A LOOK AT IOWA-- The Hawkeyes (8-6, 2-3 Big Ten) have dropped to No. 23 in the Associated Press e Women's Top 25 after being ranked as high as 11th this season. Iowa split on the road over the weekend, losing to Indiana 74-59 and defeating Ohio State 88-68. It was the first time since 1985 that Iowa had lost to Indiana. The Hawkeyes have also suffered losses to Wisconsin (78-67) and Purdue (84-7 5 OT) in Big Ten play, with their other conference victory coming over lllinois ( 63-47). Iowa has won just two of its last seven games, but two of its losses in the last month have come against ranked teams- No.6 Georgia (62-51) and No. 16 Washington (71-61). WATCH FOR-- Sophomore forward Toni Foster carries the Hawkeyes inside with a 15.6 points/game average. She scored 16 points against Ohio State and 10 against Indiana. Foster is shooting 56.4 percent from the field and averages 7.5 rebounds/game. Helping out in the front court is freshman Necole Tunsil, who averages 7.6 points and 3.5 rebounds/game. She scored 14 points against the Buckeyes. The middle is anchored by senior Felicia Hall, who has been bothered by a knee injury after an anterior cruciate ligament tear over the summer. Hall, who played just seven minutes against Ohio State, is backed up by sophomore Molly Tideback, a transfer from UCLA. Tideback became eligible Jan. 15 after sitting out the spring and fall semesters due to NCAA transfer rules. She scored eight points and tallied four rebounds in her 13-rninute debut against Ohio State. Senior point guard Steph Schueler directs the Iowa offense. Schueler, who averages 12.3 points/game, led the Hawkeyes with 20 points on 6-of-10 shooting against Ohio State. She scored two baskets from three-point range and was 6-of-8 from the free throw line. Junior guard LaTonya Tate has started 13 games for Iowa and scored 15 and 14 points in the two games over the weekend. Iowa's other double-figure scorer, junior forward Trisha Waugh, has been out with back spasms, but could return to action this weekend. Waugh leads the Hawkeyes in rebounding with an 8.3 rebounds/game average and ranks third in scoring with an 11.4 points/game average. SERIES VS. IOWA-- Iowa leads 16-11 and has won the last 13 straight over Minnesota. The last Gopher win over the Haw keyes was Jan. 20, 1984 by a 57-55 score at Williams Arena. The last Minnesota A win at Carver-Hawkeye Arena was Feb. 27, 1983 by a 78-53 score. .., IOWA COACH-- C. Vivian Stringer (Slippery Rock '70), coaching in her eighth season at Iowa, has a record of 172-49 (.778). In her 19th season as a collegiate head coach, she has a 423-100 (.809) overall record.

MINNESOTA RECENTLY-- The Gophers (4-12, 0-6 Big Ten) increased their losing streak to six games over the weekend, losing 78-64 to Ohio State and 92-63 to Indiana. Minnesota was down by just five points at halftime against the Hoosiers, 34-29, but five three-pointers in the first six minutes of the second half by Indiana guard Kris McGrade helped the Hoosiers put the game out of reach. Minnesota has not won a game since Dec. 30 when it defeated Western Carolina in the third-place game of the Western Kentucky tournament. With the two losses on the road, the Gopher Big Ten road losing streak also increased to 23 games.

SHUDLICK GETS BACK ON TRACK -- Freshman forward CAROL ANN SHUDLICK (APPLE VALLEY, MN) is back to scoring in double figures as she racked up 20 points against Indiana and 15 against Ohio State. Shudlick, who has not reached the 20-point mark since the fourth game of the season, scored 12 points in the first half against the Hoosiers on a 6-of-8 shooting :erformance. She finished the game shooting 9-of-13 from the field and 2-of-3 at the line. Shudlick's playing time has been steadily increasing as she recovers from a tibial stress fracture.

CARVER CLIPS-- Sophomore forward STACY CARVER (MONTROSE, MN/BUFFALO), who is also seeing increased playing time while her tibial stress fracture heals, may have a case for starting versus coming off the bench for Minnesota. Carver has started five games for the Gophers this season and has scored in double figures in all five contests, including recording a career-high 19 points against Ohio State. In the eight a games in which she has come off the bench, Carver has scored in double figures just twice. W

KRAMER CONSISTENCY-- Senior forward ELLEN KRAMER (ROSEVilLE, MN/ALEXANDER RAMSEY) can always be counted on for an offensive spark. She has scored in double figures in every game but one this season, leading Minnesota in scoring in nine games and in six of its last eight. Kramer has also hit the double-figure mark in rebounding in six games and in two of the last three. With 18 and 21 points over the weekend, Kramer has now scored a career total of 1,212 points, which ranks seventh on the all-time Minnesota scoring chart. She needs 133 points to reach the sixth-place slot. She also ranks in the top ten in rebounding with 645 rebounds to her credit, moving into the eighth spot on the list over the weekend. She needs 25 rebounds to reach the seventh position.

THE COACH-- Minnesota first-year head coach Linda Hill-MacDonald is 170-142 (.545) in her 11th season as a collegiate head coach, including a 4-12 (.250) mark at Minnesota.

GOPHERS FACE TWO MORE NATIONALLY RANKED TEAMS THIS WEEKEND- Minne sota lost to No. 16 Indiana its opening dual meet of the season Sunday and will have to battle two more ranked teams this week in No. 21 Brigham Young (Fri.) and No. 20 Utah (Sat.). Both meets are in Provo, Utah. Brigham Young (3-0) defeated No. 14 San Diego 6-1 Thursday and followed with a 7-2 win over Wisconsin Friday and a 6-2 victory over Trinity University (Texas) on Saturday. Utah (1-4) lost 9-0 to top ranked Stanford Friday and lost to No.5 Cal-Berkeley on Saturday (score unavailable). The Utes lost the previous weekend to No. 11 Pepperdine (6- 3) and No. 3 UCLA (5-4). Utah's lone win was over in-state rival Utah State (9-0). Neither BYU or Utah has any players ranked in the nation's top 50.

MOE GETS BIG WIN IN SEASON-OPENING LOSS- Junior JENNIE MOE (EDINA, MN) had Minnesota's biggest win in nearly two years in the Gophers 6-3loss to Indiana at the 98th Street Racquet Club on Sunday. Her win over Indiana's 17th-ranked Stephanie Reece 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 at No. 1 singles was also the best win of her career. Prior to Moe's win over Reece, no Minnesota player had defeated a player ranked higher than 30th in the ITCA/Volvo coaches poll since former Gopher Anne Gorde defeated No. 30 Amy SchwartzofMiami (Fla.) 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 on March 1, 1989. Moe's previous best career win came in the opening round of last season's Rolex National Indoor Intercollegiate Tennis Championships, when she defeated No. 47 Nathalie Rodriguez of South Carolina. Moe came into this season ranked 46th in the preseason poll, but is unranked in the current poll, which runs through March 12. The poll ranks the top 50 singles players in the country and the top 20 doubles teams.

DOUBLES WINS IMPRESSIVE DESPITE DEFAULTS- Minnesota got two free wins when Indiana defaulted at No. 1 and No. 3 doubles in order to catch a plane back to Bloomington, Ind. But both matches could have resulted in Minnesota wins had they been completed. At No. 1 doubles, Moe and doubles partner A SOFIE OLSSON (ASMUNDTORP, SWEDEN/GULLSTRANDSKOLAN) had defeated Reece and W Gretchen Doninger7 -6 (9-7) in the first set and were losing 3-0 in the second set. At No.3 doubles, freshman JENNIFER MARQUES (LAGUNA HILLS, CA) and sophomore VICKY KOLARIC (WILLOUGHBY HILL, OR/NOTRE DAME ACADEMY) were playing a strong match despite trailing 5-7, 3-5 to the Hoosiers' Brenda Hacker and Danielle Paradine.

MILESTONES- Moe and Olsson now have 58 doubles wins as a team, one shy of the school's all-time record for wins by a doubles team (59 by Leslie Larm and Karl Sandvig from 1977 -80). Both players have 61 individual career doubles wins, tying them for 14th on the all-time Gopher list. With 18 dual matches remaining on the schedule along with the Rolex National Indoor Championships and the Big Ten championships, the duo could become only the third Gopher doubles team to win 30 matches in a season and the first since 1982-83. INDOOR TRACK & FIELD

MINNESOTA INVITATIONAL REVIEW- The Gopher women's indoor track and field team came in second place last weekend at the Minnesota Invitational, as UCLA squeaked by with a 114-112 victory at the University Fieldhouse.

DISTANCE DERBY- Minnesota scored 54 of its 112 points in three impressive distance-race wins Saturday night. In the 5000m senior LAURA DUFFY (KENNEBUNK, ME) led a Gopher sweep of first through fourth places with her winning time of 18:07.9. The most exciting race of the night might have been the800m,wheresophomoreMONIKABALINT(BUDAPEST,HUNGARY)beatLauraChapelofUCLA and Kim Liggins of Virginia for the victory. Balint's time of2:10.93 was .16 off her school indoor record A that she established at last year's Northwest Open.

The 3000m was won by junior CHRIS ROWE (SIOUX FALLS, SD/O'GORMAN), who continues to shine as one of the top distance performers in the Big Ten. In her first attempt at the distance, Rowe led from start to finish and won by seven seconds in a time of9:50.45, the top time in the Big Ten this season and the fourth-fastest in Minnesota indoor history. Minnesota Women's Sports News -7-7-7-7- 1/28/91

INDOOR TRACK & FlEW CONTINUED -- MARKS OF NOTE- Senior RACHEL LEWIS (SIOUX CITY, INNORTII) continues to flirt with the national qualifying standard in the shot put. Saturday's effort of 49-5 3/4 was less than five inches away from the 49-10 1/2 standard. That marks the third time in three meets that Lewis has come within five inches of going to the national meet. Sophomore SARAH REDMAN (WAVERLY, WOCONOMOWAC) im proved her 55-meter hurdle time to 8.51, just .02 off her personal best in the event.

TENNIS ~~~~~====~==~====~~~~~ MOE, OLSSON TO FACE NATION'S BEST IN ROLEX -The Gopher women's tennis team will not be in action until Feb. 22, when Minnesota will continue its dual match schedule at Northwestern, but two Gophers will be participating this week in the Rolex National Indoor Intercollegiate Tennis Championships, one of the top collegiate tournaments in the country. Juniors JENNIE MOE (EDINA, MN) and SOFIE OLSSON (ASMUNDTORP, SWEDEN/GULLSTRANDSKOLAN) will be the Gophers wildcard entry in doubles and Moe (12-6 season singles record) will be Minnesota's singles wildcard entry. Moe and Olsson (17-4 season doubles record) will be playing in doubles for the third straight year and Moe will be playing in singles for the second straight year. Last year Moe became the flrst Gopher ever to advance in the singles draw when she defeated South Carolina's Nathalie Rodriguez 6-3, 6-2 in the flrst round before losing to Georgia's Stacey Schefflin 7-6 (7-4), 6-2 in the second round.

GOPHERS DROP TWO MATCHES IN UTAH- It was a tough weekend for the Minnesota women's tennis team as the Gophers lost 8-1 to 21st-ranked Brigham Young on Friday and 9-0 to No. 20 Utah on Saturday. Both matches were played in Provo, Utah. The lone weekend victory by Minnesota was by Moe and Olsson at No. 1 doubles Friday. They defeated Brigham Young's Evica Koljanin and Monika Kobilikova 7-6 (7-3), 7-5. It was the Moe/Olsson duo's 59th career doubles win, tying for the most in school history. Former Gophers Leslie Larm and Kari Sandvig combined for 59 doubles wins from 1977-80.

MINNESOTA IS ROLEX HOST FOR FOURTH STRAIGHT YEAR- The Rolex National Indoor Intercollegiate Tennis Championships tournament is the third leg of the ITCA Collegiate Grand Slam. It is the fourth straight year that the University of Minnesota men's and women's athletic department's have been involved with the tournament. The tournament features a 32-player singles draw and 16-team doubles draw for both men and women. e TOURNAMENT A SHOWCASE OF COLLEGIATE TALENT- For the second straight year, Stanford's Sandra Birch and Georgia's AI Parker will highlight the field for the Rolex National Indoor Intercollegiate Tennis Championships. Birch and Parker, both seniors, occupy the No. 1 positions in the women's and men's Volvo Tennis/Collegiate Rankings, thanks in part to the fact that each won the flrst leg of the ITCA Collegiate Grand Slam (Riviera All-American Championships and Volvo Tennis/Collegiate Championships, respectively) for the second straight year. Challenging Birch and her No. 1 ranking this year will be Stanford teammate Debbie Graham, the 1990 NCAA champion, and Duke's Julie Exum, the winner of the DuPont National Intercollegiate Clay Court Championships (the second leg of the ITCA Grand Slam). Other players to watch include Florida's tandem of Nicole Arendt and Andrea Farley, who was the Rolex runner-up last year, Trisha Laux of USC and Georgia's Shannan McCarthy. Birch and Graham are the No. 1 doubles team, while reigning Rolex doubles champions Susan Gilchrist and Joanna Plautz of Texas will be back to defend their title. Parker will get competition from teammate Patricio Arnold, who is No. 2 on the Volvo Tennis/ Collegiate Rankings after an 18-4 record in the fall, which included the DuPont National Clay Court title. Others to watch are Byron Black of USC, Notre Dame's David DiLucia, LSU'sJohan Mil brink and Texas Christian's Luis Ruette.

GOPHERS CRUZ, UIHLEIN, WERWIE IN MEN'S BRACKET-Junior BRIAN UIHLEIN (LAKE FOREST, II..) is the Minnesota men's singles wildcard entry, while seniors KEVIN WERWIE (SHEBOYGAN, WI) and ANTHONY CRUZ (MEDINAH, II..) will form the wildcard men's doubles team.

SOFTBALL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MINNESOTA SOFfBALL AT THE DOME-For the first time since 1977, the Minnesota softball team will open the season at home by hosting the first-ever Metrodome Softball Classic Feb. 9-10. The tournament is the first-ever event for the Minnesota women's athletic department at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, which opened its doors in 1982. The Gophers hope to use the tournament as a springboard toward a spot in the national rankings and contention in the 1991 Big Ten race.

CLASSIC FORMAT- Each of the six teams in this weekend's tournament will play three games, with the two best records advancing to Sunday's 5 p.m. championship game and the next two best advancing to the 3 p.m. third-place game. The tournament schedule is as follows:

Saturday, Feb. 9 Sunday, Feb. 10 9 a.m. Concordia vs. Nebraska 9 a.m. Concordia vs. Northern Iowa 11 a.m. Missouri vs. Northern Iowa 11 a.m. UM-Duluth vs. Nebraska 1 p.m. UM-Duluth vs. Minnesota 1 p.m. Minnesota vs. Missouri 3 p.m. Concordia vs. Missouri 3 p.m. Third-place game 5 p.m. Minnesota vs. Nebraska 5 p.m. Championship game 7 p.m. UM-Duluth vs. Northern Iowa

A LOOK AT THE 0 PPONENTS- Concordia-St. Paul is an NAIA member that competes in the Upper Midwest Conference. Most of the Comet players hail from the Twin Cities area. Last season, Concordia was swept in two games by Minnesota and split two games with UM-Duluth. Minnesota-Duluth was the champion of the Northern Sun Conference in 1990 and took seventh place at the 1990 NAIA tournament. The Bulldogs also took a game from Minnesota last April at the Bierman Softball Complex. They return the majority of their players from a 33-14 campaign last season, including all-American second baseman Patty e Becker. Missouri went 30-14 in 1990 and finished No. 20 in the final NCAA softball poll. The Tigers are ranked 17th in this season's preseason poll and return nine of 10 starters from last year's squad. Junior Karen Snelgrove was fourth in the nation last season with a 0.34 ERA. Nebraska went 31-19 in 1990 including an impressive 8-2 in Big Eight play. The Comhuskers lost three of their top four hitters from last season, but return both of their pitchers from the squad. The top Nebraska pitcher is senior Stephanie Skegas, who went 21-7 with a 1.32 ERA in 1990. Northern Iowa went 29-30 last season with a 3-13 record in Gateway Conference play, but won five consecutive games in its conference tournament to advance to the NCAA tournament. The Panthers split a doubleheader with Minnesota last April in Minneapolis. The top returning player for Northern Iowa is catcher Vicki White, who hit .339 in 1990.

GOPHER PREVIEW-Minnesota head coach Teresa Wilson is just happy to have everybody back and healthy for the start of the 1991 season. KARl BLANK (OAKDALE, MN{fARTAN), who had surgery on her left knee to repair a tom anterior cruciate ligament, and BRENDA BIXBY (ESTHERVILLE, IA), who had surgery on her left shoulder, which was dislocated last season, are both back for 1991. Blank led the Gophers in hitting in 1989 with a .288 average, while Bixby was the 1988 Big Ten Freshman of the Year with a pitching record of 22-13. Minnesota finished 31-32 in 1990 and with both the hitting and pitching leaders of the last two seasons returning, the Gophers would like to return to the top of the Big Ten standings and national prominence. Besides Blank, one of the top returning hitters is sophomore LEZLIE WEISS (FOREST LAKE, MN). Weiss hit a team-leading .305 in 1990 and collected a school-record 61 hits in her first season as a Gopher. Sophomore outfielder MISCHEL DOERR (EUGENE, OR/SHELDON) set a single-season record with 26 stolen bases in 1990 and already ranks fifth on the all-time career list. Minnesota returns three veteran pitchers in Bixby, junior ROBIN BUMPUS (MUNNSVilLE, NY/STOCKBRIDGE VALLEY) a and sophomore SARAH MASCHKA (MANKATO, MN/EAST). Bumpus finished 1990 with a 15-12 W record and a 0.94 ERA, while Maschka was Minnesota's hottest pitcher at the end of the season, winning nine of her last 10 decisions in finishing with a 10-4 record. --more Minnesota Women's Sports News -5-5-5-5- 2/4/91 l, SOFTBALL CONTINUED- A LONG HITTING STREAK-Minnesota junior Kari Blank may have the longest current hitting streak in the country, at least in terms of time. Blank had hits in her final two games of the 1989 season and all three games of her 1990 season. The last time that Blank did not get a hit in a game was May 12, 1989 against Michigan, almost21 months ago. Blank has hit an impressive .429 (6-for-14) in those five games, but even more impressive is the fact that she has not gone hitless in a game for 637 days.

SCHEDULE CHANGES-The athletic department at U.S. International University declared bankruptcy Dec. 22, 1990 and ceased its operations immediately. That action had a significant effect on Minnesota's 1991 schedule as they were scheduled to play the Soaring Gulls three times this season, including competition in USIU's own tournament in late February. That tournament has been taken over by San Diego State and renamed the S.D.S.U. Spring Classic. At the Arizona Softball Classic, the Gophers have picked up Ohio State, the defending Big Ten co-champion, as a new opponent. The other tournament that is effected is the Pony Tournament at Cal State-Fullerton, where San Diego State or a foreign club team will replace the Gulls.

WHAT'S NEXT - Minnesota begins a stretch next weekend that will see them play a minimum of 45 games away from home. The road tour begins with the Arizona Softball Classic Feb.14-17 in Tucson, Ariz. Five of Minnesota's six pool opponents in the tournament are ranked in the NCAA preseason top 20.

With the win, Minnesota avoided setting a new record for consecutive losses and won its first game of 1991. The Gophers streaked to a27-15 halftime lead, thanks in part to the Spartans' 23 percent (7-of-30) shooting in the first half The Gopher defensive effort, which limited MSU to just 15 first-half points, was the best of the season. Michigan State outscored Minnesota 24-10 at the start of the second half to take a 39-37lead with 11:06 remaining. Ellen Kramer hit a jump shot to give the Gophers a 47-45lead with 5:20 to play and Minnesota led the rest of the way. The 55 total points scored by MSU was the lowest by any Big Ten opponent. The Gophers outre bounded the Spartans 43-35, marking the first Big Ten opponent Minnesota has outrebounded this season.

ZELLER'S TIMING WAS KEY·· Junior guard JENNY ZELLER (FARIBAULT, MN) reached the double-figure mark in scoring for the first time in six games Sunday.

That basket put Minnesota up by four, 57- 53 and forced a Michigan State timeout.

CARVER HAS PRODUCTIVE WEEKEND·· Sophomore forward STACY CARVER (MONTROSE, MN/B UFFALO) came up with a 4-of-1 0 shooting performance in each game over the weekend and finished with nine points and six rebounds against Michigan and 12 points and eight rebounds against MSU.

MINNESOTA RECENTLY -- The streak has ended. After losing eight straight games in Big Ten play, the Gophers (5-14, 1-8 Big Ten) stunned Michigan State Sunday with a 58-55 victory. With the win, Minnesota avoided setting a new record for consecutive losses and won its first game of 1991. The Gophers streaked to a 27-15 halftime lead, thanks in part to the Spartans' 23 percent (7 -of-30) shooting in the first half The Gopher defensive effort, which limited MSU to just 15 first-half points, was the best of the season. Michigan State outscored Minnesota 24-10 at the start of the second half to take a 39-37 lead with 11 :06 remaining. Ellen Kramer hit a jump shot to give the Gophers a 47 -45lead with 5:20 to play and Minnesota led the rest of the way. The 55 total points scored by MSU was the lowest by any Big Ten opponent. The Gophers outre bounded the Spartans 43-35, marking the first Big Ten opponent Minnesota has outrebounded this season. The Spartans finished the game shooting 37.7 percent (23-of-61) while Minnesota shot 41.1 percent (23-of-56). Both teams committed 20 turnovers in the contest. Minnesota dropped a 65-51 contest to Michigan Friday.

KRAMER COMES BACK STRONG-- After scoring just four points on a 1-of-8 shooting performance against Michigan, senior forward ELLEN KRAMER (ROSEVll.LE, MN/ALEXANDER RAMSEY) rallied with a 20-point, eight-rebound performance against MSU. Kramer has now scored a career total of 1,250 points, which ranks seventh on the all-time Minnesota scoring chart. She needs 95 points to reach the sixth place slot. She also ranks in the top ten in rebounding with 666 rebounds to her credit, which ranks eighth on the all-time list. She needs just four rebounds to reach the seventh position.

ZELLER'S TIMING WAS KEY-- Junior guard JENNY ZELLER (FARIBAULT, MN) reached the double-figure mark in scoring for the first time in six games Sunday. Zeller scored 10 points in the contest, but none was so critical as the 15-foot jumper she hit with 48 seconds remaining after the Gophers worked the ball to her with just three seconds showing on the shot clock. That basket put Minnesota up by four, 57- 53 and forced a Michigan State timeout.

CARVER HAS PRODUCTIVE WEEKEND-- Sophomore forward STACY CARVER (MONTROSE, MNIBUFFALO) came up with a 4-of-1 0 shooting performance in each game over the weekend and finished with nine points and six rebounds against Michigan and 12 points and eight rebounds against MSU.

BASKETBALL CONTINUED-- I A LOOK AT INDIANA-- The Hoosiers (13-7, 5-5 Big Ten) fell from the fourth spot in the Big Ten over the weekend into a tie with Ohio State for fifth place. Indiana traveled to Columbus, Ohio Friday and lost a nail-biter, 72-70, to the Buckeyes. The Hoosiers were riding a three-game winning streak before the Buckeyes dealt them the loss. Included in that streak was a 74-61 victory over Northwestern, a 103-86 win over Wisconsin, and a 77-66 win over Michigan. In addition to its Jan. 20 victory over Minnesota (92-63), Indiana also owns a 74-59 win over league upstart Iowa, which has defeated Northwestern and Purdue in the last week. Last year, Indiana finished the conference slate with a 6-12 Big Ten record, good for seventh place. WATCH FOR-- Indiana returns all five of its starters from a year ago and nine letterwinners overall. Senior center Pam Owens has come on strong this season and leads the Hoosiers in scoring with a 13.8 points/game average. Owens, shooting 76.5 percent from the free throw line, made her only two attempts on her way to scoring 12 points against OSU. Last year's team MVP and all-Big Ten selection Zandrea Jefferies, scoring 13.2 points/game, cranked out 16 points and 10 rebounds against Ohio State. Jefferies ranks fourth in conference rebounding with a 9.3 rebounds/game average. Sophomore forward Dawn Douglas, who assumed a starting role midway through the season, was a teammate of Minnesota center DANA JOUBERT at St. Martin DePorres High School. Douglas led IU against the Buckeyes with 18 points in 37 minutes of playing time. She ranks third in scoring for the Hoosiers with a 10.8 points/game average. Minnesota will be keeping an eye on freshman guard Kris McGrade, who canned five three-pointers in the first six minutes of the second half in the Gophers' first meeting with Indiana. McGrade finished the game with a game-high 21 points. SERIES VS. INDIANA-- Minnesota leads 13-9, but Indiana won this season's first match up 92-63. The two teams split the series last season with the Gophers winning 85-67 at Williams Arena and Indiana escaping with a 61-59 win in Bloomington. INDIANA COACH-- Jim Izard (Mississippi '71), in his third season at Indiana, has a 41-35 (.539) I school record. He is 204-84 (.708) in 10 years as a collegiate head coach.

A LOOK AT OHIO STATE-- The Buckeyes (8-12, 5-5 Big Ten) have won their last two games, including the 72-70 win over Indiana over the weekend. Ohio State has pulled out two overtime wins in Big Ten play, defeating Michigan 81-70 Jan. 25 and Wisconsin 81-7 6 Feb. 3. Last year, Ohio State advanced to the NCAA tournament for the seventh year in a row and eighth time in nine years. The Buckeyes lost to Texas in the Midwest Regional second round after finishing the Big Ten season with an 11-7 record. WATCH FOR-- Sophomore sensation Averrill Roberts leads the Buckeyes in scoring with a 15.7 points/game average. Last year's Big Ten Freshman of the Year, Roberts played on the U.S. Junior National team and participated in the U.S. Olympic Festival in Minneapolis over the summer.

GOPHERS HOST MINNESOTA OPEN -The University of Minnesota women's indoor track and field team hosts its final meet of the season Saturday at 11 a.m. The Minnesota Open will be the Gophers' final preparation for the Big Ten indoor championship next weekend at Iowa.

OPEN PREVIEW- The Minnesota Open is a low-key meet that will consist of 12 schools from greater Minnesota and Wisconsin. The Gophers will use the meet to run distances that they might not normally run, but that serve as a training ground for the Big Ten meet in two weeks. All NCAA distances will be run except for the mile, which will be replaced by a 1000-meter race.

LEWIS HITS IT BIG-For the past three meets, senior RACHEL LEWIS (SIOUX CITY, lA/NORTH) has been within five inches of qualifying for the NCAA indoor meet in the shot put. Friday night at the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational, Lewis made sure that her effort would not be just close. Her throw of 52-1 1/ 2 qualified her for both the NCAA indoor championship in Indianapolis next month and the NCAA outdoor championship in Eugene, Ore. at the end of May. Lewis' mark also broke her school record of 51-5, which she set last year at the same meet in Lincoln, Neb. Lewis now owns the top American collegiate shot put mark of 1991, according to Scott Davis of Track and Field Services in Los Angeles.

lOWA STATE REVIEW- Minnesota's distance corps improved dramatically during the cross country season and they continued to improve by leaps and bounds at the Iowa State Invitational. Junior CHRIS ROWE (SIOUX FALLS, SD/O'GORMAN) made the second attempt of her career at the indoor 3000 meters and came away with a time of 9:39.14, just 1.14 second off the NCAA provisional qualifying time of 9:38.00.

Minnesota Women's Sports News -7-7-7-7- 2/4/91 SOFTBALL

A RETURN TO ARIZONA- The University of Minnesota softball team (2-2) will make its second consecutive appearance at the Arizona Softball Classic beginning Thursday in Tucson, Ariz. The Gophers' first road trip of the 1991 season will not be an easy one, as five of the six teams on the schedule are ranked in the NCAA preseason top 20. Minnesota will be looking to improve the offense and continue the strong pitching from last weekend's Metrodome Softball Classic.

ANOTHER CLASSIC FORMAT-This year's format at the Arizona tournament has been a little skewed because of the loss of U.S. International in Minnesota's pool. U.S.I.U. 's athletic department declared bankruptcy last December. The Gophers and two other teams will join a pool of four teams to form a seven team group. After playing the six other teams in the group, Minnesota will be seeded in a single-elimination bracket to determine a champion. The Gophers' schedule is as follows: · Thursday,Feb.14 Saturday, Feb. 16 12 p.m.- Minnesota vs. Cal. State-Northridge 11 a.m.·· Minnesota vs. Cal. State-Fullerton 6 p.m.- Minnesota vs. Cal. State-Long Beach 4 or 6 p.m.-- First round elimination bracket Friday, Feb. 15 (All times Mountain Standard) 11 a.m.- Minnesota vs. Oregon 1 p.m. -Minnesota vs. Ohio State 5 p.m.- Minnesota vs. Arizona State

A LOOK AT THE OPPONENTS- To preview Minnesota's opponents in the Arizona Softball Classic, one needs to look no further than the NCAA Division I Preseason Softball Poll. Five of the six Gopher opponents are ranked in the survey and all five made appearances in the 1990 NCAA tournament. The one team that is not ranked is Cal. State-Northridge, but the Matadors swept UC-Santa Barbara last Saturday and are 3-3 this season. Northridge finished 51-21 in 1990, but returns just six of 19 letterwinners from last year's squad. The Gophers and Matadors split two meetings at the Pony Tournament in1990,withMinnesotawinningitsgame1-0onacombinedsix-hitterbyROBINBUMPUS(MUNNSVILLE, NY /STOCKBRIDGE VALLEY) and Jenny Lindstrom. Cal. State-Long Beach went 48-19last season and is ranked sixth in the preseason poll. The 49ers could make a run at the national title with 13 of 17 letterwinners returning from last year's squad. Long Beach defeated Minnesota 6-4 at last year's Arizona Softball Classic. Oregon is ranked 18th in the preseason poll and returns half of its team from last season's 35-23 record. The Ducks are always tough in the circle with junior Katie Wiese (24-12, 0.88 ERA). Minnesota and Oregon split two games last season, with the Gophers outscoring the Ducks 10-6 in the two contests. Ohio State, ranked 20th in the poll, won its first Big Ten softball championship in 1990 with a 38- 23 record. The Buckeyes are looking to return to the top behind the leadership of Gail Davenport, the 1990 Big Ten Coach of theYear. Minnesota lost three of four games at Ohio State in 1990, but won the final game 2-1 in 10 innings behind the complete-game pitching performance of SARAH MASCHKA (MANKATO, MN/EAST). Arizona State is currently ranked 12th in the poll and returns 11 of 14letterwinners from the 1990 team that finished 43-32. The Sun Devils are led by former Minnesota coach Linda Wells. Former Gopher Dottie Conroy will make her first appearance in an ASU uniform this weekend against her former team. The Gophers beat the Sun Devils 5-1 in Tucson last season, led by Bumpus' five-hitter and two hits each by TABBETHA WOODY (DEWEY, OK) and DIANE FIELD (MORTON GROVE, IL/NILES WEST). Cal. State-Fullerton is the highest ranked team in the pool at the No. 4 spot after a 45-23 season in 1990. The Titans have a very strong pitching staffled by junior Ann Van Dortrecht (29-12, 0.43 ERA). The Gophers did not play Fullerton in 1990 and have not beaten the Titans in nine previous games.

METRO DOME REVIEW-If the first four games of the season are any indication, the Gophers will be playing in many close games in 1991. Minnesota had to rally from a 2-1 deficit in the Metrodome Classic opener against UM-Duluth with single runs in the fifth and seventh innings to pull out a 3-2 victory. In the second game, the Gophers ran into an old nemesis in Nebraska pitcher Stephanie Skegas. Last year, Skegas held Minnesota to one hit in a 1-0 Nebraska victory. This year, Skegas gave up four hits, but no runs in a 3-0 Nebraska triumph. Against 17th-ranked Missouri, the Gophers had many opportunities to win the game in extra innings. Minnesota had the bases loaded and nobody out after tying the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the eighth, but could not score and lost the game 3-2 in nine innings. That sent Minnesota to the third place game, where the Gophers picked up two first-inning runs and held on to beat Northern Iowa 2-1. . .

Minnesota Women's Sports News -8-8-8-8- 2/4/91 SOFTBALL CONTINUED-- SUCCESSFUL RETURNS- Juniors BRENDA BIXBY (ESTHERVILLE, lA) and KARl BLANK e (OAKDALE, MN(fART AN) had waited a long time to play in this past weekend's tournament after sitting out the 1990 season with injuries. Both players made an impact for Minnesota with their returns. Bixby pitched in and finished all four games for Minnesota, throwing 23 1/3 of the 29 innings. She gave up only two earned runs and struck out 13 batters on the way to a 2-2 record and a 0.60 ERA for the weekend. Blank had three hits for the tournament, including two in the third-place game against Northern Iowa. Her first inning single drove in both Minnesota runs in the 2-1 victory.

ANOTHER FAST START - Senior Diane Field is used to getting off to a fast start in the hitting department. Last season, Field was Minnesota's leading hitter after the first weekend of the season, going 11-for-28 for a .393 average in Arizona. This season, Field led the Gophers with four hits and hit .308 in the four games at the Metrodome. Field also scored two runs in the four games and handled 38 chances without an error at first base. Field's career fielding percentage of .984 is now tops on the all-time Gopher fielding charts.

WHAT'S NEXT-Minnesota continues the tournament circuit with a trip to San Diego and the San Diego State Spring Classic. The Gophers will play San Diego State in a non-conference doubleheader Feb. 20 at 1:30, followed by the tournament from Feb. 21-24. SWIMMING & DIVING

PREPARATIONS FOR BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIPS START-- It's a bit of heaven for the women's swimming and diving team as they begin tapering for the Big Ten Conference championships - they have only one workout a day instead of the normal two-a-day. The conference championships are scheduled for Feb. 21-23 at Minnesota's University Aquatic Center. e According to head coach Jean Freeman, the sprinters started to taper their workouts two weeks ago, while . the rest of the team begins today. "We will train six days a week, alternating a cruise day with a sprint day," said Freeman. With two weeks to go before the championships, Freeman said "Minnesota is hoping for second place behind Michigan. It's unpredictable what Northwestern and Ohio State will do at the meet."

GOPHERS SPLITNARSITY RECORD SET -- In the last dual meets of the regular season, the 20th ranked Gophers ( 14-3, 6-1) split with Northern Michigan and Harvard this past weekend.

A LOOK AT INDIANA-- The Hoosiers (13-7, 5-5 Big Ten) fell from the fourth spot in the Big Ten over the weekend into a tie with Ohio State for fifth place. Indiana traveled to Columbus, Ohio Friday and lost a nail-biter, 72-70, to the Buckeyes. The Hoosiers were riding a three-game winning streak before the Buckeyes dealt them the loss. Included in that streak was a 74-61 victory over Northwestern, a 103-86 win over Wisconsin, and a 77-66 win over Michigan. In addition to its Jan. 20 victory over Minnesota (92-63), Indiana also owns a 74-59 win over league upstart Iowa, which has defeated Northwestern and Purdue in the last week. Last year, Indiana finished the conference slate with a 6-12 Big Ten record, good for seventh place. WATCH FOR·· Indiana returns all five of its starters from a year ago and nine letterwinners overall. Senior center Pam Owens has come on strong this season and leads the Hoosiers in scoring with a 13.8 points/game average. Owens, shooting 76.5 percent from the free throw line, made her only two attempts on her way to scoring 12 points against OSU. Last year's team MVP and all-Big Ten selection Zandrea e Jefferies, scoring 13.2 points/game, cranked out 16 points and 10 rebounds against Ohio State. Jefferies ranks fourth in conference rebounding with a 9.3 rebounds/game average. Sophomore forward Dawn Douglas, who assumed a starting role midway through the season, was a teammate of Minnesota center DANA JOUBERT at St. Martin DePorres High School. Douglas led IU against the Buckeyes with 18 points in 37 minutes of playing time. She ranks third in scoring for the Hoosiers with a 10.8 points/game average. Minnesota will be keeping an eye on freshman guard Kris McGrade, who canned five three-pointers in the first six minutes of the second half in the Gophers' first meeting with Indiana. McGrade finished the game with a game-high 21 points. SERIES VS. INDIANA-- Minnesota leads 13-9, but Indiana won this season'sfirstmatchup92-63. The two teams split the series last season with the Gophers winning 85-67 at Williams Arena and Indiana escaping with a 61-59 win in Bloomington. INDIANA COACH·· Jim Izard (Mississippi '71), in his third season at Indiana, has a 41-35 (.539) school record. He is 204-84 (.708) in 10 years as a collegiate head coach.

A LOOK AT OHIO STATE-- The Buckeyes (8-12, 5-5 Big Ten) have won their last two games, including the 72-70 win over Indiana over the weekend. Ohio State has pulled out two overtime wins in Big Ten play, defeating Michigan 81-70 Jan. 25 and Wisconsin 81-7 6 Feb. 3. Last year, Ohio State advanced to the NCAA tournament for the seventh year in a row and eighth time in nine years. The Buckeyes lost to Texas in the Midwest Regional second round after finishing the Big Ten season with an 11-7 record. WATCH FOR·· Sophomore sensation A verrill Roberts leads the Buckeyes in scoring with a 15.7 points/game average. Last year's Big Ten Freshman of the Year, Roberts played on the U.S. Junior National team and participated in the U.S. Olympic Festival in Minneapolis over the summer. Roberts hit the winning shot against Indiana Friday. Senior forward Vickie Pullie underwent arthroscopic knee surgery Dec. 13 and has returned to the Buckeye starting lineup for the last seven games. Pullie, an all-Big Ten honorable mention e selection a year ago, poured in 17 points against IU and dished out 10 assists. Senior center Stacie Bruce poured in a game-high 19 points on 9-of-14 shooting against the Hoosiers. Bruce also snared six rebounds and contributed two blocks and two assists. Sophomore forward Nikki Keyton has also played well for OSU and scored 14 points against Indiana. --more Minnesota Women's Sports News -3-3-3-3- 2/11/91

SERIES VS. OHIO STATE·· Ohio State leads 20-3 and has won the last 16 straight over Minnesota. The last Gopher win over the Buckeyes was nearly eight years ago in a 68-56 win Feb. 6, 1983 at Williams Arena. OHIO STATE COACH·· Nancy Darsch (Springfield '73), in her sixth season at Ohio State, carries a 124-47 (.725) school and career record.

MINNESOTA RECENTLY •• The Gophers could not bring home a road victory over the weekend as Illinois posted a 71-63 win over Minnesota and fourth-ranked Purdue handed the Gophers an 85-57 loss. The two losses puts the current Minnesota Big Ten road losing streak at 26 games. Minnesota had its chances over the weekend, especially against Illinois. With 19 seconds remaining in the game, freshman guard NIKKI COATES (LEAVENWOR rn, KS) canned a three-pointer to draw the Gophers within four at 67- 63. However, Minnesota was forced to foul and Illinois made all four of its attempts in the waning seconds to make the final 71-63.

SHOOTING IMPROVES •• Minnesota had its best shooting performance of the Big Ten season against Illinois, hitting 57 percent of its first half shots, cooling off to 39 percent in the second, but finishing at 47.5 percent (28-59). The Gopher defense held the fourth-ranked Purdue Boilermakers to 40 percent from the floor, while Minnesota shot 40 percent itself.

REBOUNDING FACTOR·· The Big Ten season has brought tough competition on the boards. Minnesota has been outrebounded in every conference contest but one this season. Illinois snared 41 rebounds to Minnesota's 29 while Purdue outrebounded the Gophers 55-33.

AT THE LINE·· Minnesota was whistled for 20 fouls against Illinois, allowing the lllini to score on 21- of-27 shots from the free throw line. Meanwhile, the Gophers were 5-of-7 from the stripe as 10 fouls were called on lllinois. Both teams were called for 21 fouls in the Purdue game, but Minnesota shot just 13-of- 23 (.565) from the line, while Purdue managed to score on 16-of-25 free throws (.640).

KRAMER MOVES UP ON THE CHARTS ··Senior forward ELLEN KRAMER (ROSEVILLE, MN/ ALEXANDER RAMSEY) is closing in on the sixth-place spot on the all-time career scoring chart. Kramer tallied 29 points over the weekend and has now scored a career total of 1,279 points. She needs 66 points to reach the sixth-place slot. She also ranks in the top ten in rebounding with 67 6 rebounds to her credit, which ranks seventh on the all-time list. She needs just one rebound to reach the sixth position.

JOUBERT PICKS UP THE SLACK·· Junior center DANA JOUBERT (DETROIT, MI/ST. MARTIN DePORRES) led Minnesota in scoring and rebounding against Purdue. She scored 13 points on 6-of-1 0 shooting from the field, but made good on just one attempt in six tries at the free throw line. Joubert tallied 12 points and a team-high seven rebounds against Illinois. She has now recorded double figures in scoring or rebounding in five of the last six games.

COATES HAS CAREER-HIGH WEEKEND·· Freshman guard NIKKI COATES (LEAVENWORTH, KS) scored a career-high nine points against Illinois in just 12 minutes of playing time. She also tallied eight points against Purdue before fouling out with 37 seconds to play. It was the first weekend since Dec. 30 that Coates has scored more than two points.

TWO TO JOIN GOPHER VOLLEYBALL SQUAD IN 1991

(Minneapolis, Minn.)-- University of Minnesota volleyball coach Stephanie Schleuder has announced the signing of White Bear Lake prep star Jean Schintz to a national letter of intent. Karl Skundberg of Kenyon will also play for the Gophers in the fall.

Schintz was a three-year all-conference and a first-team all-metro selection at White Bear Lake High

School. A 6-0 outside hitter, Schleuder believes Schintz could see a lot of playing time for the Gophers.

"Jean has the ability to come in and see a lot of action immediately, either at middle or outside hitter," says Schleuder. "Her strength is her hitting ability."

Schintz is a member of the Golden Spike Junior Club, coached by former Gopher setter Sharon

Oesterling. The team finished third in the nation last year.

Skundberg, a 6-0 middle hitter, will walk on to the Gopher squad. She was named most valuable player of the Kenyon-Wanamingo High School volleyball team the last two seasons. Skundberg holds school records in tips and kills and was an all-area selection two years straight. "Karl is an outstanding athlete," says Schleuder. "She is a strong player, who hits the ball hard. She has the potential as a freshman to see action in the front row."

GARR RESIGNS AS PROMOTIONS AND MARKETING DIRECTOR

(Minneapolis, Minn.)-University of Minnesota Women's Athletic Director Chris Voelz announced today that Joan C. Garr has resigned effective March 1 as director of promotions and marketing. Garr, 29, joined the department in July of 1989 and said her resignation was for personal reasons.

"Joan has pursued the promotions area in an exemplary manner," said Voelz of the resignation. "The attendance records set during her employment came of no surprise. We are sorry to see her leave for

Nashville (Tenn.), but are grateful for her contributions during her tenure at Minnesota."

Garr assisted the university in setting an NCAA attendance record of7,591 in April of 1990 for the

NCAA regional women's gymnastics championship and she engineered an IBM family night promotion which drew a record crowd of 6,046 for the 1990 women's volleyball match against Purdue.

Garr said she plans to return to her hometown of Nashville, Tenn. after spending a month in the Twin

Cities area. "After five years of working at major Division I schools, I've decided to take time off from college athletics and promotions and marketing," said Garr.

Garr received her bachelor's degree from Tennessee Technological University in 1985 and her master's degree from St. Thomas University (Fla.) in 1986. Prior to joining the staff at Minnesota, she served as a marketing and promotions assistant at the University of Miami in 1986 and as the marketing and promotions coordinator for women's athletics at the University of Florida from 1987-89.

A date has not been set to begin searching for Garr's replacement, according to Voelz. "We will absorb the promotions and marketing duties internally while I reevaluate the unit structure."

BASKETBALL CONTINUED -- e A LOOK AT IOWA- The Hawkeyes (15-7, 9-4 Big Ten), ranked 21st in the latest Associated Press Women's Top 25, won two games over the weekend to increase their winning streak to six games. Iowa is now second to Purdue in the Big Ten race after winning eight of its last nine to surpass Northwestern and Michigan State in the standings. The Hawks' only loss in the last month was to Michigan State 64-54. Iowa defeated Ohio State 70-47 and Indiana 86-55 over the weekend. WATCH FOR- One might think that half of the Iowa starting lineup is injured when looking at the Hawkeye list of probable starters. However, that is not the case. Iowa head coach C. Vivian Stringer has been experimenting with different starting lineups to give her regular starters a chance to see what is going on in the game from the sidelines before they enter the competition. The two constants to the Iowa starting lineup are in the backcourt. Senior point guard Steph Schueler directs the Iowa offense and is second in scoring for the Hawks' with an 11.2 points/game average. Schueler also leads the Hawkeyes in assists with a 4.2 assists/game average. Junior guard LaTonya Tate complements Schueler in the backcourt and is averaging 6.5 points and 3.5 assists/game. Tate and Schueler both tallied 13 points apiece in the Hawkeye win over Ohio State. Sophomore forward Toni Foster is one of the Hawkeyes viewing the game from the sideline at tip-off time. Once Foster enters the game, she tends to take over the inside as evidenced by her 40-point performance over the weekend. Foster tallied 23 points against Indiana, shooting 7-of-8 from the field and 9-of-10 at the line. Against Ohio State, she scored 17 points on 8-of-12 shooting. Foster, who averages 16.1 points and 8.1 rebounds/game, also snared 14 rebounds in the two games, while recording six steals and two blocks. Helping out in the front court is freshman Necole Tonsil, who averages 8.2 points and 3.7 rebounds/game. Missing in the middle for Iowa is senior Felicia Hall, whose career has ended due to a tom anterior cruciate ligament. She ended her career ranked 24th on Iowa's all-time scoring chart with 330careerpoints. Iowa's other double-figure scorer,junior forward Trisha Waugh, has returned to action after recovering from a muscle tear in her back. She scored A 14 points and recorded eight rebounds in the two weekend games. WJ SERIES VS. IOWA- Iowa leads 17-11 and has won the last 14 straight over Minnesota. The last Gopher win over the Hawkeyes was Jan. 20, 1984 by a 57-55 score at Williams Arena. lOWA COACH-C. Vivian Stringer (Slippery Rock '70), coaching in her eighth season at Iowa, has a record of 179-50 (.782). In her 19th season as a collegiate head coach, she has a 430-101 (.810) overall record. MINNESOTA RECENTLY -- Minnesota has now lost four straight games after falling 83-67 to Indiana and 64-52 to Ohio State over the weekend. The Gophers are winless in 12 of their last 13 contests with their lone Big Ten victory over Michigan State 58-55, Feb. 3.

COATES, KLOTZBEECHER HAVE CAREER GAMES-- Sunday's game against Ohio State brought out the best in a pair of Gopher freshmen. MARY KLOTZBEECHER (HARRISBURG, PA/BISHOP McDEVITT) replaced HOLLY THOMPSON (EAST CLEVELAND, OH/SHAW) at the point after Thompson was whistled for her second foul. Klotzbeecher proceeded to record a career-high eight points in a span of two minutes while the Gophers took a four-point lead 20-16. Klotzbeecher played a career-high 27 minutes and ended the game with six steals, also a career high. Meanwhile NIKKI COATES (LEAVENWORTH, KS) also saw additional playing time and took the opportunity to score a :·eer-high 12 points, all in the second half, canning 2-of-3 three-point shots in the process. Coates also hac ·ee steals in her 19 minutes of playing time.

KRAMER MOVES UP ON THE CHARTS --Senior forward ELLEN KRAMER (ROSEVILLE, MN/ ALEXANDER RAMSEY) was held to just eight points against Indiana, but came back to score 16 against Ohio State. She is closing in on the sixth-place spot on the all-time career scoring chart and has now scored A a career total of 1,303 points. She needs 42 points to reach the sixth-place slot. Kramer reached the sixth • spot on the career rebounding chart over the weekend and now has a total of 688 rebounds to her credit. She needs 15 rebounds to reach the fifth position.

Jouben has now recorded double figures in scoring or rebounding in seven of the last eight games.

SHUDLICK, CARVER CATCHES FffiE -- Freshman forward CAROL ANN SHUDLICK (APPLE VALLEY, MN) came off the bench against Indiana and tallied 16 points for her first double figure performance in five games. SophomoreforwardSTACY CARVER (MONTROSE, MN/BUFFALO)canned herfrrst two three-point attempts Friday, but made just one shot in the remainder of the game.

INDOOR TRACK & FIELD

BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP AT IOWA- The University of Minnesota women's track and field team will travel to the 1991 Big Ten indoor championship this Friday and Saturday at Iowa. The lOth-annual championship is the first-ever hosted by the Hawkeyes. Minnesota looks to improve on its seventh-place finish in 1990 and RACHEL LEWIS (SIOUX CITY, lA/NORTH) will defend her shot put title.

1990 IN REVIEW-Minnesota finished last year's Big Ten meet in seventh place with a total of 30 points. Ten of those points were scored by Rachel Lewis, who won her first indoor shot put title with a throw of 50-6. That throw tied her with Indiana's Katrin Koch, but Lewis won based on a better second-best throw. Minnesota's other top returning finisher is sophomore MONIKA BALINT (BUDAPEST, HUNGARY) in the 800m (3rd-2:11.81). Minnesota returns 16 of its 28 individual points from last year's meet.

LASTYEAR-- 1990 Big Ten Indoor Track & Field Championships (Madison, WI) 1. Wisconsin 123.5 6. Ohio State 35 2. Illinois 86 7. Minnesota 30 Indiana 86 8. Iowa 25.5 4. Michigan State 46 9. Purdue 24 5. Michigan 40 (Northwestern does not compete in track & field)

THE COMPETITORS- Distance runner CHRIS ROWE (SIOUX FALLS, SD/O'GORMAN) is tops in the Big Ten at 3000 meters and will run that distance this weekend. SHELLY WALL (WILSON, WI/ SPRING VALLEY) is among Minnesota's leaders at 400,600 and 800 meters and will run at 600 meters and in Minnesota's 4x400 meter relay. TRACEE WOLF (COLD SPRING, MN/ROCORI) had a season best in the high jump last weekend and will compete in that event this weekend. Wolf will also take her first shot at a pentathlon and could score some early points for Minnesota Friday.

LEWIS DOES IT AGAIN- Senior shot putter Rachel Lewis is beginning to make record-breaking a weekly occurrence. At the Husker Invitational, Lewis extended her school record in the shot from 51-5 to 52-1 1/2. At the Minnesota Open this past weekend, Lewis extended that mark again, heaving the shot 52- 10, resetting the school record and breaking a five-year old Minnesota Fieldhouse record. Lewis is now Minnesota's best-ever shot putter indoors by nearly three feet and is very close to becoming the Big Ten's best. The top indoor shot put mark by a Big Ten undergraduate is 53-0 1/4 set by Sonya Payne of Michigan at the 1988 NCAA indoor meet. Lewis also has a chance to break the Big Ten championship meet record of 52-0 1/2 set by Vivian Fischer of Michigan State in 1984.

OTHER OPEN HIGHLIGHTS- Senior high jumper Tracee Wolf had a season-best in the high jump with a leap of 5-6 1/2 and also competed in the 55-meter hurdles for the first time in her career, clearing the way for her first pentathlon competition this week in Iowa City. Sophomore triple jumper VAL OWEN (McCOOK, NE) leapt to No.2 on the all-time list with her jump of36-10 1/2. She also holds Minnesota's top long jump of the season at 18-2 l/4. GYMNASTICS

BASKETBALL CONTINUED -- A LOOK AT IOWA- The Hawkeyes (15-7, 9-4 Big Ten), ranked 21st in the latest Associated Press Women's Top 25, won two games over the weekend to increase their winning streak to six games. Iowa is now second to Purdue in the Big Ten race after winning eight of its last nine to surpass Northwestern and Michigan State in the standings. The Hawks' only loss in the last month was to Michigan State 64-54. Iowa defeated Ohio State 70-47 and Indiana 86-55 over the weekend. WATCH FOR- One might think that half of the Iowa starting lineup is injured when looking at the Hawkeye list of probable starters. However, that is not the case. Iowa head coach C. Vivian Stringer has been experimenting with different starting lineups to give her regular starters a chance to see what is going on in the game from the sidelines before they enter the competition. The two constants to the Iowa starting lineup are in the backcourt. Senior point guard Steph Schueler directs the Iowa offense and is second in scoring for the Hawks' with an 11.2 points/game average. Schueler also leads the Hawkeyes in assists with a 4.2 assists/game average. Junior guard LaTonya Tate complements Schueler in the backcourt and is averaging 6.5 points and 3.5 assists/game. Tate and Schueler both tallied 13 points apiece in the Hawkeye win over Ohio State. Sophomore forward Toni Foster is one of the Haw keyes viewing the game from the sideline at tip-off time. Once Foster enters the game, she tends to take over the inside as evidenced by her 40-point performance over the weekend. Foster tallied 23 points against Indiana, shooting 7 -of-8 from the field and 9-of-10 at the line. Against Ohio State, she scored 17 points on 8-of-12 shooting. Foster, who averages 16.1 points and 8.1 rebounds/game, also snared 14 rebounds in the two games, while recording six steals and two blocks. Helping out in the front court is freshman Necole Tonsil, who averages 8.2 points and 3.7 rebounds/game. Missing in the middle for Iowa is senior Felicia Hall, whose career has ended due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament. She ended her career ranked 24th on Iowa's all-time scoring chart with 330careerpoints. Iowa's other double-figure scorer,junior forward Trisha Waugh, has returned to action after recovering from a muscle tear in her back. She scored 14 points and recorded eight rebounds in the two weekend games. SERIES VS. IOWA- Iowa leads 17-11 and has won the last 14 straight over Minnesota. The last Gopher win over the Hawkeyes was Jan. 20, 1984 by a 57-55 score at Williams Arena. lOWA COACH-C. Vivian Stringer (Slippery Rock '70), coaching in her eighth season at Iowa, has a record of 179-50 (.782). In her 19th season as a collegiate head coach, she has a 430-101 (.810) overall record. MINNESOTA RECENTLY -- Minnesota has now lost four straight games after falling 83-67 to Indiana and 64-52 to Ohio State over the weekend. The Gophers are winless in 12 of their last 13 contests with their lone Big Ten victory over Michigan State 58-55, Feb. 3.

COATES, KLOTZBEECHER HAVE CAREER GAMES-- Sunday's game against Ohio State brought out the best in a pair of Gopher freshmen. MARY KLOTZBEECHER (HARRISBURG, PA/BISHOP McDEVITI) replaced HOLLY THOMPSON (EAST CLEVELAND, OH/SHAW) at the point after Thompson was whistled for her second foul. Klotzbeecher proceeded to record a career-high eight points in a span of two minutes while the Gophers took a four-point lead 20-16. Klotzbecher played a career-high 27 minutes and ended the game with six steals, also a career high. Meanwhile NIKKI COATES (LEAVENWORTH, KS) also saw additional playing time and took the opportunity to score a career-high 12 points, all in the second half, canning 2-of-3 three-point shots in the process. Coates also had three steals in her 19 minutes of playing time.

KRAMER MOVES UP ON THE CHARTS-- Senior forward ELLEN KRAMER (ROSEVILLE, MN/ ALEXANDER RAMSEY) was held to just eight points against Indiana, but came back to score 16 against Ohio State. She is closing in on the sixth-place spot on the all-time career scoring chart and has now scored a career total of 1,303 points. She needs 42 points to reach the sixth-place slot. Kramer reached the sixth spot on the career rebounding chart over the weekend and now has a total of 688 rebounds to her credit. She needs 15 rebounds to reach the fifth position.

--more •, Minnesota Women's Sports News -8-8-8-8- 2/18/91 BASKETBALL CONTINUED-- JOUBERT PICKS UP THE SLACK-- Junior center DANA JOUBERT (DETROIT, Ml/ST. MARTIN DePORRES) led Minnesota in scoring and rebounding against Indiana with 20 points and 13 rebounds. She managed 10 points and nine rebounds against Ohio State. Joubert has now recorded double figures in scoring or rebounding in seven of the last eight games.

SHUDLICK, CARVER CATCHES FIRE -- Freshman forward CAROL ANN SHUDLICK (APPLE VALLEY, MN) came off the bench against Indiana and tallied 16 points for her first double figure performanceinfivegames. SophomoreforwardSTACYCARVER(MONTROSE,MN/BUFFALO)canned her first two three-point attempts Friday, but made just one shot in the remainder of the game. Carver finished with 12 points on a 3-of-9 shooting performance, 4-of-4 at the line.

THE COACH-- Minnesota frrst-year head coach Linda Hill-MacDonald is 171-148 (.536) in her 11th season as a collegiate head coach. SOFTBALL CALIFORNIA DREAMING, PART I-The University ofMinnesota softball team (3-8) will try to break a three-game losing streak in its first of two road trips to California in 1991. The Gophers will play at San Diego State in a non-conference doubleheader Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. PST and then play in the S.D.S.U. Spring Classic beginning Thursday. The seven-team tournament was originally supposed to be hosted by U.S. International, but was taken over by San Diego State when the USIU athletic department declared bankruptcy last December.

TOURNAMENT FORMAT-Minnesota should be familiar with softball "classics" by now because this is the third in a row for the Gophers. The seven teams in San Diego will play a round-robin, followed by a championship bracket beginning Saturday night. Minnesota's schedule is as follows:

Thursday, Feb. 21 Friday, Feb. 22 4 p.m. - vs. California 9 a.m. -- vs. Northwestern 8 p.m. -vs. CS-Long Beach 11 a.m. -- vs. CS-Northridge 5 p.m. -- vs. San Diego State Saturday, Feb. 23 Sunday,Feb.24 2 p.m. - vs. Utah State 9 a.m. -- Semifinal 5 or 7 p.m. - Quarterfinal 11 a.m. -- Final

THE LINEUP- Minnesota's starting lineup solidified somewhat during the Arizona Softball Classic, primarily because of the success of the hitters. Minnesota's tentative starters for San Diego look like this:

SOFTBALL CONTINUED-- OPPONENTS AT A GLANCE- Three of Minnesota's six opponents this weekend were also at the Arizona Softball Classic last weekend. California (3-4) did not play Minnesota in Arizona this year, but beat the Gophers 2-0 in the 1990 Arizona tournament. The eighth-ranked Bears were eliminated by Cal. State-Long Beach in the first round of bracket play. Sixth-ranked Cal. State-Long Beach (5-5) defeated Minnesota 3-2 in its final at-bat in Arizona, but was eliminated in the quarterfinals by Arizona State. Cal. State-Northridge (6-8) went 3-5 in Arizona, including a 5-3 victory over Minnesota. The Gophers rallied with two runs in the seventh against the Lady Matadors but were stopped with the tying run at second base. Northridge was eliminated by Ohio State in the quarterfinals. Northwestern (0-0) will open its 1991 season in San Diego after finishing 1990 with a 16-35 record, 5-19 in Big Ten play. The Wildcats and Gophers each won twice in Evanston last season, with Minnesota taking the final two games of the series. Utah State (3- 3) is playing in the Big West Conference for the first time this season after compiling a record of 18-19last season as a member of the High Country Athletic Conference. The Aggies and Gophers have split four previous meetings.

ARIZONA RECAP- On the surface, Minnesota's 1-6 record at the Arizona Softball Classic could be termed unsuccessful. However, the Gophers proved that they could play with any team in the country. Consider: -Against sixth-ranked Cal. State-Long Beach, Minnesota rallied from two deficits to tie the game at 2-2 in the seventh inning. The 49ers scored with the bases loaded and two out in the bottom of the seventh to win 3-2. -Against 12th-ranked Arizona State, Minnesota scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to tie the game at 4-4. In the bottom of the seventh inning, DIANE FIELD's (MORTON GROVE, IL/NILES WEST) sinking line drive was caught by Arizona State's left fielder to deprive Minnesota of a victory. The Sun Devils won the game 5-4 in the eighth inning tiebreaker. -Against fourth-ranked Cal. State-Fullerton, Minnesota scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth to tie the game at 3-3. After the Titans regained the lead 4-3, Minnesota loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the seventh. The Gophers failed to score and lost the game leaving 11 runners on base. ---The one win that Minnesota got in Tucson was against 20th-ranked Ohio State, the defending Big Ten co-champion. The Gophers shut out the Buckeyes 6-0, with sophomore SARAH MASCHKA (MANKA TO, MN/EAST) throwing a three-hitter and KARl BLANK (OAKDALE, MN{fART AN) hitting a three-run double.

OFFENSE AWAKENS - Minnesota owned a .189 team batting average entering the Arizona Softball Classic and improved it greatly during the three days in Tucson. The Gophers hit .279 during the Classic and upped their team batting average 59 points to .248. Senior ANNE WEISBECKER (LACROSSE, WI/ AQUINAS) led the team with eight hits and six Gophers had seven hits apiece. Minnesota outhit the opposition 57-48 during the seven games, but was outscored 31-22 during the three days. That can be attributed to 55 Gophers left on base during the Classic, an average of almost eight runners a game.

COACH TERESA WILSON- Minnesota head coach Teresa Wilson (Missouri '84) is in her second season and owns a Gopher record of 34-40 (. 459). In her six-year coaching career, Wilson is 160-144 ( .526). GOLF

WINTER TRAINING TRIP- The snow-covered fairways and putting greens of Minnesota will give way to green grass and warmth when the golf team travels to El Paso, Texas Wednesday for their winter training trip. The Gophers will have an 18-hole dual meet Friday against Texas-El Paso. "All we are trying to do is play," said head golf coach Nancy Harris. "This will be a chance for the team to practice their skills before the spring schedule starts (March 1-3 at Au bum)." Team members making the trip are senior KELLI ROSS (BURNSVILLE, MN), sophomore SARA EVENS (GRAFTON, ND), sophomoreKRISLEIGHTON(AUSTIN,MN),juniorKRISTAREUTERFELDT(COONRAPIDS,MN), freshmanJANAERDMANN(LEWISTON,MN/LEWISTON/ALTURA)andseniorTRACIJOHNSON (MARSHALL, MN). -- more Minnesota Women's Sports News -10-10-10-10- 2/18/91

The duo's next doubles win will be their 60th and will make them Minnesota's all-time winningest doubles team.

OPPONENT NOTES - Northwestern (4-3 overall, 0-1 Big Ten) lost 5-4 to Tennessee on Sunday after losing 7-2 to Wisconsin on Saturday. The Wildcats should be a tough opponent for Minnesota, which has had two opponents in common with Northwestern.

Senior Patricia Minnis and sophomore Sarah Stewart have combined for an 8-3 record at No. 1 doubles. SERIES- This is the second meeting between the schools. LSU won 7-2 in 1979. Notre Dame dropped three matches over the weekend, 8-1 to 17th-ranked South Carolina on Friday, 7- 1 to William & Mary on Saturday and 6-1 to 16th-ranked Indiana on Sunday. The Fighting Irish are led by junior Tracy Barton, who is ranked 28th in the country. She has a 17-9 overall record at No. 1 singles.

She averages 16.3 points/game and has two games remaining in her career. She will probably go no further than fifth though, as the fourth place spot is 98 points away and is held by Carol Peterka (1982-86). Kramer reached the fifth spot on the career rebounding chart over the weekend, surpassing Marty Dahlen ( 1978-82), and now has a total of 714 rebounds to her credit. Kramer would need 30 rebounds in her final two games to reach the fourth position. She averages 7.6 rebounds/game.

KRAMER TO BE HONORED ON SENIOR NIGHT-- Ellen Kramer, the lone senior and captain of the 1990-91 Gopher basketball team, will be honored before the start of Saturday's game against Northwestern, which tips off at Williams Arena at 7:30p.m. As mentioned above, Kramer will likely end up fifth on both the all-time scoring and all-time rebounding charts. She should also finish in a tie for fifth on the career list for games played, seventh in field goals made, sixth in field goals attempted, second or third in free throws made, and second in free throws attempted.

JOUBERT DOMINATES THE BOARDS -- Junior center DANA JOUBERT (DETROIT, MI/ST. MARTINDePORRES) upped her rebounding average to 9.5 rebounds/game over the weekend with a game high 12 rebounds against Michigan State and another game-high 11 boards against Michigan. Joubert also scored 24 points in the two contests.

THE COACH -- Minnesota first-year head coach Linda Hill-MacDonald is 171-151 (.531) in her 11th season as a collegiate head coach.

Minnesota will be seeking to improve its regional qualifying score (RQS) by scoring higher than the 182.45 that is currently the lowest among scores figuring into the Gophers' RQS. Minnesota's current RQS is 185.20 and could jump by as much as half a point after this weekend. The seventh ranked Gators will also be playing host to No. 10 Penn State and William & Mary.

OPPONENT NOTES -Florida (5-3 overall) is coming off a 192.50-192.40 loss to second-ranked Alabama on Saturday.

GOPHERS, MISSOURI BATTLE TO RARE GYMNASTICS TIE-In the gymnastics world, where meets are won and lost by tenths and hundredths of points, ties are uncommon. But when the results were tallied after the Sunday dual between Missouri and Minnesota at Williams Arena, the teams were dead even at 186.85. It was just the third tie in Minnesota women's gymnastics history. The Gophers and Nebraska had identical123.10 scores in a 1978 dual at Williams Arena and Minnesota and Ohio State each scored 185.40 in a 1987 dual at Williams Arena. After three rotations Sunday, the odds were not in the Gophers favor. Missouri had a 1.40 point lead at 140.35-138.95, with the Tigers set to finish up on the balance beam while the Gophers competed on the floor exercise. When it was over, Missouri had to count two falls among its five beam scores and wound up with a team beam mark of 46.50. The Gophers, meanwhile, scored a team-season best 47.90 on the floor exercise to make up the 1.40 deficit. It was the fourth straight meet that Minnesota has topped 186.00.

JUHASZ-NAGY, WOLF, ALLSTADT HIT CAREER-HIGHS IN THE ALL-AROUND- Sopho more MONIKA JUHASZ-NAGY (BUDAPEST, HUNGARYNOROSMARTY) scored a career-best 37.95 and finished second all-around to Missouri's Julie Dorn, who scored 38.25.

The Gophers opened play Friday with a 2-1, eight-inning victory over Penn State. KELLY NORMAN (CRYSTAL, MN/ARMSTRONG), drove in the winning run and ROBIN BUMPUS (MUNNSVILLE, NY/STOCKBRIDGE VALLEY) pitched four innings of scoreless relief for the win. Minnesota defeated Northeast Louisiana 7-0 Friday afternoon, with sophomore SARAH MASCHKA (MANKA TO, MN/EAST) pitching a perfect game. Friday night, the Gophers lost a tough 1-0 decision to fourth-ranked Cal. State-Fullerton. The loss marked Minnesota's seventh one-run loss to a ranked opponent. Saturday, the Gophers won a rain-shortened 3-2 victory over Sam Houston State, with KARl BLANK (OAKDALE, MN) hitting a game-winning triple in the fifth and fmal inning. Sunday, the action moved to Brenham, Tex. since the fields in College Station had taken too much water. Minnesota lost to Central Michigan 1-0 in eight innings to finish the tournament in fifth place. The Gophers left the bases loaded twice in the game.

PERFECTION- Sophomore Sarah Maschka retired all21 Lady Indians she faced Friday afternoon as Minnesota rolled past Northeast Louisiana 7-0. The southpaw struck out five and only allowed one ball out of the infield in recording Minnesota's first no-hitter since 1986. Minnesota has had five no-hitters since 1983, but Maschka's gem is the first perfect game since 1983:

TOURNAMENT NOTES- Minnesota played four one-run games in Texas, bringing its total of one-run games in 1991 to 16, compared to 19 for all of 1990. The Gophers are 6-10 in one-run games. Two of those games went into extra innings, giving Minnesota seven overtime games for the season, the same number of games that they played in 1990. Minnesota is 3-4 in extra-inning games. Minnesota is 2-8 against the NCAA Top 20, including last Friday night's loss to fourth-ranked CaL-State Fullerton. Seven of those eight losses were one-run games. Part of Minnesota's success in Texas can be directly attributed to its fine defensive play. After committing 55 errors in its first 21 games, the Gopher defense committed just one error in its five- game stay in Texas. Minnesota played errorless ball in four games, giving the Gophers five errorless games this season. Minnesota is 4-1 when they do not commit an error.

INDIVIDUAL LEADERS-Junior designated player SANDY SCOTT (EUGENE, OR/CHURCHILL) was Minnesota's leading hitter in Texas, hitting .429 with three runs scored. Junior infielder Kari Blank hit .357 during the five games and drove in a team-leading three runs. Blank and Scott are now Minnesota's two leading hitters, hitting .295 and .278, respectively. Sarah Maschka was 2-1 in Texas, bringing her record to 5-5 for the season. Opponents hit a slim .143 against Minnesota pitching in Texas.

WHAT'S NEXT-Minnesota will take winter term finals and then head to Fullerton, Calif. for its annual spring break trip. The Gophers will play Rutgers and Cal. State-Northridge in non-conference doubleheaders e before opening play in the 11th-annual Pony Tournament March 20 against Rutgers.
