But some wheels move slower than others. New coach Peggy Bradley- Doppes stepped in to save a fledg- ling program this year with a winning history at North Carolina on her side. But in seven games, the Wolverines have been able to salvage only one victory. Tonight's game against Eastern Michigan will yet another opportunity for adley-Doppes to jumpstart her team. Is Bradley-Doppes preparing for Eastern Michigan by reviewing Michigan's record against the Hur- ons? Not exactly. "When I took over the job I did two things. I got rid of the old tapes and I decided that I was going to start fresh without any preconceived notions," she said. And so she hopes that the mo- *ntum the Wolverines have gained with a weekend victory over Central Michigan will be enough to put their losing ways behind them. Still, there are other obstacles on the way to winning. The team has been hobbled by injuries all season, with two starters currently sidelined. Sophomore center Tarnisha Thomp- son has yet to play a game this year Se to ligament tears in her ankle. ompson's absence has slowed Michigan's offensive production. "Offensively, we're doing okay. But it's real hard to be an offensive team when you don't have your starting center in," said Bradley- Doppes. The team has tried three different replacements while waiting for Thompson to return. Senior Julia Sturm's performance has been a bright spot for the team. Since moving from right side to middle blocker this season, her play has aided the team. Impressive as well is sophomore Chris White who has done well at the other middle blocker position. This year's team is composed of ten first year players, a young team by most standards. Bradley-Doppes points out that a different player may lead the team on any given night, and hopes these younger players continue this trend as well as develop more consistency in their play. In some ways the team's 1-6 record is deceiving. The matches they lost to Louisville, Boise.State, and Utah State all went three games and all were close. "The kids are playing really hard...we're not win- ning and so I'm still a little disappointed, but we're certainly fighting all the way through," Bradley-Doppes said. Although the changestthe new coach has brought to the team may not be visible in terms of wins and losses, attitudes on the team are changing. The Wolverines of 1990 are a more disciplined team with better footwork, court positioning and other fundamental skills. "I think if you were to go to matches last year and compare them to this year, the girls' performance as far as individual and collective play is better. They look like they're playing on the same team now," Bradley-Doppes said. ANTHONY M.

Or almost any year for that matter. But it took until yesterday for Michigan men's swimming coach Jon Urbanchek to finally be dubbed U.S. Swim Coach of the Year. The American Swim Coaches Aociation, at its annual coaches convention and clinic, chose Urbanc- hek over finalists Eddie Reese and Mark Schubert, both of the Univer- sity of Texas. Urbanchek felt he was named, as was the Los Angeles Laker's Pat Riley in the NBA last season, more for his lifetime. of achievement than for last year in particular. "I was just lucky. It came as a surprise to me," Urbanchek said. "It (the award) was not just for this year. I think it was more of a way to reward 29 years in coaching." Urbanchek might have been helped in the voting this year by Michigan senior Mike Barrowman breaking the world record in the 200 yard backstroke and junior Eric Namesnik setting an American re- cord in the 400 yard individual medley. Said former Michigan swimmer and 1988 gold medalist Brent Lang "He deserved this more than anyone in the country. It was just a matter of time. I think the notoriety that Barrowman and Namesnik got him the attention and made them take a closer look at the program." The program includes five consecutive Big Ten men's swim- ming championships and top five NCAA finishes each of the last three seasons, including a 4th place finish last year. In addition, Michigan has placed a national-high four swim- mers (Lang, Barrowman, Namesnik and junior Eric Wunderlich) on this year's U.S World Championship team. Lang, however, feels Urbanchek's greatest strength is the personal attention he pays to his swimmers. "He's concerned about the devel- opment of people physically and mentally," he said. "When I was being recruited I told him even if I don't go to Michigan I want you to know that you're the most sincere, most trustworthy coach that I've met."' Urbanchek's next role will be as coach of the United States team at the upcoming World Championships in Perth, Australia. Iayes leads linksters to early season victory by John Nvo Daily Sports Writer A solid third round enabled the Michigan women's golf team to overtake Wisconsin and win -the Lady Wolverine Invitational this past weekend. Michigan posted a i95 team total in the 54-hole event to edge past their Big Ten foes by just two strokes. Despite a tournament low 77 re- corded by senior Becky Hayes, Mich- igan faltered to a 338 team total in Friday's first round. That left them in second place, nine strokes behind the Wisconsin squad. "I think they (Michigan) felt that Se home course was going to be an Invantage," Wolverine coach Sue Le- Clair said. "Maybe they were trying too hard to win at first. But they settled down and played the way I'm used to seeing them play." Michigan settled down and im- Dal WORK STUDY positions available with research group at: U of M Psychological Clinic Students from all academic disciplines are encouraged to apply. 764-3471 Phone Center Operators This is not a Telema rketing Job. proved their team score slightly in Saturday's round, carding a 333, but only picked up a single stroke on the front-running Badgers. It was on Sunday that they made their move. Hayes fired an 80, earning her medalist honors for the weekend, and helping the team to a solid 324 total for the final 18 holes. Hayes's 239 for 54 holes bested Wisconsin's Nicki Tiziani by seven strokes. "It all came down to the last group," LeClair said. "We were all sitting there on 18, waiting for those two (Becky and Tiziani). Becky camne through for us. She's one of my seniors. The past few years I haven't been able to rely on seniors, but this year we have six returners."

Jarrod Bunch, the other co- captain, said he does not have a problem playing at night, but he and senior safety Vada Murray worry about how the team will keep occupied Saturday afternoon. Murray said, "I don't like playing at night. It leaves too much time on your hands during the day. Playing at night, you lose something be- cause you get all psyched up and then lose it and then you have to get psyched up again." But do not worry about Murray being pumped for this game. In Murray's three years on the team, Michigan has lost three straight to the Fighting Irish. "Going down to South Bend this year, it's a whole different at- mosphere with Mo," Murray said. "There's so much anticipation and excitement this week. (South Bend) 'is a hard place to win, but it's the same thing when others come to Michigan Stadium. We realize they're no superpower football team. They bleed like we do." 6. USC 7. Tennessee 8. Nebraska 9. Colorado 10. Miami 11. Virginia 12. Texas A&M.
