The Gophers are coming off a two-game road sweep over Michigan Tech this past weekend where the Maroon and Gold tallied wins of 5-2, and 6-1.
Freslamen Lead tbe Way: The Gopher victories over Michigan Tech were high-lighted by strong offensive efforts by the • freshman class. On Friday night, WCHA Freshman of the Year candidate Darby Hendrickson (Richfield, Minn.) opened the scoring with his 12th goal of the year, while fellow freshman Justin McHugh (Minnetonka, Minn.) tallied his second and third career goals to pace the Gophers to the 5-2 win. In the Saturday game, Hendrickson took off where he left off Friday night, by scoring his 13th and 14th goals of the year to put him one goal behind pre-season All-American Trent Klatt (Osseo, Minn.) in the Gophers scoring charts. Hendrickson is the leading freshman scorer in the WCHA with 14 goals and 10 assists and has now scored 10 goals in his last 10 games, and 14 in his last 15 games. For the weekend the Minnesota freshmen corp tallied five goals and four a~sists between Hendrickson (3-1=4), McHugh (2-1=3) and Steve Magnusson (0-2=2, Anoka, Minn.).
Johnson-Hendrickson-Kiatt Line on Fire: The line combination of Craig Johnson (St. Paul, Minn.), Darby Hendrickson and Trent Klatt has been on fire of late. They have tallied 11 goals in the last six games, and those three players now have 39 of the Gophers 99 goals and have !allied R7 points for the year. All three players are candidates for WCHA post season honors. They also have tallied 20 of the 35 ~inncsota power play goals.
Stolp Leads the WCHA: Pre-season All-Amcncan Jeff Stolp (Nashwauk, Minn.) continued his sterling play in the nets for the Gophers this past weekend, notching h1s 11th and 12th victories and lowering his goals against average to 2.93 which 1~-the WCHA. Stolp led the WCHA in GAA and save percentage last season, yet was snubbed in post-season awards and W&$. nata first or second le8!0 All-WCHA choice. He has now raised his career record to 42-15-6 with a 3.21 GAA and is the backbone of the GoplterS league-leading defense.
Big "0": Pre-season All·American Larry Olimb (Warroad, Minn.) continues to lead the Gophers in scoring with 8 goals and 30 assists for 38 points.

Olimb now has 133 career assists to rank him third on the all-time list behind Pat Micheletti ( 1982-86, 149), and John Mayasich (1951-55, 154). Olimb 1s one of the most exciting players in the country and his dramatic rushes up the ice create many scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates.
Team Defense: The Gophers lead the WCHA in defense, allowing just 3.14 goals per-game. The penalty-killing unit1s clicking at an. 82%. That strong defefl!l!! s~arts with Stolp but is bolstered by the play of Pre-season All-American Doug Zmolek (Rochester, Minn.) who is,a physical force in the Gophers zone. Travis Richards has been outstanding behind the blue line, while addirig offensive zip to the forwards. Second-round NHL draft pick Mike Muller (Wayzata, Minn.) improves with each game, while veterans Sean Fabian (St. Paul, Minn.) and Chris McAlpine (Roseville, Minn.) add strength and stability to the group.

Schade started five games for the Homed Frogs in 1991 before being injured.

Nall had been expected to become the Golden Gopher's offensive line coach, but early this week was offered the post of offensive coordinator with the Homed Frogs, and he decided to accept that TCU offer. "I am extremely happy for Hugh," Coach Wacker said. "This represents professional advancement and is a tremendous opportunity for him. I wish him the best." The Nail decision, coupled with recent NCAA legislation which restores the ninth assistant coach position to Division I member schools, results in Coach Wacker now having two positions to fill on his University of Minnesota staff.

'' ~ ·' GOPHER BASEBALL TEAM GETS SET TO OPEN 1992 CAMPAIGN It wasn't that long ago that the Twins were capping off their World Series victory. And it was only eight months ago that John Anderson's Golden Gopher baseball squad was making its run for the College World Series. • Spring training is just around the comer for the Twins, but even closer is the season opener for the Golden Gophers. The Golden Gophers once again will face one of the toughest non-conference schedules of any team in the country. John Anderson's charges open the 1992 slate at eighth-ranked Arizona in a three-games series on February 6-8, followed by a three-game slate at fifth-ranked Cal- State Fullerton on February 14-16. That series is followed by a road trip to Oxford, Miss., to play the University of Mississippt. Overall, the Maroon and Gold's schedule has nine of their ftrst 12 games against teams ranked in the top twenty by Collegiate Baseball ma~azine. The Gophers are currently ranked 36th in the country in that poll. The Golden Gophers reiWll their entire pitching staff from last season's squad that advanced within three games of the College World Series. In addition, the Big Ten's Freshman of the Year and freshman All-American, Mark Merila (Plymouth, Minn.). returns to anchor the team's infield defense which led the Big Ten last year. On offense, All-American candidate Merila will be counted upon heavily, but he will not be alone. All-American candidate Ryan Lefebvre (Los Angeles) is back to hold down the center field position. Lefebvre leads the Gophers in almost all career offensive categories. Fifth-year senior Brain Hartmann (Arlington, Minn.) will anchor the catcher position after another successful summer in the Cape Cod league. In all, the Gophers return 19 lettermen from last season's Big Ten runner-up squad The home opener for the Maroon and Gold is the Oscar Mayer Classic at the Metrodome on February 28th and 29th. and \1arch 1st. As always, the Gophers will entertain some high-powered talent in 19th-ranked Texas A&M, fourth-ranked Mississ1pp1 Sl4te and eighth-ranked Florida State. This tournament has become one of collegiate baseball's greateSt showcases of talent The Oscar Mayer Baseball Classic and its predecessors (Wheaties Classic, Pillsbury Classic) has produced 23 current maJor league players and 138 players who are playing in professional baseball at some level. In addition, the tourney has also -;howcased the talents of two athletes who are playing football in the NFL. This is just an example of the kind of talent the Minnesota lads will face. But the Golden Gopher baseball team is not go1ng to back down. Last year they beat highly-rated Stanford to win the championship trophy, so don't be surprised come Sunday wh~n th~ Gophers are playing for the hardware again.

GOPHER BASEBALL TEAM GE-TS SET TO OPEN 1992 CAMPAIGN It wasn't that long ago that the Twins were capping off their World Series victory. And it was only eight months ago that John Anderson's Golden Gopher baseball squad was making its run for the College World Series. Spring training is just around the comer for the Twins. but even closer is the season opener for the Golden Gophers. The Golden Gophers once again will face one of the toughest non-conference schedules of any team in the country. John Anderson's charges open the 1992 slate at eighth-ranked Arizona in a three-games series on February 6-8, followed by a three-game slate at ftfth-ran.ked Cal State Fullerton on February 14-16. That series is followed by a road trip to Oxford, Miss., to play the University of Mis;;tsstppi. Overall, the Maroon and Gold's schedule has nine of their first 12 games against teams ranked in the top 20 by Collegiate Basehal/ magazine. The Gophers are currently ranked 36th in the country in that poll. The Golden Gophers return their entire pitching staff from last season's squad that advanced to within three games of the College World Series. In addition, the Big Ten's Freshman of the Year and freshman All-American, Mark Merila (Plymouth, Minn.). returns to anchor the team's infield defense which led the Big Ten last year. On offense. All-American candidate Merila will be counted upon heavily, but he will not be alone. All-American candidate Ryan Lefebvre (Los Angeles) is back to hold down the center field position. Lefebvre leads the Gophers in almost all career offensive categories. Fifth-year senior Brian Hartmann (:\rlin~ton, Minn.) will anchor the catcher position after another successful summer in the Cape Cod league. In all, the Gophers rerum llJ lettennen from last season's Big Ten runner-up squad. The home opener for the Maroon and Gold is the Oscar Mayer Baseball Classic at the Metrodome on February 2~lf] \Luch I st.

In addition, the tourney has also -;h, ·", .. N·J the talents of two athletes who are playing football in the NFL (Cleveland Gary and Greg McMurtry).

Following that trip, the Gophers will travel to Wisconsin to play the Badgers at Dane County Colisewn. Besides the five point lead in the standings, the Gophers also have two games in hand on both Wisconsin and Northern Michigan. The "Big 0" Leads the Way: Robey Baker Award candidate Larry Olimb (Warroad, Minn.) continued his hot streak by having the best series of his career as a Gopher. The senior captain had five goals and five assists for the weekend, including four power play goals. Olimb leads the Gophers in scoring with 17 goals and 39 assists and is third in the WCHA. He has posted nine power play goals and has notched 17 points in the last four games. Olimb is climbing fast on the Minnesota all-time assists chart and it appears that he will surpass both Pat Micheletti (1982-86, 149) and John Mayasich (1951-55, 154) to become the all-time career assistS leader at Minnesota. He currently has 142 assists and 52 goals. Special Teams: Olimb's contributions are not limited to offense alone. As a key member of the Gophers penalty killing unit, he had a big part in the success of that unit over the weekend as it held C.C. to only two goals in 13 attempts, including killing off a six minute and five second power play in the second period on Saturday night The Minnesota penalty killing unit leads the WCHA with a 84.9 percent kill rate, while the power play is second in the league and is clicking at a 23.9 percent rate.

Stolp's record for the year stands at 18-4 with a league-leading GAA of 2.77 and a save percentage of .892. Stolp has been the backbone of t.he Gophers' WCHA-leading defense this year. He now leads the WCHA in wins (18), GAA, shutouts (2), shutout periods (27) and winning percentage (.818). The senior led the WCHA in GAA and save percentage last year, yet only received honorable mention status at the league awards. His career stats show him with a 48-15-6 record and a 3.12 GAA. Gopher Defense: The Minnesota defense continues to play strongly led by Stolp, but supported by a veteran defensiv.: contingent of Doug Zmolek (Rochester, Minn.), Travis Richards (Crystal, Minn.), Sean Fabian (St. Paul, Minn.), ChrisA McAlpine (Roseville, Minn.), Eric Means (Rochester, Minn.) and Mike Muller (Wayzata, Minn.). The .., Gophers have held their opponents to 2.9 goals per game in league games. On offense, the Gophers are scoring at a 5.45 goals per- game clip.

They boast the top scoring line in the country in Scott Beattie, Jim Hiller and Dallas Drake. Those three players have been on top of the WCHA scoring chart since the beginning of the season. On top of that, the Wildcats are the only team that has beaten the Gophers since November 9 when the Gophers lost a pair of non-conference games to Michigan 3-7, 6-7.

And it was only eight months ago that _John Anderson's Golden Gopher baseball squad was making its run for the College World Series. Spring training is just around the comer for the Twins, but even closer is the season opener for the Golden Gophers. The Golden Gophers once again will face one of the toughest non-conference schedules of any team in the country. John Anderson's charges open the 1992 slate at eighth-ranked Arizona in a three-games series on February 6-8, followed by a three-game slate at fifth-ranked Cal State Fullerton on February 14-16. That series is followed by a road trip to Oxford, Miss., to play the University of Mississippi. Overall, the Maroon and Gold's schedule has nine of their first 12 games against teams ranked in the top 20 by Collegiate Baseball magazine. The Gophers are currently ranked 36th in the country in that poll. The Golden Gophers return their entire pitching staff from last season's squad that advanced to within three games of the College World Series. In addition, the Big Ten's Freshman of the Year and freshman All-American, Mark Merila (Plymouth, Minn.), returns to anchor the team's infield defense which led the Big Ten last year. On offense, All-American candidate Merila will be counted upon heavily, but he will not be alone. All-American candidate Ryan Lefebvre (Los Angeles) is back to hold down the CL'nter field position. Lefebvre leads the Gophers in almost all career offensive categories. Fifth-year senior Brian Hartmann (Arlington, Minn.) will anchor the catcher position after another successful summer in the Cape Cod league. In all, the Gophers rl'tum 19 lettermen from last season's Big Ten runner-up squad. OSCAR MAYER CLASSIC BOASTS ANOTHER TOP FIELD IN HOME OPENER The home opener for the Maroon and Gold is the Oscar Mayer Baseball Classic at the Metrodome on February 28th - March 1st. As always, the Gophers will entertain some high-powered talent in 19th-ranked Texas A&M, fourth-ranked Mississ1pp1 Swte and eighth-ranked Aorida State. This tournament has become one of collegiate baseball's greatest showcases of talent The Oscar Mayer BasebaU Classic and its predecessors (Wheaties Classic, Pillsbury Classic) has produced 23 current maJor league players and 138 players who are playing in professional baseball at some leveL In addition, the tourney has also shcw.n..;cd the talents of two athletes who are playing football in the NFL (Cleveland Gary and Greg McMurtry). This is just an example of the kind of talent the Minnesota lads will face. But the Golden Gopher baseball team is not gowg to ba..:k down. Last year they beat highly-rated Stanford to win the championship trophy, so don't be surprised come Sunday when the Gophers are playing for the hardware again.

The sweep put the Gophers six po~nts ahead of Wisconsin in A the standings with two games in hand. The Gophers raised their ove~l ~rd to 22-6. ~ith ~. 18-4 slate m WCHA g8f!IeS. !fte 12- WI' game winning streak is tied for the longest in the Gophers WCHA hts«ry w1th John Mariucc1 s 1953-54 WIHL champ1onsh1p team which posted a 12-game winning streak. The "Stopper": Senior All-American and Hobey Baker candidate Jeff Stolp (Nashwauk, Minn.) had another outstanding weekend for the Maroon and Gold as he allowed just five goals in the two games to the Wildcats, who came into the game averaging 5.73 goals pez-game. Stolp and the Gopher penalty killing unit shut down the highly-touted NMU power play. The Wildcats came into the series with a league-leading 32.2 percent success rate on the man-advantage. The Gophers held the Wildcats to one goal in 1t chances and that goal came with six seconds left in a man-advantage. Stolp has now raised his record to 20-4 and leads the WCHA in goals against with a 2.75 average, and his winning percentage (.833) leads the WCHA and is third in the country. The "Big.O": Hobey Baker and All-American candidate Larry Olimb (Warroad, Minn.) continued to climb on the all-time assists chart at Minnesota by notching career assists number 143 and 144.

Olimb continues to lead the country in assists with 41 and is fourth in the country in scoring with 58 points and is the Gophers scoring leader with 17 goals and 41 assists. The senior captain is the quarterback of the Minnesora power play and and a key player on the league-leading penalty killing unit The "B" Line: A large portion of the success of the Gophers in the past month can be attributed to the play of the third and fourth lines. This balanced attack has been a trademark of Minnesota teams, and this year is no different The fourth line, dubbed the "B" line is a tireless group of workers led by John Brill (Grand Rapids, Minn.), Scott Bell (St. Paul, Minn.) and Tony Bianchi (Bloomington, Minn.). The line notched two goals and three assists for the weekend led by Bell's two goals. In addition, all three of those players were big contributors on the penalty killing uniL The third line of Joe Dziedzic (Minneapolis), Steve Magnusson (Anoka, Minn.) and Justin McHugh (Minnetonka, Minn.) had a strong weekend as well, and Dziedzic's goal in the third period on Saturday night made the score 5-2 and killed the NMU comeback hopes. Nielsen Has Big Weekend: Sophomore Jeff Nielsen (Grand Rapids, Minn.) had an outstanding weekend, notching a game-winning goal and an assist But numbers don't tell the whole sury. Nielsen had four break-aways that were thwarted by the NMU netminders and he, along with Scott Bell, constantly harassed the NMU power play. Nielsen's speed and size was a thorn in the Wildcats back all weekend. For the year, Nielsen has 13 goals and 12 assists. Sophomore Craig Johnson (St. Paul, Minn.) e also had a strong weekend killing penalties. His 13 goals and 30 assists is good for third on the Minnesota scmng charts, while Freshman of the Year candidate Darby Hendrickson (Richfield, Minn.) is just behind him with 18 goals and 21 assists for 39 points. Hendrickson has now scored 14 goals in 18 games, and is the leading freshmen scorer in the WCHA.

The Gophers are currently ranked 36th in the Collegiale Baseball poll, and are picked as one of the top teams in the Big Ten. The Gophers return their entire pitching staff from last year's team which posted a 37-27 record and advanced to within three games of the College World Series. Offensively, the Gophezs return last year's Big Ten Freshman of the Year and a freshman All-American in Mark Merila (Plymouth, Minn.). The All-American second basemen candidate has power from both sides of the plate and will be the go-to guy at the plate for the Maroon and Gold this year. Merila will not be alone on offense, the Gophers also retwn All-American candidate Ryan Lefebvre (Los Angeles) in center field. Lefebvre is a big catalyst for the Gophers. He leads the team in almost all career offensive categories and his speed on the base paths is a dangerous weapon. Fifth-year senior Brian Hartmann (Arlington, Minn.) will anchor the catcher position for the Gophers, but may miss the Arizona series because of a shoulder problem he aggravated at the U.S. Olympic Trials last November. Hartmann is looking to go out in style after having a great summer in the Cape Cod league. In all, the Gophers return 14 lettermen from last season's team which finished second in the Big Ten to Ohio State. The Golden Gopher defense will be anchored up the middle by Hartmann, Merila and Lefebvre. The team, which has led the Big Ten in defense the past two seasons, will have new players at the comers with the departure of Greg Johnson (3B) and Jeff Monson (I B). Freshman Tony Bender (Rock Island, Ill.) will get a shot at third base, while veterans Tom Doyle (Rapid City, S.D.) and George Behr (St. Paul, Minn.) will battle for playing time at first base. In the outfield, Lefebvre will have veterans on both sides with Keith Krenke (Owatonna, Minn.) in right field, and fleet-footed sophomore Charlie Nelson (Perham, Minn.) in left field to start the year. Junior Darren Scbwankl (Burnsville, Minn.) will fill in at any of the outfield positions, and in the infield giving Minnesota skipper John Anderson some flexibility in the late innings. On the hill the Gophers will be led by seniors Jobn Lowery (Shepberdston, W. Virginia) and Scott Bakkum (LaCrosse, Wise.). Lowery was the team leader in appearances last year, and is a smooth left-handed pitcher. Bakkum is a righty, who has great control. He was the Gophers top starter last year and posted impressive wins over Miami, Michigan, Stanford and Ohio State. The Gophers will have a variety of pitchers in the bullpen, including senior J.T. Gilbert (LaCrosse, Wise.) and team captain Brent Davis (Minnetonka, Minn.), who will contribute as a starter and as a reliever. Following the Arizona series the Gophers travel to fifth-ranked Cal. State-Fullerton for a three-game series February 14-16. e MAJOR LEAGUE ALL-STARS PAUL MOLITOR AND TERRY STEINBACH HIGHLIGHT GOPHER PROFESSIONAL ALUMNI GAME AT METRODOME The University of Minnesota baseball team announced last week that the 1992 team will play an exhibition game against a Gopher Professional Alumni team consisting of fanner Minnesota players competing in professional baseball. Paul Molitor, Terry Steinbach,~ryan Hickerson and Denny Neagle highlight the alumni team. The game is slated for Tuesday, February 11, at 7:00 p.m. at the Metrodome.

The game is sponsored by Rainbow Foods, KF AN AM 1130, Oscar Mayer and Kraft. All proceeds from the event go to the Dick Siebert Scholarship Endowment Fund. Tickets are SS, but fans can receive 2-for-1 admission with any receipt from Rainbow Foods. OSCAR MAYER CLASSIC BOASTS ANOTHER TOP FIELD IN HOME OPENER The home opener for the M.oon and Gold is the Oscar Mayer Baseball Classic at the Mettodome on February 28th - March I st. As always, the Gophers will entertain some hagh-powered talent in 19th-ranked Texas A&M, fourth-ranked Mississippi State and eighth-mnked Florida Stare. This tournament has become one of collegiate baseball's greatest showcases of talent. The Oscar Mayer Baseball Classic and its predecessors (Wheaties Classic, Pillsbury Classic) has produced 23 current major league players and 138 players who are playing in professional baseball at some level. In addition, the tomney has also showcased the talents of two athletes who are playing football in the NFL (Cleveland Gary and Greg McMurtry). This is just an example of the kind of talent the Minnesota lads will face. But the Golden Gopher baseball team is not going to back down. Last year they beat highly-rated Stanford to win the championship trophy, so don't be surprised come Sunday when the Gophers are playing for the hardware again; For ticket information on either event contact the Golden Gopher Ticket office at 624- 8080. - The Oscar Mayer Classic is sponsored by Oscar Mayer foods, American Airlines, the Metrodome Hilton and Wilson sporting goods.

Thw-sday the e Golden Gophers are slated to entertain Oklahoma State in a non-conference dual-meet at 7:30p.m. in Williams Arena. Then Saturday · and Sunday Minnesota will compete in the Cliff Keen National Dual Championships at the University of Michigan. "It will be a tough week for our young team," Coach Robinson admits. "Oklahoma State finished second in the NCAA tournament a year ago, and although they have lost a couple of wresders, still look like they could challenge for the championship again this year. In the National Duals, we will be facing several of the top-ranked individual wresders in the counrry." The Golden Gophers come into this week's action with a dual-meet record of 7-7. They were idle last week, and Robinson hopes the time off will help his club mend as well as prepare for the stiff competition on tap. Among Minnesota's pace-setting individuals. Tim Harris (Fr., 134, St. Louis, MO) leads the Gophers with 22 w1ns. while Mike Marzetta (Jr., 158, Liberty Lake, WA) is right behind with 21. Thus far in the '91-92 season Harris has posted a 22-7-1 record. Manetta, who is currently ranked 8th at 158-lbs. by AWN, enters this week's action with a 21-6 standard. Current Golden Gopher wrestling statistics also show that Scott Robrer (Sr., 126, Waupun, WI) is next in line wath 20 wins while Chad Carlsoa (Fr., 142, Pennock, MN) is right on his heels with 19. Eric Folkins (Sr., 118, Sacramento, CA) is keeping pace with an 18-6-1 marie. GOPHER NETTERS WILL TRY TO LEAVE MARK ON NATIONAL INDOOR TOURNEY Beginning Thursday through Sunday (Feb. 6-9), the University of Minnesota will play host to the 1m Rolex National Intercollegiate Indoor Tennis Championships. The third leg of the college tennis grand slam will be held at the 98th Street Racquet Club in Bloomingcon on Thursday and Friday with matches starting at 8 a.m. and continuing into the evening. On Saturday and Sunday, the semifinals and finals will be held at the Crosstown Racquet Club in Eden Prairie.

On the doubles court. the Golden Gophers will be represented by senior captain Briaa Uihleia (Lake Forest, Ill.) and h1s sophomore panner Adam Kram (Saginaw, Mich.). Uihlein and Krafft won the Rolex Midwest Regional doubles title m November to automatically qualify for this week's tournament A week ago, Uihlein continued his torrid pace by defeating teammate Rick Naumoff (Jr., Columbus, Ohio) to win the Big Ten Indoor singles championship held in East Lansing, Mich. As host school, Minriesoc.a also recieves a wildcard entry for the doubles bracket Since Uihlein and Krafft qualified on the1r own. A senior Deaa Hlashko (Ardea Hills, Minn.) and sophomore Roger Andersoa (New Hope, MinD.) will be jo1nmg the W field. I GOLDEN GOPHER ALUMNI DEFEATS VARSITY The Golden Gophez men gymnasts fell to the Alumni team 281.75 to 279.05 over the weekend Alumnus Mark McKiernan, a foonerNissen Award runner-up, Big Ten pommel horse champion and All-Big Ten selection captw'ed the all around crown with a score S6.1S. McKiernan won the parallel bars (9.7) and tied for fllSt on the high bar (9.5). For the varsity, freshman KerTJ Huston (Sprina, Tex.) won the floor exercise with a 9.7 and the vault competition with a 9.6. Juniors Jobn Roetblilber1er (St. Paul, Minn.) and Rob Hanson (Ramsey, Minn.) tied for top honors on the pommel horse with a score of 9.7. Roethlisberger also fmished ftrSt on the still rings with a 9.6. Alumnus Joey Ray fmished second in the all-around competition with a score of 56.35. Next Up: The Golden Gophers will compete in the Winter Nationals next Friday and Saturday in Colorado Springs, Colo. SWIMMING & DIVING TEAM TO HOST BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIPS THIS WEEK The University of Minnesota will host the 82nd Annual Big Ten Conference Swimming & Diving Championship this Thursday through Saturday, Feb. 6-8, in the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. Preliminary rounds will begin atlO a.m., with the finals starting at 7 p.m. each day. Head Coach Dennis Dale is in his seventh season at the helm of the Gopher swimming program. Dale has a strong nucleus returning in senior Del Cerney (Staples, Minn.) , last season's Big Ten champion in 50-meter freestyle, and junior Paul Nelsen (Lincoln, Neb.), the Big Ten's defending champion in the 200-meter individual medley. Minnesota (6-1) also has a strong supporting cast in seniors Sean Quackenbush, a three-time All-American who ranks among the nation's best in the butterfly, and Omar Boyd (Los Angeles), an All-American diver. The Golden Gophers finished second at last season's meet in Indianapolis after scoring a school record of 573 points. Minnesota's point production should remain strong after losing only one scorer, AU-American diver Scott Upper, from last year's squad. In 1992 the Golden Gophers' goal is to win the team title, a feat that has not been accomplished since 1926. Pennsylvania State University (9-3) will bid for its ftrst conference title as the Nittany Lions make their debut in the championship meet under head coach Peter Brown. Meanwhile, head coach Jon Urbanchek and the Michigan Wolverines (8- 0) will vie for their seventh consecutive Big Ten crown. The Wolverines have won the title 25 times, but will be without some big names this season. Though the deparnares of Mike Barrowman, Eric Wunderlich and Eric Namesnik represent a significant loss, Brian Gunn, a talented junior butterflyer and national qualifier, remains on the Wolverine team. Ohio State, Iowa. Indiana and Michigan State (10-3) all could rise to the forefront to make it a tight race at the top. All American David Pichler, the 1991 Big Ten Diver of the Year and NCAA National Champion on the 10-meter platfonn. le<1ds the way for the Ohio State Buckeyes (6-2) as they return 12 varsity athletes from a year ago. Eleven-time All-American Artur Wojdat will key the Iowa Hawkeyes (6-2) as they look to win their ftrst conference ut!e since 1982. But head coach Glenn Patton will need help from others if they want to improve on last season's fourth-pllce finish. Last season's Big Ten Coach of the Year, Kris Kirchner, returns for his second season at the helm of the Indiana Hoos11::r~ (8-2). The Hoosiers fmished a surprising third at last season's meet and 15th at the NCAA Championship meet to prove that they have a team with championship capabilities. Much of the burden in helping Indiana return to the championship pod1um for the 24th time falls on the shoulders of senior freestyler Richard Granneman. Tickets are available in advance through the University of Minnesota ticket office (624-8080).

Johnson is the second leading scorer on the Gophers' team this year with 13 goals and 29 assists. He is ninth in the WCHA in scoring and seventh in assists. He is second on the team in power play goals with eight. One of the fastest players in the WCHA, Johnson is an Olympic Trials finalist and one of the keys to Minnesota's league-leading specialty teams. A second round pick of the SL Louis Blues, his size and speed make him one of the top players in the country. Johnson was named to the WCHA All-Freshman team last year, even though he missed most of the second half of the season. A product of the USA Hockey system, Johnson is a strong candidate for the 1994 Olympic team. Trent Klatt "Klatter" 6-1,205, Junior Osseo, Minn. Klatt is the leading goal scorer on the team with 19 goals and 22 assists and is tied for the lead with Larry Olimb in power play goals with nine. A prototype hockey player with size, strength and great hand skills, he is one of the most physically imposing offensive threats in the country. His ability to control the puck with opposing players draped on his back or retrieve the puck from the corners make him a dangerous threat. He leads the Gophers in game-winning goals with four. Another USA Hockey product who was an Olympic Trials fmalist, he has been a leader on the team all year. Klatt A is the type of player who always comes to play, but really turns it up a notch in the big games. -~ Travis Richards "Richie" 6-1, 195 Junior Defenseman Crystal, Minn. Richards is the biggest offensive threat of the Gophers' blueliners. He has the ability to take the puck the length of the ice and score. He leads the Gopher blueliners in scoring with eight goals and 13 assists. He has four power play goals and is a key contributor on the penalty killing unit as well. Richards was an Olympic Festival player and is a ninth round draft pick of the Minnesota North Stars. He has great skating skills and sPeed. and knows how to use his body in the defensive zone. Doug Zmolek "Z-Man" 6-1,215 Junior Defenseman Rochester, Minn. Zmolek is the leader of the Gophers' defense which leads the WCHA. A tough, physical player who delivers punishing checks. He possesses great passing skills and can control the flow of the game when he has the puck. He has three goals and 13 assists this year with two game-winning goals. Another Olympic Trials finalist, he is one of the main reasons the Gophers have held their A foes to less than three goals per-game. He was a first round draft choice of the Minnesota North • Stars, but his rights are now controlled by the San Jose Sharks.

He is 10 assists shan of the all-time assists record held by John Mayasich (19S1-SS, 1S4). Olimb is one of the most versatile players in collegiate hockey. He plays on both the power play and the penalty killing unit. He quarterback's the power play and regularly takes shifts at defense. His open ice ability makes him a threat at all times. Going into last weekend, he led the nation in assists with 144 and wu third in the WCHA in scoring. A great deal of the success of the Gophers this year has been because of the senior captain. He is the team scoring leader (18-41=59), and also leads in power play goals with10. "Stopper" Gaiu Win Number 21: ·Pre-season All-American Jeff Stolp (Nasbwauk, MiDn.) gained win number 21 this past weekend and continued his s1rong play by allowing just five goals in the two games. Srolp lowered his GAA to 2.73 and his save percentage is now .897. The senior is having a phenomenal seuon and has been the backbone of the Gophers' WCHA-leading defense. The Gopbtn are holding their opponents 10 a 283 per-game average in WCHA play. Srolp is the WCHA Ie.ser in GAA, winning percentage (.808), shutouts (2) and shutout periods (32).

More About the Tigen: The Tigers have a pair of fine offensive defensemen in Chris Hynnes (10-23•33) and freshman Kent Feams (S-22=27). Add to that a smooth skating blueliner in Chris Reid and a solid goaltender in freslunan Paul Frank (8-10-2, 4.16 GAA) and you have the makings of a solid defensive club. They have good quickness and forcchecting up front, and can give a team trouble bringing the puck out of its own end With eight games left and only four of them at home, this series is big for the Tigers. They are battling to stay in the playoff picture, but could also end up u high u third. Streaks: The Gophers have compiled some notable streaks in the past few games. rust, the team has won 13 of their last 14 games, and 19 of their last 22 games.

Since the team's flight to West Lafayette, Ind. on Feb. 4, Kolander has experienced muffled hearing and general discomfort in the ear. Dr. Elizabeth Arendt, team orthopaedist, said that after examination the symptoms point to a fluid leakage between the middle and inner ear. The problem can be caused due to pressure changes that occur during an airline flight She added that if the condition does not improve, microscopic surgery might be needed. Dr. Arendt added that possible high noise levels at Williams Arena tonight may cause Kolander some discomfort and dizziness. Kolander has been advised against flying and plans call for him to be driven to Champaign for Saturday night's game against Illinois. He is scheduled to undergo further examinations on Monday. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA JEWS Bierman Field Athletic Building 516 15th Avenue Southeast Minneapolis, MN 55455 (612) 625-4090 Fax 625-0359 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 13, 1992 GOPHER BASEBALL TEAM CALIFORNIA TRIP WASHED OUT The University of Minnesota Golden Gopher baseball team (2-1) was scheduled to journey to the West Coast for a weekend series with Cal State-Fullerton, but due to the severe weather conditions California has been experiencing the series has been cancelled. Minnesota is scheduled to travel to Mississippi for a three-game set with Ole Miss February 21, 22 and 23, before returning home for the Oscar Meyer Baseball Classic the following weekend at the Metrodome. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA JEW§ Bierman Field Athletic Building 516 15th Avenue Southeast Minneapolis, MN 55455 (612) 625-4090 Fax 625-0359 FORIMMEDIA1E RELEASE February 13,.1992 CARTER & KOLANDER NOT EXPECTED TO PLAY AT ILLINOIS Sophomore Randy Carter and redshirt freshman Chad Kolander are not expected to make the trip to Champaign, Ill. for the University of Minnesota's basketball game against lllinois on Saturday. Carter, who underwent successful surgery to remove bone spurs from both ankles on Jan. 20 at the University of Minnesota Hospital, has been out of the lineup since the Michigan State game on Jan. 18. Despite having his playing time and effectiveness drop off drastically prior to the surgery because of the injury, the 6-foot-9, 230-pounder has played in 17 games this season and he leads the team in rebounding at 6.1 boards a game and is ranked second in scoring at 10.4 points a game. Golden Gopher Head Coach Clem Haskins said that he would bring Carter along on the trip only in the case of an injury or illness at the last minute to another player. "Randy is not in good enough game shape right now," Haskins said. "When I call on Randy, I want him to be able to deliver the big bucket, the big rebound for us. I have to know in my heart that he's 110 percent healthy and ready to go. Right now, our plans are to work him out tomorrow before we leave and then have a practice schedule for him to follow over the weekend. If his progress and his conditioning continues to improve, our target date for him to return to the lineup will be at Michigan on Wednesday." Already suffering from a high-frequency hearing loss and noise distortion in his right ear, Kolander sustained a hip pointer during Wednesday's 71-67 victory over No.4 Indiana at Williams Arena. He scored four points and collected six rebounds in the win and is now averaging 5.8 points and 3.6 rebounds a game. Since the team's flight to West Lafayette, Ind. on Feb. 4, the 6-foot-9, 220-pounder has experienced muffled hearing and general discomfort in the ear. Dr. Elizabeth Arendt, team orthopedist, said that after examination the symptoms point to a fluid leakage between the middle and inner ear. The problem can be caused due to pressure changes that occur during an airline flight and he has been advised against flying. She added that if the condition does not improve, microscopic surgery might be needed. He is scheduled to undergo further examinations on Monday. "With the hip pointer and the ear ailment, Chad is not physically able to play basketball for us at the present time," Haskins said. "We will rest him over the weekend, and then after the examinations, see if he will be able to make the trip to Michigan on Wednesday. He's played very well for us and we will miss him a lot on Saturday." The Golden Gophers upped their overall record to 15-9 with last night's big victory. The win also helped them maintain a grip on sole possession of third-place in the Big Ten standings with a 7-4 league mark. Although Saturday's game at lllinois is obviously an important one, Haskins did not let that enter into the decision-making process regarding the availability of Carter and Kolander. "Common sense goes a long ways," Haskins said. "I don't let winning and losing affect the health of my players." UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA • JEW§ Bierman Field Athletic Building 516 15th Avenue Southeast Minneapolis, MN 55455 (612) 625-4090 Fax 625-0359 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 19, 1992 GOLDEN GOPHER BASEBALL TEAM HOSTS TOP TWENTY-FIVE TALENT IN THE OSCAR MAYER BASEBALL CLASSIC AT THE METRODOME John Anderson's University of Minnesota baseball team will defend its 1991 Oscar Mayer Baseball Classic championship on February 28-March 1. Once again the Gophers will host some of the finest collegiate talent in the land. All four teams are ranked in the top twenty five, including fifth ranked Florida State Seminoles, the 25th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies, the seventh-ranked Mississippi State Bulldogs and our own twentieth-ranked Golden Gophers. This is the second year since Oscar Mayer took over primary sponsorship of this spring classic and it further demonstrates their commitment to youth baseball in Minnesota and across the country. Oscar Mayer is not alone in their support of this fme tournament American Airlines is the official air carrier of the Oscar Mayer Baseball Classic and the Metrodome Hilton is the official hotel of the Oscar Mayer Baseball Classic. All the action begins on Friday, February 28 at 2:00p.m., when Texas A&M and Mississippi State square off in the tournament opener. Later that night, the Golden Gophers will play host to the Florida State Seminoles. Saturday's slate has a special event scheduled. At 11:00 a.m., the annual youth baseball clinic will take place. This event is open to baseball players and coaches of all ages, and allows them to come out on the Metrodome carpet for some instructional lessons from the coaches and players of all the teams participating in the tourney. At 2:00p.m., the Golden Gophers will do battle with Mississippi State. Texas A&M and Florida State will play in the 6:00 p.m. nightcap. Sunday the tournament concludes with Minnesota playing Texas A&M at 1:15 p.m., and Florida State and Mississippi State finishing the tourney schedule. Friday evening, the Classic will play host to "Winter Break at the Dome.' The fan dressed in the most creative beachwear will win a spring break package for two. On Sunday, it's the "Minnesota Leap for Baseball," which is a promotion that allows area youths to leap their way from the third base line to the center field wall to collect special prizes and baseball memorabilia. The talent that will be displayed during the tournament at the Metrodome is indicative of the talent that has competed in the tourney since its inception in 1985. Since that first year, 24 players who have competed in the tournament have gone on to professional baseball and are now active in the Major Leagues. A total of 156 players who have played in the tournament are currently playing professional baseball at some level. In addition, last year's tournament produced two first round Major League draft choices in Brent Gates (Oakland) and David McCarty (Twins). This clearly demonstrates the quality of competition in this highly-respected collegiate baseball tournament. Last year the Golden Gophers won the tournament by defeating highly-ranked Stanford on the last day of the tournament 9-3. This year should bring much of the same exciting collegiate baseball action to the Metrodome. Tickets for this event are $5, or $1 with any UPC label off an Oscar Mayer product. For more ticket information, contact the Golden Gopher ticket office at 624-8080.

With Saturday's win die number411 ranked Gophen (25-7, 21-5) won their 13th victory in 14 WCHA games and their 21st victory in A their last 24 ~ Tbe 111111c number for the team is one. Ally Minnesota victory or Wisconsin loss would clinch the school's W' ninth WCHA tide and HeldColda Doq Woois third league tide in seven years of coaching. This weekend, the Badgers travel to Colorado College for a~ set. while the Gophers continue their five-game homestand with two games against Denver University (8-21-1, 7-18-1). Game time for both games is 7:05p.m. The "Bil 0" Joiu the lOG-Point Club: Robey Baker and All-American candidate Larry OUmb (Warroad, Minn.) became the seventh player in school history to reach the 200-point plateau. Olimb fittingly reached the milestone on an assisL The senior capcain has 146 usists in his career and is just eight assists short of the career assist record held by John Mayasich (1951-SS, 154). With 43 assists this year, Olimb has a shot at breaking the single-season assist mark of 59 (1980-81) held by Aaron Broten. Olimb is the rust member of the 200-point club to have played at least half of his career at defense. That versatility is what makes Olimb arguably the most valuable player in the WCHA. He regularly takes shifts at defense as weD as his listed position of cenrer. The only spot he hasn't lined up at this year is goalie. He quarterback's the power play and is on penalty killing and four-on-four units. Laylin Keys Gopher Sweep: Senior right wing Cory Laylin (St. Cloud, Minn.) was one of a group of key players that stepped forward in Saturday's game and conaibuted to the sweep of the Tigers. Colorado College had battled strongly all weekend and rmally took a lead on David Paxton's goal in the second period. The Gophers' fourth line of Jobn BrUI (Grand Rapids. Minn.), Steve Magnusson (Anoka, Minn.) and Scott Bell (St. Paul, Minn.) countered with Bell's goal at the 18:29 mark to send the two teams to the locker rooms tied at three. After the period break. Laylin took charge by scoring the Gophcn' next two goals on suong determined efforts. The second goal came after C.C. had tied the game at 4-4 on a Chris Venkus goal. The final margin was provided by Trent Klatt's (Osseo, Minn.) 175-foot open-net goal at 19:44. Laylin has been a key player for the team down the stretch. He kills penalties and plays on the second power play uniL He has points in 11 of the last 12 games with nine goals and seven assists in that period, including two game-winning goals. Magnusson had a strong weekend and opened the scoring on Saturday with his eighth goal of the year. For the year, the freshman ranks sixth on the team in scoring in all games and fifth in WCHA games. "Stopper Condnues To Roll With Wins Number 22-23: Pre-season All-American goalrender Jeff Stolp (Nashwauk, Minn.) continues to prove prognosticators right with his outstanding play. Stolp leads the NCAA in wins with .. 23, and his winning percentage of .821 is in the top four in the country. Stolp leads the WCHA in wins (23), GAA, shutouts (2), ~ shutout periods (34) and winning percentage. He is the backbone of the top-ranked defense in the WCHA, that is holding its opponents to 2.88 goals per game in conference play. Stolp was the top goalie in the WCHA last year when he posted a GAA of 2.71 and a save percentage of .896. This year he has put himself into the record books by becoming the third-winningest goalie in Minnesota history. His 53 wins puts him behind John Blue (1984-87, 64) and Hobey Baker winner Robb Stauber (1986-89, 73) in the all-time wins chart. His 3.10 career GAA puts him third on that list behind Stauber (2.77) and Jim Mattson (1951-54, 2.48). Klatt Attack: Pre-season All-American Trent Klatt continues to shine this year. The junior alternate captain had three goals and five assists for the weekend. He leads the team in goals with 23, and is tied for the NCAA lead in game-winners with five. His 10 power play goals ties him for the team lead with Olimb and Darby Hendrickson (Richfield, Minn). With 23 goals and 28 assists, Klatt is second on the Gophers' scoring charL He went into the weekend ninth in the WCHA in scoring and should have climbed a spot or two with his strong five-point performance. Freshman Flash: Darby Hendrickson, the coaches pre-season pick as Freshman or the Year, continues to prove the coaches right. The 6-0, 175-pound center/wing is tied for second on the team in goals with 19, and has posted nine power play goals. He has scored points in 13 of the last 15 games with 8-17=25 during that span. This talented young player is everything he was expected to be and more. He went into the weekend as the top freshman scorer in the conference and 13th overall. Woog Watch: Head Coach Doug Woog has r:11sed his career record to 220-81-11 this year for a .825 winning percentage. the highest of any coach in the collegiate ranks. He is the winningest coach in school history and his teams have never finished lu'.l. cr than second in the WCHA. This year he is closing in on his third WCHA title and his seventh consecutive NCAA playoff appearance.

This weekend the team travels to Oxford. Miss .• f On tbe Attack: Offensively. the Gophers return last year's Big Ten Freshman of the Year and a freshman All-American in • Mark Merila (PIJIDOUtb, Minn.). The All-American second baseman candidate has power from both sides of the plate and will be the go-to guy at the plate for the Maroon and Gold this year. Merila knocked in the game-winning run in the Gophers 3-2, 10-inning win over Arizona. He will not be alone on offense, the Gophers also return All-American candidate Ryan Lefebvre (Los Angeles) in center field. Lefebvre is a big catalyst for the Gophers. He leads the team in almost all career offensive categories and his speed on the base paths is a dangerous weapon. This year he is batting .333 with two stolen bases in as many attempts. Fifth-year senior Brian Hartmann (Arlington, Minn.) will anchor the catcher position for the Gophers, but missed the Arizona series because of a shoulder problem he aggravated at the U.S. Olympic Trials last November. Hartmann did DH during the series and had his first homer of the year in the Gophers' 8-3 drubbing of the Wildcats that concluded the series. Hartmann is looking to go out in style after having a great summer in the Cape Cod league. In all, the Gophers return 14 lettermen from last season's team which finished second in the Big Ten to Ohio State. Big Defense: The Golden Gopher defense will be anchored up the middle by Hartmann, Merila and Lefebvre. The team. which has led the Big Ten in defense the past two seasons, will have a new player at first base with the departure of Jeff Monson. Senior co-captain Steve Calvert (Edina, Minn.) is holding down third base, while veterans Tom Doyle (Rapid City, S.D.) and George Behr (St. Paul, Minn.) will battle for playing time at first base. Behr has the edge right now, and is leading the team in batting with a .444 average and has one homer. In addition, Behr had one of only two team hits in the Gophers' Professional Alumni game at the Metrodome last Tuesday when he belted a two-run, 400-foot blast into the Metrodome seats off of major leaguer Denny Neagle of the Twins, accounting for the varsity's only runs in the 5-2 exhibition loss. In the outfield. Lefebvre will have veterans on both sides with Keith 'Krenke (Owatonna, Minn.) in right field, and fleet-footed sophomore Charlie Nelson (Perham, M.inn.) battling junior Darren Schwankl (Burnsville, Minn.) for the left field spoL Schwankl can play any outfield or infield positions. giving Minnesota skipper John Anderson some flexibility in the late innings. Pitching Report: On the hill the Gophers will be led by senior John Lowery (Shepherdston, W. Virginia) who pitched 4 and a third innings against Arizona without giving up a run. Lowery was the team leader in appearances last year, and is a smooth left-handed pitcher. Other probable starters for the Ole Miss series are Jeff Schmidt (LaCrosse, Wise.), who pitched five innings and gained the win against Arizona in the series finale and Eric Slagle (Barrington, Ill.). The Gophers will have a variety of pitchers in the bullpen, including senior J.T.

CLOUD STATE Doug Woog's Golden Gopher hockey team split a pair of games with Denver University this past weekend 4-S and 7-3. The win on Saturday clinched the school's ninth WCHA tide and gave the Gophers possession of the prestigious MacNaughton Cup. Minnesoca (26-8, 22-6), can now concentrate on its remaining four regular season games. The Gophers play a home and home series this weekend with SL Cloud State, before fmishing the season with two games at N~ Dakota. Friday night will be Senior A Night at Mariucci Arena and there will be a special presentation to the Gophers' seniors and their parents. W Woog Watch: The 1991-92 WCHA tide gives Doug Woog the third in his coaching career at Minnesota ('87-'88, '88-'89 and '91-'92). Woog has now raised his career record at Minnesota to 221-82-11. The former Gophec AU-American is the all-time winningest coach at MinnesoCa and has the highest overall winning percentage of any active coach in collegiate hockey with a .721 pen:elllage. Coming on Strong: Senior wing Cory LayUn (St. Cloud, MiDn.) has been a key part of the Gophers' success in the past few weeks. In his last 14 games he has 10 goals and eight assists, and his play on the penalty killing and power play units has been outstanding. New Scoring Puneh: The Gophers 11 goals over the weekend came from some new faces. On Friday night, the third line of John Brill (Grand Rapids, Minn.), Steve Magnusson (Anoka, Minn.) and Seott BeD (St. Paul, MiDn.) was the top unit on the ice. Bell notched his 11th goal of the seasoo, while Magnusson had a pair of assists and Brill had another. On Saturday night, the fourth line of Todd Westlund (Burnsville, Minn.), Justin MeHugh (Minnetonka, Minn.) and Brandon Steege (Burnsville, MiDn.) accounted for four of the seven Gopher goals. McHugh had the first hat Uick of his collegiate career and added an assist. while Steege notched his first collegiate goal and added an assist. Westlund had two assists and was a physical force in the comers. Eight of the 11 goals over the weekend came from people who are not in the top six on the team in scoring. If the Gophers continue to get the strong play from the third and fourth lines, and get the first two tines scoring, then the Minnesota offense will be tough to stop. Klatt on the Attaek: Pre-season All-American Trent Klatt (Osseo, MiDD.) had another solid weekend for the Gopbeft. The alternate captain had two goals and an assist to raise his totals for the year to 2S goals and 29 assists. Klatt leads the Gophen in goals and is second in power play goals with 10. Hendrickson Notches Number 20: Freshman of the Year candidate Darby Hendrkksoa (Riehfield, Minn.) notched his 20th goal of the year on Friday night making him the rust Gopher freshman to reach that plateau since Trent Klatt had 22 in 1989-90. For the year, Hendrickson has 20 goals and 24 assists and is fourth in team scoring. He isn't the only freshman near the A top of the scoring charts. Steve Magnusson is now fifth in scoring with eight goals and 19 assists for the year. W Big "0": Hobey Baker and AU-American candidate Larry OUmb (Warroad, Minn.) is the team's leading scorer with 19 goals and 43 assists. With 146 career assists, he is eight assists short of the all-lime assist record at Minnesota held by John Mayasich (1951-55, 154). Olimb is also the newest member of the 200-Point Club at Minnesota with 200 career points. He is the only member of that club to have played half his career at defense. His ability to play any position on the ice, except goalie, is what makes him one of the top players in the country and a very valuable member of the Minnesota squad. "Stopper Gains Win Number 24: All-American candidate Jeff Stolp (Nashwauk, Minn.) notched his 24th win of the year and his 54th career win at Minnesota. Stolp leads the WCHA in GAA (2.87), wins (24), shutouts (2), shutout periods (3S) and winning percentage (.800). He has been the backbone of the Gophers' league-leading defense all year. He is now number three on the all-lime win list at Minnesota and has the third-best career GAA (3.10) of any Minnesota goalie. Next Up: The MinnesotaJSL Cloud State series this weekend will be emotion-filled as usual. Minnesota has a 7-0-2 edge in the series and won both games earlier this year. The Maroon and Gold won at SL Cloud on November 1, 7-4. The game was nearly cancelled due to the HaUoweea Blizzard that dropped over 20 inches of snow on the area. The Saturday night game at Mariucci Arena was a 7-2 decision in favor mthe Gophers. For the weekend, the Gophers notched four short-handed goals, two by Larry Olimb and two by Scott BeD. About The Huskies: The Huskies are led by seniors Jeff Saterdalen and Tim Hanus. Saterdalen leads the team in scoring with 14 goals and 26 assists, while Hanus has 1S goals and 22 assists. Grant Sjervan has been the top goalie with a 8-S reccxd and a GAA of 3.99. The Huskies are coached by Craig Dahl who has a 78-94-11 record at the helm of the Huskies program.

Six of the team's first nine games are against opponents ranked in the top 25, with five of them being against teams in the top 10. Head Coach John Anderson believes in playing a tough non-conference slate to prepare the team for the rigors of Big Ten play. Last year, victories over ranked opponents like Stanfonl, Miami, Notre Dame and Ohio State were inscrumental in gaining the at-large berth in the NCAA West I regional. Last year, the Gophers played 14 of their 56 games against teams ranked in the top 20. Florida State Notes: The Seminoles are ranked fifth in the nation by Baseball A~Mrica and were 7-1 going into their weekend series with Duke. They are coached by Mike Martin who has a 672-220-3 record in his 12 plus years at Florida State. Offensively, the Seminoles are led by Chris Roberts who is a top pitcher and hitter. Last year he was 7-2 on the hill and has a 15-4 career mark. At the plate, Roberts batted .321 with 77 RBfs last year. Roger Bailey is another top pitcher for Florida State. He has a 20-4 career mark and won 11 games last year. The Seminoles joined the Atlantic Coast Conference this year aftre being in the Meuo Conference for many years. Texas A&M Notes: The Aggics are coached by Mark Johnson who had a 321-123-1 record coming into the year. Last year the Aggies advanced to the NCAA South Regional, before being eliminated by Southwestern Louisiana. They are led by AU-American pitcher Jeff Granger who posted a 9-2 record last year. He was chosen to pitch for Team USA in the Pan American games and won two games, helping the team win the bronze medal Offensively, the top returning hitter for the Aggies is senior Conrad Colby who batted .359last year and knocked in 59 runs. earning all-tournament honors in the NCAA South Regional. Mississippi State Notes: The Bulldogs are coached by Ron Polk who is in his 17th year at the helm of the Bulldog program. Polk was the head coach of Team USA, which won the bronze medal at die Pan American games in Havana. Cuba. The Bulldogs will open their 1992 season at the Metrodome against Texas A&M. They return seven starters from last year's 42-21 team which participated in the scbool•s 11th NCAA Regional in 14 years. Senior Charlie Anderson returns after garnering AU-SEC and team MVP honors last year. FU'Sl baseman Chuck Daniel returns and he may also see some time on the hill after leading the team in saves in 1990. The Bulldogs return many of their top pitchers including, freshman AU-America choice Jay Powell, who picked up a school record 10 saves a year ago. The sophomore is rared the fifth-best closer in the country by Baseball Amuica.

Defending Champioa Laq Leads Powerful Weight Crew: With two throwers over 60 feet and four over 50 feet in the shot put, the Golden Gophers have assembled what many have called their finest weight crew, in tenns of quality and depth, in school history. Heading into the Big Ten Championships, the Golden Gophers have the league's top three performances in the shot put (all rankings listed are as of 2/20192). Senior Mark Lacy (Oak Brook, m.), who collected All-American honors in the shot put at the NCAA Outdoor Championships last spring, is the defending indocx' league champion in the event He won last year's competition with a throw of 59-9. At the Wisconsin Invitational back on Jan. 25, he uncorked a penonal-best and NCAA provisional qualifying throw of 60-7 l/4.Junior Chad Goldstein (St. Louis Park, MinD.), fourth at the conference indoor meet a year ago with a heave of SS-10 1/4, won the Northwest Open back on Jan. 18 with a personal-best and NCAA provisional qualifying throw of 60-1. Sophomore Chris BriDkworth (Bloomington, Minn.), who has also surpassed the provisional qualifying standard with a personal-best toss of 57-9 earlier this season, is ranked third in the league in the event heading into this weekend. Redshirt freshman Robert Hydukovich (Bemidji, Minn.) set a new personal-best with a toss of 51-1 1/2 at the Golden Gopher Open this past weekaJd. Jumpers Shine: Junior Chris Murrell (Grand Island, Neb.) in the high jump and freshman Keita Cline (Gainesville, Fla.) in the ttiple jump also stand atop the Big Ten's indoor best list heading into the conference meet Mmrell, wbo collected All American horKn after finishing eighth at the NCAA Outdom Championships last spring, surpassed the NCAA provisional qualifying standard with a leap of 7-2 1/2 at the Cyclone Invitational on Feb. 15. He leaped 7-3 to win the 1990 Big Ten indom tide as a rookie and set a new school record in the process. Sophomore Matt Burns (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) marclled his personal-best with a winning leap of 6-10 3/4 at last weekend's Golden Gopher Open. He came very close to topping the 7-0 mart and should be B'tbrea alongside Murrell this weekend. Cline finished third in the Uiple jump at the Cyclone Invitational with a provisional qualifyjngleap of 51-8 1/2, topping teammate Tyrone Minor's (St. Paul, MinD.) school record of S0-4 set at the Wisconsin Invitatioaal bact on Jan. 2S in the process. That jump has Minor ranked tJ:Unt in the league heading into this weekend. Minor with a leap~ 24-3 1/4 and Cline at 24-1 3/4 are ranked sixth and seventh in the conference in the long jump, while Minor will also be a threat to score points in the 55 meters with a season-best of 6.32. Senior Dan Savitt (Plymouth, Minn.), fifth in the triple jump last year au46-7 1(2, will be a threat in both the ttiple and long jumps, while freshman Adrian EUis (Racine, Wis.) has a best of 49-2 1/4 in the triple jump to his credit this season. On The Track: Sophomore Norris Williams (Milwaukee) in the 600 meters, redshirt freshman Jason Max (Minnetonka, Minn.) in the 800 meters and junior Mark Narveson (Mankato, Minn.) in the 3000 meters, all rank near the top of the league ~best list this season. Williams, fifth in the 400 meters at both the indoor and outdoor conference meets as a rookie last year, ran a school record clocking of 1:19.70 in the 600 meters earlier this season. He is ranked fifth in the event Max is also ranked fifth with a time of 1:53.15 in the 800. Narveson cranked out a swift 8:19.25 clocking at the Cyclone Invitational on Feb. 15 and is ranked a distant second to Indiana superstar Bob Kennedy (8:02.23) heading into the Big Ten meet. Tyrone Minor will be joined in tbe sprints by senior Tim Arinze (Festic Town, Lagos, Nigeria) and junior Kirk Dyer (San Jose, Calif.). Both Arinze and Dyer have scored at the Big Ten indoor and outdocx' meets in the past and have the experience and ability to do so again. Dyer raced to a school reccn1 clocking of 22.16 in the 200 meters at the Cyclone Invitational. With a best of 3:15.27, the Golden Gophers will loot to score in the 4 x 400 meter relay. The 4 x 800 meter relay unit will also look to be in the hunt Eriksson & Fitzgerald Look Sharp: Sophomore Martin Eriksson (Stoc:kholm, Sweden), who has been bothered by shin splints throughout the entire indoor season, won the pole vault at last Saturday's Golden Gopher Open by clearing 17-0 3/4. A vault such as that would put bim right in the hunt for top honors and provide a big boost to the Golden Gophers' hopes. He cleared 17-6 l/4last season. Senior Seaa Fitzgerald (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada), who has seen limited action this season due to an ankle injury, won the 1500 meters at the Gold Country Open with a clocking of 3:57.57. Although he is far from peak condition, he has the experience and savvy to be a possible point producer this weekend and will be a key member of the 4 x 800 relay unit. The Road To Indianapolis: The NCAA Indoor Championships will be held on Match 13-14 at the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis. The Golden Gophets have five povisional qualifiers fm the national meet thus far.
