Former Michigan goaltender Marty Turco and Michigan's 1998 NCAA championship hockey season received some closure last night.
In a defining moment for Michigan players, fans and coaches, Turco returned to Yost Ice Arena to help raise the 1998 NCAA championship banner before a CCHA game against Lake Superior.
Legends, hopefuls relive dream
In a physical CCHA opener last night, the Michigan hockey team defeated Lake Superior, 2-0, at Yost Ice Arena.
Pregame emotion gave rise to a penalty-ridden first period, as six Lakers and two Wolverines were sent to the box. Michigan capitalized early on a four-on-three power play when senior assistant captain Dale Rominski took a feed from Scott Crozier to dump in the 1-0 goal.Emotion helps 'M' outmuscle Lakers
Two different teams showed up to play volleyball at Cliff Keen Arena on Friday night. But it wasn't just Michigan's opponent who changed for the seventh annual Rock the House game.

KALAMAZOO - To say that everything went the way of the Wolverines in Saturday's Michigan Intercollegiate would be to stretch the truth.

Penn State proves too much for 'M'
The No. 11 Michigan field hockey team entered this weekend atop the Big Ten. To stay there, it needed to defeat the two teams competing for the distnction - No. 8 Ohio State and No. 6 Penn State.
Their 1-0 victory over Ohio State, and 4-2 loss to Penn State left the Wolverines in a tie with the Buckeyes and Lions for the Big Ten lead.
Field hockey youth movement paying off
Youth is an attribute that has haunted many teams in collegiate athletics. Often youth is used as an excuse for younger players making mistakes, or as a sign for the future. Michigan's field hockey team doesn't use youth as an excuse, instead it uses it to win games.

Lauren Oppenlander's dad has always enjoyed waterskiing. The rest of the family likes it, too. But, living out near Kalamazoo, there never were many spots suitable for practicing. The closest place was a good 45 minutes away, and the water there tended to be choppy, anyway.
It all started with a little spray of ice.
Lake Superior center Jeff Attard, charging hard while following the puck into the glove of Michigan goaltender Josh Blackburn, stopped a little short and abrupt, leaving a few shavings of the Yost Ice Arena surface on Blackburn's jersey and in his face.Hard hitting no problem for Michigan
When you're a young hockey team like Lake Superior, en route to being outshot 38-14 by defending national champion Michigan, you look for every advantage you can get.
Lake Superior coach Scott Borek bought into that theory yesterday, trying to persuade referee Matt Shegos into letting the Lakers' Blaine McCauley off the hook without serving his minor penalty for slashing.Lakers' Borek can't fool Shegos

Only one record remains for Berendowsky: Berendowsky could hold as many as six Michigan records - and she's only a junior
The Michigan soccer team clearly has its share of Big Ten standouts. In highlighting the three athletes that stand out this season, it would be impossible to overlook the brightest star of all - junior Amber Star Berendowsky.
Yes, "Star" really is her middle name.
