The Michigan Daily - SPORTSMonday - Monday, March 14, 1994 - 9 Men's tennis crushes Eastern Michigan, 7-0 By JENNIFER DUBERSTEIN FOR THE DAILY "There is nothing like winning, and there is nothing like winning de- cisively," Michigan men's tennis coach Brian Eisner said after the Wolverines' 7-0 victory over Eastern Michigan on Friday. Michigan won the six singles matches and two of the three doubles to shutout the Eagles. This match-up was not expected to be difficult because EMU came into the match with a 0-5 record. "Psychologically when you go into a match like this it is not always easy to play real well," Eisner said. Although the match was not piv- otal, the Wolverines "came away with a lot of positives." "The point is to get the most out of a match like this and still improve your game and still play well," Eisner said. The Wolverines have been work- ing on their concentration levels and focus, but still feel that there is room for improvement. "We knew we were going to win," sophomore Peter Pusztai said. "It was hard to focus." "The mental game is not some- thing that is going to improve in one or two games," junior Adam Wager said. A key goal for this match was to work out the kinks in the doubles game. The only set lost was in third doubles, played by junior Mike Nold and freshman Andy Yani. "Our two players were a little tight and they wanted to play well," Eisner said. "So, it was one of those things where we couldn't get it going. Our total effort was working on doubles. Our doubles has to continue to get better and better because with Minne- sota and Iowa coming up, we really have to win the doubles match." In two weeks, Michigan will be- gin its Big Ten season against Minne- sota. The Wolverines will be prepar- ing for their upcoming schedule. "We are focusing mainly on indi- viddal work and any problems any- one has with their game," Wager said. Still the outlook for the Big Ten is positive. "I feel confident that if we do improve we'll be right in the thick of it to have a chance to win the confer- ence championships," Eisner said. "We need to be ready to play every match no matter who you are playing or whether you are at home or on the road." Wilkinson injures knee as women gymnasts beat Spartans By TIM SMITH DAILY SPORTS WRITER When a team is on aroll, it doesn't expect anything to get in its way. Friday night, in the first meet of a home and home with Michigan State, the No. 3 Michigan women's gym- nastics team suffered an injury to a key performer. Senior Wendy Wilkinson, who has been sidelined for weeks with a knee injury, attempted to help the team by defying the odds and finishing her final season by competing solely on the uneven bars. Wilkinson seemingly had over- come her injury by turning in an im- pressive performance on the bars. However, her season was shattered when she came down too hard on the dismount and her knee buckled. "She's trying so hard to come back and compete the bars for us," junior All-American Beth Wymer said. "It's really upsetting for not only her but for everyone." The Wolverines did finish strong, scoring 194.475 to Michigan State's 187.35. The Wolverines also dominated the all-around scores, sweeping the top three spots. Other high finishers for the Wolves were Kelly Carfora and Dianna Ranelli in the floor exercise, coming in second and third respectively with scores of 9.825 and 9,775. On the balance beam, McDonald captured second with a 9.75, while Wilkinson and sophomore Tina Miranda tied for third in the uneven bars with a 9.575. Sophomore All-American Wendy Marshall captured second on the vault with a 9.85 while Carfora claimed third with a 9.775. In Sunday's meet in East Lansing, the Wolverines won 191.00 to 188.575.

SENIORS Continued from page 7 not at theirs Saturday," Darden said. The team has been trying very hard to get the Board of Regents to reevaluate its case. "We go in every month and we ose new questions," Toni said. "We pose new solutions to have this team stay financially funded and a part of the University and yet no one re- sponds to us." Darden and the team have re- searched the financial side of cutting the program. Since the men's gym- nastics program only accounts for less than one percent of this year's total Athletic Department budget the team has trouble understanding why they were chosen to be cut. "We're asking just to survive," Toni said. "We don't have an adver- tising budget and no promotion bud- get. We're not asking for it back, we For the best coverage of Michigan's NCAA tournament run... Read Daily * Sports just want the team to exist. "We can do it on our own. We proved it this year." The team has enjoyed competing at the University, but is unhappy with the politics of the issue. They have not been given the opportunity to present their case opposing the department's decision to cut the pro- gram. "I've had a great experience here," senior Seth Rubin said. "I wouldn't trade any of it. It's definitely bitter- sweet." -. .a. _.
