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.”
