The Michigan Daily- Sports Monday- March 16, 1992- Page 7 Women's tennis tops Ohio State, 8-1 by Sharon Lundy Daily Sports Writer The Michigan women's tennis team's Big Ten season received a much needed boost this weekend, as the Wolverines defeated Ohio State Saturday, 8-1 . Michigan had suffered consecu- tive losses to Big Ten rivals Wisconsin and Northwestern earlier this season and the team was anxious for a Big Ten win. "Things hadn't been going that great for us so far," co-captain Amy Malik said. "We'd lost some matches to other schools that we should have won, and we wanted to get out there and get the job done." The Wolverines swept all the singles matches in two sets. Kalei Beamon defeated Ohio State's Kelly Story, 6-3, 6-4, at No 1. Kim Pratt, Jaimie Fielding, and Allison Schlonsky defeated their opponents at No. 2, 3, and 4 singles respec- tively, by identical 6-3, 6-1 scores. At No. 5, Malik posted a 6-4, 6-3 victory over Myerly Kertis. At No. 6, Liz Cyganiak defeated Stephanie Greene, 6-0, 6-2. "We had practiced really in- tensely the week before the match," Beamon said. "We really wanted our first Big Ten win, so we worked hard and we did it." Michigan's only loss was at No.1 doubles. Beamon and Pratt lost to Ohio State's Story and Villena, a nationally-ranked doubles team, 6-3, 6-4. But the teams of Fielding and Jennifer Lev at No. 2, and Malik and Cyganiak at No. 3, pulled through for the Wolverines, both with 6-4, 6- 1 victories. "We worked on using our oppo- nent's style of play to our advantage during this past week of practice," Beamon said. "The practices and drills were more geared to who we were playing, and I think it made a difference." The Wolverines were eager to meet Big Ten leader Indiana Sunday. Yet Sunday morning, there were no Hoosiers in sight. Indiana had expressed concern about playing at the Indoor Track and Tennis Building, and since it was too cold to play outdoors, the team did not arrve. 1 - .O) I*1St. Patrick's Day specials MOJLLY STVENS/Daily Saturday, the Michigan women's tennis team crushed the Buckeyes, 8-1, -but did not play its scheduled match Sunday when Indiana failed to show.

Every Tuesday: Beat-the-clock by Adam Miller Daily Sports Writer "That's Incredible!" No, not the old television show, but the string of unlikely circum- stances surrounding the Michigan men's tennis team's 5-4 victory over Purdue Friday at the Liberty Sports Complex. "We keep things interesting," Michigan coach Brian Eisner said after the Wolverines (3-1 in the Big Ten, 3-4 overall) defeated the Boilermakers (0-1, 7-2) in the last match of the day. That match, a three-set contest at No. 3 doubles between Michigan's Mitch Rubenstein and Greg Artz and Purdue's Lisandro Lorenzini and Max Eisenbud, typified the after- noon. Rubenstein and Artz had never played as a team before, but were forced into the pairing by a string of injuries. The first casualty was No. 1 singles player David Kass, who sat out a match to rest his tendinitis- 'plagued right forearm. Next to fall was Rubenstein's scheduled partner, No. 5 singles player John Lingon. Eisner said that Lingon's "very minor" knee injury VUrned into a "very major" one in his singles match with Eisenbud, and he had to retire in the second set. Finally, Eric Grand injured his back, slamming into a pole at the rear of the court in the middle of his doubles clash with Michael *Gucciardo and Andy Berlinski. Grand was in obvious pain through the rest of the contest as he and part- ner Scooter Place fell, 6-3, 6-2. Artz, a rookie out of Grosse Pointe, Mich., had never played a match for Michigan before Friday. Yet, he and Rubenstein combined for the most dramatic victory of the day. Down 1-4 in the first set, the duo stormed back to take the set in a tiebreaker, 7-6 (7-3). The second set went to Purdue, 6-4, but Rubenstein and Artz exploded in the third, putting Lorenzini and Eisenbud away, 6-2, and giving Michigan the victory. "For (Artz) to come in off the bench like this, at the last minute and play the level of tennis that he did ... was just a tremendous performance," *Eisner said. "If I had to select an MVP of this match, it would cer- tainly be Greg Artz." -h .-m Others might choose Dan Brakus. The sophomore ordinarily plays No. 2 singles, but, due to Kass' injury, had to handle No. 1 Boiler Scott Micus. At the beginning of the match it looked like the pressure might be too much for him - he double faulted on the first point - but soon the all-Big Ten player hit his stride. Brakus' typically erratic serve was consistent, and he recorded sev- eral aces. He broke Micus' serve in the seventh game to lead, 5-3, in the first set, and then took the set, 6-3. Brakus went on to take the second set, and the match, 6-4. Brakus then teamed with Terry London at No. 1 doubles to defeat previously unbeaten Micus and Dan Poole, 6-3, 7-5. "I'd say Dan was dominant to- day," assistant Tim Madden said. 8-9 9-10 10-11 11-12 250 Well Drinks 500 Well Drinks $1.00 Well Drinks $1.50 Well Drinks 310 S.
