Big Ten baseball standings

By Jeff Phillips
Daily Sports Writer

With the toughest portion of the
Big Ten schedule behind them, the
Michigan men's tennis team does not
expect to lose another conference
match - including the Big Ten
Tournament.
"We have six more Big Ten match-
es, then three more in the tournament,
so nine matches in a row is our goal,"
senior Matt Wright said.
The Wolverines will be helped in
part by playing four of their remain-
ing six Big Ten dual matches at the
Varsity Tennis Center.
"We were on the road for awhile
and it really does make a difference,"
coach Mark Me'es said. "It is nice to
have someone else adjust to the courts
rather than us
Currently Michigan is hampered by
injuries to two senior leaders. Matt
Wright, the No. 1 singles and No. 1
doubles player, is slowed by a back
injury suffered against Northwestern
last Sunday.
"I came -lose to not playing
(against Michigan State)," Wright

said. " I am getting treatment on it and
it is just a day-to-day thing."
Co-captain and No. 2 doubles play-
er Brad McFarlane has missed the
past five matches due to a strained
calf muscle. Freshman Zach Held has
performed well in his place, by com-
piling a 2-2 record with senior John
Long.
On Wednesday the Wolverines
started the homestand with a convinc-
ing 5-2 win over Michigan State, and

will face No. 34 Indiana (3-2 Big Ten,
11-4 overall) and No. 39 Purdue (4-1,
8-7) this weekend.
"Both teams are very good and
both are very experienced," Mees'
said. "They play good doubles and are
solid No. I through No. 6."
Sophomore Ben Cox agrees.
"Both teams have, a .lot of talent,"
Cox said. "But Indiana is an upland
down kind of team and Purdue is pret-
ty young."
Like Michigan, Indiana and PurdueI
were soundly beaten by Illinois.
"I think that deep down some of us
questioned whether we ,could beat
(Illinois)," Wright said. "Even though
the score was lopsided, we were' in
there the whole time."
After two blowout losses, the
Michigan's confidence for the restof
the season is high.
"Our best match ha's yet to ,.be
played," Mecs said. "We just want to
play our best tennis at'the end of the
year."
The Wolverines will face Indiana
on Saturday and Purdue on Sunday" at
the Varsity Tennis Center. 'Both
matches begin at I p.m.
