Women's tennis loses,
but still clinches seed

Daily Sports Writer
The Michigan men's lacrosse
team travelled to Northwestern last
weekend where they won it all. After
turning in a lackluster performance
last week against an overmatched
Central Michigan club the
Wolverines rebounded Sunday to
capture the men's Big Ten club
lacrosse championship. The Wolv-
erines defeated a strong Wisconsin
* team in Dyche Stadium, 12-4.
Among a field of seven teams the
Wolverines received a bye in the
first round and then went on to
destroy Illinois, 10-2 in the
semifinals before meeting Wisconsin
in the finale. The Badgers had been
undefeated for the season and were
expecting to emerge victorious in
the tournament to capture the title.
"We blew them out in the first
half," said senior midfielder John
Paul about the team's match against
Wisconsin. "Then we coasted

game, 3-2. It ended in dramatic fash-
ion in the tenth inning.
Northwestern left two baserun-
ners on in the top of the tenth as
Michigan senior co-captain Jenny
Allard pitched her way out of a jam,
getting Gina Nolan to pop up for the
third out. Allard went the distance
allowing only one earned run. She
also helped her own cause by going
4-for-4.
"Jenny was superb for us this
weekend," Hutchins said. "She
pitched really well and she hit the
hell out of the ball."
In the bottom of the inning,
Tholl, usually known for her de-
fense, singled home Stacey Heams
in for the winning run.
"I guess I've always been known
for my defensive play rather than my
offense," Tholl said. "Whenever we
need a play I want the ball hit to me.
But I felt confident out there in the
field and at the plate. I'm swinging
the bat a little better than usual now,
even though there were a couple of
at-bats that I wasn't happy with."
Michigan's Andrea Nelson, a
winner in the Saturday's first game,
through in the second half."
Team captain Mike Kennedy was
named the tournament's Most
Valuable Player by leading his team
past Illinois and by turning in a
phenomenal performance against the
Badgers. Throughout the season,
Kennedy has been one of the driving
forces on this championship team
and against Wisconsin he wound up
with 4 goals and 3 assists.
Coach Robert DiGiovanni was ill
and unable to attend the tournament
games. However his son Rob
DiGiovanni showed up to provide
needed defense for the Wolverines.
As goalie he recorded 21 saves
against the Badgers. Sunday's
match also showcased strength from
Michigan's first midfield line of
Rick Maicki, John Paul, and Tim
Reilly.
"This was really satisfying for
us," Paul said "This was the first
time we beat Wisconsin in the last
four years."
was knocked out of yesterday's first
game in the third inning. But Kelly
Forbis filled in admirably, allowing
the Wolverines escape with a 4-3
win.
"That third game, when we got
down, we just did a really good job
coming back," Hutchins said. "Kelly
came in and kept us in the game.
I'm really pleased that win."
The fourth game of the weekend
saw another stellar performance by
Allard. She pitched seven scoreless
innings for her eighth win of the
season. She allowed only two hits
on the afternoon and once again
contributed a hit to her own cause.
Michigan's only run was un-
ear1,ed. Heather Lyke singled and
scored aided by an error in the sixth
inning providing all that Allard
would need.
And the four close victories this
weekend may be all Michigan needed
as well.
"For us to win the title we need
to win a lot of games," Hutchins
said. "They just did an excellent job
this weekend. This sweep was what
we wanted. I couldn't be more proud
of them. We're just taking it one
game at a time now and that's the
way it should be."

Though the Michigan women's
tennis team won only one of its two
matches last weekend, it was all they
needed. The single victory leaves
them with a Big Ten season record
of 4-5, good enough to place them
into the desired six-seed position for
the Big Ten Tournament.
The tournament alone determines
the outcome of conference rankings
- the dual match record means
nothing except for tournament
seeding. It is optimal to place into
the top six seeds. The Wolverines
needed a win in either of their final
two Big Ten matches to accomplish
this. They did so Saturday with a big
victory over Ohio State.
The pressure of a must-win
situation pushed Michigan to a
higher level. They defeated a tough
Buckeye squad by an overwhelming
score of 8-1.
The Wolverines swept all six
singles matches and captured two of
the three doubles. The only loss
suffered came at No.1 doubles where
Michigan continues to struggle. The
No. 1 team of Christine Schmeidel
and Freddy Adam remains winless in
the Big Ten.
On Sunday, though, no amount
of pressure could push the team past
top-ranked Indiana. The loss came as
no surprise since the Hoosiers are
decidedly the strongest squad in the
conference. Indiana finished first in
the conference tournament last year
and was picked to repeat the feat this
season in the Big Ten preseason
coaches poll. Michigan couldn't
manage a single victory, falling to
the Hoosiers 9-0.
Michigan women's tennis player Amy Malik returns a backhand against
Ohio State Saturday. The Wolverines clinched a favorable seed in the
upcoming conference tournament despite being soundly defeated
Sunday.
Free pass in 12th gives Orioles 3-2 win
BALTIMORE (AP) - Mike
Henneman walked Brady Anderson
with the bases loaded in the 12th
inning Sunday, giving the Baltimore
Orioles a 3-2 victory over the
Detroit Tigers.
Detroit pitchers issued 12 walks
in the game, including four to
Anderson. Tigers pitchers walked 35
batters in the four-game series.
Henneman (0-1) entered the game
in the 11th inning but didn't get
anyone out in the 12th.
Craig Worthington doubled and
Joe Orsulak was intentionally
walked. Billy Ripken's bunt single
loaded the bases and Henneman
walked Anderson on a 3-1 pitch.
Gregg Olson (1-0), the fourth
Orioles pitcher, threw 2 2/3 hitless
innings to earn the victory.
Cecil Fielder's two-run homer in
the fourth off Jeff Ballard staked Jack
Morris to a 2-0 lead.
Morris allowed three hits in the
first six innings, but Joe Orsulak led
off the seventh with his first home
run of the season.
One out later, Anderson singled.
Edwin Nunez got Phil Bradley to
pop out but Jerry Don Gleaton
relieved and walked pinch-hitter
Randy Milligan. Urbano Lugo then
walked Cal Ripken to load the bases
but Lugo got Mickey Tettleton on a
flyout to get out of the jam.
Worthington's second home run
of the season tied the score in the
eighth against Lugo.
Braves 3, Reds 1
CINCINNATI (AP) - The
Cincinnati Reds finally lost, falling
to the Atlanta Braves 3-1 Sunday
after starting the season with a team-
record nine straight victories.
Dale Murphy's three-run homer
in the first inning helped the Braves
and their seven-game losing streak.
Tom Glavine (1-2) held the Reds,
who had been batting .337, to seven
hits in 7 2/3 innings. He gave up
Todd Benzinger's home run in the
seventh and left in the eighth after
Chris Sabo's two-out single.
Reliever Mike Stanton walked
Billy Hatcher, loading the bases. But
Barry Larkin, who began the game
leading the majors with a .564
average, ended the threat by
grounding out. Stanton got -his
second save.
Murphy hit his second home run
of the season off Tom Browning (2-
1). Jeff Blauser and Jim Presley
singled sharply ahead of Murphy's
homer.
Pistons top conference with
111-106 win oN
AUBURN HILLS (AP)- Bill
Laimbeer's jumper with 25.6
seconds left gave the Detroit Pistons
a season-ending 111-106 victory
over the Chicago Bulls Sunday at
the Palace.
Both teams now head for the
NBA playoffs. The defending
champion Pistons, who finish the
season with a record of 59-23 to lead
the Eastern Conference, will face the
eighth-seeded Indiana Pacers in the
first round.
The third-ranked Bulls (55-27)
will play the sixth-seeded Milwaukee
Bucks.
er Chicago
The Bulls had the ball twice in
the final 25 seconds but Michael
Jordan missed a short jumper, then
missed a desperation three-pointer in
the last few seconds.
Laimbeer and Isiah Thomas
converted two free throws each in the
last 13 seconds to clinch the victory.
Detroit led 105-99 with 1:15 to
play, but the Bulls scored seven
points in 27 seconds to take a one-
point lead with 36.5 seconds
remaining.
The Pistons open the playoffs at
home Thursday.
