The former Michigan Mr. Tennis from West Bloomfield High School was 20-13 in doubles, the best record on the team, including 4-0 in the Mid- American Conference with two differ- ent partners. He was 18-19 in singles. Four matches came at No. 2 singles, where he was 2-2. His career collegiate records are now 24-29 in doubles and 46-37 in singles for a combined 70-66. He was 28-18 in singles as a freshman, leading the team in wins, and he was named to the MAC All-Tournament Team. Equally as important, Cahn's cumula- tive 3.64 grade point average earned the pre-business major a spot on the 2014 Academic All-MAC Team. How does Cahn, 19, find time to be a success on the tennis courts and in the classroom? "Time management and common sense he said. "You don't want to fall behind in your classes:' Cahn doesn't take his studies with him when he hits the road with the ten- nis team for away matches. "I try to get everything done before we leave he said. "It's important that I focus on my matches when we're on the road. I don't want anything distracting me:" Cahn said he hasn't decided what type of business career he'd like to pur- sue after he graduates from WMU. Will tennis be involved? "It's crossed my mind; he said. "I'd be interested if the opportunity arises, but, to be honest, that's not my first choice" There's some work to do on the ten- nis courts before Cahn enters the busi- ness world. He said he wants to improve his record in singles next year and help WMU return to the top of the MAC. Cahn said he prefers doubles to singles, "but that's probably because I did better this year in doubles. If I did better in singles, I'd probably like that better:' He was elected a team captain by his teammates at the end of the fall season "because he's a low-ego guy who is a true team player; said WMU Coach Dave Morin. "He's a great extension of the coaching staff' Softball for Charity The InterCongregational Men's Club Softball League took a time out from its regular-season schedule to help a charity. Instead of playing league games on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, about 50 players donated a minimum $5 to West Bloomfield Relay for Life to play exhibition games and raised $290. Four teams were put together by "mixing and matching" players, according to Steve Achtman of Temple Israel, one of the league coordinators. A total of three games were played on a perfect spring morning at Community Sports Park in West Bloomfield, the league's weekly home. The winners of the first two games played again, while the losers were done for the day. "Besides holding the games for char- ity, it provided a chance for guys from different teams to get to know each other; Achtman said. This was the second year the league held the charity day for West Bloomfield Relay for Life. A similar amount was raised last year. Achtman said the league is all about camaraderie and fellowship, and the charity day is another example. "We have 12 teams in our league. That means 130, 140 guys from all over the area get together every Sunday to play softball; Achtman said. "On a day they when didn't have to play, on a holiday weekend, about 50 played anyway for a good cause. I think that's pretty cool:' The other league coordinators are Chuck Freedman from Temple Kol Ami and Michael Betman from Adat Shalom Synagogue. For more about the league, go to mensclubsoftball.org. Relay for Life is an American Cancer Society event to be held June 7 and 8 at West Bloomfield High School. ❑ Send news to sports@thejewishnews.com .
