"We're a good team, and some- times good teams win too," Michi- gan coach Carol Hutchins said. "We were relaxed and we really played well. We've been playing good ball all along, and we've lost some games that we've really played well." Michigan (17-19 overall, 3-5 Big Ten) took the lead in the bottom of the second inning when designated hitter Patti Benedict knocked in Sue Sieler. Central pitcher Jeanette Schrand then walked Julie Cooper with the bases loaded to bring in catcher Bridget Fitzpatrick. Patti Benedict scored a third run for Mich- igan on a Bonnie Tholl single. Michigan had another three-run inning in the bottom of the fourth. first-year player Kari Kunnen started out the inning for the Wolverines by belting a double into leftfield. On a close call, Cooper made it to first on a grounder and advanced Kunnen to third. Sara Dyksterhouse reached second on an error, scoring Kunnen.

Not even David Kass, the No. 14 singles player in the nation, could stop the overpowering gusts of the Fighting Irish. The Wolverines dropped all six singles matches, and all except Kass' were in straight sets. No. 21-ranked Dave DiLucia toppled Kass, 6-4, 0- 6, 6-4. This was the first match for Kass since returning from a groin injury, and according to Michigan head coach Brian Eisner, his health may not be at 100 percent yet. "It was a tough day," Eisner said. "It was tough coming in because of David Kass, not knowing right up until the last minute whether we should play him or not. If we don't play him, we really don't have any chance whatsoever of winning the match." Of the remaining Michigan sing- les players, only fourth singles Terry London put up any resistance. Lon- don lost the first set but came back in the second set to tie at four games apiece before falling to Notre Dame's Mark Schmidt. "I'm very happy to come out of here with a win," Notre Dame coach Bobby Bayliss said. "The tradition of tennis at Michigan is enormous. I know that they're a little down -this year and they've had some injuries, but I'm not taking anything for granted." Michigan blames its poor perfor- mance yesterday not only on Kass' injury, but also on the holiday week- end and a lack of enthusiasm by the players. After beating Michigan State last Thursday, 6-2, Michigan took Friday off and only practiced lightly yesterday. "Unfortunately, we never really got out of the starting block," Eisner said. "We looked extremely tired, al- most psychologically tired. "Let's give Notre Dame a lot of credit. They competed well, and they went right after us." Notre Dame, along with North- western, is at the top of the Midwest region. With a starting singles squad consisting of four first-year students, a sophomore, and one senior, they look to be dominant for at least the next four years. Michigan, in com- parison, reached the pinnacle of their dynasty last year, and this year's team boasts Kass as the only re- turning singles player. "We've played well," Bayliss said. "We've done particularly well against No. 3 Georgia, No. 4 Pepperdine, and No. 13 Alabama." Right now, Northwestern is the only team that really stands a chance at qualifying for the NCAAs in the region over Notre Dame. North- western beat Notre Dame last week, but will most likely have to win the Big Ten Championships in May to qualify over the Fighting Irish.

Andrea Nelson got the win for Michigan. Central Michigan (18-16, 4-4 M.A.C.) provided its only threat of the game in the top of the sixth inning. Pam Stanely had a base hit, then advanced to second after tagging up on a Kelly Wotring pop-up. Leslie Grimes hit a single. However, both were left stranded when Carrie Henry grounded out to end the inning. The Wolverines also took control of the second game early. Patti Benedict was walked by Central pitcher Pam Meyer. She advanced on A Kunnen bunt and then Stole third. She scored on a Karla Kunnen hit. Cooper and Tholl scored two more runs for Michigan in the bot- tom of the third to seal the win for pitcher and captain Jenny Allard. Central's only score of the day came in the seventh inning. "We hit the ball when we needed to," Hutchins said. "Our pitchers did a good job with Central, and that's what they didn't do, they didn't hit the ball when they needed to. "They are an arch-rival of ours, so I am really happy with my kids." Cookie Lovers Cooke LoersFOR GRADUATION, ETC.
