SPORTS The Michigan Daily Cagers By BOB POLLARD One of the advantages of finishing last in a conference is that there is only One way to go in the standings - up. The Michigan women's basketball team has this working for it as it tries to improve upon last year when it shared the Big Ten cellar with Iowa, finishing 2-16 in the conference. The Wolverines open their - season against Western Michigan in a non-conference battle today at Crisler Arena at 4:30 p.m. Although most of the bad news oc- cured on the court for the Wolverines, the off-season wasn't much better. Shortly after the conclusion of the season, Sophomore Guard Peg Harte, Michigan's leading scorer and reboun- der, announced she was quitting the team and transferring to Aquinas College. THE PLAYERS who will try to pick up the slack created by Harte's depar- ture are Orethia Lilly, a guard who averaged 13.3 points and five rebounds per game last season, center Wendy Bradetich (10.6, 6.1), and guard Lori Gnatkowski (7.4, 2.7). Head coach Gloria Soluk is hoping for big things from her returning players. "We have a great nucleus of returning kids and we hope to have an outstan- ding season." Lilly, a sophomore from East Cleveland, Ohio, was the second leading scorer for the Wolverines last year and figures to be an important cog in' this season's team, particularly on offense. Her backcourt partner will be Gnatkowski, and this tandem will have to make the big plays if the hoopsters ope to be competitive in the Big Ten. Soluk feels Gnatkowski will really come into her own in this her senior year. Junior Connie Doutt will also see plenty of action at the guard spot. Doutt averaged five points per game last season. What puts even more pressure on the backcourt is the fact that Michigan has very little experience at the forward and center spots. Senior Terry Soullier saw limited action last season, kaeraging two points and three reboun- ds per game. Sophomore Amy Rembisz started nine games and pulled down 3.4 Saturday, December3, 1983 hope to rebounds per outing. The bulk of the rebounding will fall on the shoulders of Rembisz and Bradetich. Bradetich was the second-leading rebounder behind Harte last season and figures to be the team leader in that category this year. Sophomore Sandy Svoboda will also lend a hand in clearing the boards. Also returning at the forward position is Junior Diana Wiley. Wiley is joined in the front court by sophomore forward Carolyn Henry and sophomore center Connie Tudor. Each figures to see in- creased amounts of playing time from last season.

The development of Morozko will go a long way to determine how the Wolverines will stack up against, the rest of the league under the boards.
