Spikers lose
pair over
weekend
By ERIC MAXSON
Despite the volleyball team's
obvious improvement and effort,
both Iowa and Minnesota left Ann
Arbor with 3-1 wins last Friday and
Saturday night.
Their goal of a top five Big Ten
finish may now be little more than
an impossible dream.
AFTER WHAT Coach Joyce
Davis described as a "very
frustrating" weekend, Michigan
must now face the difficult task of
regrouping despite an 0.7 record in
the Big Ten.
On Friday night, Iowa defeated
Michigan 7-15; 15-7, 15-9, 15-8,
in spite of what Davis called "our
IN best match of the year." Iowa
Coach Sandy Stewart described the
Wolverines as "scrappy" and
"tough", and Davis had nothing but
praise for nearly all her starters,
particularly sophomore Marie Ann
Davidson.
None of it was enough,
however, to beat the powerful
Hawkeyes, who are second in the
Big Ten at 5-1.
DAVIS BLAMED the loss
on the officiating, terming the
match a "throw show. Six on one
side of the court can't beat seven on
the other side. The ball handling
was atrocious. We play real
volleyball here at Michigan."
On Saturday night, Michigan
had no one to blame but themselves
as Minnesota walked away with a
15-13, 15-11, 4-15, 15-13 victory.
After being edged in the first two
games, the Wolverines appeared to
be poised for a comeback as Lisa

Vahi served nine straight points in
leading them to a decisive third-
game win.
THE FOURTH game was
hard-fought, going to 13-13 before
the Golden Gophers won two
straight points to win the match.
Afterwards, a dejected Coach
Davis blamed inexperience for the
two errors that led to Minnesota's
final points.
"We have to evaluate what
happened, learn what we can, and
forget about (this weekend)," said
Davis. "We have a difficult trip
coming up. We have to make sure
we don't let this affect our play."
MICHIGAN travels this week
to Western Michigan, Wisconsin,
and Northwestern.
Minnesota Coach Stephanie
Schleuder called the Wolverines
"much improved", while Iowa's
S tewart said, "They have a lot to
feel good about."
The major factors in their c
development have been the
consistently good play of junior
Heather Olsen, the return to form of

Miam
the rebound came out and Swift was
there to bang it in.
"THAT WAS a big lift (for
them)," said Berenson. "At that point
they were going nowhere."
John Bjorkman's quick slapshot
from behind the right faceoff circle
gave Michigan a 3-2 lead with 13:10
left in the game.

Davidge. "That gave our guys the
