Michigan Sahana hosted That Brown Show Saturday night at the Michigan Theater, featuring student performing

cultures into their routines. In past shows, Maya has performed Indochinese numbers and danced to African beats with drums, as well as incorporating their native dancing techniques. “We try to connect with Hispanic, African-American and Chinese culture,” said Caldwell. “(Maya) takes Bharatanatyam, Kathak or other Indian classical dances and fuses it with ballet, jazz or salsa, for example.” Engineering junior Shreya Raman attended the show to

support her friends who were performing in various groups. “My favorite was Izzat. There was a lot of energy overall, and it was great to experience the different styles of dance and music,” Raman said. “TBS brings together the different teams and provides a sense of belonging in the entire community.” Many of the groups begin choreographing and rehearsing for the show months in advance.

Improv festival aims to reach diverse crowd National, regional and campus groups featured in first annual event By NEIL SCHWARTZ For the Daily

University of Michigan student comedy groups Funny or Die University of Michigan, ComCo and Midnight Book Club hosted the first annual University Improv Festival Saturday at Rackham Auditorium. Featuring a variety of improv comedy groups from Chicago, New York, University of Iowa, George Washington University and the University, organizers said the festival aimed to bring improv comedy to a wider audience. LSA sophomore Kelsey Fox, a member of ComCo, said she hoped the event reached a large and diverse portion of the student body. “We had multiple

demographics that we were reaching out to,” Fox said. “I hope that the average Michigan student had a crazy fun time.” The festival was divided into two parts — one show at 7 p.m. and one at 9 p.m. Student group Funny or Die opened the first part with a sketch about the president of the United States debating with his staff about pre-emptively bombing countries while mispronouncing simple terms such as ‘tank’ and ‘bulletproof,’ drawing a strong response from the crowd to kick off the show. receSs, a student group from George Washington University, performed next, acting out several sketches including a reenactment of the Last Supper featuring a “Jersey Shore”-styled Jesus, a seminar on sexual misconduct in the workplace and a group of friends debating plans for high school graduation. GWU senior Kevin Palermo, a member of receSs, said he enjoys improv comedy because of the excitement from performing it. See IMPROV, Page 3A

Business Prof. Guatam Ahuja, the conference organizer, said the conference was designed to cover a wide range of topics to inform current and future business leaders. It attracted a crowd of largely business students and local businesspeople. MBA student Anand Markande, who was in attendance at the event, said this importance of emerging economies is reflected in the graduate curriculum at the Business School. “Here, we have a lot of courses that have an emerging market theme,” Markande said. “This is especially true of India and China.” On Friday, Chandrasekaran provided opening remarks to an audience of about 100 people at the Robertson Auditorium at the Ross School of Business. He spoke about executive leadership and the role of software, data, and communication in business. “There are distinct characteristics of the recent economic development in India, which are making a revolution in business,” Chandrasekaran said.

David Schafer, Micah Griggs elected CSG president and VP newMICH wins executive spots, but not majority of representative seats

By JENNIFER MEER and TIMOTHY COHN Daily Staff Reporters

LSA juniors David Schafer and Micah Griggs will be the 2016 Central Student Government president and vice president, according to unofficial election results released early Saturday morning.

The results will not be made official until pending litigation is resolved. As of Friday night, four lawsuits were still pending, including several filed minutes before unofficial results were released. The newMICH ticket of Schafer and Griggs defeated Public Policy junior Thomas Hislop, and LSA junior Cameron Dotson from the Your Michigan party by a margin of 59 votes, 3,811 votes to 3,752. LSA senior Keysha Wall and LSA sophomore Chalse Okorom, the Defend Affirmative Action Party presidential candidate and vice presidential candidates,

garnered 390 votes for third place. Overall turnout was at roughly 20 percent of the student body, a 2 percent decrease from last year’s record turnout. This is the second-closest vote margin over the past decade in CSG history, following last year’s five vote victory for Make Michigan. newMICH ran on a platform of expanding student opportunities through mentorship programs, amplifying student voice in CSG, improving connection by instituting scholarships for low income students, and ensuring student well-being and safety See CSG, Page 2A

At the University of Michigan School of Nursing, along with students, you’ll also find Donnie Philips — who appears to be a child with pneumonia. However, Philips is actually one of many robotic mannequins used to teach nursing students. The current Nursing School building, opened last semester houses six simulation rooms — including two pediatrics rooms, two medical surgical rooms and two obstetrical rooms — in which mannequins like Philips are used for classroom exercises. High-fidelity mannequins are operated through a sophisticated software program and have been in use at the University of Michigan since 2008, while low and mid-fidelity mannequins have been in use for much longer.

Jim Harbaugh won fourth place in the University of Michigan’s 2016 executive Central Student Government election, the same standing he achieved in last year’s election, according to unofficial results released Saturday morning. The name Jim Harbaugh, which could refer either to Michigan Football coach Jim Harbaugh or the coach’s son James Harbaugh, an LSA freshman, garnered 215 votes, exactly 100 votes over last year’s total. The Defend Affirmative Action Party garnered third place with 390 votes. After his fourth-place finish last year, Harbaugh the coach tweeted that he was “disappointed” with the results. “Competitive juices flowing!,” the tweet read. “Hat in the ring for 2016 & will campaign w/ #EUTM” Harbaugh also won one of ten representative positions for the Rackham School of Graduate Studies on the assembly, but was disqualified due to not being enrolled in the school.

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) has emerged victorious over Hillary Clinton in the Saturday Democratic nominating contests held in Washington, Alaska and Hawaii, according to BBC News. Sanders won at least 70 percent of the vote in all three states. With 101 delegates, Washington was the biggest prize.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Many variations of the name Harbaugh were also reported, including “JJJJJJIIIMMMMMM HHHAAARRRRBBBBAAAUUUGGGHHHH” and “Coach Harbaugh,” as well as a slate of executive tickets including Harbaugh and the ‘Diag Squirrel’. Other off-campus individuals written in included U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) and Ohio Governor John Kasich (R), candidates for the Democratic and Republican presidential nominations, respectively, as well as Thomas Jefferson and Darth Vader.

Members of George Washington University’s receSs perform a skit about Jersey Jesus at the 1st Annual University of Michigan Improv Festival at Rackham Auditorium Saturday evening.

will be important going forward to achieve his administration’s goals. One piece of the party’s platform in particular — creating a student presence on the Board of Regents — promptedquestions about feasibility and legality in the leadup to the elections. “I think it’s a matter of sitting down with the University administration and having these conversations about our ambitious ideas.” Schafer said. “I think it’s going to be about engaging students, and engaging the administration, and to work on achieving these goals, or at least paving the way for us to achieve these goals.” Griggs also noted that it was important to work not only with the University administration, but also with the newly elected CSG representatives to push their upcoming agenda. According to the unofficial results, Your Michigan representatives will outnumber newMICH representatives 22 to 31 on the new assembly. However, Schafer said he does not foresee any difficulty with that balance. “I think it’s just a matter of sitting down with Your Michigan, and everyone who supported Your Michigan and getting to know them and their communities better, and working with them and their communities,” Schafer said. “Understanding that we come from the same community, cut from the same cloth, and that as Michigan students we are all here for the same reasons, to better this campus and same community.” LSA sophomore Anushka Sarkar, chief programming officer in CSG and newMICH campaign manager, said moving forward they plan to combine the efforts of both parties as they contain similar goals. “I think that it’s also important to ensure that the issues that students supported that students who supported Your Michigan wanted to make progress on are not forgotten over the course of David and Micah’s administration,” Sarkar said.

RESTAURANT From Page 1A the way I want it.” Afternoon Delight prides itself on its consistency, its ingredients and its customer service. Hackett said all the food is homemade, and the staff is very well adjusted to serving customers during lunch rushes. “It gets very hectic during the rushes,” he said. “It’s controlled chaos, though; the staff is organized and prepared for it. Every week it’s the same, and they are more than willing and ready to tackle it. We are big on customer service and consistency.”

News working with the mannequins is a unique but effective experience. “It feels real,” Curl said. “You don’t feel like you’re pretending. You walk in and you hold their hand and when you talk to them, you look them in the eye. It’s really odd thinking about how you act in the sim, because you don’t think about it. You just act like this is a real person. You give them respect. You’re excited when the baby comes out and the baby is fine.” Because it can be difficult to get used to the robotic characteristics and mechanical sounds of the “patients,” students have to sign a fictional contract, agreeing they will treat them as if they were real. “Sometimes it’s a learning curve for students to wrap their head around the fact that they should treat this robot as a real person,” Westfall said. “But what I’ve observed over time is that that is pretty short-lived because the learners we do have here are highly motivated and want to do well and want to understand … They really do act as if the patient is a real person.” Westfall said the mannequins also have the capability of dying, though this is usually part of a planned learning experience so as not to be traumatic for the students. “It’s most important because it’s a great stepping stone to patientcare exposure for the students,” Westfall said. “It provides an excellent lead-in to the real clinical environment and it promotes more confidence once the student is in the real clinical environment.” Nursing junior Rebecca Ford said simulations are something she will never forget. “Nothing sticks in your head the way it does when you screw up in sim,” Ford said. “Being able to get an interactive experience makes you remember things way more than reading it or someone teaching it to you, especially if you messed up the first time. That’s the coolest thing about sim — we’re allowed to mess up and it’s OK; we talk about it and learn from it.”

IMPROV From Page 1A “It’s a really unique way of expressing yourself creatively,” Palermo said. “There’s nothing quite as risk-filled ... it can go really well or really bad. And when it goes really well, there’s nothing more satisfying.” Risk-taking paid off as well for Paperback Rhino, a student group from the University of Iowa, who followed receSs. As part of their performance, the group interviewed a member of the audience and acted out sketches based on that audience member’s activities that day, including getting brunch at Angelo’s, ditching her friends to see a movie and receiving a poem from a stranger. Independent improv comedy groups Wet Bus and Alterboyz, both from Chicago, closed the first part of the festival. Both groups elicited a reaction from the audience by improvising sketches from audience suggestions of cheese and blueberry beer, respectively. Leila Gorstein, a member of Alterboyz, said connecting to the audience is one of the most important parts of improv. “For audience members, it’s really enjoyable to watch people living the human experience in a way that they can relate to and understand,” Gorstein said.

Monday, March 28, 2016 — 3A “That’s the most fun part about it, to take things from your life and use it in a human way.” Midnight Book Club and ComCo, two students groups from the University, opened the second part of the festival. Midnight Book Club improvised a sketch based on the audience topic suggestion of “infant,” while ComCo performed improv games like “Four Square” consisting of four improv sketches based on audience suggestions. Upright Citizens Brigade Touring Company, a New York City group featuring Michigan alum Mike Kelton, ended the festival by improvising a two-act performance. The group’s first act involved the details of an interview with an audience member, a senior from the School of Music, Theatre & Dance, about her experiences at the University, including Greek life, the brutality of acting classes and professors that make students cry. The second act incorporated text messages that audience members volunteered to read aloud. LSA freshman Jeff Sondheimer said he enjoyed the spur-of-the-moment nature of improv. “(Improv comedy) is real genuine comedy that has to be witnessed to really understand and get the value of,” he said. “I think it’s definitely prime

entertainment. It’s good, safe fun.” Fox, one of the coordinators of the event, said the hosts aimed to create a fun, enjoyable atmosphere and promote the camaraderie that comes from improv comedy. “Getting to see each other play and see how other teams approach the same thing is the most rewarding thing,” Fox said. “And for people who are interested in pursuing theater, film, comedy and improv, I hope that they get the chance to meet a bunch of people who are interested in and doing the same things that they want to do ... and take the event as a chance to look at a bunch of people who do things that you love at a very high level.” In addition to performing, the visiting improv groups said they took the festival as an opportunity to improve their routines by learning from the other groups. “Seeing other people’s styles really opens your mind,” Palermo said. “We’re going to be talking a lot about what we saw from the other groups, what we liked about what they did ... and incorporate ideas that drive what they do”. “We all come from a different background,” said Gaby Dixon, another member of Alterboyz. “But making people laugh is a very universal thing.”

ANNIE TURPIN/ Daily

In opposition to Bloomberg

espite my opposition, the University of Michigan announced two weeks ago that former New York City mayor and uber-capitalist Michael Bloomberg will speak at Spring Commencement and receive an honorary degree. In their proposal, University President Mark Schlissel and the Honorary Degree Committee wrote, “Mr. Bloomberg … you are ZAK a role model for civic WITUS leaders, students, and others who aspire to be agents of change. The University of Michigan celebrates your storied career and contributions to business, philanthropy, and effective government, and is proud to present to you the honorary degree, Doctor of Laws.” Following the announcement, The Michigan Daily published an article elaborating the argument behind the University’s above claims (e.g., that Bloomberg is “a role model for civil leaders,” etc.). The article described Bloomberg’s business accomplishments, such as founding the major Wall Street data-tracking company, Bloomberg L.P., as well as his political accomplishments, such as creating a $4.4 billion budget surplus during his mayoralty. Though the article briefly noted that Bloomberg and the New York Police Department’s stop-and-frisk practice was “received with controversy,” it failed to explore the reasons for the controversy. Readers of the Daily have not received the benefit of any sort of dissident reporting on this issue, such as hearing the opinions of students and faculty who might be opposed to Bloomberg’s invitation, and/or reviewing the problematic portions of Bloomberg’s record. Journalists, even on the small scale of a college newspaper, have a responsibility not to simply support those in power (e.g., the University administration, Board of Regents, etc.), but rather to check their authority with reporting that complicates, problematizes and, when appropriate, contradicts the establishment narrative. Until now, the paper has not published any article or op-ed exploring why Bloomberg might not be a good choice for commencement speaker and honorary degree recipient. The reasons that form this dissenting opinion abound, but they are apparently uninteresting to my colleagues. When we choose to model ourselves after someone, we presumably already resemble this person to some extent. Paying attention to his personal identity, we notice that Bloomberg is a super-rich, old white man, an identity that literally no University students share. The University esteems Bloomberg as a role model because he resembles the rich, old white men who have run this University since the time of its inception. In our white supremacist patriarchal capitalist society, a role model is by definition a person with an identity like Bloomberg’s. Hence, within the University’s consciousness, a working-class woman of color, for example, cannot qualify as a role model, and hence isn’t invited to speak at commencement. So despite its incessant protestations that it highly values diversity, the University decided not to actualize that supposed principle, opting instead to continue its long history of supporting the voices of rich, old white men over the voices of young people, women, people of color and poor and working classes. I also find it incredible that anyone familiar with Bloomberg’s record as mayor of New York City could see fit to honor him

with a “Doctor of Laws” degree. The Daily’s article noted that Bloomberg served three terms as mayor of New York City, but it didn’t note that Bloomberg changed the term-limit law during his second term as mayor so that he could serve for a third. When it looked like a fellow NYC billionaire might obstruct Bloomberg’s effort to maintain power, Bloomberg promised his would-be opponent a seat on an influential board in exchange for his consent. It worked, and Bloomberg revised the term-limit law and was eventually elected for a third term — a problematic twist in Bloomberg’s “storied career” as a “civic leader,” but maybe one inconvenient for the University as they coronate him an honorary doctor of the law. (Maybe the more apt honorary degree for Bloomberg would be “surgeon of the law.”) Perhaps the most glaring blemish on Bloomberg’s mayoral record is the New York Police Department’s stop-and-frisk practice (aka stop-question-frisk), whereby police officers who suspect someone (usually an African-American or Hispanic person) of committing a crime may stop, question and then frisk them. Critics of stop-and-frisk emphasize, like I just did, how this policing practice disparately impacts people of color, both in the number of stops and consequent arrests, arguing that stop-and-frisk codifies racial profiling and amounts to a campaign of harassment against Black and brown people. Bloomberg has defended the practice by pointing out that Blacks and Hispanics are far more likely to commit crimes, suggesting that racial profiling might therefore be a legitimate policing practice. This is an example of institutional racism and an instance of the law and its police oppressing people of color while in fact rhetorically denying their oppressiveness. Stop-and-frisk should disqualify Bloomberg as a doctor of the law, assuming that a doctor of the law should value things like civil rights and oppose things like institutional racism. Lastly, one might confusedly conjecture that the University ought, to some degree, express the will of the state it supposedly serves. But alas, no. In the very same month that the majority of Michigan’s Democratic primary voters chose Sen. Bernie Sanders (D– Vt.), the staunch opponent of the billionaire class, as their party’s nominee, the University invited Bloomberg, a multi-billionaire Wall Street capitalist. The University could’ve chosen someone fighting against the current political-economic establishment, the one that many graduating seniors will soon suffer under full time as young, debt-rich wage slaves. Instead, the University chose to invite a fierce market fundamentalist firmly embedded within this country’s (not to mention the world’s) politico-economic establishment. In sum, we might have serious reservations about Michael Bloomberg as this year’s Spring Commencement speaker, not to mention reservations about lauding him as our role model for civic leadership and affecting change. When the University administration writes that “The University of Michigan celebrates (Bloomberg’s) storied career and contributions to business,” and then the Daily corroborates their argument as for why, dissenting opinions like mine (i.e., the opinions of University students who decidedly do not celebrate Bloomberg’s career or contributions but instead condemn them) are erased. Maybe these dissident opinions are, on the whole, wrong, but they deserve some consideration, as do the less flattering aspects of Bloomberg’s record. —Zak Witus can be reached at zakwitus@umich.edu.

Not Waldo anymore

arch 10, 2014, will be a day I never forget. After waiting four years to see my favorite band, Arcade Fire, perform live, they were finally coming to play at The Palace of Auburn Hills for a stop on their Reflektor tour. My friend Ethan and I bought CHRIS tickets and I CROWDER drove so fast to the Palace after school that I broke my record time driving there by 15 minutes. However, because I accidentally bought the wrong ticket, I wasn’t able to get one of those yellow wristbands that allowed you to stand on the floor, looking up on the stage. I told Ethan to go have the time of his life, and he descended toward the stage while I settled with the most expensive ticket in the lower bowl. Initially I was frustrated that I couldn’t let Win Butler’s guitar burst my eardrums from up close, but I was even more anxious that I was around so many people. I was surrounded by strangers with no one to talk to. The band asked that everyone wear either a costume or formal attire to the show. I took my coat off revealing a Where’s Waldo outfit and saw everyone else in dresses and dress clothes. How ironic it was that I wanted someone to find me. Once Arcade Fire started to play, I couldn’t help but sing along. These were the songs that my heart had been humming for years (I know all 69 of their songs by heart). But my mind was hesitant to dance when my body wanted to cut loose. I looked next to both sides of me and saw two women in their late 20s and a middle-aged man looking back at me. We danced and lost our voices singing and I felt awesome being able to be myself around complete strangers. I thought that was the moment I broke out of my shell, but the reality is that I’m still in the

process of emerging out of it. Like my hesitancy to dance at the concert, I have a hesitancy to be fully myself, displaying my complete personality around people I don’t know as well. The people I know well and feel I can completely trust see my inner layers — the layers that express my religion, show how I convey feelings through poetry and do weird things like churn out fake details about a beverage after wafting it like a sommelier (“oak after-tones, French, from the southern Rhône valley, circa 1985”). If the people I am close to enjoy peeling away at these layers and learning more about me, I should be able to do this easily around everyone I meet. But I have struggled with thinking what I have to say won’t be worthwhile. The introverted parts of me have caused me to be quiet, sometimes making me feel out of place around a lot of people, the inner dialogue I’m having with myself giving

As I am breaking out of my shell, I’m attempting to be more outgoing and let go of the reins. me more anxiety because I’m not speaking. I’ve always thought that getting to know people is a process, and it is. But I’ve been thinking about it in the wrong way. I’ve saved more of my personality for closer friends, presenting a held-back version of myself to others that is more reserved, quieter and less prone to sharing my emotions. I have always wanted to share the deeper parts of my life with people until I know them very well — as I should. But there’s nothing wrong with letting other people see the wannabe-sommelier, air-guitaring, dance-loving me.

Sure, if I reveal more of who I am initially, people may think I’m weird, but the reward far outweighs the risk. If I don’t allow my mind to be so reserved and watered down, I have more opportunities to build friendships and show people that I am interested in what they have to say. I enjoy getting to know people, hearing about what intrigues and excites them, but sometimes that doesn’t come across because I don’t speak up. I may have missed out on opportunities to learn more about others, but there will be plenty more. As I’m breaking out of my shell, I’m attempting to be more outgoing and let go of the reins that have slowed me down. I don’t want to filter myself so much. I want to go on adventures and try new things. I want to say yes instead of saying no and retreating to being by myself. Just over two years have passed since the Arcade Fire concert. Instead of being a high schooler next to two women in their late 20s and a middle-aged man, I’m in college, surrounded by extroverts, and I want to be outgoing and free like them. The process won’t be easy, and I’ll always be introverted in a sense, but I’m confident that I can start saying what’s on my mind no matter who is around because that’s what I want to do. I want to be the same person whether I’m next to my best friend or an acquaintance. We introverts can still take time to recharge. But if we’re having trouble being outgoing, we have the freedom to and can be ourselves without fear. It can be very out of our comfort zones, but I believe we can learn the most about ourselves from and by being around others as opposed to alone. I’ve felt alone and different in a crowd of people. But this at this time in my life, I won’t dress up like Waldo. Instead, I’ll always try to just be my real self. — Chris Crowder can be reached at ccrowd@umich.edu.

A little more love and kindness

uring Hillary Clinton’s victory speech after winning the South Carolina primary on February 27, she went bold: “I know it sometimes seems a little odd for someone running for president these days, in this DEREK time, to say we need more love WOLFE and kindness in America,” she said. “But I’m telling you from the bottom of my heart, we do. We do.” This wasn’t the first time I had heard about Clinton’s desire to talk about needing to instill love and kindness in America. BuzzFeed’s Ruby Cramer wrote a lengthy feature titled “Hillary Clinton wants to talk to you about love and kindness” at the end of January, and it’s worth a read. But this speech was the first time I had seen Clinton discuss love and kindness on a national stage. We could argue for hours as to whether Clinton is the right person to be delivering this message. After all, she did vote for the unjustified Iraq War, doesn’t support the total abolishment of the death penalty across the nation and once referred to kids in gangs, presumably Black, as “super predators.” Of course I’m setting aside many of the efforts she’s made to bolster the rights of minority communities, but it’s hard to argue these three things represent decisions made with love and kindness. To me, these instances represent a failure to value humanity. But no matter what you think about Clinton, her message of love and kindness is one we all need to hear — and internalize. I know I’m not breaking this news, but anger and nastiness has permeated

every corner of this election. It’s simply out of hand. The venom tossed by (gag) Republican front-runner Donald Trump, who I’m sure has proclaimed himself to be the nicest man in the world, is gross, despicable and disheartening (feel free to insert your own adjective). The violence at his rallies, which he absolutely incites — don’t let him tell you otherwise — has me questioning what exactly is going on in America. And the other remaining Republican candidates besides Ohio Gov. John Kasich are contributors to this problem. And to a lesser extent, the angry tone of Bernie Sanders’ message can be exhausting to listen to sometimes (the #BirdieSanders moment was pretty awesome, though). People have a right to be angry about the current realities of the United States. In fact, they should

Clinton’s message of love and kindness is one we all need to hear and internalize. be. Our economy is rigged to favor those at the top. We aren’t doing enough for lower-income communities. Institutional racism is alive and well. It’s a disaster that we don’t have paid family leave and equal pay for women. Our campaign finance system is out of control. I could go on, but the point remains: These are legitimate issues to lose sleep over and have steam coming out of ears. And it’s not that I need Barney or Big Bird to explain these outrages in song and dance. But at a certain point, the presidential candidates and the people of the United States need to recognize the limitations

of anger. This isn’t me saying that the protests should stop, because given how much traction Trump is gaining by winning one primary after another, they’re still needed. I just think we have to realize that when it’s time to write the policy and fix our wrongs, anger won’t solve these problems. Anger only identifies them. And nastiness? There’s no place for it (I’m talking to you, Big Donald). The funny (actually not that funny) thing is that love and kindness aren’t ingrained in the United States’ values. After all, we were founded on violence. We owned slaves for hundreds of years where plenty of places today are actively trying to bury that part of our history. Lawmakers actively wrote policy to damage minority communities. And we’ve committed plenty of war crimes. So instilling love and kindness into our national mindset would actually be a radical idea. Now, of course, we all have different definitions of what love and kindness means. I’ll start by giving mine. Love and kindness is a belief in the humanity of all people, that we are all capable of success given the opportunity. Love and kindness is a belief in the power of community — the belief that in order to have a just society, we have to look out for each other’s needs and not just our own. I know what I’ve laid out is idealistic, and frankly there are plenty of times when toughness is absolutely needed. But at the simplest level, love and kindness is another way of saying, “Let’s not screw each other over.” You may have a definition that doesn’t quite jive with mine. Or at all. But I’m sure whatever it is, it’d be a lot better than what we have right now. — Derek Wolfe can be reached at dewolfe@umich.edu.

A makeup artist ‘Greek’ runs familiar gives hot style tips themes into ground 2

By LAUREN WOOD Daily Arts Writer

By DAILY STYLE WRITERS There is so much more to someone’s style than clothing. Jewelry, shoes, hair and makeup, to name a few, are all indicators of personal style. Makeup in particular, for both men and women, serves as a higher form of self-expression. The use of cosmetics to enhance appearance or disguise is dated back to the times of Ancient Greece and Egypt. From creams and oils, to brightly colored paints for the eyes and face, makeup is so much more than a means to cover up imperfections. It has the ability to showcase a person’s mood and personality, as well as artistic talent. Fast forward to 2016 — with the rise of social media platforms like Instagram and Snapchat, the popularity of makeup has skyrocketed. With so many new beauty bloggers, trends and techniques, it’s hard to keep up. For example, bold brows and liquid lipsticks are in full force as the most popular beauty trends today. But how does one create a bold brow? There are so many options to pick from — think tinted eyebrow gels, powders and pencils. It’s all too overwhelming. To answer those questions, The Michigan Daily Style Squad talked all things makeup with Ann Arbor’s best, Moriah Mierre Martin — including a makeup tutorial. Martin began seriously experimenting with makeup at the age of 20. So for all the students still itching to get into makeup, there is still hope. What is even more inspiring is the fact that Martin learned by simply watching YouTube tutorials. Watching the work of beauty bloggers on a daily basis and subsequently practicing to gain a true mastery, Martin has come a long way. As a freelance artist, who travels from client to client, she is stationed at En’Fusion Beaute’ Salon. Turning a passion into a fullblown career, she has gotten the opportunity to do makeup for a range of clients and events. One amazing experience in particular was her work on Rap Artist Big Sean for Adidas’ #ImaginedBy series titled “One Man Can Change Detroit.” Not only did she manage to make Big Sean look even more flawless, but Martin describes the rapper as “the most humble and genuine person” she has had the opportunity to work with. From working with model/ actor Shaun Ross, the first male Albino professional model, to being the featured makeup artist at The Powerful Women’s Weekend Conference last spring, held in Ann Arbor yearly, Martin has made the most of her talents and her Michigan surroundings. With aspirations to break into the beauty industry even more in the coming year, Martin said her dream client would have to be Queen Bey herself. Beyonce’s naturally stunning facial features would be any makeup artist’s dream, so can we really blame her? For the tutorial, we asked Martin to show us how to do a natural, everyday makeup look that incorporated some of the popular trends we see today. Michigan Daily style writer, Hannah Sparks, turned model

for the demonstration. Martin began with a blank canvas, a.k.a. a face without any makeup. This allowed Martin to begin her work from scratch, in a sense. Starting with some primer, the beautifying began. After Hannah was all set and primed, the next step was applying foundation with a beauty blender for the best (and most natural) coverage. Beauty blenders, otherwise known as those egg-shaped sponges, seem to be all the rage in the world of makeup. Post foundation, concealer was applied, which started to make a noticeable difference on Hannah, making skin look luminous and perfect. The real MVP of this tutorial was the contouring that took place. It’s not what you may be thinking though — no insane Kardashian contouring was done. Instead, Martin showed us a way to keep it subtle, for everyday wear. It’s amazing how far a little contour can go. Using some light, powder-based shadows, she was able to give more structure to our model’s face. In addition to contouring, Martin used a highlighter/illuminator that made Hannah’s skin look bright and dewy. The key is to place the highlighter atop all parts of the face that capture natural light, so to amplify it. Next came one of the most important steps: the bold brows. Turns out, it’s not as hard as it looks. Martin sculpted Hannah’s brows with patience and mastery, all with a brow pencil in a shade lighter than her eyebrow hair. Bold brows really manage to frame the face. Post brows, Martin quickly placed a light touch of shimmering eyeshadow with a swipe of mascara. Finally, for the lips, Martin used a matte liquid lipstick, which are also all the rage right now (think LipkitbyKylie). The shade was a mauvey brown color and the matte texture was perfect to complement Hannah’s shimmery eyes. The complete look created was a basic glam that can be taken from day to night. With enough patience, even the average University of Michigan student can watch Martin’s techniques and be able to recreate this go-to glam masterpiece. Sticking with a neutral palette, accompanied by some shades of bronzy browns to add depth, Martin created our new go-to look. With every answer to our many questions, you could hear the knowledge and passion behind Martin’s words. Despite the abundance of social media outlets available today, Martin says she “constantly [tries] to research and keep up with the latest looks and trends as much as possible.” Her favorite Insta-beauty bloggers are Makeupshayla, Nikkietutorials, Amrezy, Jackie Aina, Desi Perkins, Lustrelux, Kilprity and Renny Vasquez. While she does keep up with all the latest and craziest makeup trends, Martin admits that many of the huge trends have become borderline extreme. “Some of these trends have taken it to another level with too many unnecessary steps, making it seem difficult,” she said. When asked her thoughts on highlighting and contouring, a trend that has infiltrated YouTube and beauty blogs, Mierre said the key to successfully con-

quering it is “one good contour powder palette” and “a great highlighter.” Her favorite line for both products is Anastasia Beverly Hills. However, she doesn’t only rely on high-end makeup. Martin incorporates both high-end products as well as more accessible, drugstore items. Some of her favorite items include NARS All-Day Luminous foundations, Laura Mercier setting powder, Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pencils and contour palettes and Too Faced Better than Sex mascara. On the more affordable side she loves, Maybelline Fit Me foundations, Nyx micro brow pencils and brow gels and ColourPop eyeshadows lipsticks. Martin’s number one tip for great makeup, however, is not about which products to use. “Great makeup starts with great skin care!” she says, “When you take care of your skin, your makeup will look even better and more flawless!” Interested in seeing more makeup looks by Martin, or have any questions about the work she did with the Daily Style Squad? She showcases much of her work on social media: Instagram (@beatbymo), Facebook (Moriah Mierre), or her salonbased website.

Quality 16 The room is full of parents with sulky teenagers, kids running through the aisles or groups of old lady best friends on a night out. I’m home with my family for Easter weekend, and we brought my grandma. I knew I was in for an interesting moviegoing experience when almost everyone in the auditorium clapped along to the chain theater’s catchy jingle. The crowd was uproarious, and at times I wondered if the film had laid a laugh track over its quintessential bits. The original “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” was a universal family classic, so of course they’d produce a sequel to draw in the masses. Although it centers around the

overbearing and colorful Greek culture in which the protagonist, Toula (Nia Vardalos, “My Life in Ruins”) attempts to build a life, the original film has appeal for anyone with aunts who are a little too loud, cousins who get a little too drunk and a family that holds onto tradition and loyalty a little too tightly. The filmmakers have obviously had time to think about what made the first film successful, but the sequel uses these themes to run the movie into the ground. Immediately, about four different storylines begin unfolding, and the jokes that were unexpectedly weird and funny in the first film are stretched into oblivion. Toula’s daughter, Paris (Elena Kampouris, “Men, Women, and Children”), is looking at going to college far away and she feels silenced by her overbearing family. The grandparents, Maria (Lainie Kazan, “Pixels”) and Gus (Michael Constantine, “Sirota’s Court”), find out their marriage was unofficial and have to remarry in an elaborate ceremony. Cousin Angelo (Joey Fatone, “Rewrapped”) is apparently gay. The original movie’s couple is having trouble remembering the spark that brought them together in the first place, and at the same time their daughter is finding love in an unexpected Greek suitor.

direct line between what moment in the original inspired each of the sequel’s jokes. The quasi-romantic scenes are buried under the rapid-fire pacing of the film, and the sweet sentimentality of the original is lost in the overwrought and John Legend-soundtracked construction of the plot. All of this somehow doesn’t mean watching it isn’t an enjoyable experience, though. It’s pretty infectious to be in a room of people nudging each other every few minutes and remarking on which member of their own family each line reminds them of. To my right, my grandma has to take her glasses off multiple times to wipe her eyes after laughing so hard. There’s a little old ethnic great-grandma character who, much like my own 106-year-old Nana, keeps popping out of the woodwork with pans of baklava. The hilarious Aunt Voula (Andrea Martin, “SCTV”) keeps sharing way too much about her various moles, rashes and out of this world afflictions. It’s a caricature portrait large enough to hold a detail that hits home for most watching, and so while the jumbled storyline and drawn out gags make it a somewhat unbearable watch, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2” at least provides a few good laughs and a somewhat amusing moviegoing experience.

BOOK REVIEW

‘Missoula’ tackles victim blaming By SOPHIA KAUFMAN Daily Arts Writer

If you somehow missed “Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town” when it became a national Missoula: bestseller around this Rape and time last the Justice year, the first Sytem in paperback edition has now a College been released by Anchor Town Books. Urgency Jon Krakauer resonates with every page, Anchor Books making it Jan. 12, 2016 impossible to put down. The book represents the culmination of Jon Krakauer’s (“Under the Banner of Heaven”) painstaking research and re-crafting of several cases of sexual assault or rape in Missoula, Montana over four years. He zeroes in on the culture of athlete worship that schools with big sports teams have to deal with. Krakauer throws a harsh spotlight on what news pundits or other skeptics are actually conveying when they dismiss the problem of sexual assault and rape on college campuses as rape hysteria. When they argue that activists — namely, feminists — are manipulating assault cases for the sake of their agenda, they make it more and more difficult for victims of assault to be heard. It’s a dangerously effective form of silencing. One of the main functions of “Missoula” is to demonstrate that the idea of women frequently

“crying rape” — because they regret bad sex, to cover up cheating on a significant other, for revenge — is one of the most dangerous myths about sexual assault circulating throughout the country. The effects of these myths are found not only in the minds of people sitting on the jury, but in the mores of police precincts, in offices of district attorneys and even in the behavior of police or campus security officers who are sometimes the most immediately available people to whom rape survivors can turn.

This book is like repeatedly being punched in the stomach. Krakauer emphasizes that rape is the only crime for which the survivors or victims of the crime are on trial just as much as — if not more than — the defendants. He wryly points out that the oath to tell the truth only applies to witnesses. Others in the courtroom, like defense attorneys, prosecutors and judges, aren’t beholden to it. Even due process for defendants puts survivors in a precarious position from the start. The needs of the courtroom — presenting challenges to credibility, submitting witnesses to yes-or-no questioning rather than giving them opportunities to talk freely, confronting those

who may be perpetrators — come before the needs of the victim. Reading this book is like repeatedly being punched in the stomach. The details Krakauer includes sound like tasteless jokes. A coach equivocates on the definition of rape while testifying on behalf of an accused rapist, then mentions that he is a sexual education teacher. Police officers ask women if they have boyfriends when they report rapes (implying they cheated and now feel guilty). Prosecutors badger survivors on the stand, asking if they are sure they communicated a lack of consent well enough. Yet despite how difficult it is to be faced with the testimony and primary documents Krakauer includes, nothing in “Missoula” feels overly sentimental, manipulative or exploitative. The pathos is organic; he evokes empathy without sensationalizing any of the stories he is telling. His inclusion of several studies and statistics never pulls focus from the social critiques he’s making; they only serve to accentuate the truth of his arguments, hitting a sobering conclusion towards the end: “Rape is the most underreported crime in the nation. … When an individual is raped in this country, more than 90 percent of the time the rapist gets away with the crime.” One of Krakauer’s final points is that university processes for investigating and prosecuting sexual assaults have not been standardized across the nation. The lack of support is another reason that people may feel uncomfortable coming forward about being assaulted; they often literally have no idea what will happen. Krakauer finishes on a strong note: by speaking out and coming forward, survivors become part of a network that makes it easier for others to follow in their footsteps.

ABC

Looks like just another boring, white TV couple.

Rhimes’s ‘The Catch’ doesn’t add to ‘TGIT’ By ALEX INTNER Daily Arts Writer

Very few brands are as powerful as Shonda Rhimes’s (“Scandal”). She is so important to ABC as a network to the point where it C has essentially given her a The Catch night of her Series own. However, Premiere “Thank God Thursdays It’s Thursday” at 10 p.m. has been facing rating declines ABC as of late. Both “Scandal” and “How to Get Away with Murder” are down doubledigit percentages from where they were last season. While neither show is in range of being cancelled, “TGIT” is in desperate need of a hit that will help stabilize the night. “The Catch” is not that show. Even though it has the guise of being suave and sexy, once you actually watch it, it comes off as dull and boring. “The Catch” follows a private detective named Alice (Mireille Enos, “The Killing”) who — get this — can’t figure out her fiance Benjamin (Peter Krause, “Parenthood”) is a con man

who’s been with her to infiltrate her company. What a vocational irony-driven coinkydink! In the pilot, Krause’s character disappears on Alice, taking every trace of his existence with him. Now, she’s forced to confront her former fiance conning her as she tries to hunt him down. The first big strike against “The Catch” is Enos’s performance, as the actress barely forms a character. She brings little charisma to a role that requires a lot of it. She’s asked to show emotion, but can’t seem to bring it to life. She has no chemistry with any of her scene partners, even Krause. It doesn’t help that she isn’t given a lot on the page with which to work. However, when you put her in a lineup with Ellen Pompeo (“Grey’s Anatomy”), Kerry Washington (“Scandal”) and Viola Davis (“How to Get Away with Murder”), who consistently elevate their dramas with pure performance ability, she pales in comparison. “The Catch” attempts to be slick in its production, but it just doesn’t succeed in any capacity. There are purposefully smooth cuts and some fun directorial moments from Julie Anne Robinson (“Pushing Daisies”),

Row, row, row your boat...

‘Were None’ a new formal masterpiece By DANIELLE YACOBSON Daily Arts Writer

Ten little soldier boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were Nine.” Ten strangers arrive on A+ Soldier Island. They eat And Then lobster soufflé, There smoke cigars, Were None exchange war stories and Miniseries engage in an epic display BBC of British snobbery. And then, just as the nursery rhyme that conveniently decorates the walls of their hosts’ mansion foreshadows, the strangers are poetically murdered. Based on the famous mystery novel, BBC’s miniseries “And Then There Were None” is one of the best literary screen adaptations of Agatha Christie’s work,

beautifully capturing the nuances of her storytelling in a visual masterpiece that merits wild praise of its own. Rarely is a work of visual media so powerfully enthralling that the present day, filled with all its glorious gadgets and distractions, disappears. Yet, the 1939 world of “And Then There Were None” masterfully takes precedence over real time. Simultaneously evoking conflicting emotions that millennials are rarely challenged to sort through, the three-part series is both tragically beautiful and hauntingly mesmerizing. While BBC consistently produces breathtaking cinematic pieces, like “Downton Abbey” and “War and Peace,” their latest series surpasses even their own high standards. “And Then There Were None” employs a creativity in cinematography that introduces unexpected angles and lighting that sets itself apart from

the network’s other series. Interspersed between BBC’s signature sweeping landscapes are shots that capture an image so intriguing and abstract that an early 20th century period drama becomes laced with an element of modernity. It’s shots like these, when the viewer finds himself gazing up from the ocean floor at a woman in a scarlet red bathing suit, the sunlight perfectly outlining her silhouette, that make “And Then There Were None” stand out as an artistic statement. Adapting a renowned literary work runs the risk of sacrificing crucial nuances

but once it reaches the 500 millionth stylish edit, they lose their luster. There’s also an overzealous score, which hits you over the head with every single emotional beat. I get that Alice is sad that her fiance left her, or that active manhunts can be intense, but you don’t need to have music emphasize the point with a complete lack of subtlety. Yet “The Catch” does have some worthwhile elements. Krause, who replaced Damon Dayoub (“Stitchers”) from the original pilot, actually brings a sense of poise to Benjamin. He’s charismatic, charming and mysterious as a con man. The only genuine moments from the pilot — like when he asks Alice to run away with him before he leaves to not have to hurt her — come from his dramatic chops and delivery. Still, Krause’s strong supporting performance is not nearly enough to salvage this show. It tries to be a show with sex appeal and smoothness, but it can’t recover from its nonsensical vocational irony narrative or a dull performance from its leading lady. ABC shouldn’t be desperate to boost its TGIT lineup yet, but this is definitely not the show with which to do that.

for plot. The complexity of Agatha Christie’s masterpiece, however, is preserved by the incredible performances of the cast members. Whether it be an overextended gaze or an off-putting smolder, the actors add personality and emotion to even the smallest moments. Each character is colored by a complex backstory, their secrets and lies slowly uncovered throughout the three installments. Perfectly paced, the miniseries is captivating from beginning to end. Living through the camera, which takes on a personality of its own, the audience is simultaneously hunting and being hunted. Teetering on the line of horror, orchestral music climbing to uncomfortably eerie notes, “And Then There Were None” never allows for a moment of boredom. Each scene serves a purpose and no detail is accidentally unveiled. The thrilling momentum produces a surprise at every turn, but still allows time to capture longing looks and linger on the impeccable costuming and set design. You’re never comfortable, always on the edge of your seat, and constantly concocting crime theories. And then, just when you think you’ve figured it all out, relishing in your astuteness and patting yourself on the back for outsmarting one of literature’s most brilliant murder mystery writers, the end leaves you completely dumbfounded. “One little soldier boy left all alone; He went and hanged himself, And then there were None.”

Michigan suffers seasonending loss in Midwest Regional final in Cincinnati By KEVIN SANTO Daily Sports Writer

CINCINNATI — Tyler Motte went down the line, shaking the hands of the men who had just ended his season. When he finished, he watched his team begin exiting the rink. But the junior forward went in the opposite direction. He went past the bench and buried the toe of his stick in the ice between the two circles

Michigan had been defending in the third period. He left his helmet on, put his hands on the butt end of his stick and just stared off into the distance. Maybe he was wondering what could have been. But more likely than that, he just wasn’t ready for it to end. Motte spent a couple minutes prolonging the inevitable, but eventually he retired to the locker room, forced to accept that his season was over. In the end, No. 2 seed Michigan ran out of comebacks. The clock hit zero, and the Wolverines couldn’t preserve their season any longer. They lost, 5-2, to No. 1 seed North Dakota in the Midwest Regional final of the NCAA Tournament. “We think we need to do three things in these big games,” said Michigan coach Red Berenson. “One, you need goalkeeping. Two, you need to put your chances in. And three, you need to check the other

team’s best players. I thought we did one of those three — and it was goalkeeping.” There were glimpses of the game when Michigan looked like it was going to need a flight to Tampa, Fla. Michigan (25-8-5) came firing right out the gate in the first period, but its momentum was stolen quickly. After winning the opening faceoff, freshman forward Kyle Connor set up Motte with a point-blank chance on a 2-on-1. Motte had the door shut on him, and things started to decline for Michigan from there. North Dakota (32-6-4) matched Michigan’s pace with a faster one of its own. And it didn’t take long for that to create problems. The Wolverines were effective defensively, but they were also put on their heels as North Dakota dominated the offensive possession. Though the statistics didn’t originally align with Michigan’s performance, eventually the numbers

started to tell the story of the Fighting Hawks’ dominance. They ended with a 24-8 shot advantage after the first period. For the majority of the frame, the Wolverines looked capable of weathering the storm until intermission. Time just ran out on them. With 1:06 remaining in the frame, North Dakota defenseman Troy Stecher forced senior forward Boo Nieves to turn the puck over at Michigan’s offensive blue line. Stecher fed Drake Caggiula, who caught sophomore defenseman Cutler Martin on a line change. Senior goaltender Steve Racine turned away Caggiula’s first shot, but was beat on the rebound — giving North Dakota a one-goal advantage headed into the break. See MICHIGAN, Page 4B

SPORTSMONDAY COLUMN

Red Berenson should stay one more year

n 32 years at the helm of the Michigan hockey program, Red Berenson has had a lot of teams — some great ones, some good ones and some not-sogood ones. He spoke consistently throughout JAKE this season LOURIM as if he knew he had a good team, right up until that team gave everything it had before losing to No. 1 seed North Dakota in the regional final in Cincinnati on Saturday. But I’m guessing that for all Berenson knows about this year’s team, he knows next year’s could be even better. And that’s why the 76-yearold Michigan hockey coach should return for one more year — to lead that team. He loves to coach seniors, and he could have nine of them next year. Berenson has been signing one-year contracts since 2009, and with three straight missed NCAA Tournaments, it hasn’t always been easy. This year, his team put it all together, and after that, it’s clear he’s still the right man for the job. For as difficult as their regional, dubbed the “Region of Death,” was this weekend, they almost escaped it. Berenson proved, though, that he can still lead his team into the elite tier of college hockey. New Athletic Director Warde Manuel agrees, and he has supported Berenson since he was introduced Jan. 29 “I hope that this year is not his last year,” Manuel said that day. “I hope I get a chance to be here and to watch his team on ice again. But if he decides that this is his last year, then certainly he will have a

significant role in the process.” If Berenson decides to retire this year, Manuel will be scrambling to find a replacement. If he stays for one more, it gives Manuel time to decide on one of the many suitable successors Berenson has cultivated — Michigan Tech coach Mel Pearson (who was Berenson’s top assistant for 12 years) and current associate head coach Billy Powers (who has been Berenson’s top assistant for the last five years) among them. And, more importantly, if Berenson stays, he could coach the team he has always wanted to coach. The beliefs Berenson holds as a coach go back a long time. Once, just before he was set to start his playing career at Michigan in the 1950s, the Montreal Canadiens attempted to lure him away to the NHL. The Canadiens tried every which way to get Berenson to fulfill his professional dream, a Canadian native playing on a Canadian team. Berenson wouldn’t. Not yet. “Montreal was waiting,” Berenson told the Daily in 2010. “They tried to bribe me, pay me, and I said, ‘No, I’m going to school.’ ” Berenson told that story to one of his players, Louie Caporusso — though he has probably told it more than once — in an airport during a trip home years ago. “He went against the grain, and I think that’s why he’s become such a special figure in hockey,” Caporusso told the Daily in 2010. “I love that about him because he knows exactly what he wants. For anyone else, it would’ve been a no-brainer. Ninety-nine-point-nine percent of people would have taken it, but he didn’t. That’s what’s so great about him.”

After returning their school to the NCAA Tournament at age 76, 99.9 percent of coaches would retire. He should be the 0.1 percent, just as he was almost six decades ago. He came back to Ann Arbor from the NHL’s St. Louis Blues in 1984 because he had a soft spot for Michigan and wanted to return his alma mater to greatness. That he did. Berenson has also been an enduring fixture in college hockey, a perfect representation of the ideals of the sport. He urges his players to stay in school for four years, earn their degree and play alongside their classmates. Over the years, that ideal has become harder and harder to fulfill. NHL teams pressure players to turn pro early, depriving Berenson of the seniors he loves to coach. Every summer, Berenson takes his seniors on a canoe trip up north. He speaks highly of all of them and cherishes the teams filled with them. Next year’s team could be one of those teams. The Wolverines will almost certainly bring back at least seven seniors: forwards Max Shuart, Alex Kile and Evan Allen, defensemen Michael Downing, Nolan De Jong and Kevin Lohan and goaltender Zach Nagelvoort. Then it gets tricky. The other two who could come back as seniors are forwards Tyler Motte and JT Compher, two cogs in the prolific CCM line and two NHL Draft picks with professional futures. If those two stay, Berenson should, too. If his seniors stick

around, he should stick with them. Even if freshman forward Kyle Connor leaves, the Wolverines need only find a third member of their first line to keep it rolling. They will again have a senior in the net in Nagelvoort, and they’ll have a secondyear captain in Compher. Most importantly, numberswise, they’ll have nine seniors, which is almost unheard of. North Dakota and Boston College, the two teams that won Saturday to advance to the Frozen Four, have four each. With the extra experience, Michigan will have a better

Bruder hits game-winner Wolverines win on walk-off to secure weekend sweep of Illinois-Chicago

EVAN AARON/Daily

Senior outfielder Cody Bruder hit a game-winning, walk-off RBI single to win the game Sunday against Illinois-Chicago.

games, but UIC knocked Hill out after just 3.1 innings. The bullpen, though, provided the relief that Michigan needed. Freshman left-hander Will Tribucher stepped in to face Patrick and forced a 6-4-3 double-play to end the inning. Down 3-2 in the following inning, freshman outfielder Jonathan Engelmann checked his swing and was punched out on an appeal to first base. Michigan coach Erik Bakich immediately came out onto the field to argue the call. “C’mon, give me a warning,” Bakich yelled, taunting the umpire. The ump skipped the warning and tossed Bakich, but the Wolverines weren’t fazed by their coach’s abrupt exit. “He got us all together and pretty much told us that we’re going to win the game, so it really

got us fired up,” said sophomore first baseman Drew Lugbauer. In the bottom of the fifth, the Wolverines knocked Flames starter Connor Ryan out of the game and loaded the bases. But unlike the Wolverines, the UIC relief wasn’t able to pitch out of the jam. Lugbauer stepped up and delivered a single through the hole on the left side of the infield, scoring two to reclaim the lead, 4-3. It seemed that was all the Wolverines would need, as junior lefthanded pitcher Carmen Benedetti came in for Tribucher and cruised through the next three innings. “(Our bullpen) is a great advantage … especially when you’re playing the 4th game in three days, and you think you could be a little thin,” Bakich said. Benedetti held UIC without

a hit and handed the ball to sophomore right-hander Bryan Pall with a 4-3 lead in the 9th. Pall faced the top of the Flames lineup and couldn’t finish the job. Two leaping catches by sophomore third baseman Jake Bivens held a runner at third, but UIC eventually scored on a twoout RBI single. But the Wolverines also had the meat of their lineup due up in the bottom of the ninth, and they delivered. Benedetti and junior catcher Harrison Wenson continued impressive weekends and reached base, setting the stage for Bruder’s heroics. Though Michigan didn’t beat the Flames as soundly as it did to start the series, to the Wolverines, this victory was equally impressive. “That pitching staff that they put out today is one of the best we’ve seen all year,” Bruder said. Ryan had only allowed one run in eight appearances thus far, and the Wolverines tagged him for four in just 4.1 innings of work.

now scored 43 points — tied for fourth among NHL rookies — for the Detroit Red Wings. But it doesn’t always work out like that. More common these days are cases like Andrew Copp, a captain on last year’s team who forwent his senior season and signed with the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets, disappointing Berenson in the process. “I just wish he would stay and do it right — graduate with your teammates and classmates,” Berenson said that day. “Take this team to another level. We lost to a senior-laden Minnesota team. Well, how about a seniorladen Michigan team?” Yes, how about it, Red? What do you say — one more year?

Friday and Saturday, the Michigan baseball team scored 25 runs in three UIC 4 MICHIGAN 5 blowout victories against Illinois-Chicago (9-15), but Sunday’s contest wasn’t so easy. Instead, it required a walkoff. Facing a 1-1 count with runners on first and second, senior outfielder Cody Bruder nailed the ball up the middle, and junior Carmen Benedetti dove home to score the gamewinning run in the ninth inning. “I was just trying to see the ball up, and the rest was a blur,” Bruder said. Bruder couldn’t even recall what pitch he was thrown, but a hard swing brought Michigan (16-5) the victory, 5-4 at Ray Fisher Stadium. The game started similarly to the previous contests against the Flames, as Michigan jumped on the board first. A couple of quick innings for senior left-handed pitcher Evan Hill and a string of hits from the bottom of the lineup put Michigan on top, 2-0, after two innings. After seeing Michigan win the previous three games against the Flames (9-15) by a combined 19 runs, an early lead had the Michigan faithful confident about their team’s chances. But in the top of the third, an offensive outburst by the Flames, including a triple by Derrick Patrick, tied the game, 2-2. In the next frame, Hill still couldn’t settle down, and the Flames took the lead on an RBI double from No. 8 hitter Cody Mohanek. The Wolverines’ starters usually pitch deep into

chance of making a deeper run into the NCAA Tournament. “There should be a sense of urgency in your senior year, and that’s when most of our seniors have their best seasons,” Berenson said. “Even though they have been good players, we have rarely had a senior that didn’t have his best year as a senior, and that’s why I encourage seniors to stay. I think it is really important in your development and your growth and your maturity to fulfill that senior year. It always shows up on the ice.” Now, Berenson prefers that his players stay four years, but he has said countless times that if a player has a ticket straight to the NHL (as opposed to the minors), “I’ll drive him to the airport.” Connor has that ticket. So did Dylan Larkin, who left after one season last year and has

It was the bottom of the second in the first of two games for the Michigan baseball team Saturday. With the bottom of the lineup coming up against Illinois-Chicago, sophomore infielder Drew Lugbauer stood on third, junior infielder Michael Brdar was on second and freshman infielder Ako Thomas on first. Sophomore infielder Jake Bivens, the leadoff hitter, walked up to the plate and looked out at a beautiful basesloaded opportunity to drive in his teammates. But before Bivens could get in a swing, a misplaced throw by the Flames’ pitcher and a fumble by the catcher sent the ball all the way to the backstop, allowing Lugbauer to score on the passed ball. The Wolverines led, 3-0. Brdar then strolled to third, Thomas advanced to second and Bivens made it safely to first with a base hit on the next play. “Our goal at the bottom is to get on base for the guys at the top to knock us in,” Brdar said. “When we get on base, it creates pressure for the defense and creates runs.” The bottom of the lineup contributed significantly toward Michigan’s offense over the weekend. In the bottom of the fifth Sunday, Lugbauer stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded and hit a two-run single as both Bivens and Benedetti scored. The lineup looked pretty much the same for the duration of the series with the exception of Lugbauer and freshman outfielder Jonathan Engelmann switching off between the sixth- and seventh-hitter slot. Brdar spent the weekend as a shortstop and the eighth in rotation. Thomas finished the series securely in the nine hole as the second baseman. “We have a good group of

guys out there, and honestly, they’re just fun to play with,” Brdar said. “Me and (Thomas) in the 8-9 hole, we take pride in our job down there and getting on base with others knocking RBIs and helping us come in and help us win games. It really relieves the pressure from us.” The lineup was exactly what a solid order should be. Keep the highest batting percentages at the top, the cleanup slugger junior catcher Harrison Wenson at number four, and the fastest in ninth. Thomas fits that speedy bill. Deceptively small, Thomas has one of the team’s top on-base percentages (.426), falling just short of left-handed pitcher Carmen Benedetti and Wenson at .500 and .465, respectively. Coming out of the weekend, Michigan coach Erik Bakich praised his OBP. But Thomas is new to the slot, having hit second for most of high school. But the routine is the same no matter where he bats. Thomas has to be fast and see the pitch. “Whatever coach needs me to do, I’ll do it,” Thomas said. “When you got a good group of guys around you, it just makes it easier to play anywhere. I don’t think there’s any nerves. I just wanted to play the game like we usually play.” Bakich has enough skill on his team to fill the sixth through ninth holes with reputable players, but Lugbauer, Englemann, Brdar and Thomas are confirming their claim to the rotation. After Sunday’s game-winning hit by senior centerfielder Cody Bruder, Lugbauer was waiting in the wings to take over, something that gives the top of the rotation conviction in its game. “All these guys up and down can put the ball in the gap at any time and have hard at-bats,” Bruder said. “It gives you confidence, because hitting is contagious. I can’t speak enough about those guys, to be honest.”

‘M’ takes two of three By BETELHEM ASHAME Daily Sports Writer

Seeking to win its Big Ten opening-weekend series against Northwestern (1-2 Big Ten, 10-18 overall), the Michigan softball team couldn’t be halfhearted heading into its final game against the Wildcats on Sunday. After the second-ranked Wolverines righted the ship Saturday, a strong response after their disastrous performance in Friday’s loss, Michigan coach Carol Hutchins had a clear mission for her team. “I just wanted them to come out and compete,” Hutchins said. “Sometimes you take a negative situation and turn it into a positive. I don’t want a team that ever gets complacent or lackadaisical, and when you win a lot of games — I say this every year — you can get soft and just think you’re going to win because you haven’t lost much. ... I want a team that comes out to be relentless every pitch of the game.” The Wolverines (2-1, 24-3) answered her call to action in strong fashion, wasting no time lighting up the scoreboard. After senior center fielder Sierra Lawrence led off the game with a walk and senior second baseman Sierra Romero reached base on an error, senior left fielder Kelly Christner hit a sacrifice bunt to advance both runners. With Lawrence and Romero in scoring position, senior right fielder Kelsey Susalla did what cleanup hitters do, smashing an RBI double to the center-field wall to bring both runners home and give Michigan a 2-0 lead. Taking advantage early has become a dominant trend for the Wolverines, and it is something the team emphasizes. “A lot of it has to do with our energy in the dugout, and just having good pitch selection and staying within ourselves and in our process,” Susalla said. “I try and focus on getting my bat on

the ball and putting the ball in play, just knowing my teammates behind me will have my back.” The Wolverines went right back to work in the second inning. With the bases loaded and no outs, Michigan found itself in prime position to do major damage as Romero walked up to bat. Swinging on the first pitch, Romero sent a sacrifice fly to deep center field, but poor base running turned the routine fly ball into a double play, and Northwestern tagged senior pinch runner Olivia Richvalsky out at third. After the Wolverines squandered an opportunity to break the game open, Christner took it upon herself to make sure Michigan extended its lead over the Wildcats. With two outs in the inning, Christner slammed a two-run home run well over the wall in left field to give the

Wolverines a 5-0 lead. Having tossed two scoreless innings heading into the third inning, fifth-year senior righthander Sara Driesenga found herself in trouble after allowing a walk and bunt single without recording an out. But Driesenga battled back against the next two batters she faced, relying on the defense to bail her out of the jam. Two back-to-back groundouts later, Driesenga appeared to be in the clear. Looking like she may escape the inning unscathed, Driesenga induced a fly ball to left field for what seemed to be the final out of the frame. But on a sunny day in Ann Arbor, Christner lost sight of the ball. It hit her glove and bounced to the ground, allowing the Wildcat runners to score to cut Michigan’s lead to 5-2. Junior right-hander Megan Betsa entered the game in the

fifth to relieve Driesenga, and she pitched two innings of one-hit, shutout ball. Michigan put the game away in the sixth, when Montemarano’s solo blast to center gave the Wolverines a 7-3 lead. Then Michigan began to pour it on. A single by sophomore catcher Aidan Falk and a double by junior shortstop Abby Ramirez set the stage for Lawrence to unleash an RBI double to score both runners and give Michigan a 9-3 advantage. Chasing the run-rule margin, the Wolverines remained in attack mode. Lawrence advanced to third on a wild pitch and Romero walked before Christner hit a fielder’s choice RBI grounder that brought Michigan within one run of the run rule. After Susalla flied out, the Wolverines had only one out remaining, but that’s all sophomore first baseman Tera Blanco needed. Continuing her stellar weekend at the plate, Blanco launched a walk-off RBI double to the gap in right center, scoring Christner all the way from first base to seal Michigan’s 11-3 run-rule victory.

As the Michigan Alumni Band rose to its feet and started its rendition of “The Victors,” Lindsay Montemarano rounded third base with a jump in her step and a horde of teammates waiting eagerly for her arrival. It was a familiar sight all weekend, as the junior third baseman escaped from the doldrums of inconsistency to emerge as the Wolverines’ most potent offensive force against Northwestern during the weekend series. “(Michigan coach Carol) Hutchins gave me a tip earlier in the week, that if I want to see more success, that I should swing the bat more,” Montemarano said. Montemarano’s willingness and ability to take advantage of early-in-the-count pitches proved a lethal combination against the Wildcats. She registered four hits and drew three walks in the three-game series. “Sometimes I take too many pitches,” Montemarano said. “I wanted to swing and I wasn’t looking for the perfect pitch, I was just looking for something to hit.” Three of those hits left Alumni Field, as Montemarano upped her home-run total to six on the season. On Sunday, Montemarano smacked two homers — a towering shot over left field and the other a line drive to centerfield. “The less I try to hit home runs, the more it happens,” Montemarano said. While her stats suggest she is a boom or bust hitter, Montemarano’s approach at the plate is far from one-dimensional. “My strength coach jokes about it and he always says, ‘Doubles or dingers or outs,’ ” Montemarano said. “I am not trying to be a

power hitter, and I don’t really think of myself as one … but the ball happens to be going over.” Montemarano’s newfound power stroke out of the seventh spot only compounded Northwestern’s problems on Saturday and Sunday, as the Wildcats simply had no easy outs in any half-inning. Senior centerfielder Sierra Lawrence and senior second baseman Sierra Romero were always on the basepaths. Senior right fielder Kelsey Susalla hit two home runs at the cleanup spot, and sophomore first baseman Tera Blanco had six RBI on Saturday. At the bottom of Michigan’s lineup, proceedings got even tougher as a newly confident Montemarano surfaced as a towering presence at the plate. While her recent power surge represents a marked development in her evolution as a more wellrounded hitter it is only one component of Montemarano’s growing stature on the team. Though she laments taking too many pitches, patience was a virtue against the Wildcats, as she drew five walks and scored on two of them. A slick-fielding third baseman, Montemarano was largely able to neutralize Northwestern’s small-ball style. Their leadoff hitters employed a bunt- and slap-hitting-heavy approach, but due to Montemarano’s adept play at third, Michigan’s pitching staff had more security when dealing with the middle of Northwestern’s lineup. She’s always been one of the most vocal Wolverines, but now she’s raising her play to a comparable level. Combining her contagious energy with an emerging skillset, Montemarano is positioning herself for a highly productive month of April and beyond.

Michigan falls apart in blowout loss ‘M’ earns split Colorado trounces MEN’S TENNIS

vs. ranked foes Wolverines outlast Penn State at home but fall short at Ohio State By JARED BERSON For the Daily

In one of its longest matches of the season, the No. 23 Michigan men’s tennis team fought of No. 25 Penn State for a 5-2 home win. Less than 48 hours later, the Wolverines couldn’t pull off an upset at Ohio State on Sunday, losing 7-0. Against Penn State, Michigan clinched the doubles point as juniors Jathan Malik and Kevin Wong won on a double fault at 4-5, 40-40, and sophomores Alex Knight and Runhao Hua dominated, 6-3, behind Knight’s huge service games. Malik played No. 1 for Michigan against Penn State, and there was early controversy, with both players disputing the chair umpire’s calls. Penn State senior Leo Stakhovsky became visibly upset after Malik called one of his shots out, and when the umpire confirmed, he approached, screaming and motioning violently with his hands. On his way back to the service line, he threw a tennis ball at the wall, and Malik capitalized on his opponent’s lack of focus to win the first set, 6-3. After that, Stakhovsky seemed to move past his early outburst, and he broke Malik at love in the first service game of the second set and cruised to win the set, 6-1. In the third, he broke Malik at 1-1, and again seized momentum, defeating Malik, 3-6, 6-1, 6-1. Junior Davis Crocker obtained the easiest point of the day for Michigan, winning the first set on a volley winner at 5-4, 40-40, and breaking early in the second set for a 6-4, 6-3 win. At No. 2, Knight won the first

four games before dropping serve, but his opponent, Constant De La Bassetiere, fought back to 5-5. At 5-6, De La Bassetiere was awarded a controversial point at 15-30 on a ball that appeared to be wide, forcing a tiebreak in which Knight overpowered his opponent, winning 7-0. Knight fell behind 3-1 in the second set, but broke back when he called a second serve out at 30-40. Angered by the call, De La Bassetiere and Penn State’s coaching staff argued with the umpire throughout the entire changeover. De La Bassetiere rebounded to knot the match at a set apiece. He broke Knight at 1-1 in the third set, and went on to win, 6-7(0), 6-3, 6-2. Freshman Myles Schalet grinded out a victory to earn the Wolverines their 3rd point and extend their win streak at the No. 6 spot to nine matches. Sophomore Runhao Hua won the longest match of the day, 7-6 (5), 4-6, 7-6 (5), ending nearly a half hour after Michigan clinched the match. “You don’t want to know (what’s going on in my head during a match like this),” said Michigan coach Adam Steinberg on Friday. “The big part is that I want them to stay a team throughout a three and a half hour match.” The Wolverines dropped the No. 1 and No. 3 doubles matches to Ohio State on Sunday. Jathan Malik did not play singles against for Michigan. Knight dropped his match at No. 1 singles, 3-6, 1-6, to the nation’s No. 2 player, Mikael Torpegaard. Crocker dropped his Sunday match, 4-6, 3-6, against Ohio State junior Ralf Steinbach. Michigan’s win streak at the No. 6 spot ended on Sunday, when Schalet lost to Ohio State’s Martin Joyce, 6-3, 6-3. Following the weekend’s results, the Wolverines’ away record stands at 3-4, and their record at the Varsity Tennis Center has improved to 10-0.

Compher shows composure in defeat By JUSTIN MEYER Daily Sports Writer

CINCINNATI — A walk from the ice to U.S. Bank Arena’s Dressing Room No. 7 is roughly 40 steps: through the bench, into the metal tunnel littered with duct tape, past the dividing curtain and around the corner to the left. That lonely route was the exit JT Compher used Saturday night to leave the game one last time this season. With just over eight minutes to play in the NCAA Midwest Regional final, an outmatched Michigan hockey team was hanging with the top seed, North Dakota — the score tied at two. But in a span of just 74 seconds, there was one goal, and then another, before a late penalty and a long empty-net score sealed the 5-2 victory for the Fighting Hawks. Compher watched from the ice as the final horn sounded and the North Dakota bench emptied. He skated to console his goaltender, taking his spot at the end of the handshake line. Then he climbed onto the bench, walked through the tunnel and turned around the corner to the left. Those 40 steps were nearly all the time the Wolverines’ captain had to compose himself. The rest of his night was dedicated to everyone else. Compher was whisked through the curved concrete underbelly of the arena to take a seat alongside Michigan coach Red Berenson at the press conference — two spokesmen for a team that had no games left to play. “That’s a really, really good hockey team that we just played,” Compher said. “I’m really proud of this team. To get back to the tournament and to win the Big Ten Championship, it’s a big deal. “But right now, it’s tough to talk.” Compher, though, made time to talk anyway.

Junior forward JT Compher proved his worth as a captain with his resiliency after one of the toughest losses of his career on Saturday against North Dakota.

He made teary eye contact through the glare of the spotlights, answering with patient, deliberate speech when asked what Michigan could have done to win the game and whether his team was outmatched. Afterward, Compher retraced his steps to the dressing room to join his teammates. He didn’t prepare a grand speech, saying he preferred to take the time to talk to the guys individually. Roughly an hour after nearly willing his team to a Frozen Four berth with the best game of his career, Compher still wasn’t done. North Dakota’s captain, Gage Ausmus — a former teammate and close friend from the duo’s days at the USNTDP program in Ann Arbor — met him in the hallway and the two embraced. Compher flashed a wry

smile as the pair chatted in the hallway, staffers whisking by as they hurriedly tore down the tournament decorations. The conversation didn’t last more than a few minutes — both players had places to be. Ausmus was off to captain his team at the Frozen Four, while Compher was headed home. “I just told him good luck with whatever he does next year — if he decides to come back or sign pro,” Ausmus said. “I’ll see him on the flip side.” It must have stung to see his former teammate off to his third Frozen Four in three years, but

Compher’s face didn’t betray a hint of jealousy. “(Compher) was our captain in Ann Arbor,” Ausmus said. “He’s a guy that everyone looked up to — that I looked up to. Just the way he carries himself. He does the right thing every time, all the time.” Even on nights like Saturday. The composure was only more impressive to watch because Michigan’s junior captain isn’t usually much of a talker. He’s brash, supremely confident and competitive almost to a fault, but no one would call him long-winded.

“He does the right thing every time, all the time.”

Instead, Compher has been the type of leader that creates high expectations for the people around him with his own performance. This weekend, he certainly did that. Friday night against Notre Dame, after being frustrated all evening by the Irish’s physicality, Compher won the game in overtime with a perfect no-look pass to linemate and junior forward Tyler Motte. With a trip to the Frozen Four on the line Saturday night, he netted both of the Wolverines’ goals — each of them tying the game. In the end, though, Michigan didn’t have enough. Even with the sting of loss painfully fresh, Compher understood his new role. The junior stepped out of the locker room as a team spokesman, determined — in Ausmus’ words —

Michigan has nothing to regret C

INCINNATI — The buzzer sounded at U.S. Bank Arena on the Michigan hockey team’s seasonending loss to North Dakota, and like after every game, the MINH Wolverines DOAN emptied off the bench to give Steve Racine a helmet-to-mask tap before getting in line to shake the opposing team’s hands. While every Michigan player gave Racine a tap, he didn’t move, seemingly frozen in time. Racine’s head hung down. His body stood still. But after the game Michigan played, against the opponent that it played, there is no reason for Racine to hang his head. Yes, the Wolverines season ended, and yes, Racine’s career at Michigan was over, but North Dakota was the better team on the ice. While the Wolverines gave a valiant effort, the Fighting Hawks were just too much to handle. And they knew that early on, too. “After all our first shifts (we knew),” said senior forward Boo Nieves. “They were hitting us, they were getting shots on net, and we couldn’t get out of our zone.” Added Racine: “I think (I knew) about a minute in. Their pace in the game was way faster than any game we’ve played so far this year.” And if it wasn’t clear to anyone watching, the shot totals after the first period were 24-8 — a definitive indication of North Dakota’s dominance. The problem, though, wasn’t lack of effort by Michigan. The Fighting Hawks were just too good. Not only does North Dakota have the second highest scoring line in the nation in forward Brock Boeser, Nick Schmaltz

and Drake Caggiula, they also have a goaltender who boasts the second-longest shutout streak in NCAA history as well as a relentless defense that allowed freshman phenom Kyle Connor little room to operate all night. Combining all that, the odds were stacked against the Wolverines. And to add to that, Michigan played three and a half periods of a close hockey game the night before, while the Fighting Hawks cruised to a blowout victory. But despite that, the Wolverines went into the break down by only a goal, spirits unbroken. “After the first period, coach Powers came in and said ‘Hey, that’s the best they’ve got. We’ve survived that period,’ ” Nieves said. And while it might’ve been the best the Fighting Hawks had, they were able to keep their play consistently at that level for three full periods. In the second period, the tide started to turn for Michigan as it tied the game. But a bad giveaway by the Wolverines with 45 seconds left in the period gave North Dakota the lead right back. Even after one of Michigan’s strongest defensive performances, if not its best, the scoreboard still favored North Dakota after two periods — another sign that maybe the Wolverines were overmatched. Of course, Michigan kept it close, even tying the game 8:39 into the third period. But North Dakota was relentless. Its forecheck worked even harder, and it continued to pepper shots at Michigan’s net. And while Michigan boasts four lines that can score at any time, North Dakota let its four lines do its talking, especially in the third period. The Fighting Hawks got goals from forward Rhett Gardner, a second-line winger, and forward Coltyn Sanderson, a third-line center, to grab hold of the lead for good. “I don’t think they have any player on their team — four lines and six (defenseman) —

that wouldn’t be first liners on any other team,” Racine said. “They’re a heck of a team. You have to tip your hat to them. They had a great game.” There just wasn’t a lot Michigan could do. “There have been some players that we’ve seen (that have been able to skate with us), but not collectively as a team, and I think that’s something that definitely killed us,” Nieves said. “We’re not used to playing teams that are as fast or faster than us. “Speed kills, and if you’re not skating faster than the other team, then they’re going to control the puck.” After the game, a popular topic of conversation in the press box was which Michigan players would leave early for the NHL. But for the players who come back, the season-ending loss will make an impact heading into next season. “I’m jealous of them,” said senior forward Justin Selman. “They are going to have the opportunity to know what it takes now. I never got that experience until this year of knowing how hard tournament games are and what these games mean. “Hopefully this lights a fire under their butt, and they get a crack at these guys next year.” Maybe they’ll be the better

Michigan bowed out of the NCAA Tournament Saturday after twice overcoming one-goal deficits but then falling down the stretch to North Dakota.

team next year. But for now, Michigan should have no regrets following its NCAA Tournament exit. Because after winning the Big Ten Tournament, after defeating Notre Dame in the first round of the NCAA Tournament and after going toe-to-toe with one of the

best teams in the country for twoplus periods, the Wolverines have nothing to hang their heads over. They were simply beat by a better team. Minh Doan can be reached via e-mail at minhdoan@umich. edu or on Twitter @_minhdoan.

to do the right thing. When Compher was named captain last summer, he took over a team lacking consistency and a program reeling from a deeply introspective identity crisis. For one reason or another over the previous three seasons, the Wolverines’ leadership had failed to root out a culture of frustration and disappointment. Compher changed that. “If you lead the team right and get everyone on board, you have the chance to be a good team,” Berenson said in the week before the NCAA Tournament. “I don’t think it happens from day one, but even in the fall, word was leaking out that the players have never gotten along better. We just seemed to think that this was the right group. “You can’t just create that; you can’t draw it up or force it.” The success this season — a Big Ten Tournament championship and an NCAA Tournament berth — is at least in part a testament to the stability Compher brought the Wolverines. As Ausmus headed back to his own locker room, Compher swung his bag over his shoulder and headed down the stairs. He walked past the North Dakota fans lining the walls and disappeared into an expansive garage — his job complete. Back inside U.S. Bank Arena, the ice was still shining under the overhead lights, but the flame of Michigan’s season had been snuffed out. As the Wolverines boarded the bus and headed back to Ann Arbor, there were unanswered questions. What could’ve been different, and did they ever stand a chance? But the real question — the one that Michigan has been trying to answer for three years — is to whom the team can turn in moments of desperation and doubt. This weekend, and all season, JT Compher provided a resounding answer.

MICHIGAN From Page 1B Then Michigan found an answer from its junior captain. With 5:33 off the clock in the second period, JT Compher collected a puck from Motte along the right boards. He carried it across the top of the circle to the point and sniped the top shelf with a sea of players in front of net. With 45 seconds left to play, Compher attempted to clear the puck through the middle of the ice with a backhand. North Dakota forward Luke Johnson picked off the pass easily, and he punished the Wolverines for their captain’s rare mistake. Yet Michigan had one more comeback left, and it came out looking rejuvenated to begin the final frame. The Wolverines looked like the antithesis of the team that played a late overtime game the night before, and they finally had the benefit of their first full power play of the game at the 13:47 mark. As the two minutes with a man advantage started waning away, it looked like North Dakota would avoid any danger and kill the penalty with ease. The Fighting Hawks weren’t allowing the Wolverines to set up their power play, and things were looking bleak. It only took one chance, though. Michigan established formation and rotated the puck until it landed on Compher’s stick. The Wolverine captain fired and found the back of the net to even the game at two. “JT gave us as good of leadership as we had in a long time at Michigan,” Berenson said. “When the game is on the line and we were behind, it was JT Compher that kept getting us back in the game. His will is tremendous.” But that was the closest the Wolverines would come to the Frozen Four. Less than 90 seconds later, Rhett Gardner added another to North Dakota’s total with a shot from the point, before the Fighting Hawks notched a fourth. And finally, after Racine abandoned the net, came the fifth an empty-netter from Paul LaDue that snuck narrowly inside the right post and simultaneously pulled the plug on Michigan’s season. The comebacks ended in Cincinnati. And Motte was just left there, with his stick in the ice.
