The Golden Gopher hockey team opened up the 1991-92 season by splitting their series at Duluth. The Gophers won the first game 7-3 and lost the series finale 7-4. The Gophers are now one point behind Northern Michigan in the WCHA standings after the Wildcats gained a tie and a win against Colorado College last weekend. This week the Gophers travel to Denver to take on the Pioneers, who lost two games at home against North Dakota to fall into last place with St. Cloud State who was idle.
UMD Recap: The Gophers opened the season with an exciting 7-3 come-from-behind victory led by All-American candidate Larry Olimb's (Warroad, MN) four point night. The Gophers trailed the game 3-1 until the 8:49 mark of the second period. In the next 32 seconds the Gophers scored three goals and just missed breaking a forty-four year old team record. That record for the fastest three goals was set in 1947 and remained intact, but another team record did not. The fastest two goals record had been set by Larry Olimb and Lance Pitlick in the 1988-89 season against Colorado College. That record of eight seconds for the fastest two goals fell to Craig Johnson (St. Paul, MN) and All-American candidate Travis Richards (Crystal, MN) as the two scored goals seven seconds apart at the 9:14 and 9:21 marks of the period. The Gophers went on to cruise to the victory scoring the last six goals of the game.
In the Saturday game, the Gophers dug a hole letting the Bulldogs jump out to a 3-0 lead before the Gophers cut it to 3-2 at the end of the second period. The Bulldogs came out flying in the third period, scoring three straight goals to take a 6-2 lead and never looked back. On the bright side, the Gophers power play scored five times in 18 attempts in the penalty marred games and showed some offensive flash. Pre-season All-American Trent Klatt (Osseo, MN) had a strong weekend, scoring three goals and three assists, while his center Craig Johnson had two goals and four assists. Larry Olimb notched six points for the Gophers and freshman Steve Magnusson (Dayton, MN) had a his first goal as a Gopher and two key assists. The offensive punch that Doug Woog was looking for appeared, but the Gophers defense and goaltending was not as consistent as Woog had hoped for.
Next Up: The Gophers have a tough assignment this week with the vastly improved Denver Pioneers, Friday October 25 and Saturday Oct. 26, with game times slated for 7:05p.m. MT both nights. Head Coach Frank Serratore's squad lost both games of their opening series with North Dakota, but are looking to improve on their last place fmish of a year ago. The Pioneers return 14 lettermen, including defenseman Ken MacArthur, who spent last season with the Canadian National Team. The Gophers won all four games with the Pioneers last year, including 5-2 and 2-0 victories at Denver, October 19-20, 1991.
The Series: The Gophers series with Denver stands at 62-41-6 in favor of the Maroon and Gold with Gophers last loss to the Denver team coming in the first game of the 1989-90 WCHA Tournament in St. Paul, MN. Woog has a 15-6-1 record against Denver, with four of the Gophers losses coming in Woog's first season when Denver made it to the NCAA Final Four and lost the third place game to the Gophers. Woog is 8-0 in the last four season's at Denver Arena and 8-3-1 overall at DU.
Serratore Connection: Denver Head Coach Frank Serratore was a former player for Woog with the St. Paul Vulcans, In fact, Serratore shared goaltending duties with Gopher Assistant Coach Mark Mazzoleni while with the Vulcans. Serratore had great success in the USJHL at Rochester, MN before signing on with the Pioneer's for the 1990-91 season.
Broadcast Notes: Prime Sports will broadcast the Saturday game as the only TV action of the series, but KF AN 1130 will broadcast both games of the series from Denver with Greg Harrington and Doug Johnson bringing home the action. 1991-92 Minnesota Golden Gophers HOCKEY STATS AFTER 2 GAMES OVERALL LEAGUE ONLY 00 NAME GP G A PTS PEN MIN pp SH HAT WG EN GP G A PTS PEN MIN ------14 Craig Johnson,C 2 2 4 6 2 12 1 0 0 0 0 2 2 4 6 2 12 17 Larry Olimb, C 2 1 5 6 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 2 1 5 6 1 2 22 Trent Klatt,W 2 3 2 5 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 2 3 2 5 1 2 21 Mike Muller, D 2 1 1 2 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 1 2 1 2 15 Steve Magnusson,C/W 2 0 2 2 2 4 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 2 2 2 4 24 Travis Richards,D 2 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 0 1 0 0 20 Jeff Nielsen,W 2 1 0 1 3 6 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 0 1 3 6 09 Joe Dziedzic,F 2 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 2 1 0 1 0 0 08 Eric Means,D 2 0 1 1 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 1 1 1 2 34 Todd Westlund,W 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 29 Tom Newman,G 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 27 Jed Fieblekorn,W 1 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 2 33 Doug zmolek,D 2 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 2 30 Jeff Stolp,G 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 16 John Brill, F 2 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 2 12 Cory Lay lin, F 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 10 Scott Bell,F/D 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 07 Darby Hendrickson,C 2 0 0 0 4 8 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 4 8 OS Nick Gerebi,C 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 04 Chris McApine,D 2 0 0 0 8 16 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 8 16 02 Sean Fabian,D 2 0 0 0 2 4 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 4 Bench 1 2 1 2 ------Minnesota Golden Gop 2 10 15 25 29 66 4 0 0 0 0 2 10 15 25 29 66 OPPONENTS 2 10 12 22 25 57 2 1 0 1 1 2 10 12 22 25 57

CLOUD STATE HOME-AND-HOME SERIES THIS WEEKEND The University of Minnesota hockey team split the weekend series at Denver to bring their record to 2-2 overall. The games followed the opposite pattern of the previous weekend when they had won the ftrst night and lost the second night. The Gophers were sluggish and penalty ridden in the Friday night game losing to the Pioneers for the first time in 16 games by a score of 4-2. The Gophers rebounded on Saturday night gaining a 5-1 victory to capture the split. The split left the Gophers just two points out of ftrst place in the WCHA standings. Wisconsin and North Dakota are in frrst place with 3-1 records, Northern Michigan has a 2-1-1 slate, while Minnesota and UMD both are at 2-2. Denver Recap: The Gophers opened up the series with Denver sluggishly and could never gain any flow. The Maroon and Gold was penalized 16 times and played five on five hockey for only 22 minutes of the game. A bright spot in the game was the play of Scott Bell (St. Paul, MN) and Cory Laylin (St. Cloud, MN). Those two players competed and Bell got the Gophers on the board with an outstanding individual effort at the 10:33 mark of the second period. Another bright spot was the play of All-American candidate Jeff Stolp (Nashwauk, MN) in nets. The WCHA's leading goalie in 1990-91 had another outstanding game and kept the Gophers in the contest even though he suffered the loss. The game also marked the debut of freshman goalie Jeff Callinan (Minnetonka, MN), who came into the game with seven minutes left to spare Stolp some of the Denver barrage. On Saturday, the Gophers regrouped and got their offense on track. The Pioneers scored first on a breakaway goal at the 6:09 mark of the opening period, but that ended up being their only tally of the night as Stolp and the Gopher defense shut the door on them. The Gophers responded to the opening Denver goal with their own goal 33 seconds later when Scott Bell knocked in a rebound .a off a Steve Magnusson (Dayton, MN) shot and tied the game. The Gophers picked up .., another goal from Joe Dziedzic (Minneapolis, MN) before the end of the first period. In the second period sophomore Craig Johnson (St. Paul, MN) put on a display, scoring a pair of goals, including a beautiful individual play where he split the Denver defense and beat the goalie between the legs. Home Opener: The Gophers open up their 1991-92 home schedule this weekend as part of a home-and-home series with the St. Cloud State Huskies. The Gophers travel to St. Cloud on Friday to play the Huskies on their sheet, before opening up the '91-'92 home slate on Saturday night, at 7:05p.m. in Mariucci Arena. The Series: The Gophers have never lost to the Huskies, holding a 4-0-1 record against them. One of those games was the 1987 U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame game which was counted as one of the Gophers 38 games that year. Last season the Gophers opened up against the Huskies in their WCHA debut. Both teams battled intensely before a standing room only crowd as the teams tied 3-3 in overtime. The Gophers won the other three games of the series last season by scores of 5- 4, 7-1 and 7-3. About the Huskies: St. Cloud had an immediate impact on WCHA standings last season and more of the same is expected this year. Head Coach Craig Dahl returns 10 lettermen and a host of talented newcomers. The Huskies opened their season last weekend losing a pair of 5-4 decisions to Wisconsin at home. The top players for St. Cloud this year are forwards Jeff Saterdalen and Tim Hanus, and defensman Brett Lievers. That trio was three of the top five scorers from last year. The Huskies suffered a big loss to the U.S. Olympic team when defenseman Brett Hedican was chosen to play for the Red, White and Blue this past summer. About Dahl: Head Coach Craig Dahl is going into his filth year at St. Cloud and holds a 65~81- 9 record at the helm. His overall record stands at 124~ 152~ 7 in this his 11th season of collegiate coaching. The Huskies surprised many people last year when they fmished tied for filth in the WCHA standings and defeated UMD in the first round of the WCHA playoffs before falling to the North Dakota Fighting Sioux in three games. Broadcast Notes: Both Games of the St. Cloud State series will be broadcast by MSC with Doug McLeod and Dick Bremer bringing you all of the action. The Huskie series, like all Gopher games, will be broadcast on KFAN 1130 AM, with Greg Harrington and Doug Johnson calling the action. Border Battle: The Gophers are playing host to the Wisconsin Badgers on November 15~16. The Badger grid team will also be in town to play the Gophers at the Metrodome and the weekend has been dubbed the "Border Battle." The Saturday hockey game has been moved to the Met Center in Bloomington, MN to accommodate more fans for this always thrilling series. The Met Center game is scheduled for a 7:35p.m. start, while the Friday night Mariucci arena game is scheduled to start at 7:05p.m. 1991-92 Minnesota Gophers HOCKEY STATS AFTER 4 GAMES W-L-T MN OPP OPPONENT ATTEND PLACE & DATE w 7 3 Minnesota-Duluth 5664 Duluth, MN 7:35 p.m. 10/18/91 L 4 7 Minnesota-Duluth 5451 Duluth, MN 7:00 p.m. 10/19/91 e L 2 4 University of Denver 3745 Denver, co 7:00 p.m lC/25/91 w 5 1 University of Denver 3106 Denver, co 7:00 p.m. 10/26/91 RECORD HOME ROAD SEASON LEAGUE 0- 0- 0 2- 2-. 0 2- 2- 0 NON-LEAGUE 0- 0- 0 0- 0- 0 0- 0- 0 TOTAL ]- 0- 0 2- 2- 0 2- 2- 0 ATTENDANCE HOME ROAD NEUTRAL LEAGUE 0 17,966 0 OTHER 0 0 0 TOTAL 0 17,966 0 AVERAGE 4,491 TOTAL 17,966 TOTAL AVG 4,491 1991-92 Minnesota Gophers HOCKEY STATS AFTER 4 GAMES POWER PLAYS ATT PPG PCT SH Minnesota Gophers 39 7 .180 0 OPPONENTS 49 5 .100 1 .aHAT TRICKS FOR 0 WSHORT HANDED FOR 0 ]')9J-()L' MinnP~;ot,1 Golden C<,pher~; HOCKEY STATS AFTER 4 GAMES OVERALL LEAGUE ONLY NO NAME c;p G A PTS PF.N MIN pp SH HAT WG EN GP G A PTS PEN MIN ------14 Craig Johnson,C 4 4 5 9 2 12 2 0 0 0 0 4 4 5 9 2 12 22 Trent Klatt,W 4 J 4 7 2 4 1 0 0 0 0 4 3 4 7 2 4 17 Larry Ol imb, C 4 l 6 7 5 18 1 0 0 0 0 4 1 6 ., s 18 15 Steve Magnusson,C/W 4 1 3 4 3 6 0 0 0 0 0 4 1 3 4 3 6 24 Travis Richards,D 4 2 1 3 2 4 1 0 0 1 0 4 2 1 3 2 4 10 Scott Bell,F/D 4 2 0 2 3 6 0 0 0 1 0 4 2 0 2 3 6 09 Joe Dziedzic,F 4 2 0 2 4 8 1 0 0 0 0 4 2 0 2 4 8 21 Mike Muller,D 4 1 1 2 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 4 1 1 2 1 2 1 6 John Bri 11, F 4 1 1 2 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 4 1 1 2 1 2 12 Cory Laylin,F 4 0 2 2 2 12 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 2 2 2 12 20 Jeff Nielsen,W 4 1 0 1 4 8 0 0 0 0 0 4 1 0 1 4 8 19 Justin McHugh,W/C 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 () 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 33 Doug Zmolek,D 4 0 1 l 3 6 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 1 1 3 6 08 Eric Means,D 4 0 1 1 2 4 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 1 1 2 4 31 Jeff Ca1linan,G 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 29 Tom Newrnan,G 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 27 Jed Fieb1ekorn,W 1 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 l 0 0 0 1 2 34 Todd Westlund,W 2 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 2 05 Nick Gerebi,C 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 30 Jeff Stolp, G 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 07 Darby Hendrickson,C 4 0 0 0 s 10 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 5 10 04 Chris McApine,D 4 0 0 0 13 26 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 13 26 02 Sean Fabian,D 4 0 0 0 5 10 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 5 10 Bench 3 6 3 6 ------Minnesota Golden Gop 4 18 26 44 62 148 6 0 0 2 0 4 18 26 44 62 148 OPPONENTS 4 15 21 36 56 133 5 1 0 2 1 4 15 21 36 56 133 OVERALL LEAGUE ONLY 00 GOALIE w L T GP PER MIN ,GA AVG SAV PCT w L T GP PER MIN GA AVG SAV PCT ------31 Jeff Callinan 0 0 0 1 l 7:30 0 0.00 4 1. 000 0 0 0 1 1 7:30 0 0.00 41.000 30 Jeff Stolp 2 l 0 4 10 183:47 9 2.94 64 .877 2 1 0 4 10 183:47 9 2.94 64 .877 29 Tom Newman 0 1 0 1 3 46:31 5 6. 45 16 .762 0 1 0 1 3 46:31 5 6.45 16 .762 ------Minnesota Golden Gophers 2 2 0 4 12 237:48 14 3.53 84 .857 2 2 0 4 12 237:48 14 3.53 84 .857 OPPONENTS 2 2 0 4 12 240:00 18 4.50 108 .857 2 2 0 4 12 240:00 18 4.50 108 .857 Minnesota Golden Gophers OPPONENTS PERIOD 1 2 3 OT TOTAL 1 2 3 OT TOTAL GOALS 3 10 5 0 18 4 6 5 0 15 SHOT ON GOAL 31 43 47 0 12l 38 39 27 0 104 GOALIE SAVES 27 28 29 0 H4 35 38 35 0 108 PENALTIES 23 19 23 0 65 16 19 21 () ')6 - e • BASKETBALL MEDIA DAY SET FOR NOVEMBER S The 1991-92 Golden Gopher basketball media day will be held on Tuesday, November 5, beginning at 2:45 p.m. in the Gold Room at Williams Arena.

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA --· JEW§ Bierman Field Athletic Building 516 15th Avenue Southeast Minneapolis, MN 55455 (612) 625-4090 Fax 625-0359 FOR IMMEDIA1E RELEASE October 28, 1991 BARNES NAMED ASSIST ANT BASKETBALL COACH University of Minnesota Head Basketball Coach Clem Haskins has announced the appointment of Milton Barnes as an assistant basketball coach for the Golden Gophers on an interim basis. The search process for a permanent replacement for AI Brown, who resigned last week to take a similar post at Tennessee, will begin immediately. Barnes, who was as an assistant coach on Haskins' staff during the 1986-87 and 1987-88 seasons, returns to Gold Country after serving as the athletic director/head basketball coach at Albion (Mich.) Public Schools since 1988. Under his direction, Albion finished second at the Michigan State Class B Tournament this past season after claiming league, district and regional titles along the way. He also led the school to the district championship in 1990 and the league and district crowns in 1989. In three seasons at the helm, the school racked up an impressive 65-11 overall record. During the 1985-86 season, Barnes served as the top assistant coach at the University of Detroit. Prior to that, he was an assistant coach at Eastern Michigan (1983-85), part-time assistant coach and head softball coach at Detroit (1982-83), assistant coach at Kent State (1980-82) and volunteer coach at Albion College (1979-80). Barnes charted an outstanding prep basketball career of his own at Saginaw (Mich.) High School, before going on to play four years at Albion College, where he earned a bachelor's degree in physical education in 1979. He is a member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches and the Black Coaches Association. "I'm excited to get Milton back in our program," Haskins said. "We certainly will miss AI, but we're pleased to be able to bring in a coach of Milton's caliber at this time of the year. He will be in charge of our defense and we look forward to having him bring back the intensity that has been lacking for us on the defensive end of the floor." "I'm excited about the opportunity to return to the University of Minnesota," Barnes said. "I've remained close to the program since I was first there and I'm anxious to do my part to help continue to build upon the momentum that Coach Haskins and his staff have established through the years."

The cold winter weather conditions ignited the Gophers offense as they exploded for 14 goals in the two games after scoring only 18 in their first four games. This week the Maroon and Gold have a week off from WCHA action as they renew an old rivalry with the Michigan Wolverines of the CCHA. Michigan was one of the original members of the WCHA and Big Ten Conference but left the WCHA after the 1980-81 season. St. Cloud St. Recap: The Gophers high-powered offense was staned by Hobey Baker Award candidate Larry Olimb (Warroad, MN), who notched four points with two short-handed goals in the Gophers' 7-4 victory over host St. Cloud State on Friday. The Minnesota special teams were clicking as they scored two power play goals and and one of Olimb's short-handed goals in the ft.rst period to jump out to a 3-0 lead. For the weekend the Gophers power play unit was 5-15 for an impressive 33% rate. Other top players in Friday Night's victory were Jeff Nielsen (Grand Rapids, MN), who had a goal and two assists, while All-American candidate Trent Klatt (Osseo, MN) added a goal and an assist of his own. Other players who scored goals were, Steve Magnusson (Dayton, MN), Doug Zmolek (Rochester, MN) and Craig Johnson (St. Paul, MN) also notched a goal a piece in the victory. Home Opener: The Gophers opened up their 1991-92 home slate with an impressive 7-2 come from-behind victory on Saturday night. Minnesota spotted St. Cloud two goals in the frrst period, before turning the rockets on and scoring seven unanswered goals. The Gophers were led by Scott Bell (St. Paul, MN) who had his first career hat trick with two of the goals being of the short-handed variety. Larry Olimb and Travis Richards (Crystal, MN) added power play goals as the Gophers raised their record to 4-2. Steve Magnusson and Darby Hendrickson (Richfield, MN) also found the back of the Huskie net. About the Wolverines: The Michigan Wolverines were a consenus top ftve pick in the national polls this season and were favored to win the CCHA. They returned 18 lettermen from last seasons CCHA runner-up squad, including nine of their top 10 scorers. They are led by wingers Danny Felsner and David Roberts. Felsner scored 40 goals and 35 assists last year and is a Hobey Baker candidate, while Roberts had 26 goals and 45 assists. Last year Michigan was the number three seed in the west for the NCAA playoffs, but they were eliminated in the semifmals by Boston University. Michigan is coached by Red Berenson who has a 141-133-15 record in seven years at the helm. The Series: The Gophers hold a slight edge in the series which stands at 108-95-12 with the most recent meeting between the two teams taking place in 1986 , when the Gophers took a pair of games from the Wolverines at Mariucci Arena and that is the only time the two have met since Doug Woog became head coach. The Minnesota/Michigan hockey tradition is nearly as storied as the grid history. The Gophers have played Michigan more times than any other team, with 215 games between the two schools. John Mariucci's teams were always battling Michigan for the WlliL and later WCHA title. The Wolverines took an NCAA title from the "Maroosh" 7-3, after the Gophers had edged the Wolverines for the WlliL title. From 1951-58 the Wolverines finished no lower than second in the WlliL and notched four NCAA titles in that time span. Overall, Michigan has seven NCAA titles to lead all schools, with Denver, North Dakota and Wisconsin tied for second with five titles. Woog Watch: Head Coach Doug Woog is one game away from becoming the winningest coach in Golden Gopher history. The "Wooger" has an overall mark of 199-76-11 in six+ years and is currently tied with his mentor John Mariucci in total wins. Mariucci had a career mark of 199-137- 18 in his 13 years at the helm of the Gopher program. W oog has the top career winning percentage of any active coach in Division I hockey, with a .715 mark. Woog's winning percentage is not the best in Gopher history. I.D. McDonald (10-1-1,.875) and Emil Iverson (70- 20-13,. 7 43) the frrst two Gopher coaches, both have winning percentages higher than W oog. 1991-92 Minnesota Gophers HOCKEY STATS AFTER 6 GAMES I W-L-T MN OPP OPPONENT ATTEND PLACE & DATE w 7 3 Minnesota-Duluth 5664 Duluth, MN 7:35p.m. 10/18/91 4 7 Minnesota-Duluth 5451 Duluth, MN 7:00 p.m. 10/19/91 2 4 University of Denver 3745 Denver, CO 7:00 p.m 10/25/91 5 1 University of Denver 3106 Denver, CO 7:00 p.m. 10/26/91 ·~w 7 4 St. Cloud State 5567 St. Cloud, MN 7:35 11/01/91 w 7 2 ST.

Powerful Wisconsin: Led by the 1-2-3 finish of Donovan Bergstrom (25:01.3), Jason Casiano (25:04.4) and Jarold Schumacher (25:05.9), fifth-ranked Wisconsin breezed to their seventh straight Big Ten team title. No. 8 Michigan, No. 17 Michigan State and No. 23 Penn State gave the always-tough league four nationally-ranked teams heading into Saturday's competition.

He joined senior Chr1s Schmid (White Bear Lake, Minn.), who finished 73rd in 28:01.8, as the only Golden Gophers with previous experience at the league meet. Senior Sean Fitzgerald (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada), a middle-distance specialist in track, turned in an outstanding performance on Saturday. He was the team's number two finisher, placing 43rd overall with a clocking of 26:35.1. Junior Curt Kotsonas (Chanhassen, Minn.) in 54th with a time of 26:56.9, freshman Mark Gonzales (LaHabra, Calif.) in 59th in 27:10.8 and junior Dan LeCioux (Racine, Wis.) in 72nd place in 28:01.0 rounded out the scoring fivesome for the Golden Gophers. Region 4 Championships: The Golden Gophers will compete at the Region 4 Championships on Saturday, November 16 at Bloomington, Ind.

The players will then be available for interviews/photo's on the Williams Arena floor from 3:30 to 4:00p.m. Practice will begin promptly at 4:00p.m. and the media is invited to shoot action photo's/video at that time. Please contact Assistant SID Marc Ryan at the University of Minnesota Spons Information Office (612- 625-4090) if you plan to attend. Brazil National Team: Head Coach Clem Haskins' squad will open the exhibition season on Saturday at Williams Arena against the Brazil National Team.

The season opener will be against powerful Arkansas in the first round of the Maui Invitational at Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii on Monday, November 25. The home opener at Williams Arena is slated for Saturday, November 30 against Howard at 3:00 p.m. Interview Policy: All requests for player or coach interviews, either in person or via phone, will be arranged by the University of Minnesota Sports Information Department. Please call the Spons Information Office at (612) 625-4090 to schedule interviews, and by allowing at least 24 hours prior notice for the interview, arrangements will be greatly facilitated. In general, player interviews will be conducted prior to practice from 2:00 to 2:45 p.m. in the Gold Room at Williams Arena. If that is not a feasible time, we will arrange an alternative time and location to conduct the interview that suits both parties. Interviews done after practice will not conflict with meetings, training room treatments or other team obligations. Media should understand that practices are not officially concluded until such team obligations are completed. If the interview is to be conducted over the telephone, we will arrange to have the student-athlete call you at a specified time. NO telephone numbers of student-athletes will be made available under any circumstances and the student-athletes are not available to the media on game day until after the conclusion of the game. The first 15 minutes (usually 3:30 to 3:45 p.m.) of practice each Tuesday will be open to the media. Any action photo's/video should be taken at that time. All other practice sessions will be closed.

The Gophers were in the • penalty box more often than not .and the explosive Mi~hi~an J?OWer play unit made ~em pay by scoring seven power play goals m the two games. Michtgan Jumped to early leads m both games leading by 3-1 and 4-1 margins at the end of the ftrst period on five power play goals in the two games. The Gophers and Wolverines were evenly matched in ftve on ftve play, but the Golden Gophers were whistled down for 32 penalties in the two games and the difference was the power play unit of Michigan. The Gophers' penalty killing unit struggled and the power play unit was one for seven on Friday, but rebounded to go four of ten on Saturday. That game had many bright spots for the Maroon and Gold as they battled back to within one goal in the third period and had Michigan reeling, but the Gophers fell short and the many last period chances couldn't make up the four goal advantage the Wolverines enjoyed entering the ftnal period. Michigan Recap: Although the Gophers lost a pair of games they battled hard and there were some positive things of note that happened. Saturday night, freshman Jeff Callinan (Minnetonka, MN) got his first start and gave up seven goals in the loss, but his play was solid and four of the goals came when the Gophers were short-handed. In the third period, he held the Wolverines scoreless and stopped them cold on some breakaway situations. Another positive event in the game was when senior Cory Laylin (St. Cloud, MN) scored his ftrst goal of the year. If the Gophers are to be successful, they must get offensive output from Lay lin on a consistent basis. In addition, Darby Hendrickson (Richfield, MN) continued to improve, scoring two goals and two assists for the series. Meanwhile, All-American candidate Larry Olimb (Warroad, MN) continues to lead the Gophers in scoring. After notching a goal and three assists for the series the "Big 0" has five goals and 13 assists for 18 points. Border Battle: The Golden Gophers can't dwell on the losses at Michigan, because WCHA action returns in a hurry this week when the league-leading Wisconsin Badgers come to town for the "Border Battle." Friday night's game will be at Mariucci Arena at 7:05 and the Saturday event will be played in front of 15,000 at the Met Center in Bloomington with a 7:35 start time. Nestled in between the two will be the Wisconsin/Minnesota grid match at the Metrodome with both teams fighting to stay out of the cellar of the Big Ten. The Wisconsin hockey club is 6-2 and is leading the league with eight points after sweeping the Michigan Tech Huskies in Madison, 3-2 and 4-3 with both games being won in overtime. The Badgers have played all eight of their games in WCHA league play with four of the games played at the Dane County Coliseum. About the Badgers: The Badgers are coached by Jeff Sauer who has a 252-132-17 mark in his lOth season at the helm of the Wisconsin program. A 20-year veteran of the WCHA, Sauer has been Coach of the Year twice, and has won two NCAA Championships for the Badgers. The Badgers finished third in the WCHA last season with a 19-11-2 record and lost to the Gophers 3-2 in the WCHA Tournament in St. Paul. The overall record between the teams stands at 96-58-11 with the edge going to the Gophers. The ftrst game of the series was in 1922 in Madison when I.D. McDonald's Gophers won 3-0. Wisconsin dropped hockey in 1935, but resumed play in 1963 and have been a national power ever since. The strength of the Wisconsin club starts in the goal where senior Duane Derksen returns and is off to a strong start this year. Woog Watch: Head Coach Doug Woog is one game away from becoming the winningest coach in Golden Gopher history. The "Wooger" has an overall mark of 199-7 8-11 in six+ years and is currently tied with his mentor John Mariucci in total wins. Mariucci had a career mark of 199-137- 18 in his 13 years at the helm of the Gopher program. W oog has the top career winning percentage of any active coach in Division I hockey, with a .715 mark. Woog's winning A , percentage is not the best in Gopher history. I.D. McDonald (10-1-1,.875) and Emil Iverson (70- .., 20-13,.743), the first two Gopher coaches, both have winning percentages higher than Woog. 1991-92 Minnesota Gophers HOCKEY STATS AFTER 8 GAMES W-L-T MN OPP OPPONENT ATI'END PLACE & DATE w 7 3 Minnesota-Duluth 5664 Duluth, MN 7:35p.m. 10/18/91 L 4 7 Minnesota-Duluth 5451 Duluth, MN 7:00 p.m. 10/19/91 L 2 4 University of Denver 3745 Denver, CO 7:00 p.m 10/25/91 w 5 1 University of Denver 3106 Denver, CO 7:00 p.m. 10/26/91 w 7 4 St. Cloud State 5567 St. Cloud, MN 7:35 11/01/91 w 7 2 ST.

BASKETBALL TEAM NARROWLY DEFEATS BRAZIL RIPASA; ATHLETES IN ACTION UP NEXT Behind 13 points apiece from junior captain Dana Jackson (Chicago) and freshman Voshon Lenard (Detroit), the Golden Gopher basketball team scored a tough 67-66 exhibition game victory over Brazil Ripasa on Saturday before 13,303 at Williams Arena. Freshman Jayson Walton (Dallas) also scored in double figures with 10 points on the night. Head Coach Clem Haskins, who used 11 different players in the contest, saw his young club rally from a deficit that reached nine points with just over 16 minutes remaining. Brazil had the ball and the opponunity to win the game in the closing seconds, but junior Nate Tubbs (Fort Wayne, Ind.) blocked Wagner Machado's shot as time expired. Coach Haskins Says: "First of all, I really want to thank all the fans for coming out this early in the season. It's one of the reasons we were able to win at the end. I'm really pleased with the play of Ryan Wolf (Fr., Martinsville, Ind.) and Jayson Walton, both of whom are really quality players. Dana Jackson got off to a nice stan. I was very happy to see that because he worked so hard over the summer. Voshon Lenard is really a player and he'll see more minutes as the season goes along." Looking Ahead: The Golden Gophers will host Athletes in Action on Monday, November 18 at 7:00 p.m. at Williams Arena in their final exhibition contest. The season opener will be against powerful Arkansas in the first round of the Maui Invitational at Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii on Monday, November 25. The home opener at Williams Arena is slated for Saturday, November 30 against Howard at 3:00 p.m. DOUBLES PAIR TAKE ROLEX QUALIFIER Senior captain Brian Uihlein (Lake Forest, Ill.) and sophomore Adam Krafft (Saginaw, Mich.) defeated Bryan Nelson and Joey Deer of Wisconsin in straight sets to capture the championship at the Rolex Midwest Men's Intercollegiate Tennis Championships held in Madison, Wise. Uihlein and Krafft defeated the Badger pair, 7-5,6-3 to earn an automatic berth in next February's Rolex Indoor Intercollegiate Championships. The Rolex tournament is one of college tennis' grand slam events and is held each year at the 98th Street Racquet Club in Bloomington and the Crosstown club in Edina. Minnesota coach David Geatz was pleased to see his number one pair demonstrate the same form that carried them to a 16-3 record last season. "Brian and Adam are one of the nation's premier doubles combinations," Geatz said. "They've begun this season right where they left off and that's going to mean a lot to us down the line." Next up for Coach Geatz and the Golden Gophers is a trip to Jamaica for the Ciboney NCAA Invitational. The team leaves Monday ( 11/11/91) for the sunshine and will begin play Wednesday through Sunday. Match-by-Match Results for Uihlein/Krafft: 1st Round: def.

"My decision to leave the University of Minnesota has been a difficult one to make," Hunter said, "and I do so with mixed emotions. I have enjoyed my two years at Minnesota, but the opportunities available to me with Denver are too great to pass up."

It was an area of expertise which he put to excellent use with the Golden Gophers while generating over $2,000,000 annually, and he will take a varied background in many levels of athletic competition with him to Denver. A native of Kansas, Hunter won letters in track at KU and competed in both the 800 meters and 1,500 meters before receiving his B.S. degree in 1986.

While a graduate student at KU, Hunter held a commercial real estate internship with a development company in Kansas City.

"Shawn has done an outstanding job representing the men's athletic department," Interim Director of Athletics Dan Meinert said. "Our department was better because of his involvement and commitment to our student-athletes and coaches. We wish him the very best in his new position."

Head Coach Doug Woog reached a milestone on Friday night at Mariucci Arena when the Gophers came from behind to win 5-4. With that win, Woog became the all-time win leader at Minnesota, surpassing the record of his coach and mentor, the late John Mariucci, who had a career record of 199-137-18. Woog's charges set another milestone on Saturday night as the Golden Gophers defeated the Badgers 4-1 in front of a WCHA and NCAA regular-season record crowd of 15,712 at the Met Center in Bloomington. Border Battle Recap: The Gophers raised their record to 6-2 in the WCHA and 6-4 overall, good for a tie for first-place in the WCHA. The victories were like all Minnesota/Wisconsin affairs, hard fought battles filled with emotion. The Badgers jumped out to a 2-0 lead on Friday night as the Gophers penalty woes continued. The Gophers have been whistled down 56 times in the first period this year compared to 40 times for their opponents. The Gophers battled back from that deficit to tie the game in the second period on the first of Trent Klatt's (Osseo, MN) three goals. The Gophers took a 5-2 lead on the strength of Klatt's three goals, while Cory Laylin (St. Cloud, MN) and Darby Hendrickson (Richfield, MN) each added a goal to pace the Gophers. Live at the Met: The Gophers and Badgers took to the ice in front of a standing-room only crowd on Saturday night at the Met Center. The crowd set an WCHA and NCAA regular-season attendance record, surpassing the record of 15,684 set last year when Michigan and Michigan State squared off at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit The Gophers scored twice in the opening period with the Grand Rapids, MN connection of Jeff Nielsen and John Brill getting the goals. The Badgers tallied one goal in the period before senior AU-American candidate Jeff Stolp (Nashwauk, MN) shut the door on them for the night. For the weekend, Stolp gave up only five goals and raised his record to 6-2 for the year with a 3.30 GAA. Trent Klatt and Travis Richards (Plymouth, MN) also tallied goals as the Gophers cruised to a 4-1 win. Gophers travel to Alaska to Battle Seawolves: The Golden Gophers travel to Alaska Anchorage this weekend to play a pair of non-conference games against the Sea wolves. The Sea wolves are coming off a successful season a year ago when they advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals before being eliminated by the eventual NCAA champion Northern Michigan Wildcats in Marquette, MI. The Seawolves are coached by Kelvin Christiansen who has a 207-141-17 record in his 12 years at the helm. Anchorage returns seven of their top ten scorers from last season. They also return veteran goalie Paul Krake who played in 37 games last year, including the Sea wolves' stunning two-game upset of Boston College in Boston. With 12 seniors in the lineup, the Seawolves are a veteran team with NCAA post-season experience and a tough one to beat in their own building. Sullivan Arena (6,290) is a beautiful building, featuring an Olympic-sized ice sheet and many other amenities. The Series: The Gophers and Sea wolves have met four times, with the Gophers holding a 3-1 edge in the series. The last game between the teams was February 3, 1990 when the Seawolves upset the Gophers 4-3 in overtime at Mariucci Arena. The Gophers have played in Sullivan Arena only once, on December 21, 1986 when the Maroon and Gold took home the championship trophy in the Jeep Nissan Classic hockey tournament by defeating the Sea wolves 5-1. Broadcast Notes: The Gophers/Alaska-Anchorage series will be broadcast on KFAN 1130 AM live from Anchorage on Friday and Saturday nights. The games will start at 10:05 p.m. (CST). Veteran announcers Greg Harrington and Doug Johnson will bring you all of the action on the FAN. WCHA Action: The Gophers will resume WCHA action on November 29-30, against the North Dakota Fighting Sioux in a two-game series at Mariucci Arena that has both games slated for 7:05 p.m. (CST) starts. 1991-92 Minnesota Gophers HOCKEY STATS AFTER 10 GAMES ~ W-L-T MN OPP OPPONENT ATTEND PLACE & DATE w 7 3 Minnesota-Duluth 5664 Duluth, MN 7:35 p.m. 10/18/91 L 4 7 Minnesota-Duluth 5451 Duluth, MN 7:00 p.m. 10/19/91 e L 2 4 University of Denver 3745 Denver, CO 7:00 p.m 10/25/91 w 5 1 University of Denver 3106 Denver, CO 7:00 p.m. 10/26/91 w 7 4 St. Cloud State 5567 St. Cloud, MN 7:35 11/01/91 w 7 2 ST.

Looking Back: Behind 13 points apiece from junior captain Dana Jackson (Chicago) and freshman Voshon Lenard (Detroit), the Golden Gophers scored a tough 67-66 exhibition game victory over Brazil Ripasa on November 9 before 13,303 at Williams Arena. Freshman Jayson Walton (Dallas) also scored in double figures with 10 points on the night. Head Coach Clem Haskins, who used 11 different players in the contest, saw his young club rally from a deficit that reached nine points with just over 16 minutes remaining. Brazil had the ball and the opportunity to win the game in the closing seconds, but junior Nate Tubbs (Fort Wayne, Ind.) blocked Wagner Machado's shot as time expired. Coach Haskins Says: "First of all, I really want to thank all the fans for coming out this early in the season. It's one of the reasons we were able to win at the end. I'm really pleased with the play of Ryan Wolf (Fr., Martinsville, Ind.) and Jayson Walton, both of whom are really quality players. Dana Jackson got off to a nice start I was very happy to see that because he worked so hard over the summer. Voshon Lenard is really a player and he11 see more minutes as the season goes along." Looking Ahead: The 1991-92 season opener for the Golden Gophers will be against powerful Arkansas in the first round of the Maui Invitational at Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii on Monday, November 25. Game time is at 3:30 p.m. (Central) and it will be televised live on ESPN. The home opener at Williams Arena is slated for Saturday, November 30 against Howard at 3:00p.m. Interview Policy: All requests for player or coach interviews, either in person or via phone, will be arranged by the University of Minnesota Sports Information Department. Please call the Sports Information Office at (612) 625-4090 to schedule interviews, and by allowing at least 24 hours prior notice for the interview, arrangements will be greatly facilitated. In general, player interviews will be conducted prior to practice from 2:00 to 2:45p.m. in the Gold Room at Williams Arena If that is not a feasible time, we will arrange an alternative time and location to conduct the interview that suits both parties. Interviews done after practice will not conflict with meetings, training room treatments or other team obligations. Media should understand that practices are not officially concluded until such team obligations are completed. If the interview is to be conducted over the telephone, we will arrange to have the student-athlete call you at a specified time. NO telephone numbers of student-athletes will be made available under any circumstances and the student-athletes are not available to the media on game day until after the conclusion of the game. The first 15 minutes (usually 3:30 to 3:45 p.m.) of practice each Tuesday will be open to the media. Any action photo's/video should be taken at that time. All other practice sessions will be closed. GATES HEADS TO NEW YORK FOR GOLDEN SPIKES AWARD CEREMONIES All-American shortstop Brent Gates (Grandville, Mich.) and Golden Gopher Head Baseball Coach John Anderson will be in New York on Wednesday for the presentation of the prestigious Golden Spikes Award.

The 5-10, 170-pound center has been instrumental in the success of the Roseville program. He has been a varsity player for Roseville since his freshman year. Last season Dustin notched 21 goals and 32 assists for 53 points. "Bobby is a very exciting player who has great hockey sense and has the natural ability to find the net," said Woog. "He has great hands and eyes and he will add some spark to our lineup." "I'm relieved to sign early so I can concentrate on my senior season and getting our team to the state tournament, " said Dustin. "I feel great about signing with Minnesota and becoming a part of Coach Woog's program." Prior to the start of the high school season, Dustin has been playing for the St. Paul Vulcans. In 12 games for the Vulcans, he has scored seven goals and eight assists. Dustin is the last Minnesota signee of the early signing period.

The Golden Gophers are 2-8 heading into the finale against the Hawkeyes. Gutekunst's record as Minnesota's head coach going into the Iowa game is 29-36-2, but he had four winning seasons in six years. His best regular-season marks were 6-5 in 1986, 1987, 1989 and 1990. He was 1-1 in bowl appearances, beating Clemson in the 1985 Independence Bowl and losing to Tennessee in the 1986 Liberty Bowl. Gutekunst , 46, came to Minnesota as Lou Holtz's defensive coordinator in 1984. He ·took over as head coach in time for the Independence Bowl in 1985 when Holtz departed for Notre Dame. Prior to coming to Minnesota, Gutekunst was on the staff at Virginia Tech from 1979 to 1983, and he functioned as that team's defensive coordinator during his final three campaigns there. A native of Sellersville, PA, and a 1966 graduate of Duke where he competed in both baseball and football, Gutekunst was on his alma mater's coaching staff for 12 years before moving over to Virginia Tech. Dan Meinen, interim director of athletics at the University of Minnesota, indicated that a search for Gutekunst's successor would begin immediately, but the new coach would not be appointed until the new director of athletics has been named. The application deadline for the director's position was November 15. The search committee hopes to have a recommendation to the president by mid-December. "We plan to maintain contacts with potential football recruits who have expressed an interest in the University of Minnesota," Meinen said. "This is a crucial time in the recruiting process and we want to make certain potential student-athletes and their families are kept up to date as we seek our head football coach." -UM- ***************************************************************************·~· TilE OFFICIAL STATEl\1ENT FROM TilE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA IS ATTACHED STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT NILS HASSELMO CONCERNING THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA FOOTBALL PROGRAM After a series of discussions with John Gutekunst, I have accepted his resignation as coach of the University of Minnesota football team. The resignation will be effective Jan. 1, 1992. I discussed his resignation with John and with Men's Athletic Director Dan Meinert and Dean Robert Stein, the men's faculty representative to the Big Ten Conference, and others. On the basis of those dicussions, I decided to accept John's resignation. I agreed to this action with appreciation for John's dedication to the University and with appreciation for what he has contributed to Gopher athletics. The best I can do in summarizing the reasons for this action is simply to say that the time comes when new leadership is needed. This is not because the old leadership is bad but because new leadership can bring new perspective, new opportunities and new energy to un enterprise. John Gutekunst is a fine man. He has demonstrated his concern for the players, for their education as well as their development as athletes. He has played by the rules, and he has given us some exciting moments on the field. I want to express my own and the University's appreciation to Coach Gutekunst for his contributions to the football program. I know of no reason why the University of Minnesota should not be one of the best universities in the nation in football as it is, and strives to be, in all its academic activities. I am committed to a course of action that will produce excellence in athletics as well as academics. As we undertake our search for a new head football coach, we will focus on the three basic requirements that we have established for our athletic programs and that were all considered in the review of the football program: educating our student-athletes, playing by the rules, and fielding competitive teams. All three components are essential and none can stand alone. 11/21/91 • UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA JEW§ • Biennan Field Athletic Building 516 15th A venue Southeast Minneapolis.

Tough Field: The Maui Invitational has once again attracted a star-studded field led by Arkansas, rated No.3 in the AP poll, and No. 24 Arizona State. Arkansas, Arizona State and Michigan State all qualified for the 1991 NCAA Tournament, while Providence and Rice played in the NIT. Since the tournament's inception in 1984, there have been 62 institutions that have reached the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 field, 31 have reached the Elite Eight, 16 the Final Four, nine teams have made it to th~ championship game and six teams (Indiana, Kansas, Louisville, Michigan, UNL V and Villanova) have won national championships. Scouting Arkansas: No.3 Arkansas is moving into the Southeastern Conference this season and Head Coach Nolan Richardson's talent-laden squad appears to be more than capable of • handling the challenge. Four starters and five other lettermen return from the team that racked up an impressive 34-4 overall mark and reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament a year ago. Seven of those returning lettermen were members of the 30-5 team that advanced to the 1990 Final Four. Superstar guard Todd Day, Roosevelt Wallace, Darrell Hawkins and Elmer Martin, however, are suspended and will not play in the Maui Invitational. But the cupboard is hardly bare for the Razorbacks. Leading the way in Maui will be a trio of seniors: Lee Mayberry, Isaiah Morris and Oliver Miller. Mayberry (13.2 ppg) is a 6-2 silky, smooth guard with unlimited range, who already owns the school career, single season and single game records for assists. A force in the paint, Miller, a 6-9, 290-pound center, averaged 15.7 points and 7.7 rebounds a game last season. He also led the nation in field goal percentage with a sparkling mark of .704. Morris, a 6-8, 228-pound forward, is an exceptional all-around athlete. He started 25 games last season and averaged 7.5 points and 4.1 rebounds a contest. Season Openers: The University of Minnesota has registered an overall record of 71-25 (.740) in season openers through 96 seasons of intercollegiate basketball competition. Golden Gopher Head Coach Clem Haskins is 2-3 in season openers at Minnesota. Golden Gophers vs. the Rest of the Maui Invitational Field: Arizona State: Series tied 1-1 Michigan State: Minnesota leads 45-34 Rice:Riceleads 1-0 Chaminade, Lamar, Providence: 0-0 Golden Gophers in Hawaii: This will be the third time in history that the University of Minnesota basketball program has journeyed to Hawaii and the Golden Gophers have recorded a 4-2 overall mark on their previous two trips. During the 1971-72 season, the Golden Gophers played in the Rainbow Classic in Honolulu, falling 60-57 to Temple in the first round, before bouncing back with victories over Hawaii-Marines (86-71) and TCU (83-57). In 1985-86, the Golden Gophers defeated West Virginia State 120-106, lost to Middle Tennessee State 92-79 and then topped Brigham Young-Hawaii 87-80 in the BYU-Hawaii Classic in Laie. Frequent Flyer Miles: The eight schools participating in the 1991 Maui Invitational will fly a combined 67,000 miles round trip for the three-day event. Youth Prevails: The Golden Gophers' roster has eight freshmen, five sophomores, two juniors and one senior. Looking Back: Minnesota split a pair of exhibition games this season. On Monday, November 18, Athletes in Action, behind 42 points from former NBA guard Lorenzo Romar, came away with an exciting 100-93 overtime victory over the Golden Gophers before 11,758 at Williams Arena. Freshman Voshon Lenard led the Golden Gophers with 20 points, followed by sophomore Randy Carter with 15 points. Junior captain Dana Jackson collected an offensive rebound and then scored as time ran out in regulation play to send the game into the extra session. Behind 13 points apiece from Jackson and Lenard, the Golden Gophers scored a tough 67-66 exhibition game victory over Brazil Ripasa on November 9 before 13,303 at Williams Arena. Freshman Jayson Walton (Dallas, Texas) also scored in double figures with 10 points on the night. Coach Haskins, who used 11 different players in the contest, saw his young club rally from a deficit that reached nine points with just over 16 minutes remaining. Brazil had the ball and the opponunity to win the game in the closing seconds, but junior Nate Tubbs (Fort Wayne, Ind.) blocked Wagner Machado's shot as time expired. · el Coach Haskins: Entering his sixth season at the helm, Head Coach Clem Haskins has been the chief architect behind the resurgence of the Golden Gopher basketball program. After two rebuilding seasons, he directed the program to national prominence with back-to-back storybook runs through the NCAA Tournament in 1989 (Sweet Sixteen) and 1990 (Elite Eight). This past • July he coached the North squad to an unbeaten record and the gold medal at the U.S. Olympic Festival in Los Angeles. Known as "Clem the Gem," he was a consensus All-America choice, and is still recognized as one of the most dominant players to ever play in the Ohio Valley Conference, after chatting a standout collegiate career at Western Kentucky. The third player selected in the NBA draft, he went on to play nine outstanding seasons with the Chicago Bulls (1967-70), Phoenix Suns (1970-74) and Washington Bullets (1974-76). He was named to the head job at Minnesota on April2, 1986, after six outstanding seasons as head coach at his alma mater, where he led the Hilltoppers to two NCAA Tournaments and one NIT appearance. Coach Haskins has recorded a 73-74 overall record at Minnesota, including a 54-37 mark the past three seasons. He has a 174-147 overall record in 11 season. Carter & McDonald Shine: Randy Carter and Arriel McDonald distinguished themselves as two of the fmest rookie players in the Big Ten last season. Carter, a 6-8 forward, ranked first on the team in rebounding (5.9) and third in scoring (9.6) during his first season in Gold Country. McDonald, a 6-2 guard, finished as the team leader in assists (4.5) and was fourth in scoring (9.3). Winter Signs With Minnesota: Trevor Winter, a 7-foot, 245-pound center from Slayton (Minn.) High School, has signed a national basketball letter of intent to attend the University of Minnesota. He averaged 22.4 points, 12.0 rebounds and 5.0 blocks a contest last season for Slayton which fmished with an overall 13-10 record. An All-Red Rock Conference choice and an honorable mention all-state selection following his junior season, he was invited to the prestigious NIKE Camp this past summer which included many of the nation's finest prep players and was also a member of the Minnesota Select Team. An outstanding all-around athlete, he is a first baseman on the school's baseball squad where he hit a sparkling .375 at the plate as a junior. He is also one of the top students in his senior class. "It's great to have Trevor become a part of our family here at the University of Minnesota," said Coach Haskins. "He will be a welcome addition to our program and he exemplifies everything you look for in a student-athlete." Looking Ahead: The Golden Gophers will play their home opener this Saturday when they host Howard at 3:00p.m. at Williams Arena. Head Coach Butch Beard's squad returns seven letterwinners from 1990-91 when the Bison registered an 8-20 overall record. Headlining the returnees is 6-6 senior forward Juluis McNeil who averaged 11.3 points and 3.4 rebounds last season. Saturday's contest marks the first time that the two schools have met on the basketball court. Williams Arena: The Golden Gophers have become very tough to beat at home in front of their loyal home fans. They have registered an impressive 36-11 record (.766) over the past three seasons within the hallowed walls of Williams Arena.

GOPHERS WIN TWO GAMES AT ALASKA-ANCHORAGE; HOST NORTH DAKOTA • FIGHTING SIOUX THIS WEEKEND AT MARIUCCI ARENA The University of Minnesota ice hockey team took a pair of games from the Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves this past weekend 4-0, 3-2 (OT). The Golden Gophers, 8-4 (6-2 in WCHA), return to WCHA action this weekend at Mariucci Arena when the North Dakota Fighting Sioux come to town. Alaska-Recap: The Gophers traveled three time zones away to play the Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves in non-conference action. The Seawolves came into the series with an unblemished 6-0 record. On Friday night, the Gophers jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period and never looked back, as they shutout the Seawolves 4-0. All-American candidate Jeff Stolp (Nashwauk, MN) posted the third shutout of his career stopping 33 shots. Stolp has now lowered his GAA to 2.93 overall. The Gophers were led in scoring by Freshman of the Year candidate Darby Hendrickson (Richfield, MN), who notched two goals and an assist in the game. Craig Johnson had the opening goal and eventual game winner on a frrst period power play, while pre-season All-American Larry Olimb (Warroad, MN) had two assists. The shutout was the frrst ever by a collegiate team at Sullivan Arena On Saturday the script was ve!Y similar as the Gophers jumped on top, 2-0, at the end of one period. Sophomore Joe Dzaedzic (Manneapolis, MN) opened the scoring with his third goal of the year. Jeff Nielsen (Grand Rapids, MN) then banged home his sixth goal of the year at the 13:53 mark. That's when the script changed as the Sea wolves assaulted freshman goalie Jeff Callinan (Minnetonka, MN) with 22 shots in the first two periods. Callinan hung tough but gave up two goals, the tying goal on a controversial call when the puck went into the net as it was being knocked from its moorings by a Seawolves player. The Gophers' defense shut down Alaska in the third period, holding them to three shots on goal while they peppered Seawolf goalie Paul Krake with 11 shots. Krake hdd the Gophers at bay and forced an overtime period. At 3:50 of the extra period, All-American candidate Travis Richards (Plymouth, MN) set Darby Hendrickson up on a breakaway. Krake came out to cut down the angle. As the two players collided, the puck popped over Krake and into the net, giving the Gophers the victory and their fourth straight victory. Sioux Review: The North Dakota Fighting Sioux's season has been an up and down one already. They opened with three victories and five in their first six games. They followed that with four consecutive road losses to fall to sixth-place in the WCHA. Last weekend, they returned home to play a strong Michigan Tech team, and swept the series 6-1,5-2. The Sioux are led offensively by All-American Greg Johnson who has six goals and 20 assists already this season. North Dakota has three of the top five scorers in the league in Johnson, Dixon Ward (11-12=23) and Jeff McLean (10-17=27). Their problem has been on defense, where they have given up 4.6 goals per game. Chief of the Sioux: Gino Gasparini has been at the helm of the North Dakota hockey program for 14 seasons. His career record stands at 359-184-19, with three NCAA titles and three WCHA titles under his belt. A former Sioux lenerwinner, he has built the program into one of the finest in the country. Their patented late-season runs on the league title are well known. If he can get this unit playing solid defense they will be in the thick of things come March. Woog against North Dakota: Last year ,the Gophers won three of four from the Sioux. The Gophers' 13-game winning streak was halted in Grand Forks by a score of 6-1. The following night the Maroon and Gold rebounded for a 6-3 victory to gain the split. Last February at Mariucci Arena the Gophers overwhelmed the Sioux 4-1, 11-5 in the final games of the regular season. Doug W oog has an impressive 11-2 record at Mariucci against North Dakota, with a 17-10 record overall against them. Broadcast Schedule: The Friday night game will be telecast on KITN-FOX 29 with Frank Mazzocco and Wally Shaver, while Saturday's game will be telecast on MSC with Doug McLeod and Dick Bremer calling the action.

Smith earned All-American honors on the one and three-meter diving events and has been a multiple finalist at the Junior Olympic National Championships. In addition he also was a Senior National qualifier on the one, three and ten meter boards this past summer. "Nathan is a very well rounded and talented athlete," says Head Diving Coach Doug Shaffer. "I feel he is Minnesota's most prominent male recruit, and he should help us contend for the Big Ten Championship throughout his four-year career." ' . GOLDEN GOPHER GRAPPLERS ENJOY SUCCESSFUL WEEKEND Last weekend Coach J Robinson split his wrestling contingent sending some to the University of Nebraska-Omaha Open, while another group traveled to St. Louis Community College in • Missouri.

Paulsen is a two-time state champ, a junior national champion and is currently battling two other wrestlers for a spot in the United States Olympic Team for this Summer's games. Also committing to Minnesota was Zack Taylor (Sandpoint, Idaho). Taylor, who will likely wrestle at 167 or higher, is a two-time state champion and posted a 93-3 prep record. Robinson was able to keep another in-state prospect home when he inked Simley High's Nick Halverson. Halverson, a 158-pound prospect, was runner-up at last year's Minnesota State High School Championships. ROBINSON ON HIS SIGNEES: "It's not just important to get the number one recruiting class, but to put quality individuals back to back," Coach J Robinson said. "This is our third such class in a row. In many ways it's the same as the number one class we brought in last year-- just not as many." "The quality of these athletes, alone, puts us where we want to be nationally," Robinson added. "Each of these young men has a great attitude, both athletically and academically."

A year ago Minnesota brought in the nation's top recruiting class, and appears on a similar track with this group of early signers. "It's not just important to get the number one recruiting class, but to put quality individuals back to back," Coach J Robinson said. "This is our third such class in a row. In many ways it's the same as the number one class we brought in last year-- just not as many." Robinson's recruits include two of the state's top-flight wrestlers, while the other comes to Gold Country all the way from Sandpoint, Idaho. Brandon Paulsen, of Anoka, has signed a national letter of intent to attend the University next year. Paulsen, considered to be one of the best lightweights the state has ever produced, has charted a 105-8-1 prep record -- all eight of his losses came during his freshman season. His mat resume includes a fifth place fmish at the Pan-Am Games as a member of the U.S. delegation at the tender age of 16. Paulsen, who is a two-time state champion, is one of three fmalists competing for a spot on this summer's United States Olympic team. In 1991, Paulsen became the first high school wrestler ever selected as a member of 1EAM USA. His achievements include three Espoir national championships, two Olympic Festival Gold medals and five Junior National All-America certificates. Joining Paulsen as the other Minnesotan to sign with the Golden Gophers is Sirnley High School's Nick Halverson. Halverson was a runner-up at last year's state high school tournament, the third year in a row he has done so. He begins his final prep campaign with a 43-1-1 record, while earning First Team Academic AU-State honors. Halverson has also wrestled with Minnesota's Junior National team for two years, and was a member of the USA Exchange team that travelled to Germany. Zack Taylor (Sandpoint, Idaho), the team's first out-of-state signee this year, is a two-time Idaho High School state champion. Taylor has compiled a three-year prep record of 93-3 and recently won a silver medal at the Cadet Worlds. He is expected to wrestle at 167 pounds or heavier next season for the Gophers. "The quality of these athletes, alone, puts us where we want to be nationally," Robinson added. "Each of of these young men has a great attitude, both athletically and academically." -30- UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA lEW§ Biennan Field Athletic Building 516 15th Avenue Southea't :'vlinneapolis.

Scouting Youngstown State: After opening with wins over Messiah (54-53) and Dyke (72- 49), Youngstown State dropped to 2-1 on the season after Ohio University topped the host Penguins 72-62 at the Beeghly Center on Saturday. Jerome Sims, a 6-6 junior forward, led the way for Head Coach John Stroia's club with 15 points and a game-high 16 rebounds. Through three games, Bob Fick, a 6-8, 225-pound senior center, leads the team in scoring with an average of 12.3 points a game. Ray Ellington, a 6-2, 230-pound senior guard who is an ex-Penguin football standout and an excellent all-around athlete, and Sims are next at 11.3 points an outing. Sims leads the team in rebounding with an impressive average of 12.7. In his third season as head coach, Stroia has registered an overall record of 22-37 heading into Monday's game. The Series: Minnesota holds a 3-0 edge in the all-time series with Youngstown State, including a 95-77 victory at Youngstown last January. Williams Arena: The Golden Gophers have become very tough to beat at home in front of their loyal home fans. They have registered an impressive 37-11 record (.771) over the past three-plus seasons within the hallowed walls of Williams Arena. Impressive Start: Head Coach Clem Haskins' young Golden Gopher squad served notice that they will be a tough team to contend with in the 1991-92 season by taking two of three games at the prestigious Maui Invitational, and then scoring a 41-point victory over Howard in the home opener at Williams Arena on Saturday. The Golden Gophers led No.2 Arkansas 54-49 with 12:18 to play in Monday's opening round of the Maui Invitational, before the experienced and talent-laden Razorbacks, who will play in the Southeastern Conference this season, went on a 14-0 run over the next 3:56 of play to take a 63-54 advantage en route to the 92-83 victory. Randy Carter led the Golden Gophers with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Behind 20 points and seven assists from Voshon Lenard, the Golden Gophers stormed back on Tuesday to take an 89-82 victory over Big East Conference foe Providence. Bob Martin scored a career-high 15 points on a perfect seven of seven shooting day from the field, while sophomore guard Townsend Orr (Dolton, Dl.) came off the bench to score a career-high 12 points on an equally sizzling four of four shooting from the floor. The Golden Gophers turned up the defensive heat in Wednesday's consolation championship game against No. 25 Arizona State of the Pac-10 Conference to score a convincing 69-37 victory. They held the Sun Devils to 27 percent (15 of 55) shooting from the field in the game and the 37 points allowed is a new Maui Invitational record. The previous low came in 1988 when Memphis State defeated Chaminade 88-44. All 12 players suited up for the game scored, led by 10 points apiece from Carter and Martin. Freshman forward/guard Jayson Walton (Dallas) collected a game-high nine rebounds in the victory. The Golden Gophers • bolted out to a 9-0 advantage in the home opener in front of 12,923 at Williams Arena on Saturday and never looked back en route to an easy 95-54 victory over Howard. Five players scored in double figures in the contest. Despite playing just 14 minutes, Carter registered 17 points and collected eight rebounds, both game-highs, to lead the way. He was joined in double figures by Lenard with 15, sophomore Ernest Nzigamasabo (Bujumbura, Burundi • Africa) with 13, Martin with 11 and freshman Chad Kolander (Owatonna, Minn.) with 10 points. All 13 players suited up for the game played and scored. Big Victory Margin: The 41-point margin of victory over Howard on Saturday was the largest margin of victory for the Golden Gophers since a 116-48 trouncing of Rider at Williams Arena back on January 3, 1990. Coach Haskins Says: "We went into the (Maui Invitational) tournament with a lot of question marks and I think we learned some things about ourselves. We won two of three games and we really got a lot out of the tournament It was a great experience for our young ballclub." "I feel real good about being 3-1 at this point Howard played hard and tried hard, but it was a game we should have won and we did. We've played very well on the defensive end of the floor and I'm especially pleased about that." Big Man In The Middle: Bob Martin played three consecutive outstanding games for the Golden Gophers at the Maui Invitational and then continued to shine in the home opener against Howard. He has scored in double figures in all four games and held his own in the opener of the Maui Invitational against Oliver Miller, the highly-regarded Arkansas center. Miller scored just two points in the first half, but finished with a game-high 23 points and took control underneath only after Martin got into foul trouble in the second half and eventually fouled out of the contest. Through four games, Martin is ranked third on the team in scoring (11.8 ppg), second in rebounding (6.0 rpg) and is the team leader in blocks (3.0 bpg). He is shooting a sparkling 67.9 percent (19 of 28) from the floor. He is ranked fifth on the all-time school career blocks list with 96 and is closing in on Mychal Thompson who is fourth with 102. "Bob Martin really came of age in this tournament," said Coach Haskins following the victory over Arizona State in the Maui Invitational finale. "He really matured as a player here and that's one of the biggest things we'll take back with us." Great Balance: In the 69-37 victory over Arizona State on Wednesday, all 12 Golden Gopher players suited up for the game played ... and scored. The Golden Gophers did one better than that against Howard on Saturday when all 13 players suited for the contest accomplished the feat. In the victory over Providence, 10 of 11 players that got into the contest scored, while in the loss to Arkansas, 11 played and a perfect 11 found their way into the scoring column. Through four games, 10 players are averaging at least five points, two rebounds and 12 minutes a game. Defense-Defense: The Golden Gophers have really cranked up the defensive pressure this season. At the Maui Invitational they came away with the tournament record for fewest points allowed in the 69-37 win over Arizona State, which included only 15 Sun Devil points in the first 20 minutes of play. In Saturday's 95-54 win over Howard, the Bison didn't get on the scoreboard until 3:21 had elapsed in the contest and they became the third straight opponent to shoot less than 39 percent against the Golden Gophers. Through four games, Golden Gopher opponents are shooting just 36.1 percent (90 of 249) from the field. Getting The Range Down: The Golden Gophers shot above 50 percent in the back-to-back victories over Providence (30 of 55; 54.5 percent) and Arizona State (30 of 56, 53.4 percent) ... something they failed to do through all of last season. In fact, Haskins' youthful squad shot at or above the 50 percent mark in just five of 28 games a year ago. The last consecutive games at or above 50 percent were in the 1990 NCAA Tournament against Northern Iowa (30 of 59, 50.8 percent), Syracuse (33 of 56, 58.9 percent) and Georgia Tech (29 of 56, 51.8 percent). Tough Field: The Maui Invitational once again attracted a star-studded field led by Arkansas, rated No.2 in the AP poll, and No. 25 Arizona State. Arkansas, Arizona State and eventual Maui champion Michigan State all qualified for the 1991 NCAA Tournament, while Providence and Rice played in the NIT. Since the tournament's inception in 1984, there have been 62 institutions that have reached the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 field, 31 have reached the Elite Eight, 16 the Final Four, nine teams have made it to the championship game and six teams (Indiana, Kansas, Louisville, Michigan, UNL V and Villanova) have won national championships. In other words, keep your eye on some of these teams when March Madness rolls around. Golden Gophers in Hawaii: The Maui Invitational marked the third time in history that the University of Minnesota basketball program had journeyed to Hawaii and the Golden Gophers have now recorded a 6-3 overall mark in paradise. During the 1971-72 season, the Golden Gophers played in the Rainbow Classic in Honolulu, falling 60-57 to Temple in the ftrst round, before bouncing back with victories over Hawaii-Marines (86-71) and TCU (83-57). In 1985-86, the Golden Gophers defeated West Virginia State 120-106, lost to Middle Tennessee State 92-79 and then topped Brigham Young-Hawaii 87-80 in the BYU-Hawaii Classic in Laie. Coa~h Haskins: In his sixth season at the helm, Head Coach Oem Haskins has been the chief architect behind the resurgence of the Golden Gopher basketball program. After two rebuilding seasons, he directed the program to national prominence with back-to-back storybook runs through the NCAA Tournament in 1989 (Sweet Sixteen) and 1990 (Elite Eight). This past July he coached the North squad to an unbeaten record and the gold medal at the U.S. Olympic Festival in Los Angeles. Known as "Clem the Gem," he was a consensus All-America choice, and is still recognized as one of the most dominant players to ever play in the Ohio Valley Conference, after charting a standout collegiate career at Western Kentucky. The third player selected in the NBA draft, he went on to play nine outstanding seasons with the Chicago Bulls (1967-70), Phoenix Suns (1970-74) and Washington Bullets (1974-76). He was named to the head job at Minnesota on Apri12, 1986, after six outstanding seasons as head coach at his alma mater, where he led the Hilltoppers to two NCAA Tournaments and one NIT appearance. Coach Haskins has recorded a 76-75 overall record at Minnesota, including a 57-38 mark over the past three-plus seasons. He has a 177-148 overall record in 12 seasons. The Foul Situation: As much as any other statistic, the foul situation certainly demonstrates that the Golden Gophers are coming of age on the defensive end of the floor. After being outscored 599-360 (21.4-12.9) at the free throw line during the 1990-91 season, the Golden Gophers hold an 85-65 advantage at the charity stripe through four contests this season and have been whistled for 79 total fouls compared to 101 for their opponents. Looking Ahead: Because of final exams, following Monday's game against Youngstown State, the Golden Gophers will not be in action again until Wednesday, December 11 when they host Akron at Williams Arena. Tip-off is at 7:00 p.m. GOPHER GRAPPLERS STRUGGLE AT NORTHERN OPEN Following successful tournaments the past two weekends, Coach J Robinson's Golden Gopher wrestling team left Madison, Wis. very disappointed at the conclusion of the Northern Open. Only three Gophers came away with three victories in their weight class. and no Gopher advanced beyond the third round. Seniors Ben Morris (118; Wooddale, Ill.) and S~ott Rohrer (126; Waupun, Wis.), along with junior Brad Gibson (177; Chokio, Minn.) all won three matches on Saturday. Next up for Minnesota will be the California Duals at Fullerton, Calif. on December 15. e e e .. 1991 -92 University of Minnesota BASKETBALL TEAM STATISTICS UM FG% OPPONENT OPP FG% HIGH SCORER HIGH REBOUNDER ATTEND PLACE & DATE 83 33.7 Arkansas 92 42.3 19 Carter 11 Carter 1,800 Maui Invitational- Nov. 25 89 54.5 Providence 82 38.8 20 Lenard 6 McDonald 1,000 Maui Invitational - Nov. 26 6 Lenard 69 53.6 Arizona State 37 27.3 10 Carter 9 Walton 1,000 Maui Invi~ational - Nov. 27 10 Martin 95 45.1 HOWARD 54 33. 9 17 Carter 8 Carter 12,923 WILLIAMS ARENA- Nov. 30 YOUNGSTOWN STATE WILLIAMS ARENA - Dec. 2 (7: 00 PM) AKRON WILLIAMS ARENA- Dec. 11 (7:00 PM) Alabama-Birmingham Birmingham, AL -Dec. 14 (7:05 PM) DETROIT WILLIAMS ARENA- Dec. 17 (7:00 PM) Memphis State Memphis, TN - Dec. 19 (7:30 PM) WEBER STATE WILLIAMS ARENA - Dec. 23 (7: 00 PM) Oregon Far West Classic -Dec. 27 (9:00 PM) TBA Far West Classic - Dec. 28 (TBA) IOWA STATE WILLIAMS ARENA - Jan. 4 ( 1: 30 PM) Indiana Bloomington, IN- Jan. 9 (7:00 PM) MICHIGAN WILLIAMS ARENA - Jan. 11 (Noon) Wisconsin Madison, WI - Jan. 15 (7:00 PM) MICHIGAN STATE WILLIAMS ARENA - Jan. 18 (Noon) Ohio State Columbus, OH- Jan. 22 (7:00PM) ILLINOIS WILLIAMS ARENA- Jan. 25 (2:00 PM) NORTHWESTERN WILLIAMS ARENA- Jan. 29 (7:00 PM) Iowa Iowa City, IA - Feb. 1 (Noon) Purdue W.

MICHIGAN DECEMBER 14-15 The University of Minnesota Golden Gophers swept a pair of games from North Dakota this past weekend to raise their WCHA record to 8-2 (10-4 overall), good for a tie for first place with Northern Michigan. The Wildcats have the same number of wins as the Gophers, but have two ties and have also played two more games. The Maroon and Gold will take this week off for final exams before hosting the Wildcats at Mariucci Arena on December 14-15 in two matinee affairs scheduled for 2:05 p.m. starts. Stolp Leads the Way: Pre-season All-American goaltender Jeff Stolp (Nashwauk, MN) was again the backbone of the Gopher's success this past weekend. He stifled the high powered North Dakota offense, limiting them to four goals total in the two contests. Stolp was phenomenal on Friday night when he held the Sioux at bay, stopping 30 shots, including six North Dakota break-aways. Stolp had 22 saves in the first two periods, until the Minnesota offense cranked up for three goals to take a 3-1 lead into the fmal period. The two teams exchanged goals in the final period for a 4-2 final tally. On Saturday, it was more of the same. Stolp shut down the Sioux in the first period, stopping two break-aways and gained his ninth win in the 8-2 victory. The two victories give the senior All-American candidate a 9-2 record with a 2.78 GAA overall and an 8-1 WCHA record with a 2.68 GAA. Freshmen Shine: The Golden Gophers offensive efforts were led by two fine freshmen this past weekend. WCHA Freshman of the Year candidate Darby Hendrickson (Richfield, MN) had a pure Hat Trick on Saturday night to give him 10 goals and six assist for the year. Hendrickson has now scored 10 goals in his last nine games Fellow freshman center Steve Magnusson (Dayton, MN) was not to be outdone, he scored two goals and had three assists to raise his season totals to five goals and eight assists. The Big "0": All-American candidate Larry Olimb (Warroad, MN) had another solid weekend, notching four assists to give him the team lead with 21 assists. He is the team leader in scoring with five goals and 21 assists for 26 points. The Big "0" also stood for offense, as the Gophers continued their strong scoring pace. The Gophers are averaging 4.9 goals per-game and 5.3 in WCHA play. On the defensive side Minnesota is limiting its opponents to 3.2 goals per-game and 2.9 in WCHA play. Pre-season All-American wing Trent Klatt (Osseo, MN) leads the team in goals with 11. The Gophers now have seven players scoring in double figures. Sophomore center Craig Johnson (St. Paul, MN) has seven goals and 15 assists, while fellow sophomore Jeff Nielsen (Grand Rapids, MN) has developed into a solid scorer with six goals and eight assists. On the blue line, juniors, Doug Zmolek (Rochester, MN) and Travis Richards (Plymouth, MN) lead the team in both ends of the rink. They have 1-9=10, and 5-4=9 numbers respectively. Homestand: After starting the season with nine of their first 12 games on the road the Gophers have entered a stretch of the schedule where they will play 11 of 13 games within the friendly confines of Mariucci Arena. The Gophers then finish the 1991-92 regular season schedule with nine of 14 on the road. Mariucci Classic: The Gophers play host to hockey powers Boston College, Providence and Bowling Green in the first annual Mariucci Classic hockey tournament on December 21-22. This fine field will provide what promises to be some exciting holiday hockey action.

Probable Starting Lineup: Forward: #25 Dana Jackson (Chicago), 6-8, Junior, 8.8 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 2.6 apg Forward: #34 Randy Carter (Memphis, Tenn.), 6-8, Sophomore, 12.4 ppg, 6.6 rpg, 1.0 apg Center: #55 Bob Martin (Apple Valley, Minn.), 7-0, Senior, 10.4 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 3.4 bpg Guard: #10 Arriel McDonald (Raleigh, N.C.), 6-2, Sophomore, 10.4 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 4.0 apg Guard: #21 Voshon Lenard (Detroit), 6-4, Freshman, 12.4 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 4.4 apg Broadcast Coverage: Both the Akron and Alabama-Birmingham games will be broadcast on the Midwest Sports Channel (MSC). WCCO-AM 830 is the exclusive radio voice of University of Minnesota basketball with Ray Christensen calling all of the action. Christensen Reaches Milestone: In his 36th season of broadcasting Golden Gopher basketball, Wednesday's game against Akron at Williams Arena will be Ray Christensen's 1,000 Golden Gopher basketball broadcast during his long and illustrious career. The Iowa-Minnesota football game in the 1990 season fmale was his 400th Golden Gopher football broadcast. Scouting Akron: Head Coach Coleman Crawford's Akron Zips upped its record to 3-1 on the season with a 65-62 home victory over Lamar last Saturday. Mark Alberts, a 6-1 junior guard, drained 10 of 15 three-pointers and scored 32 points in the win. On Tuesday, December 3, the Zips, despite 28 points from 6-4 senior Roy Coleman, dropped a heartbreaking 55-53 decision to host Kent State for their only defeat of the young season. Prior to the loss, the Zips had defeated Mississippi Valley (80-65) and Wooster (80-71). Coleman (21.0 ppg/8.3 rpg), a multi-talented performer who was honored as the Mid-Continent Conference Newcomer of the Year last season, has been sensational once again this season. Alberts ( 19.3 ppg), who missed all of last season with a broken leg, is a prolific outside shooter who has come back strong after a season on the sidelines. Randy Ballard (9.8 ppg/6.0 rpg), a 6-7, 230-pound forward who transferred to Akron from Wabash Valley College, has provided an all-important physical presence for the Zips underneath. The Zips finished with a 15-13 overall mark (6-10 Mid-Continent, tied for sixth) in 1990-91. In his third season at Akron, Crawford has charted a 34-26 overall record at the helm. Scouting Alabama-Birmingham: Alabama-Birmingham won the UAB Classic this past weekend to raise its overall record to 6-1 on the season. Elbert Rogers, a 6-8, 230-pound senior forward, is averaging a team-leading 20.6 points and 7.0 rebounds a game. Stanley Jackson, a 6- 3 junior guard, provides double trouble to opponents. He is averaging 18.8 points a contest. The Blazers, members of the Great Midwest Conference this season, finished 18-13 overall, 9-5 (2nd) in the Sun Belt Conference in 1990-91, qualifying for the NIT in the process. Head Coach Gene Bartow is in his 14th season at UAB where he has charted a record of 278-144. This is his 30th season (600-293) overall. Hi Strangers: Minnesota has never met Akron or Alabama-Birmingham on the basketball court. Winning Big: Arriel McDonald tallied 21 points and seven assists to lead the Golden Gophers to an easy 98-59 victory over Youngstown State before 12,314 at Williams Arena last Monday. Dana Jackson with 13 points, Randy Carter and sophomore Ernest Nzigamasabo (Bujumbura, Burundi - Africa) with 12, and Voshon Lenard and fellow freshman Jayson Walton (Dallas) with 11, joined McDonald in double figures in the victory. The Golden Gophers have now won their last three games by an average of just over 37 points. The 41-point margin of • victory over Howard on November 30 was the largest margin of victory for the Golden Gophers since a 116-48 trouncing of Rider at Williams Arena back on January 3, 1990. Williams Arena: The Golden Gophers have become very tough to beat at home in front of their loyal home fans. They have registered an impressive 38-11 record (.776) over the past three-plus seasons within the hallowed walls of Williams Arena. Big Men In The Middle: The Golden Gophers have been getting outstanding play at the center position this season from Bob Martin and Ernest Nzigamasabo. Martin is ranked third on the team in scoring (10.4 ppg), second in rebounding (6.4 rpg) and is the team leader in blocks (3.4 bpg). He is shooting a sparkling 67.7 percent (21 of 31) from the floor and is ranked fifth on the all-time school career blocks list with 101. Mychal Thompson is fourth with 102. Nzigamasabo is averaging 7.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks a game. In the past two victories he has scored a total of 25 points, hauled down 10 rebounds and registered three blocks. Great Balance: Through five games, 10 players are averaging at least five points and 12 minutes a game for the Golden Gophers. Defense-Defense: The Golden Gophers have really cranked up the defensive pressure this season. At the Maui Invitational they came away with the tournament record for fewest points allowed in the 69-37 win over Arizona State, which included only 15 Sun Devil points in the first 20 minutes of play. Through five games, Golden Gopher opponents are shooting just 36.0 percent (112 of 311) from the field. Getting The Range Down: The Golden Gophers have shot above 50 percent in three of five games thus far this season. Haskins' youthful squad shot at or above the 50 percent mark in just five of 28 games a year ago. Coach Haskins: In his sixth season at the helm, Head Coach Clem Haskins has been the chid architect behind the resurgence of the Golden Gopher basketball program. After two rebuilding seasons, he directed the program to national prominence with back-to-back storybook runs through the NCAA Tournament in 1989 (Sweet Sixteen) and 1990 (Elite Eight). This past July he coached the North squad to an unbeaten record and the gold medal at the U.S. Olympic Festival in Los Angeles. Known as "Clem the Gem," he was a consensus All-America choice, and is still recognized as one of the most dominant players to ever play in the Ohio Valley Conference, after charting a standout collegiate career at Western Kentucky. The third player selected in the NBA draft, he went on to play nine outstanding seasons with the Chicago Bulls (1967 -70), Phoenix Suns (1970-74) and Washington Bullets (1974-76). He was named to the head job at Minnesota on April 2, 1986, after six outstanding seasons as head coach at his alma mater, where he led the Hilltoppers to two NCAA Tournaments and one NIT appearance. Coach Haskins has recorded a 77-75 overall record at Minnesota, including a 58-38 mark over the past three-plus seasons. He has a 178-148 overall record in 12 seasons. The Foul Situation: As much as any other statistic, the foul situation certainly demonstrates that the Golden Gophers are coming of age on the defensive end of the floor.

The action heats up right away as the high-powered Northern Michigan Wildcats come to town in a much awaited showdown between two of the finest teams in the country. The Wildcats, coached by Rick Comley, are coming off a storybook year that had them winning the WCHA regular season, the WCHA tourney and the NCAA title last spring in an overtime thriller against Boston U. About the Wildcats: For the season, the Wildcats record stands at 9-5-2 overall and 8-4-2 in conference play. They are one point behind league-leading Wisconsin, but the Badgers have played two more games. The "Cats" lead the league in scoring with a 6.07 average per game. They have three of the top four scorers in the league in Scott Beattie (13-28), Jim Hiller (16-26) and Dallas Drake (16-20). On defense, veterans Lou Melone and Phil Soukoroff lead the way, while freshman Corwin Saurdiff has been strong in goal. The Minnesota/Northern Michigan series stands at 18-9-5 in favor of the Gophers, while Doug W oog holds a 12-7-4 record against them. Last year the Gophers took three of four points at home against the Wildcats, when a puck deflected off of a skate and into the net with seven seconds left on the clock in the second game, leading to the overtime tie. Stolp Leads the Way: Pre-season All-American goaltender Jeff Stolp (Nashwauk, MN) has been the backbone of the Gophers' success this year. He stifled the high-powered North Dakota offense, limiting them to four goals in the two contests, garnering WCHA Player of the Week honors. Stolp was phenomenal the first night when he held the Sioux at bay, stopping 30 shots, including six North Dakota break-aways. Stolp had 22 saves in the first two periods. While the Minnesota offense cranked up for three goals to take a 3-1 lead into the final period. The two teams exchanged goals in the final period for a 4-2 final tally. In the Saturday game, it was more ..of the same. Stolp shut down the Sioux in the first period, stopping two break-aways, gaining his ninth win in the 8-2 victory. The two victories give the senior All-American candidate a 9-2 record with a 2.78 GAA overall and an 8-1 WCHA record with a 2.68 GAA, which leads the WCHA and puts him second in the country in winning percentage. Freshmen Shine: The Golden Gophers offensive efforts against North Dakota were led by two fine freshmen. WCHA Freshman of the Year candidate Darby Hendrickson (Richfield, MN) had a pure Hat Trick in the Saturday night game, to give him 10 goals and six assists for the year. Hendrickson has now scored 10 goals in his last nine games Fellow freshman center Steve Magnusson (Dayton, MN) was not to be outdone. He scored two goals and had three assists to raise his season totals to five goals and eight assists. The Big "0": All-American candidate Larry Olimb (Warroad, MN) had another solid weekend, notching four assists to give him the team lead with 21 assists. He is the team leader in scoring with five goals and 21 assists for 26 points, which ranks seventh in WCHA scoring with the Gophers having four games in hand. The Big "0" also stood for offense, as the Gophers continued their strong scoring pace. The Gophers are averaging 4.9 goals per-game and 5.3 in WCHA play. On the defensive side, Minnesota is limiting its opponents to 3.2 goals per-game. Pre-season All-American wing Trent Klatt (Osseo, MN) leads the team in goals with 11. The Gophers now have seven players scoring in double figures. Sophomore center Craig Johnson (St. Paul, MN) has seven goals and 15 assists, while fellow sophomore Jeff Nielsen (Grand Rapids, MN) has developed into a solid scorer with six goals and eight assists. On the blue line, juniors, Doug Zmolek (Rochester, MN) and Travis Richards (Plymouth, MN) lead the team in both ends of the rink. They have 1-9= 10, and 5-4=9 numbers resp~ctively. Mariucci Classic: The Gophers play host to hockey powers Boston College, Providence and Bowling Green in the first annual Mariucci Classic hockey to1.•rnament on December 21-22. This fine field will provide what promises to be some exciting holiday hockey action. In the first game, perennial hockey powerhouse Boston College takes on an improved CCHA club in Bowling Green at 2:05p.m. The 7:05p.m. game has the Golden Gophers and Providence Friars playing a re-match of e i their 1991 NCAA first round games last year at Mariucci Arena. The Friars came into Mariucci last year and upset the Gophers 4-3, before the Maroon and Gold bounced back with 8-4 and 8-3 victories to advance in the NCAA playoffs. The consolation game is scheduled for 2:05p.m. on Sunday, with the championship slated for a 7:05p.m. start. 1991-92 Minnesota Gophers HOCKEY STATS AFTER 14 GAMES ' W-L-T MN OPP OPPONENT ATTEND PLACE & DATE w 7 3 Minnesota-Duluth 5664 Duluth, MN 7:35p.m. 10/18/91 L 4 7 Minnesota-Duluth 5451 Duluth, MN 7:00 p.m. 10/19/91 L 2 4 University of Denver 3745 Denver, CO 7:00 p.m 10/25/91 w 5 1 University of Denver 3106 Denver, CO 7:00 p.m. 10/26/91 w 7 4 St. Cloud State 5567 St. Cloud, MN 7:35 11/01/91 - w 7 2 ST.

"Coach Wacker represents a great fit for the University of Minnesota and the values we embrace," Boston said. " He is a proven winner with a national reputation for honesty, integrity and attention to the academic achievements of his student athletes." Wacker's 144-91-3 career record places him among the top 20 coaches in the nation in winning percentage for those who have coached at the NCAA Division lA level for at least five years. Wacker, 54, has been recognized as the top coach in the nation twice during his 21-year head coaching career. In 1983, Wacker led TCU to an 8-3 record and the Bluebonnet Bowl. His success earned him National Coach of the Year honors from THE SPORTING NEWS, United Press International and ESPN. The same year, Wacker was recipient of the American Sportsmanship Council's Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award. Wacker's 1982 Southwest Texas State national champions finished 14-0, and he was selected college division coach of the year by numerous agencies and publications. In 1984, Wacker was the subject of national attention again when he uncovered a payment plan to TCU players in violation of NCAA rules. The plan had been put in place prior to the arrival of Wacker and his staff. Wacker dismissed seven players from his team and reported the violation to ·the NCAA. The result was national acclaim for Wacker's actions and one of the stiffest penalties ever levied on an NCAA-member institution -- the loss of 30 football scholarships. The Horned Frogs record this past fall, according to many, represented the second time Wacker had rebuilt a program whose • record from 1973 to 1982 was a dismal 17-90-3. Wacker and his staff also doubled graduation rates within the footb~ll program during his nine-year tenure. In 1991, all 23 of TCU's senior football players graduated. Law School Dean Robert Stein, who served as chair of the search committee that recommended Wacker, expressed enthusiasm for the future of Minnesota football. "Jim Wacker has rebuilt programs on four different occasions," Stein said, referring to Wacker's successes at Texas Lutheran, Southwest Texas State, North Dakota State and Texas Christian. "He's a coach who operates with absolute integrity and concern for the academic experience of his student athletes. In addition, he plays an exciting brand of football with an explosive offense that will be entertaining for all of us to watch." "Minnesota is a school with a tremendous tradition of football - success," said Wacker. "Every place I've been, I've faced challenges to build or rebuild. With all the resources available in the Twin Cities and at the University of Minnesota, I'm certain that a return to that traditional success is possible. I'm happy to have this opportunity." According to Wacker, the process of assembling a staff and hiring assistant coaches will begin immediately. The Gopher's new head coach also plans to begin his recruiting tomorrow. A Detroit native, Wacker graduated from Valparaiso University (Indiana) as a three-year football letterwinner in 1960. He holds a masters degree from Wayne State University and a doctorate in education from the University of Nebraska. His midwest ties include successful coaching stints at Augustana (South Dakota) and North Dakota State. Wacker and his wife, Lil, have three sons.
