Volleyball beached
again in Hawaii
No. 25 Louisville tops Michigan in three

By Dan Stillman

The Michigan women's volleyball
team is still looking for its first win of
the season after coming up empty late
Monday night in Honolulu, Hawaii,
against No. 25 Louisville - the
Wolverines' third-ranked opponent in
three games.
Michigan (0-3) closed out its stay at
the Wahine Classic with a 15-12, 15-
13, 15-10 loss to the Cardinals (2-1).
But Michigan coach Greg
Giovanazzi was encouraged once
again by his squad's performance
against stiff competition.
"Our middle hitters played great all
weekend, and Linnea (Mendoza) ran a
solid attack," Giovanazzi said.
Mendoza, a junior setter, dished out
45 assists in the match and moved into
second-place on Michigan's career
assist list.
The Wolverines could not overcome
Louisville's .339 hitting percentage,
62 kills and nine service aces.
The Louisville defense kept the
Wolverines at bay with 23 blocks.
For Michigan, junior Sarah Jackson
and sophomore Karen Chase each
notched 12 kills.
Defensively, Jackson and sopho-
more Linsey Ebert led the Wolverines
with four blocks each.
"I'm satisfied with our progress in
these matches against top teams,"
Giovanazzi said. "We continued to
improve each night."
Michigan started the weekend tour-
nament against the best of the best -
No. 1 Hawaii - in a packed Honolulu
Special Events Center.
From there, Michigan worked its
way down the ladder to No. 6 UCLA
and, finally, the 25th-ranked
Cardinals.
Now it's time for the top 25 to come
to Ann Arbor. This weekend, the
Wolverines will play No. IlI Florida
and No. 24 Georgia, both out of the
Southeastern Conference, as Cliff
Keen Arena plays host to the fourth-
annual Volleyball Challenge.
Illinois also will compete in the
tburnament, which pits Big Ten and
SEC teams against one another.

'M' women's crew

Michigan has taken another step to
shore up its status as the Harvard of
the Midwest. It has a varsity crew
team.

varsity crew team began yesterday, as

Fall races usually cover a three-mile
distance while spring competition is
decided over 2000 meters.
Michigan coach Mark Rothstein,
who was hired last year, has been
enjoying his roleastthe sculptor of a
first-year team.
"I'm on cloud nine," he said. "(The
coaching staff) can set the program in
a direction."
But Rothstein recognizes that
coaches (even on cloud nine) do not
get nine lives if they take a program in
the wrong direction.
"It's fun but it's also a big responsi-
bility," he said.
The change to varsity status helps
the team in several ways.
First, the coaching staff will no
longer have to convince promising
young rowers to pay an additional
$800-1000 - on top of tuition - to
tice space.
"There's not

"The support
coaching at a place
like Michigan is
great," Rothstein
said. "The resources of the athletic
department is the biggest change."
While the women's crew team's
finances have changed, Rothstein does
not expect-a different attitude or char-
acter to his team.
"It's largely the same people (as last
year),"he said."People make the char-
acter of the team, not resources."
But as the resources pile up, so do
the expectations.
"We definitely have some great kids
coming back," Rothstein said, as well a
couple of transfer students.
Michigan is the fourth team in the
Big Ten to support a women's crew
team at the varsity level, joining Ohio
State, Wisconsin and Iowa.
Rothstein hopes rumors of
Michigan State, Minnesota and others
following suit will come true. The Big
Ten will not support a conference
championship unless there are at least
six schools with varsity teams.

Wolverines to watch Colorado closely
By Barry Soloenberger
Daily Sports Editor
When most of America kicks off the first full week
of college football Saturday, the No. 12 Michigan
football team will find itself in a funny position.
At home. In front of the television.
But on their day off, you can bet the Wolverines
won't be watching Court-TV. They have another inter-
est - No. 5 Colorado's matchup with Colorado State
on ESPN2. Next Saturday, Michigan travels to
Boulder, Colo., for a date with the Buffaloes.
"I'd be a fool if I didn't watch (the game),"
Michigan's Jarrett Irons said. "I'm going to watch it
and learn as much as I can."
Yesterday, the senior linebacker was named Big Ten
Conference Defensive Player of the Week for his per-
formance in Michigan's 20-8 win over Illinois on
Saturday. The team co-captain recorded 15 tackles,
including a quarterback sack, one fumble recovery
and two pass break-ups.
As far as the Colorado game is concerned, it would
behoove the rest of the Wolverines to watch their next
opponent closely on Saturday.
The Buffaloes are awfully, awfully good.
Heisman Trophy hopeful Koy Detmer leads the
Colorado attack. The senior quarterback completed
20-of-33 passes for 254 yards and three touchdowns
in Colorado's 37-19 win over Washington State last
weekend. The game marked Detmer's return from a
season-ending knee injury of a year ago.
"I was nervous, probably more nervous than my
first start as a freshman," Detmer said. "I was anxious
to get that first hit and to get my motor going. Oncej
got hit, the nervousness really disappeared."
Detmer plays with confidence and is quick on his
feet. In addition to his three touchdown tosses, he ran
for a score against the Cougars.
"He's impressed me a lot;" Irons said. "I think we're
going to have some trouble with him. It will be a real
test for our defense."
Michigan coach Lloyd Carr isn't exactly thrilled
that his team is off Saturday, while the Buffaloes face
the Rams. But he knows the bye week won't be wast-
ed.
