Women spikers ,mnust r'e buildz By JOE CHAPELLE Rebuilding may turn out to be the theme for the 1982 Wolverine women's Volleyball season. The Michigan bpikers,. the reigning Big Ten cham- pions. will be hard pressed to match the. success of the 1981 squad as they open their season by hosting the Wolverine Invitational today. Due to the inexperience of this year's team coach Sandy Vong admits that the Wolverines might have some dif- ficulty matching the accomplishments of last season's club. The Michigan Daily-Saturday, September 11, 1982-Page 13 FACES MANDLIKOVA IN FINAL Evert Lloyd wins Lacking the }) proper Nnhl (Orers Vnng HOWEVER, Michigan will not open the season without some returnees from last season. Juniors Alison Noble and Susan Rogers will be returnipg to the Wolverine lineup and can be expected to provide some valuable leadership. Noble garnered a spot on the All-State volleyball team as a freshman and a berth on the All-Regional squad last year. Rogers, the only other starter besides Noble returning, will again play in the center-blocker position for the Wolverines: For all of his team's inexperience, Vong seems to be pleased with the squad thus far and seems to have confidence in the fteshman class. "THEY'VE blended in together really well in the two weeks :that we've been practicing," said Vong. "They may not be as talented as last year's team but they are very quick learners." While Noble and Rogers will be the mainstays of the team this season, Vong is also looking for solid performances from junior Jeanne Weckler and sophomore Deborah Holloway. "They are coming along well in practice and should help replace some of the starters that we lost," said Vong. THE WOLVERINES are expecting good competition in their first tournament from Notre Dame, Wayne State, Ferris State, Schoolcraft, Lake Superior, and Grand Valley. Vong points out the tournament should provide a good test for his team and an opportunity to gain some valuable game experience. "Although Schoolcraft is a junior college, they will be a tough team. They've been to the junior college nationals two years in a Prow," said Vong.' "Wayne State has also given us a lot of trouble in the past and always fields a strong team. "The tournament should give us a chance to look at the fresh- men and give them a chance to get some experience," added Vong. As for the rest of the season Vong hopes for the Wolverines to be in contention to repeat as Big Ten champions. "We're going to try to hang in tight for the first half of the season until we get enough experience," said Vong. The Wolverine Invitational will get under way at 10:00 a.m. at the Central Campus Rec Building today. NEW YORK (AP) - Second-seeded Chris Evert Lloyd, seeking her sixth title, and Hana Mandlikova of Czechoslovakia advanced yesterday into the women's singles final at* the U.S. Open Tennis Championships. Lloyd, who has reached the semifinals of America's premier tennis event in each of the 12 years she has played here, crushed fourth- seeded Andrea Jaeger 6-1, 6-2, while Man- dlikova ousted No. 7 Pam Shriver 6-4, 2-6, 6-2. TODAY'S FINAL, which will be nationally televised by CBS, matches the 1980 finalists, the last time either player reached the cham- pionship match. Lloyd defeated mandlikova 5-7, 6-1, 6-1 on the hard courts at the National Tennis Center two years ago. The top four men's seeds will meet in the semifinals Saturday, with top-seeded John McEnroe facing No. 3 Ivan Lendl of Czechoslovakia, and No. 2 Jimmy Connors meeting No. 4 Guillermo Vilas of Arg-entina. Connors and Vilas will begin today's action at 11 a.m. EDT on center court in Louis Ar- mstrong Stadium, followed by the women's final, then McEnroe and Lendl. LLOYD, WHO WON the women's title each year from 1975-1978, then captured it again in 1980, had litle problems with Jaeger, who had beaten her in three of four meetings this year. The two baseline players began cautiously, testing the other, engaging in long rallies. But Lloyd, whoe arlier this week complained of illness after eating cheesecake, became the dominant force. Jaeger held serve to begin the match, having to fight off a break point to do so. It was her last hurrah as Lloyd riped through the next seven games, capturing the first set and taking a 1-0 lead in the second. THE LONG RALLIES - one produced 40 strokes - were infrequent as Lloyd kept relen- tless pressure on her 17-year-old opponent, surprisingly going to the net on occasion to finish off points. Jaeger fought off one set point at 30-40 in the seventh game, pulling to deuce with a cross- court backhand drop shot. But she then doublefaulted and stroked a backhand long, giving Lloyd the opening set. With that opening, Lloyd quickly took ad- vantage, fighting through a deuce to hold ser- ve to begin the second set. After Jaeger held serve and Lloyd again was forced to deuce before holding again for a 2-1 lead, the five- time U.S. Open champion swept her teenage opponent at love. JAEGER BROKE right back as Lloyd had problems holding her serve. But Lloyd took the next game, breaking Jaeger at 15 - then served a love game for a 5-2 lead. She closed out the 75-minute match by breaking Jaeger for the sixth time in the mat- ch, this time at 401 to advance into the final, where the winner will collect $90,000. Mandlikova, who lost to Lloyd in the final of the Italian Open this year and who has been hamepred by a back injury in 1982, broke Shriver in the third game of the first set but surrendered that advantage when Shriver broke back in the sixth game, tying the set 3-3. BUT MANDLIKOVA, seeded fifth, broke again in the seventh game, then held serve to capture the set. Shriver recovered -in the second set, breaking Mandlikova's service in the second, sixth and eighth games to win it decisively. But the Czechoslovakian's passing shots and shot-making genius was too great for Shriver, a serve-and volley specialist. Whenever Shriver would venture to the net, where she feels most comfortable, Manlikova would pull out a marvelous pas3sing shot or a delicate lob for winners. a4w ° .1 I MODERN MUSIC & A TTIRE cultural stimulation?

"I AM TAKING a risk,a calculated risk, but I know what makes Dave Cowens tick," said Nelson, who remained good friends with Cowens af- ter they had played together as Celtics in the 1970s. "If anyone can come back after two years, it's Dave Cowens. 9"4"I really feel good that we made the right decision at this point in the history of-the Milwaukee Bucks. I know we lost a younger player for a man who will play with us for a short time. Our team is now ready to make a legitimate run at the championship." Cowens called it a "real challenge" to come back from his self-imposed retirement. Nelson said 34-year--old center Bob Lanier is near the end of his career. He .aid the Bucks have made a commit- ment to him Lanier, to the team and to the Milwaukee fans to win a title while Janier is still playing. More strike talk SEATTLE (AP) - The National Football 'League Players Association appealed yesterday to the Seattle Seahawks to abide by its decision and not stage a strike this weekend, when the regular season begins, to protest the waiving of Sam McCullum, their for- mer union representative. "The executive committee has urged all teams not to conduct selective strikes this weekend," Frank Woschitz, press spokesman for the union, said kner or from union headquarters in Washington. "We would hope the Seahawks would Abide by the executive committee's decision and strike only when, and if, the other teams strike." THE SEAHAWKS' were considering a personal protest over the waiving of McCullum. And the team said it was preparing to tell its side of the story to the.National Labor Relations Board. The Seahawks players scheduled a meeting for 5 p.m. PDT yesterday to Cowens consider a possible team strike of tomorrow's scheduled season-opening game against the visiting Cleveland Browns.
