GOPHERS LOSE TO ILLINOIS, PURDUE- Life is tough on the road for any Big Ten Conference team. The Gophers got another first-hand experience on how tough that life can be. Friday night, 19th ranked lllinois defeated the Gophers in three games, 15-6, 15-6, 15-8, before the standard Huff Gym crowd of 1,605.

INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCES - Sophomore middle hitter HEATHER BENNING (WINONA, MN) was the most consistent hitter for Minnesota over the weekend.

On the subject of blocking, Minnesota's DAWN THOMPSON (PORTAGE, MI/NORTHERN) and KAREN LUSHINE (ROSEVILLE, MN) are approaching significant milestones in their careers. Thompson needs just one block to reach 400 in her career. By doing so, she would become only the fourth Gopher in history to reach that level.

Lushine had four block assists on the recent road trip and now has 188 total blocks in her Minnesota career, moving her into lOth place on the all-time Minnesota list (see stat page for complete list).

WEEKEND IN REVIEW-- GOPHERS LOSE TO ILLINOIS, PURDUE -Life is tough on the road for any Big Ten Conference team. The Gophers got another first-hand experience on how tough that life can be. Friday night, 19th • ranked lllinois defeated the Gophers in three games, 15-6, 15-6, 15-8, before the standardHuffGymcrowd of 1,605. The Illini revenged the 1989 home loss to Minnesota, a loss that broke a 37 -match home conference winning streak. Saturday night, Purdue completed a season sweep of Minnesota by defeating the Gophers in three games, 15-8, 15-8, 15-11. Minnesota hit .231 in the match, a conference season high for the Gophers and its best performance since Labor Day against Connecticut. The Gophers hit .444 in game three and led 8-7 at one point before the Boilermakers rallied for the 15-11 win.

INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCES - Sophomore middle hitter HEATHER BENNING (WINONA, MN) was the most consistent hitter for Minnesota over the weekend. Benning hit . 310 in the two matches, including a team-high 12 kills against Purdue. She has now contributed six double-figure kill performances to the Gopher effort in 1990, including four in the last eight matches. Benning's blocking also continues to be a strong suit as she is third on the Minnesota roster with 56 total blocks for the season. On the subject of blocking, Minnesota's DAWN THOMPSON (PORTAGE, MIJNORTHERN) and KAREN LUSHINE (ROSEVILLE, MN) are approaching significant milestones in their careers. Thompson needs just one block to reach 400 in her career. By doing so, she would become only the fourth Gopher in history to reach that leveL She also needs six total blocks to reach 100 for the season, the third time that she would accomplish that feat. This past weekend, Thompson had five block assists to boost her career total to 321 and move her past Lori Miller ( 1986-89) into second place on the all-time block assist list. Lushine had four block assists on the recent road trip and now has 188 total blocks in her Minnesota career, moving her into lOth place on the all-time Minnesota list (see stat page for complete list). She needs only two total blocks to move past Beth Hiner ( 1982-85) into ninth place. Lushine leads the Gophers in Big Ten play with an average of 1.21 blocks/game. Sophomores ANGIE HANNA (FORT WAYNE, IN/CARROLL) is tied with fellow sophomore • BECKY LINDBERG (FOREST LAKE, MN) for eighth place on the career dig list with 437 digs, while EMILY AHLQUIST (PLYMOUTII, MN/ARMSTRONG) is lOth with 416 digs. Thompson is the only other current Gopher on the list, holding down sixth place with 667 digs. Ahlquist leads Minnesota in 1990 with 233 digs and a 2.62 digs/game average.

Last year, Michigan upset Minnesota in five games at Ann Arbor, the Wolverines' only Big Ten win in 1989. Saturday night, Michigan upset lllinois 3-0 (15-13, 15-13, 15-10) in Ann Arbor, snapping a 20-match Big Ten losing streak that dated back to last season's Minnesota match.

SPARTAN SIGHTINGS - Michigan State (7 -20, 3-10 Big Ten) is struggling, having lost its last eight matches, including its last six matches in three straight games. The Spartans do own conference wins over Indiana, Minnesota and Michigan, with the last of those coming Oct. 17 in East Lansing, over Michigan. Michigan State needs just one victory in its last five Big Ten matches to equal its 1989 conference victory total of four. The Spartans play in Iowa City Friday night before traveling to Minnesota for the Saturday encounter. THE COACH-Michigan State's Ginger Mayson (South Alabama '77) is in her sixth season at East Lansing and has a r~ord of 54-127 (.298), 18-85 (.175) in conference play. Hereight-yearoverall record is 110-153 (.418). WATCH FOR- Simply put, senior outside hitter Becky Belanger is the best volleyball player that Michigan State has ever had. She is first on MSU's career list for kills (1,589) and total attacks (4,129), second in digs ( 1,233) and third in hitting percentage (.269) and service aces ( 168). Belanger leads the 1990 Spartan team with 4.07 kills/game and 3.03 digs/game. Senior middle hitter Dawn Andrews is one of the Big Ten's better blockers at 1.05 blocks/game. THE SERIES -Minnesota leads the series 16-4, but the Spartans won the first meeting this year in three games at East Lansing.

GOPHERS BATILE BUT THEN FALL TO lOWA- The Gophers dropped a 3-0 decision to Iowa on Wednesday in what had to beone of Minnesota's toughest losses of the year. After losing game one 15-5, Minnesota held a 14-4 lead in game two before becoming the victim to an unpleasant Halloween trick. Unable to capitalize on six game-point serves, the Gophers squandered the lead and provided Iowa with an unexpected 16-14 treat. The Hawkeyes completed the sweep with a 15-11 win in game three.

CROSS COUNTRY • REGION MEET PARTICULARS- The University of Minnesota women's cross country team will travel to West Lafayette, Ind. to take part in the Region IV Cross Country Championship Saturday at 11 a.m. EST. This meet serves as the qualifying meet for the NCAA Championship Nov. 19 at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tenn.

MEET PREVIEW- The 5,000-meter race will be run at Purdue's South Golf Course, but this circuit is a little more demanding than the Big Ten Championship course at Les Bolstad. Indiana, ranked third in the latest NCAA Division I coaches' poll, is the choice to repeat as the region titlist. Hoosier senior Michelle Dekkers won the Big Ten meet by 11 seconds at Minnesota and is the clear-cut favorite at Purdue. Tenth ranked Wisconsin presents the greatest team and individual challenges to Indiana, as seniors Suzy Favor and Mary Hartzheim will try to track down Dekkers and the Hoosiers. Michigan fell to 13th in this week's national poll, although they fmished a strong third at the Big Ten meet. The Wolverine "pack attack" strategy might prove to be effective in this meet, as Minnesota proved in 1989 with its second-place finish.

THE LINEUP- For now, the Gopher roster will remain unchanged heading into this weekend's race. Similar to the Big Ten meet, the Gophers have only two returnees off of the 1989 Region IV squad. The Minnesota seven are: 1989 Region Name Yr. Hometown 1990 Big Ten Result IV Result Chris Abbott Sr. Winona, MN 19:01.0 (37th) None Monika Balint Fr. Budapest, Hungary 18:22.6 (16th) None Laura Duffy Sr. Kennebunk, ME 18:46.0 (27th) 18:39 (44th) Lori Nesvold Sr. Maple Plain, MN 19:26.7 (49th) None Kara Parker Jr. Olivia, MN 18:57.8 (36th) None Chris Rowe Jr. Sioux Falls, SD 17:51.0 (lOth) 18:32 (34th) • Shelly Wall Jr. Wilson, WI 19:37.9 (52nd) None

LAST YEAR'S MEET-The 1989 edition of the Region IV Cross Country Championship was one of the most successful meets in Gopher cross country history. Minnesota was able to improve on a fourth-place finish at the 1989 Big Ten meet, upsetting Iowa and Michigan to take second place and claim an automatic berth in the 1989 NCAA Championship meet. It was the first NCAA appearance for Minnesota as a team since 1983. Minnes6ta head coach GARY WILSON was named the Region IV Coach of the Year for his team's performance.

Each gymnast's average was based on her top five scores of the season, with two of those scores having to be from a championship competition. Kraling finished second all-around in the 1990 Minnesota State AA High School Girls Gymnastics meet after winning the state AA all-around title in 1989.

SERIES VS. MICHIGAN- Minnesota leads the overall series 20-1, with the only blemish coming • in a five-game loss at Michigan last season. The Gophers' only Big Ten victory of the 1990 season came at Michigan Oct. 14, when Minnesota defeated the Wolverines 13-15, 15-6, 15-10, 9-15, 15-11.

SPARTAN SIGHTINGS- Michigan State (7-20, 3-10 Big Ten) is struggling, having lost its last eight matches, including its last six matches in three straight games. The Spartans do own conference wins over Indiana, Minnesota and Michigan, with the last of those coming Oct. 17 in East Lansing, over Michigan. Michigan State needs just one victory in its last five Big Ten matches to equal its 1989 conference victory total of four. The Spartans play in Iowa City Friday night before traveling to Minnesota for the Saturday encounter. THE COACH-Michigan State's Ginger Mayson (South Alabama '77) is in her sixth season at East Lansing and has a record of 54-127 (.298), 18-85 (.175) in conference play. Her eight-year overall record is 110-153 (.418). WATCH FOR- Simply put, senior outside hitter Becky Bel;.tnger is the best volleyball player that Michigan State has ever had. She is first on MSU's career list for kills (1,589) and total attacks (4,129), second in digs ( 1,233) and third in hitting percentage (.269) and service aces ( 168). Belanger leads the 1990 Spartan team with 4.07 kills/game and 3.03 digs/game. Senior middle hitter Dawn Andrews is one of the Big Ten's better blockers at 1.05 blocks/game. THE SERIES-Minnesota leads the series 16-4, but the Spartans won the first meeting this year in three games at East Lansing. The 15-7, 16-14, 15-4 victory broke a Minnesota 10-match winning streak against Michigan State dating back to Oct. 19, 1984.

One Gopher who was not intimidated was sophomore EMILY AHLQUIST (PLYMOUTII, MN/ARMSTRONG). Ahlquist hit .333, led Minnesota with seven kills, and added a service ace and three digs.

GOPHERS BATTLE BUT THEN FALL TO lOWA- The Gophers dropped a 3-0 decision to Iowa on Wednesday in what had to be one of Minnesota's toughest losses of the year. After losing game one 15-5, Minnesota held a 14-4 lead in game two before becoming the victim to an unpleasant Halloween trick. Unable to capitalize on six game-point serves, the Gophers squandered the lead and provided Iowa with an unexpected 16-14 treat. The Hawkeyes completed the sweep with a 15-11 win in game three. Thompson had 14 kills to lead the Gophers and freshman setter SUE JACKSON (KALAMAZOO, MJJCOMSTOCK) had a career-high 19 digs. Iowa outhit Minnesota .225 to .137.

WILDCAT WOBBLES- Northwestern (14-15, 6-8 Big Ten) has been struggling of late, losing four in a row, six of its last seven and seven of its last nine. The Wildcats have lost five straight conference matches. Northwestern will play at Notre Dame on Tuesday in hopes of ending its losing streak. The streak almost came to an end Friday but Purdue escaped with a 3-2 win. Illinois then swept the 'Cats 3-0 on Saturday. WATCH FOR- Sophomore outside hitter Stacey Kammes continues to lead Northwestern in hitting. She has topped the team in kills in 15 matches this season and is averaging 3.18 kills per game. She averages 0. 39 aces/game, second on the team to junior outside hitter Jenny Jostes' 0.41 average. Jostes leads the team in digs (3.40/game).

BADGER BOASTINGS- Tenth-ranked Wisconsin (24-7, 12-2 Big Ten) had an eight-match winning streak snapped Saturday in West Lafayette, Ind. as Purdue beat the Badgers in five and kept Wisconsin's conference title hopes on hold. Wisconsin won 3-1 over Illinois in Champaign, Ill. on Friday. Three teams are still in contention for the Big Ten title: Wisconsin (12-2), Purdue (12-3), and Ohio State (11-3). The schedule favors Wisconsin, as the Badgers have home matches against the Gophers and Iowa this weekend • and finish at Michigan and Michigan State on Nov. 23 and 24. Purdue must still play Indiana (away), Ohio State (away) and lllinois (home); while Ohio State has lllinois (home), Purdue (home), Iowa (away) and Minnesota (away) remaining.

Minnesota fell behind early in game one against Michigan Friday, but rallied fora 15-12, 16-14, 13-15, 15-2 victory, the second conference win of the season. The Gopher hitters • had their best night since Labor Day, hitting .270 against the Wolverines. The most impressive statistic may have been the team's blocking numbers. Minnesota sent two and sometimes three Gophers to the net to defend against the Michigan attack and came away with a season-high 23.5 team blocks, including a Williams Arena record 39 block assists. The Gophers tried to complete the sweep against Michigan State Saturday, but the Spartans ran off leads too large to overcome in all three games and held on for a 16-14, 15-13, 15-12 victory. Minnesota's attack percentage fell to .174 for the match and the team only blocked 7.5 attacks.

INDIVIDUAL NOTES- Senior middle hitter DAWN THOMPSON (PORTAGE, MJJNORTHERN) had a rare volleyball "triple-double" Friday night against Michigan, collecting 13 kills, 16 digs and a career high 11 blocks. The triple-double was the fifth in Minnesota volleyball history, while Thompson's 11 block assists set a Williams Arena record. She now has 103 block assists for the season, which is a career-high for one season and ranks fourth on the Gopher single"-season list. Thompson's 420 career blocks now leave her just 10 behind Lori Miller, who ranks third on the all-time Minnesota chart. Sophomore outside hitter ANGIE HANNA (FORT WAYNE, IN/CARROLL) led the Gophers in kills in both matches, gathering 17 against Michigan and 13 against Michigan State. The Michigan match marked the first time since Sept. 29 against lllinois that Hanna has led the team in kills. She also added 13 digs and a career-high seven blocks in the Michigan win. Hanna now has 485 digs in her two-year career, ranking eighth on the all-time list. Junior middle hitter KAREN LUSHINE (ROSEVILLE, MN) did not start the Friday match against Michigan, but made an important contribution. Lushine had eight kills and a career-high 11 blocks against the Wolverines and now has 207 career blocks, five short of eighth place on the all-time Minnesota list. Lushine also hit .400 for the Michigan·match, her second best hitting performance of the season. Sophomore middle hitter HEATHER BENNING (WINONA, MN) did not lead Minnesota Friday night • in kills, blocks or digs, but she put together one of the more complete matches of her career. Benning had a career-high 16 kills, hit a Minnesota Big Ten match-high .448, dug a career-high 11 balls and blocked five Michigan kill attempts. The 16 kills and 11 digs marked the first "double-double" of Benning's career and the .448 hitting percentage was her best of the 1990 season. Very quietly, she has upped her kill average from 1.11 in 1989 to 2.11 in 1990. THE SCHLEUDER LINE- Minnesota's STEPHANIE SCHLEUDER (Minnesota-Duluth '72) is in her 18th season as a volleyball coach. She has an overall record of 477-228 (.677). In nine seasons at Minnesota, Schleuder has compiled an overall record of179-116 (.607) and a Big Ten record of 80-63 (.559). TENNIS

GOPHERS FINISH FIFTH AT REGION MEET- At the Region 4 meet in West Lafayette, Ind. Saturday, Minnesota ran a very similar race to the one they ran two weeks ago at the Big Ten Championship • and came through with the same result.

Indiana (51), Michigan (72), Iowa (113), and Wisconsin (173) finished ahead of the Gophers and will all participate at the NCAA Champion ship next Monday at the University of Tennessee. Minnesota defeated every non-ranked Division I team that it raced against in the Region 4 meet, but lost to every ranked Division I team, a fact that has held true all season.

INDIVIDUAL NOTES- Indiana's Michelle Dekkers continued her impressive career with another victory at Purdue, defeating Wisconsin's Suzy Favor by 11 seconds. Minnesota's top finisher was freshman MONIKA BALINT (BUDAPEST, HUNGARY), who placed 22nd in 18:27.09 over the 5,000-meter course.

VOLLEYBALL TEAM WRAPS UP ROAD SEASON THIS WEEKEND - After splitting home matches against Michigan and Michigan State Friday and Saturday, the Gophers (8-22, 2-12 Big Ten) will venture to Evanston, Ill. and Madison, Wis. for matches against Northwestern and league-leading Wiscon sin Friday and Saturday.

WILDCAT WOBBLES- Northwestern (14-15, 6-8 Big Ten) has been struggling of late, losing four in a row, six of its last seven and seven of its last nine. The Wildcats have lost five straight conference matches. Northwestern will play at Notre Dame on Tuesday in hopes of ending its losing streak. The streak almost came to an end Friday but Purdue escaped with a 3-2 win. Illinois then swept the 'Cats 3-0 on Saturday. WATCH FOR- Sophomore outside hitter Stacey Kammes continues to lead Northwestern in hitting . She has topped the team in kills in 15 matches this season and is averaging 3.18 kills per game. She averages 0.39 aces/game, second on the team to junior outside hitter Jenny Jostes' 0.41 average. Jostes leads the team • in digs (3.40/game). Junior Heather Fredin (8.18 assists/game) handles the setting duties. Freshman outside hitter Kim Hanson from Chaska (Minn.) High School averages 2.25 kills per game. THE COACH--Jerry Angle (George Williams '73) is in his 12th season at Northwestern with a career record of 292-179-5 (.620). In his 17th season as a collegiate head coach, Angle is 429-243-5 (.638). SERIES- The series is tied 11-11. Northwestern won 15-3,4-15, 15-4, 15-8 at Williams Arena on Oct. 20. The Gophers won both matches between the teams in 1989.

BADGER BOASTINGS - Tenth-ranked Wisconsin (24-7, 12-2 Big Ten) had an eight-match winning streak snapped Saturday in West Lafayette, Ind. as Purdue beat the Badgers in five and kept Wisconsin's conference title hopes on hold. Wisconsin won 3-1 over Illinois in Champaign, Ill. on Friday. Three teams are still in contention for the Big Ten title: Wisconsin (12-2), Purdue (12-3), and Ohio State (11-3). The schedule favors Wisconsin, as the Badgers have home matches against the Gophers and Iowa this weekend and finish at Michigan and Michigan State on Nov. 23 and 24. Purdue must still play Indiana (away), Ohio State (away) and lllinois (home); while Ohio State has lllinois (home), Purdue (home), Iowa (away) and Minnesota (away) remaining. -- WATCH FOR-In Wisconsin's loss to Purdue, junior middle blocker Arlisa Hagan hit .479 with 26 kills and senior middle blocker Lisa Boyd hit .357 with 19 kills. Hagan is hitting .336 on the season (3.64 kills/game) and Boyd is hitting .262 (2.79 kills/game). Junior outside hitter Susan Wohlford (4.54 digs/ game, 4.95 digs/Big Ten game) plays tenacious defense and seems to believe she can retrieve any opponent attack. Junior setter Liz Tortorello averages 13.00 assists per game in the Big Ten (11.40 overall). THE COACH-- Steve Lowe (Iowa '78) is coaching in his fifth season at Wisconsin and carries a 103- 63 (.620) school and career record.

GOPHERS MAINTAIN CONFERENCE STANDING -The Gophers (8-22, 2-12 Big Ten) entered last weekend's play with the hope of sweeping the two Michigan schools and improving their standing among the Big Ten teams to eighth place. Minnesota fell behind early in game one against Michigan Friday, but rallied fora 15-12, 16-14, 13-15, 15-2 victory, the second conference win of the season. The Gopher hitters had their best night since Labor Day, hitting .270 against the Wolverines. The most impressive statistic may have been the team's blocking numbers. Minnesota sent two and sometimes three Gophers to the net to defend against the Michigan attack and came away with a season-high 23.5 team blocks, including a Williams Arena record 39 block assists. The Gophers tried to complete the sweep against Michigan State Saturday, but the Spartans ran off leads too large to overcome in all three games and held on for a 16-14, 15-13, 15-12 victory. Minnesota's attack percentage fell to .174 for the match and the team only blocked 7.5 attacks.

INDIVIDUAL NOTES- Senior middle hitter DAWN THOMPSON (PORTAGE, MIINORTHERN) • had a rare volleyball "triple-double" Friday night against Michigan, collecting 13 kills, 16 digs and a career- high 11 blocks. The triple-double was the fifth in Minnesota volleyball history, while Thompson's 11 block assists set a Williams Arena record. She now has 103 block assists for the season, which is a career-high for one season and ranks fourth on the Gopher single-season list. Thompson's 420 career blocks now leave her just 10 behind Lori Miller, who ranks third on the all-time Minnesota chart. Sophomore outside hitter ANGIE HANNA (FORT WAYNE, IN/CARROLL) led the Gophers in kills in both matches, gathering 17 against Michigan and 13 against Michigan State. The Michigan match marked the first time since Sept. 29 against lllinois that Hanna has led the team in kills. She also added 13 digs and a career-high seven blocks in the Michigan win. Hanna now has 485 digs in her two-year career, ranking eighth on the all-time list. Junior middle hitter KAREN LUSHINE (ROSEVILLE, MN) did not start the Friday match against Michigan, but made an important contribution. Lushine had eight kills and a career-high 11 blocks against the Wolverines and now has 207 career blocks, five short of eighth place on the all-time Minnesota list. Lushine also hit .400 for the Michigan match, her second best hitting performance of the season. Sophomore middle hitter HEATHER BENNING (WINONA, MN) did not lead Minnesota Friday night in kills, blocks or digs, but she put together one of the more complete matches of her career. Benning had a career-high 16 kills, hit a Minnesota Big Ten match-high .448, dug a career-high 11 balls and blocked five Michigan kill attempts. The 16 kills and 11 digs marked the first "double-double" of Benning's career and the .448 hitting percentage was her best of the 1990 season. Very quieti y, she has upped her kill average from 1.11 in 1989 to 2.11 in 1990.

VOLLEYBALL

GOPHERS CLOSE SEASON WITH INDIANA, OHIO STATE-The Minnesota women's volleyball • team ends its 1990 season with two home Big Ten matches. The Gophers will host Indiana Friday at 7:30 p.m., followed by a match with Ohio State Saturday at 7:30p.m. Saturday's match is Senior Day, with Gopher seniors JODI ROGERS (VILLA PARK, IL/WILLOWBROOK) and DAWN THOMPSON (PORTAGE, MIINORTIIERN) being honored in their final matches at Williams Arena.

A LOOK AT THE OPPONENTS- HOOSIER HAPPENINGS- Indiana (16-10, 8-8 Big Ten) still has postseason aspirations, especially in terms of the Women's Intercollegiate Volleyball Championship. However, the Hoosiers may have to win both matches this weekend to assure both a winning record in Big Ten play and a postseason berth. The .500 record in conference play should surprise nobody, as the Hoosiers have fmished at .500 in the Big Ten both of the past two seasons. Last weekend, Indiana defeated Purdue in four games and lost to Illinois in five games. WATCH FOR-Senior outside hitter Diane Hoereth had a big weekend against Purdue and Illinois, collecting 45 kills and 38 digs in the two matches. She leads the Hoosiers with 4.38 kills/game, 3.05 digs/ game and a .280 hitting percentage. Junior outside hitter Mary Jo Herrett led Indiana with 22 kills against Purdue and is the second leading hitter for the Hoosiers with 3.51 kills/game. Senior setter Joy Jordan is averaging 13.17 assists/game. THE COACH- Indiana's Tom Shoji (UC-Santa Barbara '71) is in his fourth season as the Hoosier mentor with a record of 72-48 (.600) overall and 36-34 (.514) in Big Ten play. Shoji has a 10-year career mark of 188-140 (.573). THE SERIES -Minnesota leads the series 13-7. Indiana won the first meeting of the year 15-7, 15- 6, 15-7 at Bloomington, Ind. behind Hoereth' s 19 kills. KAREN LUSHINE (ROSEVILLE, MN) had nine • kills to lead Minnesota's hitters. --more -l

Minnesota Women's Sports News -2-2-2-2- 11/19/90 I VOLLEYBALL CONTINUED-- BUCKEYE BULLETIN-Ohio State (21-7, 13-3 Big Ten) enters the final weekendofregularseason play • as the only team with a chance to catch Wisconsin for the league title. However, that chance is very slim. Wisconsin (26-7, 14-2 Big Ten) leads the Buckeyes by one full game and holds the tie-breaker advantage, having beaten Ohio State twice. Wisconsin would have to lose at both Michigan schools and Ohio State would have to win at Iowa and Minnesota for the Buckeyes to repeat as Big Ten champions. Regardless, the 15th-ranked Buckeyes are likely on their way to their second consecutive NCAA tournament. The berth was probably cinched with their two home-court victories last weekend over lllinois and Purdue. WATCH FOR-Senior outside hitter Holly O'Leary was the Big Ten Player of the Year in 1989 and is a candidate to repeat in 1990. O'Leary leads the Buckeyes with 4.28 kills/game and is Ohio State's all time kill leader with 1,726. She had 20 kills in Ohio State's victory over Purdue Saturday night. Junior middle blocker Leisa Wissler is second on the club in both kills (2.72/game) and blocks (.81/game). Weissler led Ohio State with 18 kills in the Friday night victory over Illinois. Senior setter Audrey DiPronio runs the Buckeye offense, averaging 11.48 assists/game. THE COACH-Ohio State's Jim Stone (Ball State '7 5) is in his ninth season as the Ohio State coach. He has a 185-107 (.634) overall record and a 93-52 (.641) Big Ten record. Stone's 12-year career record stands at 235-149 (.612). THE SERIES-Ohio State leads the series 14-11 and has taken the last three matches from Minnesota. Earlier this season, the Buckeyes swept the Gophers 15-4, 15-11, 15-10 in the conference opener for both teams at Columbus. 0 'Leary had 14 kills to lead Ohio State and Lushine had eight kills to lead Minnesota.

Minnesota took both teams to four games before succumbing to the more experienced Wildcats and Badgers. Northwestern opened Friday's match with 15-4 and 15-10 wins, outhitting the Gophers .444 to .179 in game one and .405 to .154 in game two. Minnesota outhit the 'Cats .283 to .213 in game three and capitalized with a 15-13 win. The Gophers could not maintain the pace, however, and hit just .136 in game four as the Wildcats hung on to win the game 15-13 and the match 3-1. On Saturday, a Wisconsin volleyball-record 4,335 fans showed up expecting to see the lOth-ranked Badgers sweep the ninth-place Gophers. The crowd was quickly quieted, though, as Minnesota opened up a 13-4lead in game one and held on for a 15-9 win. The Badgers regrouped to win the next two games 15- 4 and 15-3. In game four, Minnesota made a late bid to send the match to a fifth game. Down 12-14, the Gophers held serve but two straight Minnesota net violations resulted in a sideout and match point for Wisconsin.

D.T. MOVES UP ON THE CHARTS- Senior co-captain DAWN THOMPSON (PORTAGE, Mil

NORTHERN) hit .278 and had a team-leading 14 kills against Northwestern. She also recorded nine digs • , and four block assists. Thompson had three more blocks against Wisconsin and with 427 total blocks in her career, needs just four to pass Lori Miller and move into third place on the all-time Gopher list 1 Thompson has 110 block assists this season, tying her with Martie Larsen for the third-most block assists in one season. Larsen had 110 in 1983. Thompson's 122 total blocks this season are just five shy of her career high of 127, set last season. --more Minnesota Women's Sports News -3-3-3-3- 11/19/90

VOLLEYBALL CONTINUED-- AHLQUISTTOPS300DIGS- SophomoreEMILY AHLQUIST(PLYMOUTH,MN/ARMSTRONG) had 11 digs against Northwestern and 18 against Wisconsin to raise her season total to 306, tops on the team • and the ninth-best Gopher season total since 1985 (when the current dig definition was established). Ahlquist needs 26 more digs in Minnesota's last two matches to move past Lori Miller's 1989 total of 331, which is currently the fifth-highest season total by a Gopher since 1985.

MORE INDIVIDUAL NOTES- Sophomore ANGIE HANNA (FORT WAYNE, IN/CARROLL) led Minnesota with 17 kills against Wisconsin. Sophomore DENISE HAGLER (FORT WAYNE, IN/ WAYNE) had 13 kills against Northwestern. Sophomore HEATHER BENNING (WINONA, MN/ WINONA) hit .293 on the weekend (13 kills, one error and 41 attack attempts in the two matches).

A LOOK AT MARQUETTE-- The Warriors are coming off an 11-17 fmish in 1989-90. Marquette was 9-8 in Midwestern Collegiate Conference play, good for a third-place finish. Marquette returns nine players from last year's squad, which closed out the season by losing to Butler 88-87 in overtime in the conference tournament. WATCH FOR-- Senior forward-center Heidi Ach, the fifth-leading scorer in Marquette history, led the Warriors in scoring last season with a 13.3 points/game average. Although she was sidelined for six games due to an ankle injury, Ach consistently ranked in the top 20 among NCAA statistical leaders in field goal percentage. She finished the season with a 57.6 percent accuracy rate from the floor. Junior forward Tammy Shain, who starred for Mankato East High School as a prep player, is a native of Eagle Lake, Minn. Shain ranked second in scoring for the Warriors with a 10.9 points/game average last season. She also led Marquette in rebounding in 10 games, reaching the double-figure mark twice. She ended the year with a 6.3 rebounds/game average. The Warriors will have two games under their belts by the time they hit the Williams Arena floor. They play host to the WarriorFest in Milwaukee, Wis. over the Thanksgiving weekend with competition from Austin Peay, Florida and William & Mary. THE COACH-- Jim Jabir (Nazareth '84) is in his first season at Marquette after fashioning a 50-29 (.633) record in three seasons at Siena (N.Y.) College.

Kansas returns no less than 10 players from last year's squad, which should aid in their run for a Big Eight Conference title. Heading up the list of Kansas returnees is leading rebounderTerrilyn Johnson, the only J ayhawk to start all29 games last season. The 5-11 junior forward averaged 7.2 points/game and 7.9 rebounds/game last season. Junior guard Kay Kay Hart, who averaged 5.7 points and 2.9 assists/game last season, directs the Jays from the point. Junior forward Danielle Shareefrounds out the list of returning starters and is the team's leading returning scorer after averaging 8.0 points/game last season. Shareef was a member of the Big Eight Conference select team that traveled to Czechoslovakia over the summer. Kansas opened its season over the holiday weekend at the very competitive Iowa Tournament, among Iowa, LSU and UCLA. THE COACH-- Marian Washington (West Chester St. '70) begins her 18th season as head coach at Kansas. She carries a 302-197 (.605) career record with the Lady Jays and will be coaching in her 502nd game on Wednesday. THE SERIES-- Kansas leads the series 10-1 and won the last meeting between the teams, 64-60 on Dec. 11, 1988 in Lawrence, Kan.

A LOOK AT THE GOPHERS-- "Believe to Achieve" is the theme of the 1990-91 season for the Min nesota basketball team, under the direction of new head coach Linda Hill-MacDonald. "The primary focus of this season will be to create a winning attitude," says Hill-MacDonald. "We need to help these athletes realize what kind of a commitment it takes to win. They want to win, but they have to know that they can win and what has to be done in order to win. That's commitment." The Gophers will be starting fresh in 1990, not only with a new coach, but with several new faces after the graduation of six seniors from last year's squad that finished 8-20 overall and 3-15 in the Big Ten, tied with Wisconsin for ninth place. •

TOP RETURNERS-- Senior Ellen Kramer, the top returning scorer from a year ago, has earned honorable mention all-Big Ten honors the last two seasons while leading the team in scoring and rebounding. Junior Holly Thompson returns after a year of starting experience at the point guard slot. Junior Dana Joubert and sophomore Stacy Carver both saw action at the U.S. Olympic Festival trials over the summer and will be counted on to bolster the Gopher front court this season. Junior guard Jenny Zeller also served in a reserve role last season, but her defensive prowess should earn her additional min utes this year. Sophomore Jenny Dillon and freshmen Nikki Coates and Crystal Flint have all spent one season as redshirts due to knee injuries, but should be able to see more court time this season. The recruiting class of 1990 is headed by 6-0 center/forward Carol Ann Shudlick, a metro star from Apple Valley. Mary Klotzbeecher, a 5-7 point guard, and Nancy Alexander, a 5-11 guard/forward, were the first two student-athletes to sign with the Minnesota program under Hill-MacDonald. TENNIS

NETTERS OFF UNTIL JANUARY- The Minnesota women's tennis team did not compete in last week's Dupont Clay Court qualifying rounds in Panama City, Fla. as originally scheduled. The Gophers' will resume the season on Jan. 17 with a home dual match against North Carolina State.

SCHEDULE NOV. 23-28 Fri. Nov. 23 VOLLEYBALL vs. INDIANA (Williams Arena) 7:30p.m. Sat. Nov. 24 VOLLEYBALL vs. OHIO STATE (Williams Arena) 7:30p.m.

GOPHERSCLOSESEASONWITHINDIANA,OHIOSTATE-TheMinnesotawomen'svolleyball team ends its 1990 season with two home Big Ten matches. The Gophers will host Indiana Friday at 7:30 p.m., followed by a match with Ohio State Saturday at 7:30p.m. Saturday's match is Senior Day, with Gopher seniors JODI ROGERS (VILLA PARK, IL/WILLOWBROOK) and DAWN THOMPSON (PORTAGE, MI/NORTHERN) being honored in their final matches at Williams Arena.

HOOSIER HAPPENINGS- Indiana (16-10, 8-8 Big Ten) still has postseason aspirations, especially in terms of the Women's Intercollegiate Volleyball Championship. However, the Hoosiers may have to win both matches this weekend to assure both a winning record in Big Ten play and a postseason berth. The .500 record in conference play should surprise nobody, as the Hoosiers have fmished at .500 in the Big Ten both of the past two seasons. Last weekend, Indiana defeated Purdue in four games and lost to Illinois in five games. WATCH FOR-Senior outside hitter Diane Hoereth had a big weekend against Purdue and lllinois, collecting 45 kills and 38 digs in the two matches. She leads the Hoosiers with 4.38 kills/game, 3.05 digs/ • game and a .280 hitting percentage. Junior outside hitter Mary Jo Herrett led Indiana with 22 kills against Purdue and is the second leading hitter for the Hoosiers with 3.51 kills/game. Senior setter Joy Jordan is averaging 13.17 assists/game. THE SERIES -Minnesota leads the series 13-7. Indiana won the first meeting of the year 15-7, 15- 6, 15-7 at Bloomington, Ind. behind Hoereth' s 19 kills. KAREN LUSHINE (ROSEVILLE, MN) had nine kills to lead Minnesota's hitters.

BUCKEYE BULLETIN-Ohio State (21-7, 13-3 Big Ten) enters the final weekendofregularseason play as the only team with a chance to catch Wisconsin for the league title. However, that chance is very slim. Wisconsin (26-7, 14-2 Big Ten) leads the Buckeyes by one full game and holds the tie-breaker advantage, having beaten Ohio State twice. Wisconsin would have to lose at both Michigan schools and Ohio State would have to win at Iowa and Minnesota for the Buckeyes to repeat as Big Ten champions. Regardless, the 15th-ranked Buckeyes are likely on their way to their second consecutive NCAA tournament. The benh was probably cinched with their two home-coun victories last weekend over lllinois and Purdue. WATCH FOR-Senior outside hitter Holly 0 'Leary was the Big Ten Player of theYear in 1989 and is a candidate to repeat in 1990. O'Leary leads the Buckeyes with 4.28 kills/game and is Ohio State's all time kill leader with 1,726. She had 20 kills in Ohio State's victory over Purdue Saturday night. Junior middle blocker Leisa Wissler is second on the club in both kills (2.72/game) and blocks (.81/game). Weissler led Ohio State with 18 kills in the Friday night victory over Illinois. Senior setter Audrey DiPronio runs the Buckeye offense, averaging 11.48 assists/game. THE SERIES-Ohio State leads the series 14-11 and has taken the last three matches from Minnesota. Earlier this season, the Buckeyes swept the Gophers 15-4, 15-11, 15-10 in the conference opener for both • teams at Columbus. O'Leary had 14 kills to lead Ohio State and Lushine had eight kills to lead Minnesota. --more Minnesota Women's Sports News -2-2-2-2- 11/19/90

GOPHERS BATTLE, BUT FALL TO WILDCATS, BADGERS- Minnesota (8-24, 2-14) may have been the underdog in matches at Northwestern Friday and at Wisconsin Saturday but the Gophers did not play like it. Minnesota took both teams to four games before succumbing to the more experienced Wildcats and Badgers. Northwestern opened Friday's match with 15-4 and 15-10 wins, outhitting the Gophers .444 to .179 in game one and .405 to .154 in game two. Minnesota outhit the 'Cats .283 to .213 in game three and capitalized with a 15-13 win. The Gophers could not maintain the pace, however, and hit just .136 in game four as the Wildcats hung on to win the game 15-13 and the match 3-1. On Saturday, a Wisconsin volleyball-record 4,335 fans showed up expecting to see the lOth-ranked Badgers sweep the ninth-place Gophers. The crowd was quickly quieted, though, as Minnesota opened up a 13-4lead in game one and held on for a 15-9 win. The Badgers regrouped to win the next two games 15- 4 and 15-3. In game four, Minnesota made a late bid to send the match to a fifth game. Down 12-14, the Gophers held serve but two straight Minnesota net violations resulted in a sideout and match point for • Wisconsin.

D.T. MOVES UP ON THE CHARTS- Senior co-captain DAWN THOMPSON (PORTAGE, Mil NORTHERN) hit .278 and had a team-leading 14 kills against Northwestern. She also recorded nine digs and four block assists. Thompson had three more blocks against Wisconsin and with 427 total blocks in her career, needs just four to pass Lori Miller and move into third place on the all-time Gopher list Thompson has 110 block assists this season, tying her with Martie Larsen for the third-most block assists in one season. Larsen had 110 in 1983. Thompson's 122 total blocks this season are just five shy of her career high of 127, set last season.

AHLQUISTTOPS300DIGS- SophomoreEMILY AHLQUIST(PLYMOUTH,MN/ARMSTRONG) had 11 digs against Northwestern and 18 against Wisconsin to raise her season total to 306, tops on the team and the ninth-best Gopher season total since 1985 (when the current dig defmition was established). Ahlquist needs 26 more digs in Minnesota's last two matches to move past Lori Miller's 1989 total of 331, which is currently the fifth-highest season total by a Gopher since 1985.

MORE INDIVIDUAL NOTES- Sophomore ANGIE HANNA (FORTWA YNE, IN/CARROLL) led Minnesota with 17 kills against Wisconsin. Sophomore DENISE HAGLER (FORT WAYNE, IN/ WAYNE) had 13 kills against Northwestern. Sophomore HEATHER BENNING (WINONA, MN/ WINONA) hit .293 on the weekend (13 kills, one error and 41 attack attempts in the two matches).

COACH SCHLEUDER-Minnesota's STEPHANIE SCHLEUDER (Minnesota-Duluth '72) is in her 18th season as a volleyball coach. She has an overall record of 477-230 (.675). The last nine seasons at • Minnesota, Schleuder has compiled a record of 179-118 (.603) and a Big Ten record of 80-65 (.552).

SCHLEUDER NAMED ASSIST ANT COMMISSIONER -- Schleuder has been named assistant commissioner of volleyball for the 1991 U.S. Olympic Festival in Los Angeles.

BASKETBALL

A LOOK AT MARQUETTE-- The Warriors (1-1) are coming off an 11-17 finish in 1989-90. They • finished 9-8 in Midwestern Collegiate Conference play, good for a third-place finish. Marquette dropped a 99-70 contest to Florida Saturday in the championship game of the WarriorFest in Milwaukee, Wis. after defeating Austin Peay 73-67 in Friday's first round. PLAYERS TO WATCH -- Senior forward Heidi Ach, the fifth-leading scorer in Marquette history, led the Warriors in scoring last season with a 13.3 points/game average. Although she was sidelined for six games due to an ankle injury, Ach consistently ranked in the top 20 among NCAA statistical leaders in field goal percentage.

BASKETBALL CONTINUED -- GOPHERS DEFEATED BY GEORGIA TECH IN DIAL CHAMPIONSHIP- Minnesota went into • Saturday's Dial Classic championship game hoping to win its fourth Dial Classic title in nine years and first since 1988. Visiting Georgia Tech put a damper on those hopes, though, by opening up a 46-28 halftime lead enroute to a 84-69 win. Minnesota (2-2) defeated Illinois-Chicago 79-59 Friday to earn the right to play Georgia Tech, which defeated South Florida 98-58 in Friday's first game. South Florida defeated Illinois-Chicago 73-72 in the consolation final on Saturday.

MINNESOTA BEATS MARQUETTE IN OPENER, FALLS TO KANSAS- The Gophers gave Hill MacDonald a win in her first game as head coach, defeating visiting Marquette 80-65 on Monday, Nov. 26.

HILL MacDONALD'S RECORD AFTER FOUR- Hill-MacDonald, in herfrrst year as Gopher coach and 11th year of collegiate coaching, now has a lifetime record of 168-132 (.560) in addition to her 2-2 (.500) mark at Minnesota.

Shudlick leads Minnesota in scoring ( 18.5 average), Kramer is second (16.5 average) and Carver is third (13.3). All three of those players are native Minnesotans.

CARVER FAST OUT OF THE "SHOOT"- Need a quick basket? Call Stacy Carver, the Gophers' resident expert on instant offense. Whether coming off the bench or starting at guard or forward (she did all three in Minnesota's first four games), the 6-1 sophomore has displayed a knack for racking up points in short periods of time. She scored the Gophers' first basket of the season on a layup one second into • Minnesota's opener against Marquette. Against Kansas, Carver scored 13 points in the game's frrst 9:14 to help Minnesota jump out to a 16-6 lead over the Jayhawks. Even more impressive was Carver's performance off the bench against lllinois-Chicago. She entered the game with 11:15 to play in the half and shortly thereafter went on a scoring spree, with 12 points in a 3:03 span. Her 12 points led all players at the half. In Saturday's game against Georgia Tech, Carver had 10 points at the half, leading Minnesota in scoring at intermission for the third straight time.

JOUBERT CRASHING THE BOARDS - Junior forward DANA JOUBERT (DETROIT, MI/ST. MARTIN DePORRES) is playing an average of 26 minutes a game and making the most of it. She leads Minnesota in rebounding (8.8 average) and is averaging 13.6 rebounds per 40 minutes. Sixteen of Joubert's 35 rebounds have come on the offensive end. Her career-best 14 rebounds against Marquette were a team season high. Shudlick is second on the team with 31 rebounds (7 .8 average) and Kramer is third with 28 (7.0 average). Carver has also contributed on the boards, with 24 rebounds (6.0 average) to her credit.

GYMNASTICS

GYMNASTICS TEAM OPENS SEASON AT WISCONSIN QUADRANGULAR - The Gopher women's gymnastics team will face an early test in its opener Saturday in Madison, Wis., going against three solid opponents in Arizona, Michigan and host Wisconsin in the first of 12 regular season meets for Minnesota. Arizona has qualified for the 12-team NCAA championships in each of the last four years, finishing lOth last year after finishing 11th in 1989, ninth in 1988 and 11th in 1987. Wisconsin improved from sixth to fourth in the Big Ten last year and Michigan improved from seventh to sixth. Both teams are expected to show continued improvement this season. The Gophers, meanwhile, will renew their quest for a team berth in the NCAA championships and attempt to regain the Big Ten championship. Last year's squad, the highest-scoring team in school history with a 185.04 meet average, missed qualifying for nationals by less than half a point and finished with the 16th-best national qualifying score in the nation. After winning the Big Ten title in 1988 and 1989, the Gophers slipped to third last year despite scoring 187.45 to equal the 1989 team's meet-winning mark. Minnesota capped the 1990 season by scoring a school-record 188.65 while finishing third in the NCAA Central regional championship at Williams Arena. The Gophers will play host to Winona State on Jan. 20 in the first of six home meets on the schedule.

GYMNASTICS CONTINUED-- ZOLKOWSKI,JUHASZ-NAGYLEADRETURNERS- Seniorco-captainCATHYZOLKOWSKI e (NEENAH, WI/ARMSTRONG-NEENAH) is Minnesota's top returning all-arounder. A two-time all-Big Ten performer on the floor exercise, she finished in a three-way tie for la~i season's Big Ten floor exercise title with a 9.70 score. Zolkowski and sophomore MONIK.4.. JUHASZ-NAGY (BUDAPEST, HUN GARYNOROSMARTY) set a new school vaulting record in last season's Central region meet, with each scoring a 9.775. Alsovyingforspots in the Minnesota lineup will be junior IKA LINDHOLM (WINNETKA, ll)YORK COMMUNITY) and sophomore KRISTIN ALLST ADT (APPLE VALLEY, MN). Lindholm has competed on the uneven bars in every Minnesota meet the last two seasons. Allstadt averaged 9.23 on the floor exercise last season and also competed frequently on the vault and balance beam.

FOUR NEWCOMERS EXPECTED TO CONTRIDUTE- Three freshmen and a sophomore transfer joined the Gopher squad this fall and all have a chance to compete immediately. Sophomore ZSUZSA CSISZTU (PILISBOROSJENO, HUNGARYNOROSMARTY) is the leading candidate for an all-around spot. Csisztu, a transfer from the Hungarian University of Physical Education, competed for Hungary in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, S. Korea. She returned to Hungary for the break following fall quarter to train with the Hungarian senior national team. Also contending for spots will be freshmen KELLY McCONNELL (FORT LAUDERDALE, FL/ST. THOMAS AQUINAS) and JESSICA WOLF (OSHKOSH, WI/WEST), who have experience in club-level national competition, and freshman JENNY KRALING (PLYMOUTH, MN/HOPKINS), the 1989 Minnesota State AA High School all-around champion.

NESS, KETCHER OUT - The Gophers were dealt a setback when sophomore DAWN KETCHER (BROOKLYN PARK, MN/P ARK CENTER) suffered a mild hyperextension of her left knee in the team's practice meet Dec. 28 while doing her dismount on the uneven bars. Ketcher, the team's freshman of the A year last season, is expected to be out for three weeks and could miss the first four meets. She joins senior W co-captain KATHY NESS (COON RAPIDS, MN) on the sidelines. Ness, the team's top returner on the uneven bars and balance beam, incurred a tibial plateau fracture to her right knee in practice in early December and will likely miss the entire regular season. She may return in time for the March 22 Big Ten championship meet.

NOTING HEAD COACH KATALIN DELI- Gopher head coach Katalin Deli is in her 18th year as Minnesota head coach. Her overall coaching record is 268-155-1 (.634 ), including conference and regional meets. She has coached Gopher gymnasts to five of the last nine Big Ten all-around titles.

GOPHERS HONE ROUTINES IN DEC. 28 PRACTICE MEET- Minnesota got its first chance to compete in front of judges in a practice meet on Dec. 28 at Williams Arena, with several individuals performing well. Zolkowski was the top scorer with a 36.60 all-around score that included marks of9.40 on the vault and 9.30 on the balance beam. Other top scores were Wolf's 9.20 on the vault and 9.10 on the floor exercise, McConnell's 9.10 on the beam and Ketcher's 9.10 on the vault.

BADGER BRIEFS-Seventh-year head coach Terry Bryson led Wisconsin to its best season since 1986 last year as the Badgers finished fourth in the Big Ten. A strong start earned Wisconsin an early national ranking of lOth and the team finished the year with six of the top 10 team scores in school history. WATCH FOR-Sophomore Elizabeth Mahaney is the defending Big Ten all-around champion. She scored 38.15 to win the title and break a four-year string in which a Gopher gymnast either won or shared the title. Mahaney and senior Michele Hernandez both qualified for the NCAA Central region champion ship as individuals last year. Hernandez finished seventh all-around at regionals. Freshman Sherri Dillehay of Minnetonka, Minn. won the 1990 Minnesota State AA High School all-around title. Another Minnesota e native, freshman Susan Swigart of Eden Prairie, was a Class I national participant from 1987-89. SERIES-The Gophers hold 23-4lead but the Badgers have been tough on Minnesota in recent years, winning four often since 1987. Last year Wisconsin beat Minnesota 185.30-184.40 in a Jan. 20 triangular at Williams Arena, but the Gophers topped the Badgers 185.55-183.15 in Florida's Shands Invitational on March 9 and 187.45-186.05 in the Big Ten championship meet on March 23. --more Sports Information OfficEJ.n 191 Contact: Angie Hultman (612) 624-3335 Fax 624-8018

a 189.70 team score after posting a .,.., ... .,v•.• - ... finishing lOth at the NCAA championships. WATCH FOR - Senior Diane Monty led the Wildcats last year with a 38.32 regional qualifying average that was 15th in the nation. Sophomore Anna Basaldua is only 4-11 but she stood tall with her 38.07 regional qualifying average last year as a rookie. Junior Diana Rendall of Bloomington trained at the Delis' Olympic Gymnastics Academy prior to enrolling at Arizona. She was third on the team last year with a regional qualifying average of 37.85. SERIES- Arizona leads 8-1 with the last meeting being a 182.70-17 4.00 Wildcat win in the Brigham Young Invitational Jan. 16, 1988. The Gophers only win came in the first meeting between the schools, 140.70-136.55 in the UCLA Invitational on Feb. 29, 1980.

WOLVERINE WANDERINGS- Second-year head coach Beverly Fry's Michigan squad set a school record with its 1990 top team score (184.85). Fry has said the team has a goal of finishing among the Big Ten's top three this year and she hopes the team's four returning Big Ten event finalists and seven incoming freshmen will enable the Wolverines to do just that. Last year Michigan finished sixth in the Big Ten after finishing seventh the two previous years. WATCH FOR-Sophomore Debbie Geiger was the Wolverines' top all-arounder last season and set the school balance beam record (9.60). Junior co-captain Diane Armento is a two-time Big Ten finalist on the balance beam and junior co-captain Laura Lund beck of Burnsville tied the Michigan floor exercise record (9.60) while qualifying for the Big Ten floor exercise finals. SERIES - Minnesota has won 11 straight and leads 13-2. The Gophers won twice last year, 187.45- 184.85 in the Big Ten championship and 185.50-180.60 in a March 2 dual at Ann Arbor, Mich.

MINNESOTA RECENTLY-- The Gophers (4-8, 0-2 Big Ten) will be happy to return to the friendly confines of Williams Arena after playing seven of their last eight games on the road. Minnesota suffered its 21st straight Big Ten road loss Sunday in Madison, Wis. as they fell to the Badgers 102-77. Things were just as rough against 11th-ranked Northwestern at Welsh-Ryan Arena Friday in the two teams' Big Ten openers. Northwestern defeated Minnesota by 41 points, 90-49. The Gophers have not won a Big Ten game away from Williams Arena since March 7, 1988 when they defeated Wisconsin 73-71 at the UW Fieldhouse. Last season, Minnesota finished in a ninth-place tie with the Badgers in the conference race with a 3-15 record.

Minnesota continues to run into bad weather on the road - during the team's bus ride from Evanston, Ill. to Madison, Wis.

THE COACH-- Minnesota first-year head coach Linda Hill-MacDonald is 170-138 (.552) in her 11th season as a collegiate head coach, including a 4-8 (.333) mark at Minnesota.

e GYMNASTICS

GOPHERS OPEN HOME SEASON SUNDAY AGAINST WINONA STATE - The last time Minnesota's women's gymnastics team competed at Williams Arena, the stakes were much higher. The date was April?, 1990, the meet was the NCAA Central region championship, and the opponents included several nationally ranked teams vying for a spot in the NCAA championships. Minnesota finished third in the meet and came up just short of qualifying for the NCAA's big meet. Sunday the Gophers will be back at Williams Arena, beginning the home part of a season the team hopes will be even more successful than last season. Winona State will be the opponent for the 2 p.m. meet. It is the third straight year Minnesota has opened its home season against Winona State.

WINONA STATE NOTES-The Warriors opened their season Saturday with a home triangular against Northern lllinois and Hamline. Northern Illinois won the meet with a 180.05 score, with Winona State finishing second with a 169.20. Hamline was third with a 164.20. Dr. Stephen Juaire has been head coach at Winona State for 14 years. WATCH FOR- Seven Minnesotans are on the Winona State roster. The Warriors' top all-arounder is junior Nikki Setnicker from White Bear Lake. She scored 35.40 in Saturday's meet, including a 9.20 score on the floor exercise. Junior Carolyn Tobin also competed all-around, scoring 31.45, including a 9.55 on the balance beam. SERIES- Minnesota leads 10-0. The Gophers won 179.10- 171.50 last year and 178.40-173.25 in 1988.

CSISZTU WINS ALL-AROUND IN DEBUT, GOPHERS SET SCHOOL RECORD- Sophomore transfer ZSUZSA CSISZTU (PILISBOROSJENO, HUNGARYNOROSMARTY) opened her collegiate career with a flourish, scoring 37.85 to win the individual all-around at Wisconsin's four-team invitational in Madison, Wis. Saturday. Csisztu (pronounced CHISS-too) finished first on the balance beam with a 9. 70, tied for first on the bars with a 9.55 and tied for third on the vault with a 9 .50. Csisztu' s beam score tied for the seventh-highest ever by a Minnesota gymnast. Only former Gophers Marie Roethlisberger (three times) and Shelley Brown (once) and current Gopher KATHY NESS (COON RAPIDS, MN) (twice) have ever scored higher on the beam for Minnesota. The Gophers finished fourth as a team but scored a school-opening meet record 179.25 despite having three gymnasts injured and unable to compete. Wisconsin won the meet with a 184.80 score, upsetting #8 Arizona, which scored 184.60. Michigan, which finished third with a 179.90, defeated Minnesota for the first time since 1982. The Gophers had beaten Michigan in 11 straight meets prior to Saturday.

Sophomore MONIKA JUHASZ-NAGY (BUDAPEST, HUNGARYNOROSMARTY) scored 35.15 all-around with her best score being a 9.15 on the floor exercise.

INJURY UPDATE- Senior co-captain CATHY ZOLKOWSKI (NEENAH, WI/ARMSTRONG NEENAH), who was held out of Saturday's meet with an ankle sprain, is questionable for Sunday's meet. A decision on her availability will likely not be made until Sunday. Sophomore DAWN KETCHER (BROOKLYN PARK, MN!P ARK CENTER) is doubtful for Sunday. She hyperextended her left knee Dec. 28 and will probably return in late January or early February. DID YOU KNOW?- Former Gopher Marie Roethlisberger, who won last year's NCAA uneven bars title, was not the only women's national gymnastics champion to compete at Williams Arena last year.

MINNESOTA RECENTLY-- The Gophers (4-10, 0-4 Big Ten) hoped to snap out of a two-game losing streak after playing seven of their last ten games on the road. That streak increased to four games, however, as Minnesota failed to get its first conference victory of the season. Seventh-ranked Purdue rang up a 106- • 60 victory at Williams Friday and Illinois came away with a 78-60 win Sunday before a live KITN-TV audience. Minnesota will look to break out of a 21-game Big Ten road losing streak this weekend. Last season, Minnesota fmished in a ninth-place tie with the Badgers in the conference race with a 3-15 record.

She needs just eight rebounds to reach the eighth position.

MINNESOTA TOPS WINONA STATE AT HOME, IOWA STATE ON THE ROAD- The Gophers opened their home season with a 181.75-168.45 win over Winona State on Sunday, the third straight year Minnesota has defeated theWarriors in the Gophers' opener. Minnesota followed that with a narrow 182.45- 182.35 win over Iowa State Monday in Ames, Iowa. It was a costly win, however, as Csisztu suffered her knee injury while dismounting from the beam in the team's last event of the night. Minnesota excelled on the balance beam in both meets, scoring 46.00 on the apparatus Sunday and 46.55 Monday. The 46.55 mark is the seventh-best in school history and the best-ever for Minnesota at this stage of the season. The Gophers also posted season-high vault (45.90) and uneven bars (45.70) scores against the Cyclones. Minnesota's strongest events in recent years have been the vault and floor exercise, so the team's early-season beam efforts bode well for the future. --more r \ Minnesota Women's Sports News -4-4-4-4- 1/22/91

GYMNASTICS CONTINUED -- a CSISZTU ROLLS TO TWO MORE ALL-AROUND TITLES - One of the hottest starts ever by a • Gopher gymnast came to an abrupt halt Monday when Csisztu was injured. After making her debut with an all-around win in Wisconsin's four-team invitational on Jan. 12, the sophomore scored a season-high 37.95 to take all-around honors against Winona State Sunday and 37.50 to win the all-around at Iowa State on Monday. Her scores included her second straight 9.70 on the balance beam and a season-high 9.50 on the floor exercise Sunday and a season-high 9.60 on the bars Monday. Against Winona State, Csisztu was first on the bars, beam and floor exercise, and against Iowa State she was first on the vault and bars.

WOLF, McCONNELL MAKING THEIR MARK- Freshmen JESSICA WOLF (OSHKOSH, WI/ WEST) and KELLY McCONNELL (FORT LAUDERDALE, FL/ST. THOMAS AQUINAS) have been improving rapidly and putting up the scores to prove it. Wolf finished second all-around with a 36.65 score against Winona State that included a team-best 9.55 on the vault and a 9.45 on the floor exercise. McConnell's consistence has been instrumental in the team's emergence on the beam. She scored 9.55 on the beam Monday after posting identical9 .25 scores in her first two outings on the event. She had a personal best 35.95 all-around score against Iowa State.

ALLSTADT, JUHASZ-NAGY COMING ON - Sophomores KRISTIN ALLSTADT (APPLE VALLEY, MN) and MONIKA JUHASZ-NAGY (BUDAPEST, HUNGARY/VOROSMARTY) have made important contributions to Minnesota's steadily improving team scores. Allstadt scored a career-best 35.90 all-around against Winona State, including a 9.30 on the floor exercise, and came back with another 9.30 on the floor and a 9.30 on the vault the next night. Juhasz-Nagy, after a slow start in Minnesota's first two meets, hit a career-best 9.55 on the beam at Iowa State as well as a personal-season high 9.45 on the uneven bars.

INJURY REPORT- Senior co-captain CATHY ZOLKOWSKI (NEENAH, WI/ARMSTRONG NEENAH), still recovering from a sprained ankle, is almost ready to go all-around. She competed on the bars (8.65) and beam (9.40) at Iowa State after competing on the beam (8.95) and performing a bars (9.10) exhibition against Winona State. Freshman JENNY KRALING (PLYMOUTH, MN/HOPKINS) missed both meets with tendonitis in an achilles tendon but is expected back soon. Sophomore DAWN KETCHER (BROOKLYN PARK, MN/PARK CENTER), out with a hyperextended left knee, could be back by Minnesota's Feb. 2 meet at UCLA. BASKETBALL

Tideback became eligible Jan. 15 after sitting out the spring and fall semesters due to NCAA transfer rules. She scored eight points and tallied four rebounds in her 13-minute debut against Ohio State. Senior point guard Steph Schueler directs the Iowa offense.

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

NEW KID ON THE BLOCK·· Minnesota has added a player to its roster in YOLANDA MURPHY (ST. PAUL, MN/CHRIST'S HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH). The 6-foot freshman joined the Gopher roster as a walk-on and became eligible two weeks ago.

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

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

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

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