The Wolverines opened the new season with several lopsided victories behind the strength of the teams' newest members. This weekend the team played host to Bowling Green, Cincinnati, Depaul and Western Michigan at the annual Wolverine Invitational. Michigan dominated the entire event, losing only one match the entire week- end. Both of the singles flights finals and the doubles final on Sunday pitted Michigan teammates against each other. "The players expected to do well - the coaches expected to do well." Michigan coach Bitsy Ritt said. "We still have things to work on, but I am very pleased with the overall effort." There were some fresh faces leading the charge for the Wolverines this weekend. Freshmen Chrissie Nolan and Kavitha Tipirneni competed against each other in the doubles final as well as in the top singles final. Nolan pre- vailed in the singles match by a score of 6-3, 3-6, 6-3. In the doubles final, Tipirneni teamed with Jen Duprez to defeat Nolan and fellow freshmen Kim Plaushines 9-8 (7-4). Ritt was delighted with the perfor- mance of the freshmen. "This is a great freshmen class. Three of the four came in very highly recruited. They really had a great tour- nament. After losing three quality seniors, the program really needed a strong entering class. Brooke Hart, Danielle Lund and Erryn Weggenman "really did a lot for our program. It's great to have these girls to fill in the holes they left." "There is an adjustment to the col- lege level, but I am really looking for- ward to it," Tipirneni said. "We have a lot of depth this year. If we all stay healthy, we could be really successful." On October 14, team members will travel to Pacific Palisades, Calif. for the ITA All-America Championship. tu 1 I.'
