I Hall receives one-game suspension for scuffle Netters coast to 8-1 by Ryan Herrington Daily Basketball Writer It did not take long for the Michigan Swomen's basketball teum to lose the services of Michelle Hall. Hall, who made her return to the Wolverine lineup just last weekend follow- ing an early-season foot injury, was suspended by the NCAA for her involvement in a scuffle with Indiana's Shirley Bryant in Sunday's 85- 49 loss to the Iloosiers. Ill a contest marred by physical play, especially in the low-post area, tempers climaxed midway through the second half. l lall, posting up against the first-year lloos- ier forward, went for a rebound and the two collided. Hall Words were ex- *changed between the two players. Before any punches were thrown, referee Bill Titus stepped in and gave both players double flagrant fouls, ejecting them from the contest with 6:28 remaining in the game. Under NCAA rules, any player ejected from a game for whatever reason is to be sus- pepded for one gune following the ejection. The Big Ten conference supports the policy, which went into effect prior to this season. - hall will sit out of Friday's miatchup against *Michigan State. Bryant was also suspended and will miss Indiana's game against Illinois. Michigan coach Bud VanDeWege did not question the NCAA's decision to suspend Hall. "I support the rule," VanDeWege com- mented. "I agree with the rule and fully sup- port the action that the official took, as well as the NCAA and the Big Ten." In addition to the loss of Hall, Michigan received news this weekend that reserve for- wards Latara Jones and Sherell Stanley will both be sidelined due to injuries. Jones dislocated her knee and will be out for the remainder of the season. She suffered the sune injury in the preseason, forcing her to miss Michigan's first seven games. Vanl)eWege is investigating the possibility of redshirting.Jones, who has played only five games this season. Stanley is suffering from a recurring shoulder problem, which she injured for the fourth time this season during the pregune shootaround prior to the Indiana contest. Iler status is questionable and will not oflicially be determined until later this week. THE RECO)RDB OOK; Junior center Trish Andrew blocked five shots Sunday at Indiana, giving her a total of 89 on the season. That breaks by one the Michigan single-season record which she set last year. Andrew also moved into sixth place on the Wolverines' career rebound list and became the 10th leading career scorer. She now has 521 rebounds and 925 poiits in her two-and-one- half seasons. victory ov by Sharon Lundy Daily Sports Writer The Michigan women 's tennis team cruised to an 8-1 victory in its home opener this weekend against+ Eastern Michigan. Wolverine sin- gles players led the strong victory, each with decisive two-set matches. "We played well in singles," Michigan coach Bitsy Ritt said. "EMU was more competitive in some slots than others, but we played well across the board to win." At No. I singles, Wolverine Kalei Beanon led the team with a victory over Eastern Michigan's Caryn Stube, 6-1, 6-1. Michigan's Amy Malik defeated Eagle Naomi Mokelke, 6-4, 6-1, for the triumph at No. 2 singles. First-year Wolverine Jamie Fielding defeated EMU's Nicole Gottschalk at No. 3 singles, 6-2, 6-0. Ritt was pleased with the per- formance of her first-year players. "This was our first competition since early November and the first dual meet of the season, and it turned out to be a good start," Ritt said. "The freshmen needed this type of experience the most." At No. 4 singles, Michigan se- nior Kim Pratt displayed a solid 6- 0, 6-2 victory over Lauren er Eagles Watassek. Another first-year Wolverine, No. 5 singles player. Allison Schlonsky, topped Julie Thompson, 6-2, 6-1. Michigan co- captain Freddy Adam played strongly in a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Jenny Beigh at No.6 singles. At the No.1 doubles position. the Eagles' Stube and Mokelke de- feated Pratt and Fielding for Michigan's only defeat of the meet. "At No.1 doubles, I felt that EMU really won the net," Ritt said. "Stube and Mokelke have been playing together for a while and have very quick hands. We began to become more competitive in the second set when we began to lob the ball more and keep back from the net. EMU won almost every point when all four players were crowding the net." For Michigan's doubles tri- umphs, Adam and Malik defeated Watassek and Thompson, 6-2, 6-1, at No. 2 doubles. Beamon and rookie Liz Cyganiak combined at No. 3 doubles to post a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Beigh and Glottschalk. "We have another meet in two weeks to help us tune up before Northwestern and Wisconsin," Ritt said. "This match was compet- itive, and we can see the areas where we need improvement." t M' x 1 t'. 04 14 } A Host Illini rule Blue at weekend track meets' Men cruise into second place Women taste first defeat of season { by Bruce Inosencio Daily Sports Writer Michigan's Dan Oden, Tony Carna and Gregg Duffy each won their event Saturday in an indoor track meet at Champaign. The Wolverines ended up losing to host Illinois, but they easily pulled away from the rest of the competition. The final results of the five-way meet found Illinois scoring 100 points; with Michigan (68), Eastern Illinois (40.5), Western Illinois (26.5), and North Central (16) struggling to keep up with the Fighting Illini. Carna posted a winning time of 14:32.3 in the 5,000-meter run. Also placing in the 5,000 for the Wolver- ines was .1ien Finlayson, who fin- ished second in 14:30.08. Michigan also captured first- place points in the mile run. Oden ran to a 4:10.02 victory, but his competition was right on his heels. Second place went to Illinois' Jason West, who crossed the line in 4:10.18. In the 600, Duffy ran his way to first place with a time of 1:20.75. Duffy, like Oden, also won by a ma- row margin - Illinois' Arvella Brooks finished only .84 seconds be- hind Duffy. Although the Wolverines calne up short this weekend, Michigan coach Jack Harvey said he is still confident. "We've got a good te;un, but right now we don't have the first- place points we need if we're going to win meets," Iuvey said. "Brad Darr and Dan Reddan need to help out, and I'm sure they will. As long as Oden, Ou-na and Duffy keep coming through for us, we'll stay right in there," Harvey added. Reddan placed second in the high jump this weekend, but Darr was unable to clear his starting height in the pole vault. by Bernadette Ramsey After two weeks of sweet vic- tory, the Michigan women's track team had its first taste of the bit- terness of defeat Saturday. The Wolverines finished in third place at Illinois with 45 points, while Illinois and Iowa tied for first with 50 points. "Things went OK, but not as well as we expected," Michigan coach Junes Harvey said. "We got off to a very good start, so we may have been expecting too much since it's still early in the season." Harvey had high expectations for the sprinters and long sprinters, based on their earlier efforts. "The first two meets they did really well; this week they seemed to level off," Harvey said. "They're running well, and it's still early so I'm not too concerned." Although Harvey believes the Wolverines may have underesti- mated the strength of the Hawkeyes in the middle-distance and distance events, he was happy with the way the Michigan women responded. "Iowa did really well in the quarter-mile and mile," he said. "They proved to be better thamiwe had anticipated," I larvey said. The Outstanding Athlete Award went to Michigan athletes Court- ney Babcock and Jennifer Ridgley. Babcock, running in her second col- legiate meet, finished second in the mile with a personal- and colle- giate-best time of 4:52.09. Ridgley finished third in the 400- meter run with a time of :58.16 and was a member of the third-place mile re- lay with a split time of :55.4.
