‘M’ continues postseason run
The
Michigan
women’s
basketball team wants to hang a
banner in Crisler this season —
and winning
the WNIT is
its last hope.
In the third
round of the
tournament
on Thursday
night,
the
Wolverines
(11-5 Big Ten,
24-9 overall)
will face off
against
St.
John’s, a team
no current player has ever faced.
But while the Red Storm (10-7
Big East, 22-11 overall) might
be unfamiliar to the players,
Michigan coach Kim Barnes
Arico is very well-acquainted
with them. Barnes Arico coached
St. John’s for a decade before
starting at Michigan in 2012,
making the matchup personal.
“I’ve had an opportunity to
coach a lot of the (former) players
that will be coaching tomorrow,”
Barnes Arico said on WTKA
Radio.
Since she has worked with
many of the Red Storm’s staff
members, one might expect
similar coaching styles, but St.
John’s will almost certainly
have a different game plan than
Arico’s Wolverines.
“They’re
a
tough
team,”
Barnes Arico said. “They are
a really defensive team. They
hold their opponents to about
60 points a game. They’re very
different than we are, so it’s going
to be important for us to get out
and transition and play our style
of play and not really allow them
to slow down the tempo.”
Michigan is known for its
high-scoring
offensive
trio
of
freshman
guard
Kysre
Gondrezick, sophomore center
Hallie Thome and junior guard
Katelynn Flaherty, who average
50.1 points per game together.
St. John’s is also led by a trio of
double-digit scorers, but forward
Jade Walker and guards Akina
Wellere and Aaliyah Lewis tally
just 36.4 points on average.
Recently, Michigan has been
picking up more points from
other players. Junior forward
Jillian
Dunston
scored
eight
points against Wright State in
the second round of the WNIT.
In the first round, senior Siera
Thompson picked up 10 points and
sophomore guard Nicole Munger
added nine to finish off Kent State.
The
Wolverines
ran
into
problems in their last regular-
season games as they were
unable to compensate for other
teams guarding their leading
scorers closely. But in this
tournament so far, Michigan
has utilized its role players more
effectively on offense.
Yet, the Red Storm have a few
advantages over the Wolverines.
St. John’s has six players who
have tallied over 100 rebounds,
while Michigan only has four.
The Red Storm have also blocked
144 shots this season, compared
to the Wolverines’ 111.
With a crack-down on defense,
Michigan will need to continue
to use all five players to rack up
points; and with all the extra
postseason practice, several less
familiar faces may continue to
see more minutes.
“We really gave everyone an
opportunity to contribute and
to show that they deserve some
minutes during this run here
in the WNIT,” Barnes Arico
said. “(Senior guard) Danielle
Williams just had an outstanding
week and she got the start
(against Kent State). And she’s a
senior that hasn’t played a ton of
minutes all year and could have
hung her head and pouted but
really responded.
“(Forward) KeAsja Peace —
one of our freshmen who hasn’t
played a lot of minutes, but a big
kid inside — she got a chance to
get in the game. Kayla Robbins is
another freshman who has really
shown the ability to give us some
great minutes.”
Both teams are trying to
make program history in this
tournament. The Red Storm are
fighting for their first appearance
in the quarterfinals of the WNIT,
while Michigan lost in the
quarterfinals in both of its past
two seasons. But the Wolverines
have a big target on their back.
“Everybody is gunning for
us,” Barnes Arico said. “I think
everybody thinks that we’re one
of the best teams in the WNIT.”

Senior guard Danielle Williams played her way into the starting lineup against Kent State in the first round of the WNIT last week at Crisler Center.
Michigan rallies for win
Western Michigan centerfielder
Tanner Allison hit a liner into the
right-field gap to start a scoring
barrage
that put the
Michigan
baseball
team in a three-run hole in the
second inning.
But the Wolverines’ offensive
stagnation quickly subsided, and
No. 18 Michigan (16-4) scored four
runs in the fourth inning to take
the lead for good.
“I felt like when they put up
three runs it’s no different than
being in a fight,” said Michigan
coach Erik Bakich. “You take a
punch and you just have to get back
up and deliver a punch.”
Junior starting pitcher Jayce
Vancena took the mound for the
Wolverines in what would be a
back-and-forth game, ending in a
6-4 victory for Michigan.
Western Michigan pitcher Chris
Modrzynski started the game
strong, shutting out the Wolverines
through the first three innings.
Michigan was making solid contact
— senior catcher Harrison Wenson
lined a bullet to right field in the
second inning for an out — but
nothing seemed to fall.
In the second inning, Vancena’s
outing looked bleak. The Broncos
strung together four hits and
scored on a fielder’s choice as a
result of a pickle between first and
second, taking a three-run lead.
The Wolverines were quick to
respond, though, as they put their
own surge of offense together
in the fourth inning. Redshirt
sophomore left fielder Miles Lewis
started the push with an infield
hit.
Senior
outfielder
Johnny
Slater walked, and after a passed
ball advanced the two runners,
Wenson singled to left to score
them both.
“We just had to see the ball
deep,” Wenson said. “And that’s
what we did. We had a big inning
there, scored a few runs and
turned the game around.”
The last two runs in the inning
came from a sacrifice fly from
sophomore right fielder Jonathan
Engelmann and a single from
sophomore second baseman Ako
Thomas that brought in Wenson
and designated hitter Nick Poirier,
respectively.
“That’s what I like about our
offense,” Bakich said. “We have
multiple ways of scoring. We’re
not just a sit-back-and-try-to-hit-
home-runs kind of offense.”
Michigan played the small game
right, as single runs in the fifth
and eighth innings, respectively,
extended the lead to three.
Freshman
reliever
Tommy
Henry closed out the game and
collected a hard-earned save as he
let up one run that was initiated by
a bunt for a hit.
The win caps off the Wolverines’
non-conference play as they travel
to College Park to face off against
Maryland this weekend, a team
predicted ahead of Michigan in the
Big Ten coaches’ preseason poll.
The Wolverines will have to bring
their same mentality to throw
some punches at the Terrapins if
they want to establish themselves
in the conference.
Vancena wins on mound
Jayce Vancena’s first start on the
mound for the Michigan baseball
team since his freshman year was
a good one.
The junior right-hander pitched
five innings and earned a win for
the Wolverines against Western
Michigan on Wednesday, 6-4.
During his freshman year,
Vancena started five games and
made 17 appearances on the
mound. During his sophomore
campaign, though, he made just 15
appearances and no starts.
He ended last season with a
5.10 earned-run average and a 2-1
record, but this season has already
shown signs of improvement.
“He earned it,” said Michigan
coach Erik Bakich. “He’s worked
extremely hard, and the game has
a funny way of rewarding hard
workers. It just seems to happen.”
Entering
today’s
game,
Vancena’s ERA was 1.64 through 11
innings. He opened Wednesday’s
contest with a 1-2-3 inning,
allowing his defense to field a
groundout, lineout and flyout.
The second inning proved
more troublesome for the righty.
He faced the Broncos most
prolific threat on offense in
Tanner Allison, who currently is
batting .435. Allison started the
offense off with a double to center
field, and his teammates quickly
followed suit.
Jesse Forestell brought Allison
home for Western Michigan.
Vancena managed to get out of the
inning with two strikeouts and a
tag between first and second, but
that was after the Broncos tacked
on two more runs to go up 3-0.
“His fastball was a little up
in the zone,” said senior catcher
Harrison Wenson. “So what I just
tried to tell him was just, ‘Stay
within yourself, calm down, fill
up the lower part of the zone.’ And
that’s what he did.”
Vancena appeared to make
the necessary corrections in the
following innings, retiring the last
nine batters he faced in order.
Fortunately
for
Vancena,
Michigan had an offensive surge
in the fourth inning in which it
scored four runs, led by Wenson’s
double to left field that earned him
two RBI.
That rewarded Vancena with
a win for an outing in which
he threw 65 pitches and four
strikeouts. But more impressively,
he has yet to walk a batter the
entire season.
“We
always
talk
about
throwing at the knees,” Vancena
said. “That’s something that
myself and a lot of our pitchers
take pride in, in throwing strikes
and throwing down in the zone
to make it tough for the hitters
to hit.”
With a successful game under
his belt, Vancena can be confident
he will be seeing the field more.
How many starts he will earn is
still in question, as it all depends
on if he is needed in relief. But as
long as he is rested, he proved he
can be trusted to go out and try for
a second win.
