SPORTS :The Michigan Daily Tuesday, April 6, 1982 Page 7 Netters skin Miami, 8-1 By TAM BENTLEY The Michigan men's tennis team scored a sweeping 8-1 victory over the Redskins of Miami (0.) yester- day at the Liberty Racquet Club. "I was very delighted to win but not really glad Sabout the play," said Michigan coach Brian Eisner. "Miami is a. very good, solid team from a solid program. But overall I was not as pleased as I would have liked to have been because we did not play as well or build on the performance we had against Illinois." LEADING Michigan in the first singles spot was Michael Leach who started the Wolverine domination with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Larry Yearwood. "I was pretty pleased with my play overall," said Leach. "I've played Larry before, he's a big guy and a big hitter but I'm quicker. It wasn't really like I went out and took the match from him because he made a lot of errors and really gave the match to me." Mark Mees in the second singles spot followed with a 6-2, 6-2 win of his own over the Redskins' Mark Wit- sken. "I HAD A pretty good match, I played pretty solid," said Mees. "I would have liked to come up more but overall I thought I played pretty solid." . Michigan's only singles defeat came in the third spot as Torn Haney fell, 6-4, 7-5 to Scott Wallace. But Ross Laser, playing fourth singles, put Michigan back on the winning track as he defeated Steve Issleib, 6-4,6-2. In the fifth and sixth singles spots, Michigan again emerged victorious as Ihor Debryn took Steve Fisher 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 and Bill Godfrey downed Tim Klitch 6-1, 7- 5. IN THE DOUBLES competition, Michigan's first team of Leach and Mees blew past Miami's Issleib and Wallace, 6-2, 6-2. The second doubles spot saw Haney and Debryn take Yearwood and Witsken, 7-6, 6-4, while the third spot team of Godfrey and Rodd Schreiber beat the Redskins' Fisher and Seitz, 7-5, 6-2. This weekend the netters will take on two tough teams as they travel to Minnesota Friday to take on the Gophers and turn around the next day to meet the Badgers in Wisconsin. "IT WILL BE a challenge for us because Minnesota is the team that will give us the most competition this year," said Eisner. "It will be a tough weekend but we're ready for it and I feel very confident that we can win." Eisner's only concern is that his team may get too tight and get too ready for the matches. He said he wants to see the pressure put on the other teams rather than on Michigan. He feels his team has played more good national competition this year and that the result is that it has made it a much better team. And with a much better team, Eisner feels that the Wolverines can repeat as the Big Ten champions and represent the Big Ten in the NCAAs. "To do that you have to improve," said Eisner, "and to do that you have to do what we've been doing and keep playing good teams." HANEY, DEBR YN TEAM UP FOR WOLVERINES: Duo spells double trouble for foes By CHUCK JAFFE Some time during the 1981 season, Michigan men's tennis coach Brian Eisner used a mix of mathematics and chemistry to decide that third singles and fifth singles equals second doubles. The result was Michigan's highly successful team of Tom Haney and Ihor Debryn, which won the Big, Ten second doubles championship last year .and is undefeated thus far in 1982. BUT PUTTING third singles player Haney and fif- th singles player Debryn together on the court wasn't Sjust a stroke of luck for Eisner. After teaming Haney with two different partners at both second and third doubles positions, the Wolverine coach finally put Debryn with Haney for the first time against Indiana: The result was the beginning of a series of wins that resulted in a conference crown. "Last year we had a great deal of difficulty coming up with a second and third doubles team," Eisner remarked. "I finally put Tom and Ihor together and they just got better and better and better." One of the reasons that the Haney-Debryn com- bination works so well together is that both players enjoy playing doubles as much or more than playing singles. "I LOVE doubles, and I get really pumped and psyched to play after a singles match," said Haney, an Ann Arbor native. "I know that Ihor is the same way about it." "We're confident playing together," said Debryn, a senior from Detroit. "We both enjoy playing doubles together, and that has resulted in some good wins. We're capable of beating anyone in the Big Ten." The Wolverine second doubles team has more than confidence going for it, though. While both players excell at singles, they bring their finest attributes- quickness at the net, aggressiveness, solid groun- dstrokes, and a team attitude-into play in doubles. "THE REASON that they're so good is that they are extremely competitive and quick," said Eisner. "They're just all over the net. Tom hits his return of serve extremely well, and Ihor works on blocking their returns." "When Ihor and I started out, the chemistry was perfect," said Haney, a 5-11, 170-pound junior. "You can't match players with different personalities, like one strong-minded player and one weak-minded player. We both have the same mental set, and we have a good combination of power and speed. People don't pass us at the net, so they either have to blow it past us or make us miss." "We communicate well, and we're very aggressive," added Debryn. "Both Tom and I react well, and we're going to dig for every point. We're not going to fall over when we're playing good com- petition."

He won in two sets by a score of 6-2, 6-2. BILLBOARD Weather permitting, tomorrow's Michigan-Western Michigan baseball double-header will be played at the Wolverines' Fisher Stadium, rather than in Kalamazoo as originally scheduled. The reason given for the change is that the Western Michigan field is unplayable. Since tomorrow's games will be played in Ann Arbor, the Wolverines' April 14 home double- header against the Broncos has been moved to Kalamazoo.

After the conference tournament, the pair is looking for- ward to helping the Wolverines at the NCAA cham- pionships. "We've had our chance to play a lot of the top teams around the country, and we've been faring well," Debryn said. "I'd like to see us go down to NCAAs and pull off a couple of good wins to help the team." "I see a better year for us than last year," added Haney. "We've matured as a doubles team, and we're playing with intensity and playing big on the big points. Last year wehad some troubles putting points away, but we aren't having that problem any more." Having found the right chemistry with Haney and Debryn, Michigan tennis coach Brian Eisner doesn't worry about second doubles anymore either. u fe' l e t op!
