Page 10 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, April 22, 1986 N ,Upended netters to face MSU By DEBBIE deFRANCES Just when the men's tennis team was pounding all of their opponents into the ground, the Minnesota Golden Gophers popped their heads from their earthly holes to nip the Wolverines Friday, 5-4. Two days later, Michigan traveled to Madison, Wis. only to be pestered and beaten again, this time by the Wisconsin Badgers, 5-4. Today the Wolverines will attempt to return to the winning style they are accustomed to when they play Michigan State at 2:30 on the varsity courts.' "I HOPE WE do well, unfor- tunately, we haven't won a match in the Big Ten yet," said Michigan State head coach Stan Drobac. "On paper we're definitely the underdog. " "They (MSU) are a good team and evenly balanced, " said Wolverine coach Brian Eisner. "If we perform poorly, we could possibly lose." Eisner said that Michigan State has had some unexpected problems this year, losing their third singles player: Drobac was also concerned that one of his top performers may be out with a foot injury. AFTER THIS weekend's pair of losses, Eisner said there will definitely be some changes in the Wolverines' lineup. "We're going to try some different people in second and third doubles," said Eisner. "They just haven't been playing well; they haven't clicked as I hoped they would." But one person who seems to be clicking is freshman Dan Goldberg. Goldberg had two solid wins this weekend, both against collegiate players who are ranked among the top 75 in the nation. "GOLDBERG has been outstan- ding. He beat Matt Grace from Min- nesota, who he had lost to earlier in the year," Eisner said of Michigan's number one player. "Dan was ranked about seventy in the nation but now should move up well into the fifties or even forties." He's playing as well as anyone in the U.S. right now." The Wolverines played a five-and-one-half hour match before almost a thousand Gopher fans Friday in Minneapolis. Before losing to the eighth-ranked Gophers, Michigan took six of its matches to three sets. "It was an exciting and emotional match," said Eisner. "I'm not disap- pointed with the results at all. "I WAS VERY disappointed with how we played at Wisconsin. We played poorly and we competed poorly. Wisconsin is a very dangerous team, but we were drained from the Minnesota match." Eisner hopes today's match will be. a different story. In switching a couple of doubles players, he is looking for the stability his team has been lacking thus far. Drobac, whose squad is 2-14, 0-6 in the conference, looks forward to the Blue-Green rivalry. "All their players, - Royer, Shar- ton, and Filer - are excellent and have played well so far," said Drobac. "Brian Eisner went to Michigan State and was a student of mine, so I always look forward to the Michigan match." Today's match will bring the Wolverines out of their Gopher and Badger holes and back on track to defending their Big Ten title.

Associated Press as he breaks the I Women netters are still hurting 4 By PAUL DODD As more and more players get healthy, the women's tennis team gets closer to being successful in Big Ten competition. Unfortunately, last weekend was another learning ex- ~perience, with the netters dropping two close matches on the road. Michigan went 6-6 in singles play, but won just one doubles match ,against Illinois in a 5-4 loss. The Wolverines were shut out in doubles - competition as they fell to Purdue, 6-3. MOST OF THE singles lineup was forced to move up one slot for the weekend after Tina Basle reinjured her hamstring in the Michigan State match lastrWednesday. She will be ,missing from the No. 2 spot again when the Wolverines host Iowa and Ohio State this weekend. "We had several opportunities to win Saturday and didn't take advan- tage of them," said coach Bitsy Ritt. "Purdue was a much stronger team, though, so it wasn't as disappointing a loss (as Illinois)." Two-time All-Big Ten selection Paula Reichert continued her tear through the schedule, downing the Illini's Kathy Neil, 6-4, 6-4, and Boilermaker ace Krista Schreck, 6-1, 5-7, 7-5. Reichert has lost only twice in ten conference matches. ANTOHER bright spot, although it wasn't in a winning capacity, was the full-time return of junior Tricia Horn from a back injury. Although Horn isn't quite back to full strength, Ritt was encouraged with her return to ac- tion. "I was pleased that she could play four matches in two days," Ritt said. "She doesn't feel as well as she would like to physically, though, and it's hur- ting her confidence." Besides Reichert, Leslie Mackey and senior co-captain Monica Bor- cherts posted wins in singles play against Illinois. Reicher and Erin Ashare downed Kathy Neil and Sheila Burns, 6-3, 7-6 (8-6), for the lone Wolverinevictory in doubles play for the weekend. ASHARE and Susie Patlovich both took their Illinois opponents to three sets before succumbing. Borcherts and Horn went three sets before falling in their number-three doubles match. Sunday, it was Ashare who was vic- torious in three sets, outlasting Pur- due's Julia Chambers, 1-6, 6-3, 6-4. Patlovich also came back from her narrow defeat Saturday to post a 0-6, 6-1, 6-3 win over Jennifer Allan. Despite being blanked in doubles play, all three pairs were competitive. losing the first set 5-7 and the second 6-3 or 6-4.

A summer tabloid edition of The Michigan Daily will be published every Friday throughout the summer. The first publication will appear on May 9th at the following drop locations: Wolverines to 9-14 overall and 1-9 in Big Ten play, making this weekend's homestand essential in avoiding the cellar of the standings. "Both teams (Iowa and Ohio State) recently lost to Illinois, 5-4, so we're matched pretty evenly," Ritt said. Ohio State was the team Michigan defeated back in February for their lone Big Ten triumph, but Ritt points out the tables may be turned this time. "They had some people hurt and we had everyone healthy when we beat them down there, but we don't have any edge now," Ritt said. BOSTON (UPI) - Lou. Whitaker knocked in two runs and Dave Collins had three hits and scored twice yesterday to pace the Detroit Tigers to a 5-4 victory over Boston, snapping the Red Sox's four-game winning streak.
