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. EVAN PETRIE/Special to the Daily Michigan and Chris Floyd (7) ran by the lilini, but the Wolverines face a tougher test at Colorado next Saturday. e eA 191 'M' women's crew starts 1st year from beginning with tryouts By Andy Knudson Daily Sports Writer Michigan has taken another step to shore up its status as the Harvard of the Midwest. It has a varsity crew team. Tryouts for the inaugural women's varsity crew team began yesterday, as row at Michigan.

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 feW ... enough room on Argo Pond," crw - the Rothstein said. With t varsity sport the Michigan men's ing tryouts, club team, high sterday, with school and other uditioning for local crew teams all sharing its waters, e, the women were a Don't begin until bit crowded.

"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. Si EVAN P£TR~IJpecial to the Daiy Defensive back Chuck Winters doubled as a kick returner Saturday against Illinois. 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. See FOOTBALL, Page I A -.-- Deli and Vegetarian Sandwiches The University of Michigan I I ' ... s.r... re.ti,
