The Titans stand 4-1 after the first five games of the season. The Titans have defeated Wayne State (95-85), The University of Toledo (73-52), Oakland University (77-50) and heart stopper over Western Illinios (79-76). The U of D's only setbac was a 92- n 10 to national power Michigan. "We're happy they way we're playing right now," Byrdsong said. "I think free throw shooting is ome­ thing we can improve upon. A 4-1 start is encouraging. We've faced some teams that played well against us, but our defense,have kept us in all five games we've played." Tony Tolbert, the Michigan trans­ fer tudent from St. Martin DePorres, lias been the main spark for the Titans.

Lady Tartars fast br ak to 7-1 r cord By HARRY M. ANDERSON Jr. MlchlgMJ Cltlz.n Since their home opening loss to Ashland University 62-60 on a layup with six seconds left, something has happened to the Wayne State Women's basketball squad. And that something has been for the better. The Lady Tartars have won seven straight games since that opening loss. WSU won their own Tartar Holiday Tournament defeat Spring Arbor College (79-61) and Wiscon­ sin-Parkside (91-83). The following week they traveled down to Fort Wayne, Indiana and won the Indiana­ Purdue-Fort Wayne Tournament defeating the hose IPFW (63-59. and Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference foe Lake Superior State (57-44). But that's not all; the Lady Tartars downed GLIAC opponent Saginaw Valley (91-72), Sienna Heights (17- 59) and Northwood (69-49). The even game winning streak leaves the Lady Tartars with a 7-1 (1-0 GUAC) record. Head coach Dianne Wis­ newski has nothing but praise for her team so far this season, but still real­ izes that there' two months to do. "We played well against Wiscon­ sin-Parkside in the championship game," she said. "We came out rebounding, shooting well from the floor and the free throw line. Win­ ning the tournament at our gym gave us momentum against IPFW, who were Undefeated." "MONIQUE (JOHNSON) and Julie (FIipus) are providing leader­ Ship while Kristin (Wright), Angie (Davi ) and DeLonda Little are play­ ing consistant. The teams we've played weren't louches. I'm curiously optimistic about the future because we till have about 20 games to go." The Osborn duo of Monique Johnson and DeLonda Little have been a major force in all of WSU's seven victories. , Johnson scored 15 poin against Spring Arbor and 10 points against WiscoD.iin-Parkside in the WSU Toruney. Recently against Northwood Institute Johnson fired in a game-high 19 points, three assists and six rebounds. Little hasn't been left out the pic­ ture either. The super sophomore had 34 points and 22 rebounds against Wisconsin-Parkside, 24 points and eight rebounds against Saginaw Valley and 14 points against Sienna Heights. "The kids are starting to gel and that's important because we have Ferris State this Saturday and Indiana of Pennsylvania and they're two real good teams," Wisnewski said. "The GUAC is going to be tough. It' going to be a dog fight.· "The GLIAC rankings which have us picked to finish eighth out of nine teams .reflect on what you did last year. We've beaten two of the con­ ference leaders (Saginaw Valley and Lake Superior). We've finished near the bottom the last three years, but 3ere hoping to change that."
