GRAND RAPIDS -- Two witns comobined to give the
Michigan women's basketball team a 60-point margin of victoty
for the weekend, as the Wolverines suffocated New Hampshire
81-49 Friday, and Western Michigan 84-56 yesterday.
Michigan doubled up its opponents in the seceotnd half of both
gatmes this weekend, outscoring tlhe WildcatIs 52-26 atnd the
Broncos 46-23 in hard-fought second-half efforts. But Michigan
tranoaged joist a six-point and five-point lead goitng into halftimeo
against its oppotnents, respeetively.
Thnough hcr teammtes took care of business inth ~e second
half this weekend freshmnan Jennifer Smoith kept the Wolverines'
overall sluggish first-half performances at bay with a combined
18 points on 8-of-ID shooting and 10 rebounds this weekend.
"I just like to go in thoere strong' Smith said. "At the begin-
nitog of the games, I know their guards are not looking for the
post" to double tentm.
Thtough it says Smith is 6-foot-3 ott the rostet; it' likely thoe
Wkolverines are just Irving to dmaw the focus away fromtrhtleir up-
and-cotoning freshman.
"Shne's way taller than tht,' center LeeAtn ies said. "It's
more like 6-foot-4 or 6-foot-5."
Thotugh it's utnsure if Smith tas groot since hcr last measure,
tere's no doubt thtat her p1ainiometohas shot up. Not only has
coach Sue Gotevara recetntls put lint into thr starting rotatiott, boit
felloss center flies has ofteto rode the benchltdote to fouls, causinog
Smoitho to see more actiot.
Sitth "has done a very nice job,"(Gurvara said of Snmith. "Sloe
rns thin floor pretty well, but for her it's lust a matter of genting
thoat experience and getting that playiog tinme"
With joist seveno games.ounde~rhbr brlt,(Guevara said Simitlo is
getiting innalotable experience. Stnitho played 30 minutes in
Michoigan's victors osver Wrstern Michigan, and mooch of it
itvols-ed Snmitho fighting for position th ~e paint.
"She's beeto able to play againost a lot of differenot types of peo-
pl1e, svhich I ithink is good"'Guoevara said.
D~espite being bootoped around Snmitho has learned not to shoy
assas from postinog 001 to the basket.
"I's-c started lo go u13 ohere anodl tot woorrv about the cotntact boot

Thoougho Simith can hold h~er own -when3sloe is the otnly
Wolverinte dos-t low, sle oessrks evn better with Bies. Both
domtinoated Western Michigan yesterday, each boastitog double
digits in points and reboinds.
-"Tloat's not a bad comnbinatiso' Guevara said.
The combohinationo lets Bios aind Smoitho feed otff each obher ;
"We just knosw-whlat cacho other'is geoing tos do,' Sithl said. "I
