 
abruptly changes from being 
an important player on the field 
to their role being someone 
who is now in a support role 
on the sideline and that’s really 

hard. … It gives you a different 
perspective and has made her 
a better player and a better 
leader.”

Added Chromik: “I had to be 

vocal even when I didn’t want 
to. I didn’t know that role, but 
I had to break out of my shell 
in that way. It’s good, because 
it has translated over onto the 
field now and I’m not afraid to 
speak what I think, and I think 
the team respects a lot of what I 
say now that I have experience 
both on and off the field.”

Chromik’s 

return 
adds 

one 
more 

key piece to 
an 
already 

strong 
defense. The 
unit — with 
senior Lauren 
Thomas and 
redshirt 
senior 
Mackenzie 

Ellis starting on the back 
line — looks to be one of the 
foundations of the team this 
season. 
However, 
Pankratz 

admits the season is still young 
and the team is in the process 
of finding its identity after five 
games.

As the season progresses, 

Chromik will be looking to take 
the lessons she learned from her 
time on the sidelines and make 
an impact on the field once 
again.

Junior guard Zak Irvin is set 

to undergo a back procedure 
at the University of Michigan 
Hospital and will miss six to 
eight weeks, the Michigan men’s 
basketball program announced 
Wednesday.

“We expect a 100 percent 

recovery for Zak after this 
procedure,” 
said 
Michigan 

basketball coach John Beilein in 
a statement. “We will not rush 
his return, but given Zak’s work 
habits and determined attitude 
we anticipate he will be back 
on the court and at full speed 
sometime near the beginning of 
our season.”

Irvin was a key piece in 

Michigan’s offense throughout 
the 2014-15 season, averaging 
14.3 points per game. He shared 
team MVP honors with senior 

guard Spike Albrecht.

The 
Wolverines 
return 
a 

dearth of experience this year 
after losing only senior forward 
Max Bielfeldt following the 2014-
15 campaign. Irvin, with two 
years of consistent play under his 
belt, again figures prominently 
into 
Michigan’s 
offensive 

outlook after leading the team in 
3-pointers last year and posting 
double-digit scoring figures 27 
times.

Harbaugh downplaying 
homecoming, wants win

By ZACH SHAW

Daily Sports Editor

To those who have experienced 

it, there can be something truly 
magical about Michigan Stadium 
on a fall Saturday. The band, food, 
cheering and 110,000 football 
fans create an event experience 
few can match.

But just days before the 

Michigan football team’s home 
opener against Oregon State, 
the Wolverines’ coaching staff 
has something else on its mind: 
winning.

“There’s a time and a place for 

nostalgia,” said Michigan tight 
ends coach Jay Harbaugh. “When 
you’re in the thick of it week to 
week, and you have meetings, 
practice, you don’t think about 
that kind of stuff. I don’t know if 
that’s hard to believe, but it really 
is true. … You just really want 
to play well, and the other stuff 
takes care of itself.”

As much as fans want to build 

up and romanticize the idea of 
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh 
— who quarterbacked the team 
from 1984 to 1986 — making his 
way down the tunnel for his first 
game back at Michigan Stadium, 
the coach refused to let nostalgia 
take priority when discussing his 
thoughts on the moment.

“(It’s the) same as the thoughts 

were last week — to win our next 
game,” the elder Harbaugh said 
Monday.

Though plenty of coverage 

has surrounded the head coach’s 
return to Michigan Stadium 
(SportsCenter will even broacast 

live from Ann Arbor to cover 
the homecoming), the coach 
downplayed the emotions and 
excitement of his return again in 
a teleconference Tuesday.

“It will be the thrill of 

preparing for a ballgame and 
watching the players compete,” 
Harbaugh said. “I know exactly 
what (I want) the emotions to be 
— the thrill of competition.” 

Michigan 
running 
backs 

coach Tyrone Wheatley — a star 
running back himself for the 
team from 1991 to 1994 — can 
empathize 
with 
Harbaugh’s 

sentiments about returning to the 
Big House. He hasn’t forgotten 
his time at Michigan Stadium, but 
knows his experience is different 
from those in the stands.

“You have to understand, when 

I was a player, I was running 
those stadium stairs,” Wheatley 
said in August. “So most of my 
memories (of Michigan Stadium) 
are of running those stairs 
thinking, ‘Oh god.’

“My focus (since I got here) 

has always been, ‘I’m here for a 
reason, let’s get to work.’ ”

Since the new coaching staff 

has arrived, much of that work 
has 
surrounded 
recruiting. 

Michigan has a top-10 recruiting 
class by most rankings, and 
will show at least a half-dozen 
recruits around Ann Arbor this 
weekend.

But as much fun as Michigan 

Stadium can be, the coaches 
know the best way to make a 
lasting impression.

“It’s exciting for the young 

guys to see 110,000 people fill the 
stadium, but I tell the guys that 
no matter how many fans are in 
the stadium, the dimensions of 
a football field never change,” 
said defensive backs coach Greg 
Jackson. “So when our guys go 
out on the field, we’re all excited 
to play, but we can’t get caught 
up in the fans in the stands. The 
dimensions of the football field 
stay the same, and when that 
whistle blows, we’ll be ready to 
play.”

Added 
Jim 
Harbaugh: 

“There’s a bad taste in our mouth 
when you lose a football game, 
and there’s only one mouthwash 
for that, and that is winning a 
football game, so that’s what 
we’re going to make darn sure on 
what we’re going to focus on.”

After dropping the back end 

of the Husky Nike Invitational 
in Seattle this past weekend, the 
Michigan women’s soccer team 
is looking to revive its winning 
ways.

The 

Wolverines 
(4-2) 
will 

face 
their 

first 
ranked 

opponent 
on 

Sunday 
in 

No. 13 Notre 
Dame, 
but 

before heading 
to South Bend, 
they have one 
team in their 
way. Michigan 
will host in-state competitor 
Central Michigan this Thursday 
night.

The Chippewas (1-2-1) are 

coming off a 2-0 win against 
Youngstown 
State, 
their 

first 
victory 

of the season.

Central 

Michigan 
goalie 
Zoie 
Reed 

posted 
her 

first 
career 

shutout in the 
match.

“She 
had 
a 
really 
good 

confidence-building 
performance,” 
Central 

Michigan coach Peter McGahey 

told Central Michigan’s athletic 
website.

To fully take control of 

the 
match, 
the 
Wolverines 

must handle the ball with 
finesse 
near 
the 
goal 
and 

exploit any free space given 
by Reed. Sophomore forward 
Taylor 
Timko 
continues 
to 

be an influential force up top, 
recording five goals already this 
year. But Timko is not the only 
contributing factor — 13 other 
players have tallied points in 
just six games.

Leading the Big Ten in shots 

per game with an average of 21.5, 
Michigan will look to continue 
its offensive dominance and 
exploit its opponent’s defense as 
it continues into the rest of its 
schedule.

The Wolverines completed 

a triumphant 3-0 victory at 
their last meeting with Central 
Michigan in 2014. To repeat this 
outcome, though, they’ll have 
to convert on their plethora 

of 
scoring 

opportunities.

“The 
main 

thing is just 
that 
we’ve 

got to finish 
our chances,” 
said Michigan 
coach 
Greg 

Ryan 
after 

Sunday’s 
loss 

against Washington. “This has 
been the thing that we’ve been 
trying to develop so far, because 
we’re getting enough chances to 
win games.”
