Michigan’s defense keys on 
aggressiveness, confidence

By JAKE LOURIM

Managing Sports Editor

In Saturday’s game against 

UNLV, the Michigan football 
team’s 
defense 
allowed 
just 

235 total yards (92 rushing, 143 
passing), forced eight punts and 
intercepted two passes.

But another number stuck 

out to the Wolverines. And it 
frustrated them: seven points 
allowed.

“We wanted that shutout,” 

said junior cornerback Jourdan 
Lewis on Monday. “They weren’t 
supposed to score. We weren’t 
supposed to let them score, so we 
let up seven points, and that’s the 
biggest statistic we’re supposed to 
fix. There wasn’t supposed to be 
points on that board.”

Michigan 
blanked 
Oregon 

State for the last 58 minutes of 
its second game of the season 
heading into the UNLV game. 
An early touchdown prevented 
a shutout in that game, but the 
sentiment was the same: Rather 
than being pleased with giving up 
just seven points, the Wolverines 
were upset that they allowed even 
that many.

And it’s that sentiment that has 

Michigan among the top defenses 
in the country.

“Since spring ball, there’s been 

an increase in that (mentality),” 
said 
secondary 
coach 
Mike 

Zordich on Wednesday. “It’s 
something we want to build on. 
We’ve got a long way to go, but it’s 
something we want to build on.”

The first step in building on it 

will be Saturday at home against 
Brigham Young. Through three 
games, 
the 
Wolverines 
rank 

seventh in the nation in total 
defense and are tied for 12th in 
scoring defense. But they haven’t 
faced an offense as potent as 
the Cougars’, led by freshman 
quarterback 
Tanner 
Mangum 

and a host of receivers. They have 
the ability to pose an issue for 
Michigan.

But the Wolverines can counter 

with aggressiveness. They pulled 
down two interceptions Saturday. 
On 
one, 
junior 
cornerback 

Channing Stribling jumped a slant 
route and snatched the ball out 
of the air. On the other, redshirt 
junior cornerback Jeremy Clark 
stuck with his receiver, used his 
hands to gain separation and 
turned around at just the right 

moment for the interception.

Michigan might need those 

kinds of plays in its tough games 
going forward.

“We’ll line up Jourdan Lewis 

against 
a 
(6-foot-6 
receiver), 

scrappy as Jourdan is, that’s a 
tough matchup,” Zordich said. 
“But that’s how we’re going to 
play it. They’ve got to fight, for 
sure.”

And fight the Wolverines have 

on defense in each of their first 
three games. While they’ve had 
struggles of their own, they’ve 
also helped out the offense by 
getting a stop when needed or 
gaining valuable field position.

In order to do so, they’ve 

developed a confident attitude 
that’s the hallmark of all great 
defenses. More than once this 
year, Michigan has dug in while 
defending its own red zone or 
come up with a turnover to give 
the offense an opportunity.

“It might sound bad, but 

we kind of thrive off those 
situations,” said senior linebacker 
James Ross III. “We like them. 
I mean, we would like to limit 
them, but if it happens, we love 
to be back on that field, and we 
love to get the ball back for our 
offense, so if that happens we go 

back out there and we look at it as 
an opportunity. We try to do our 
best and get the ball back.”

The Wolverines will need 

that mindset, too: Their games 
are about to get closer, starting 
Saturday. 
They 
might 
find 

themselves behind and in need 
of a stop to stay in the game, or 
just ahead and in need of a stop to 
protect the lead.

As Michigan has struggled over 

the past few years, its defense has 
been more of a stopgap than a true 
asset. The Wolverines are ready 
to take the next step, aided by a 
high confidence level.

“We can be the best in the 

country if we just continue to use 
our technique,” Lewis said. “Just 
need to get the ball back, honestly. 
Need to improve on turnovers, get 
more turnovers. That’s the main 
goal.”

Asked on Wednesday about 

Lewis’ comment, Zordich — his 
position coach — smiled.

“That’s what we want them to 

think,” Zordich said. “Certainly 
the work they produce has to 
match that. We absolutely want 
that kind of attitude for those 
guys. It helps. Certainly their 
position requires that kind of 
attitude.”

Jourdan Lewis goes for a pass breakup in Michigan’s win against UNLV.

Michigan defeats Oakland, 4-1

By KEVIN SANTO 

Daily Sports Writer

ROCHESTER, Mich. — If you 

blinked, you might have missed 
it.

In the 41st minute, freshman 

forward 
Francis 
Atuahene 

received the ball on the left wing 
and — in 
a 
fashion 

that 
is 

becoming 
all too familiar to opposing 
defenders — bolted to the goal 
line before serving a perfect ball 
back to the penalty spot.

Redshirt 
sophomore 

midfielder 
Michael 
Kapitula 

found himself in the right place 
at the right time and shot the ball 
into the open net.

Kapitula’s finish broke a 1-1 tie 

and completely altered the tone of 
the game, as the Michigan men’s 
soccer team went on to cruise to a 
4-1 victory against Oakland.

“It was the last five minutes of 

the half, and Oakland had a lot of 
possession before that,” Kapitula 
said. “I feel like the goal changed 
the momentum of the game. I just 
wanted to put myself in a good 
position, and I did. The ball came 
to me, so I had a tap-in.”

The Wolverines (1-0-1 Big 

Ten, 4-2-1 overall) were the 
first to strike in the match, 
when freshman midfielder Ivo 
Cerda headed junior defender 
Rylee Woods’ corner kick from 
the six-yard box past Grizzlies’ 
goalkeeper Wes Mink in the 16th 
minute.

But Michigan’s lead was short-

lived. In the 19th minute, junior 
defender Lars Eckenrode took 
Oakland forward Gerald Ben 
down in the 18-yard box for a 
penalty kick.

Ben stepped up to the ball and 

calmly finished it up the middle, 
as sophomore goalkeeper Evan 
Louro dove early in anticipation 
that the shot would be directed to 
the right.

For the ensuing 22 minutes, 

Oakland (0-1-0 Horizon League, 
3-4 overall) had the Wolverines 
frustrated and on the defensive, 
maintaining 
the 
majority 
of 

possession and forcing Michigan 
to play long balls to its target 
forwards. The Grizzlies drew six 
fouls in the same timeframe — a 
sampling of the physicality of the 
matchup, in which the two teams 
accumulated 33 fouls and five 
yellow cards. 

Eventually, Kapitula and the 

Wolverines recovered to finish 
on an opportunity that sent them 
into halftime with a lead.

“When we made it 2-1, I think 

that was a dagger,” said Michigan 

coach Chaka Daley. “Oakland had 
a little sense of belief after getting 
a penalty kick that could get them 
going, and we stifled that pretty 
quickly (when Kapitula) put it 
away nicely.

“Ramp up the intensity was 

the conversation at halftime. And 
make sure we’re not complacent 
with 2-1. And I think the guys 
did a great job of responding to 
that.”

Michigan 
ended 
the 
half 

with a 10-4 shot advantage and 
carried the momentum from 
Kapitula’s goal into the second 
half.

At the onset of the second half, 

the Wolverines regained control 
of possession and dictated the 
pace of play, while finding ways to 
combine with each other instead 
of sending long balls.

And as Michigan’s pressure 

on Oakland mounted, Atuahene 

finally put the game out of 
reach in the 64th minute. After 
receiving a ball near the 18-yard 
box, Atuahene carried the ball 
to the corner of the six-yard box 
before firing a shot near-post past 
Mink.

From that point, Michigan 

coasted to victory, and senior 
forward William Mellors-Blair 
added a fourth goal in the 85th 
minute to put the finishing 
touches 
on 
the 
Wolverines’ 

fourth win of the season.

After coming away victorious 

Sunday in its first Big Ten game 
against Northwestern, Michigan 
followed 
up 
the 
impressive 

performance with a win over 
an in-state foe the Wolverines 
haven’t 
always 
fared 
well 

against.

Now the key for Michigan is to 

stay consistent as it heads into the 
bulk of the Big Ten schedule.

‘M’ defies history 
in blowout victory

By KATIE CONKLIN

Daily Sports Writer

ROCHESTER, Mich. — It 

was clear that the Michigan 
men’s soccer team was in enemy 
territory during its Wednesday 
night game at Oakland. The 
game drew a crowd of more than 
800 spectators, and students 
gathered on the hill adjacent to 
the field. Others chose to observe 
from a bird’s-eye view, perched 
atop the neighboring parking 
garage, while young fans rallied 
the crowd in a “Let’s go Oakland” 
chant near the goal line.

They 
came 
expecting 
a 

Grizzlies win. 

Most 
would 
make 
the 

assumption that the Wolverines 
would come out on top, especially 
after they won their 150th game 
in 
program 
history 
against 

Northwestern, 3-0, earlier in 
the week. Michigan holds a 
9-1-4 overall record against the 
Grizzlies, but recent history 
indicates 
that 
visiting 
their 

campus is no easy task.

During their past three visits 

to Rochester, the Wolverines 
have not been able to pull away 
early, resulting in the nail-biter 
finishes Oakland fans have come 
to expect.

With 
all 
three 
previous 

meetings at Oakland Stadium 
extending 
into 
an 
overtime 

period, 
games 
between 
the 

two teams have been anything 
but boring in recent years. The 
record between the in-state foes 
on Grizzly turf remains 1-1-1, and 
the fans, enjoying success against 

the state’s flagship university, 
remember.

The crowd arrived for a show, 

but it was one the Wolverines 
weren’t aware of. 

“(We) don’t know anything 

about the past,” said Michigan 
coach Chaka Daley. “The past is 
gone.”

Michigan took the field with 

this mindset, prepared to earn a 
win regardless of prior results.

The Wolverines were the 

first to hit twine. Freshman 
midfielder Ivo Cerda knocked 
in a header near-post off a short 
cross just over 15 minutes into the 
match.

However, 
the 
Grizzlies 

retaliated quickly, capitalizing on 
a penalty kick opportunity. The 
back-and-forth scoring kept the 
many spectators enthralled.

But first to the ball at the 

start of the second half, the 
Wolverines began to capitalize 
on their shots and took advantage 
of opportunity.

The 
viewers 
remained 

absorbed in the match well into 
the second half, not because it 
was the even game they came 
to watch, but because of the 
numerous scoring chances the 
Wolverines created. With 21 
shots on goal, Michigan kept the 
bystanders on their toes, never 
knowing when they could slip a 
ball into the back of the net.

“If we can live up to the 

standard the team has set, and we 
can live up to that standard every 
single game … we’ll get what we 
deserve out of every single game,” 
Daley said.
