Season Ends on Positive Note with Consolation Win 6-4 Win Over Stanford Closes Out 2002 Campaign ST. LOUIS, Missouri -- A day after a season-ending loss can be a difficult time to play for some teams, and this was true for both 6th-seeded Stanford and 4th-seeded Michigan today at the USLIA National Championships consolation round. Michigan lost a tough game to 5th-seeded Brigham Young, 10-3, and Stanford saw a 7-2 lead disappear in a 10-9 overtime loss to 3rd-seeded Colorado State. However, the two teams still played for fun in an exhibition-style game that featured shortened quarters and more frequent substitution. The Wolverines (18-3) built a 3-0 lead after the first quarter and held on in the second half for a 6-4 win. Junior midfielder Chip Thomas (Tenafly, NJ/Dwight-Englewood) led Michigan with two goals and junior attackman Sloan Buchan-McGilliard (Ann Arbor, MI/Pioneer) added a goal and an assist. Freshman midfielder Mike O'Leary (St. Louis, MO/Clayton) also scored a goal in front of a home crowd. Every healthy Michigan player saw game action.
NOTES ● Michigan and Stanford's last meeting was in the 2000 season, when the Wolverines topped the Cardinal 12-7 in Palo Alto. ● The Wolverines won 8 of 14 face-offs, and five different players took at least one. ● In semifinal action today, 3rd-seeded Colorado State held off a comeback by 7th-seeded Cal-Santa Barbara to win, 12-9. 1st-seeded Sonoma State topped 5th-seeded Brigham Young 14-10 in the other semifinal. Colorado State and Sonoma State will meet in the championship game at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. ● Michigan's 2002 season ends with an 18-3 overall record.
QUOTES
UM Head Coach John PaulOn the game overall: "These games, after a tournament loss, are always tough to get up for. We've been in Stanford's position (having just lost a one-goal heartbreaker in the quarterfinals) the past three years. I understand their reluctance, but you have to suck it up and play with some pride in these games. It's a great opportunity to set a tone for next year and send the seniors off right."
