Summer incident leads to assault charge against hockey senior Fox

Michigan senior defenseman Chris Fox was charged yesterday with "assault with intent to do great bodily harm" stemming from an incident that occurred on June 15, 1997.

A Knight-mare: 'M' falls, 80-62

BLOOMINGTON - For once, maybe they didn't have to play the game. In fact, maybe the Wolverines shouldn't have even bothered to make the trip here in the first place. History was on the side of the Hoosiers last night, and the Wolverines could do nothing to stop it.

Knight is the master, and he did it yet again

BLOOMINGTON - Brian Ellerbe is new to the Big Ten, so he deserves a break. But as for the rest of the Wolverines, they forgot the biggest factor in a Michigan-Indiana basketball game: the other team has Bobby Knight. Maybe last night's 80-62 Michigan defeat can be chalked up to Ellerbe's naivete, but that hardly seems fair. After all, he did coach three seasons at Loyola (Md.) facing hated rival Towson. Seriously though, any disdain the Michigan coach feels for his players is justified.

Despite losing GLI, 'M' leads conference

At the beginning of the season, Michigan captain Matt Herr warned that the Wolverines could lose 10 games in the first half of the season. Fortunately, Herr's concerns haven't become reality.

Turco ties NCAA record

As the winter-break crowd of 6,495 filed out of Yost Ice Arena on Jan. 3, a boy asked his father, "Can I play goalie next time, dad?" After hearing the crowd chant "Marty, Marty" and seeing Michigan goalie Marty Turco's teammates mob him in the crease following his 32-save shutout of Ohio State, who wouldn't want to get between the pipes?

Women's basketball splits Big Ten games

While most Michigan students were busy celebrating a football national championship over the semester break, it was business as usual for the women's basketball team. The Wolverines (2-2 Big Ten, 10-4 overall) won four of their six games over the break and opened the Big Ten season with two wins and two losses. If it weren't for a heroic overtime effort by Penn State on Sunday, Michigan could be 3-1 in the conference.
