Lions drop two in playoff series Bill Wilkinson wins 100th game and broncos win tournament title in Detroit Western Michigan University coach Bill Wilkinson had good reason to celebrate his 100th victory as coach of the WMU 'Broncos. Not only was the Broncos' 8-2 romp over University of Michigan the 100th win for coach Wilkinson, but it also locked up the ' championship of the Great Lakes Invita- tional Hockey Tournament. at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit recently. Playing in the tournament for the first time since 1977 when it finished fourth, the Broncos won the GLI Tournament with eight freshmen in the lineup. In winnin the championship, Wilkinson defeated former NHLer and UM coach, Red Berenson. The Broncos were recently not favored to win the tournament and pulled the upset of the tourney in the first round with a 7-3 victory over defending champion Michigan State. The victory boosted Western into the final against UM. Before the loss to the Broncos, the Michigan State Wolverines had won the tournament,or four con- secutive years. The last ime the two teams met at Joe Louis Arena last March, the Broncos pulled another upset winning the Central Collegiate. Hockey Association playoff championsl'ip. However,, in two meetings earlier this season, Michigan State swept the Broncos 6-3 and 7-3, suggesting the match at the tournament would also go in favor of State. One of the main reasons for Wilkinson's and Western's win was the play of goaltender Bill Horn who was selected the tournament's top goaltender and also its most valuable player, Wayne ' Gagne, ,Henry• fung and Jeff Green were voted to the all -tournament team. Winning is something Wilkinson, .a former Goderich resident, has been doing with regularity at Western ill Kalamazoo, Mich. Last season Wilkinson was selected as coach of the year in the Central Col- legiate Hockey Association after he guided the Broncos to an enviable 32-12 season record and then won . the CCHA playoff championship. The broncos were also just, one of eight national teams to reach the NCAA hockey championships, In the NCAA tournament, WMU lost its two -game total -goal series to Harvard in Boston by scores of 4-2 and 7-2. Last year Wilkinson's team led the nation in goals, shorthanded goals and power play percentage. They' play They' were ranked seventh in the nation. The Goderich native played hockey at St. Lawrence University in the late 1960s and took on assistant coaching positions at North Dakota and _later, Bowling Green before going to Western Michigan in 19$2. A graduate of St. Lawrence University with a bachelor's degree in physical education, he played centre and defence and led the team in scoring in 1968 and was captain and most valuable player of the 1970 team.
