The UMD Women's club team begins a 3 game homestand with Gustavus Adolphus
this Friday at 7PM.  The Bulldogs will play a two game series with
Wisconsin-River Falls at 7PM Saturday and 12N on Sunday.  There was a nice
write-up about them in today's paper (02/07/96)  The team is 2-1-1, and are
led in scoring by Rachel Hasbargen with 8-2-10.  Hasbargen also stars on
the UMD volleyball team.  Rec Sports gave the club team $500 and the women
raised $220 on their own, all of which went for jerseys.  Rec Sports also
pays for the ice time at the Sports and Health Center on campus, but the
women have to pay for scorers and referees on their own.  Christina Engholm
organized the team and got evryone together for dry-land training in
October, and on-ice training in November.  The women would like to see the
program go to a varsity sport in 1997-98, the same year as the Twin Cities
campus, but UMD women's athletic coordinator Linda Larson has some doubts.
Larson notes that the UMTC team will be flown out east for games, since the
Twin Cities campus has more revenue from other sports.  Larson is very
supportive, however, and is talking with UMD athletic director Bruce
McLeod, who also seems supportive.
 
Go Dogs!
