By Theodore Cox Daily Sports Writer The Michigan women's volleyball team is putting its perfect 4-0 record to the test tonight as the spikers head to Ypsilanti to challenge Eastern Michigan University. The Hurons have not been kind to the Wolverines in the past. "They beat us the last two years, so we're definitely fired up, motivation is not a problem," head coach Joyce Davis said. Michigan will need a little more than motivation to come away with a victory. The Hurons, 4-2, have improved their already talented roster by recruiting last year's junior college player of the year, Nickki Stubbs. Michigan's toughest task will be breaking through Eastern's strong middle combination of Roxanne Munch and Sherry Anderson. The combination has played together for three straight years. Anderson's strong setting to Munch has helped Munch become the school's All-time leader in kills, blocks, and games played. The Wolverines have also been working together for awhile. Michigan's starting six of Kim Clover, Autumn Collins, Carla Hunter, Kristen Lang, Karen Marshall, Julia Sturm have been practicing since last spring. It is expected that these six will play nearly all of the games tonight, but Davis isn't afraid to use any of her first-year players. "From the roster that we have, we can put just about any combination out there as long as they continue to communicate," Davis said. The Wolverines won't be short of support at Eastern's Bowen Field House. The proximity of the the arena to Ann Arbor will bring the team's families, roomates, fans, and alumni over to cheer on the Wolverines. "We feel like it's a home game at their school," Davis said.

He fought the world's No. 9 player and the eventual champ- ion, Brad Gilbert, stroke for stroke, before losing 7-6 in the third set. However, Washington's first thoughts of turning professional came after winning the Seattle $25,000 Challenger Tournament later in the month. "Up to that point he was 100% sure that he was coming back to school, " Eisner said. "And at that particular time he called me and indicated that there was at least some thought in his mind (of joining the pro circuit). "It's a very difficult decision for any player to make, but especially Mal who is very concerned with the University of Michigan, the team, and me personally. He is concerned about letting us down and not coming back," Eisner said. "But he's not going to go out there and be just another person. He's already winning." CONGQN . A 1M. Washington's fans hope that win- ning will continue when he begins his professional career in Los Angeles later this month. His transition is helped by the fact that he will temporarily continue to practice with the Michigan team and that his mother will travel with him while he is touring. While Eisner said that Wash- ington's parents are concerned that the move will disrupt his academics, Eisner believes it is only a tem- porary interruption. "The fact of the matter is that Mal will be in a position whereby he certainly will finish his education at some time in the future," Eisner said. With nationally-ranked Dan Gold- berg graduating last May, Wash- ington's departure leaves the Wolver- ines without their two top players from a year ago - a fact that doesn't escape sophomore David Kass. He will now be one of those in the po- sition of filling Washington's tennis shoes. "I thought he was ready," Kass said. "It was his decision. I mean, he played well this summer and that was a key. I think it puts a little pressure on me but it's wanted' pressure." Even with strong play from the Wolverines' remaining cast, Eisner. admits the task of playing without America's No. 1 college tennis player will be a huge adjustment. "You can't take a player of that ability off your team," Eisner said, "and make any case of saying we're going to be just as strong without him.' I mean, that's just silly."
