CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — This
U.S. hockey team is already one
game up on the last one, but the
coach who lost to the Americans Sat
urday night and beat them four
years ago says the 1984 team was
better nevertheless.
“The 1984 team was a stronger
team,” Austria coach Ludek Bukac
said in the aftermath of the 10-6 loss
in Saturday’s opening game. “The
players were generally better skilled.
It was a faster team, and it played
with great emotion.”
Bukac coached the Czechoslova
kian team, which heat the United
States 4-1 in 1984 at Sarajevo, Yugo
slavia.
That loss was the second straight
to start for the Americans en route
to a disappointing seventh-place fin
ish, not even in the medal round.
But that failure had nothing to do
with lack of ability, Bukac said.
“The reason they didn’t do better
was that they had a lot of pressure to
win” because of the “Miracle on Ice”
gold medal at Lake Placid in 1980,
he said. “They weren’t able to play
under the pressure.”
The pressure will return quickly
for the current U.S. team, however,
as it faces Czechoslovakia Monday
night. The third-seeded Czechoslo
vaks were upset in their opening
game by West Germany 2-1.
“I don’t think the Czechs had a
good day,” U.S. Coach Dave Peter
son said. “They’ve been stung. My
guess is that they’ll react and come
back strong against us.”
The Americans have to hope their
play and attitude from Saturday
night carries over.
“There was no trouble getting up
for the game,” starting goaltender
Mike Richter said of the Austrian
game. “Everyone was excited as can
be.”
Getting off to a good start was es
pecially important for the Ameri
cans, considering what happened in
1984.
“It was great to get it under our
bells,” Richter said. “It was my first
international game at this level, and
it was important to win our first
game.”
While the decision was never in
doubt for the Americans once thev
broke open a 2-1 game with four
goals in the second period, play did
get sloppy. 1 he Austrians
five goals in the third period
against backup goaltender
Tei reri in the final 9:05.
“We didn’t play as well asm
have in the third period
Pony Granato said. “Wedidi
down in our own end. Wegao
too many chances. Butihr
close as the score indicated.
The victory was typical
Americans’ play this year dun;
60-game pre-Olympic ei
si hedule. Nine players scored
1984 veteran Corev Milieu
two goals and two assists.
Scott Fusco, the other r«
member of the 1984 team,a
goal for the Americans.
“Corey’s playqd well al
Granato said of his center
there wasn’t any reasonlo
that he wouldn't score. Core.:
scoring leader and a
player."
While Peterson was satisfy
the result, lie did find his teg
too tight" in the openingpera
"II we were more relaxed
first period, we would have]
Ijetter," Peterson said.
Navratilova overpowers Shriver
to win Virginia Slims tournament
DALLAS (AP) — Martina Navra
tilova, demonstrating the power
game and shot-making style she’ll
need to unseat Steffi Graf as the
world’s top woman’s player, roared
past Pam Shriver, 6-0, 6-3 Sunday
afternoon in the Virginia Slims of
Dallas finals.
Navratilova, the tournament’s top
seed, won the Dallas championship
for the eighth time in the last 10
years. She earned $50,000 for her
first title of the 1988 season.
The match was touched with con
troversy as Shriver, Navratilova’s
friend and doubles partner, hotly
disputed a service call and expressed
her frustration several times.
Navratilova needed only an hour
to defeat Shriver for the 22nd
straight match in their head-to-head
competition. Shriver, the second
seed, has lost 32 of 35 matches to
Navratilova and hasn’t beaten Nav
ratilova since the 1982 U.S. Open.
Navratilova called the match her
best since 1986 when she was the un
disputed No. 1 player in the world.
“Today 1 hit the ball better than I
did at any time last year,” Navrati
lova said. “Steffi’s still No. 1 hut if I
put together some matches like I
had today, 1 can (overtake her).”
A service break in the match’s first
game set the tone as Navratilova
went on to breaks in the third and
fifth games.
The third-game break angered
Shriver when she was called for a
double-fault at deuce. Shriver felt
the hall was clearly good hut replays
showed the serve was near the line.
Shriver got the advantage back
two points later, but Navratilova
went on to the service-break.
Shriver expressed her anger at
the linesman who called the ball out,
and at the umpire who refused to
overrule the call. She bounced a hall
high into the air and kicked a cush
ion during the changeover
Shriver’s emotion camei
into the first game of the*:
as she double-faulted twicei
down a service break.
Shriver began to servem
rately after experiencing m
problems with her first sene.1
ing for the first time in them
the third game of the second®
Navratilova was not aboui
beaten.
“1 didn’t get over
Shriver said. “I haven't!
livid in years. There wasalollj
out there that wasn'tprinlablt.I
“I knew the way she was pi

hack in the match, so I wasrd
