6 SPORTS a The Michigan Daily, Thursday, March 18, 1982 Netters set to match Big By CHUCK JAFFE After losing an All-American singles player and sharing the Big Ten tennis title for the first time in 14 years, some people might expect the Michigan men's tennis team to be preparing for a rebuilding season. But Michigan coach Brian Eisner and his team are out to prove a point; the Wolverines don't rebuild, they reload. The Wolverines will take aim at Kalamazoo College today at 12:30 in the Track and Tennis Building in their home opener. Then, after the Witchita State Invitational, they return to the courts on April 2 to start their quest for a 15th consecutive Big Ten crbwn. TODAY'S MATCH will be more than a prelude to the Big Ten season however. A Wolverine victory would raise Eisner's coaching record at Michigan to 198-43, tying him with William Murphy as Michigan's win- ningest tennis coach ever. "You don't think about things like that," said Eisner, whose teams have won 106 of the 109 Big Ten matches he has coached.' "I don't think that any coach looks at that. Instead, I'd like to concentrate on having these guys go out and play good tennis. I really didn't even know about the record until the other day." But so far this season, Michigan has not played their usual brand of good tennis. In a trip to Florida and Texas, Michigan lost three of eight matches, and dropped out of the top 20 team rankings. "SIX OFsthe eight teams were ranked in the top 20, and normally we don't face six top 20 teams in a season," Eisner said. "The fact that we're 3-5 is meaningless, unless you know why we're 3-5. "It's just a tremendous benefit when the final analysis comes along," Eisner added, "and the final analysis will be whether we can win the Big Ten cham- pionship, and go to the NCAAs, and do well there." Eisner will go with the same lineup today that he 'used during the team's trip, and although he is considering lineup changes, he feels that this is probably his strongest unit. AT FIRST singles will be All- American Michael Leach, who will be followed by NCAA qualifier Mark Mees. Tom Haney will play third singles, with Ross Laser fourth and senior Ihor Debryn fifth singles. Bill Godfrey, a senior transfer student from Colorado will play the sixth singles position. Leach and Mees combine to make the first doubles team, while last year's Big, Ten doubles champs; Haney and Ten title Debryn return at second doubles. God- frey and Laser had teamed at third doubles, but Eisner has paired Godfrey with sophomore Rodd Schreiber in recent practices, and this new pair will get the call against Kalamazoo. "If there is any key to our season, it will be that we have to keep improving, both as a team and individually, and that we play with confidence, and play relaxed," Eisner said. "The minute we go out there and aren't making our shots and aren't playing like the best, then we can be beaten. We have to really try to improve and execute well. This is a veteran team, and we should be able to play with anyone." "WE CAME back (from Texas) really hungry, and we're ready to take the ,Big Ten title," adds captain Leach, who lost his Big Ten singles title last year, but is hoping to capture it again in his final season. "The team came a long way on the trip, and we're going to give everybody we play all that they can handle." Now, with the Big Ten season ready to begin, Brian Eisner has one thing to prove; that his team is reloaded and ready to go for a 15th consecutive con- ference title.
