Hlstoy: Cammalleri was selected to the CCHA's All-Conference first team this season. The center earned an honorable mention for the CCHA All- Rookie team last year. Cammalleri M' NOTES Baseball wins last two against McNeese The Michigan baseball team played ips first games outside the state of Florida as it went 2-1 in this past week- end's series at McNeese State in Lake Charles, La. After dropping a 7-1 game on Friday, the second contest ended the Wolverines' four-game losing streak as Bobby Korecky pitched Michigan to a 3-1 win in his five-hitter. Michigan continued its good fortune the next day in an 11-inning battle, winning 6-4. "To win like that on the road is out- standing;' coach Geoff Zahn said. The Wolverines came back from down 4- to rally against the Cowboys in the final game. Michigan cut the lead to 4-2 in the seventh. Michigan then erased the deficit with a two-out rally in the eighth -which started with Brock Koman getting hit by a pitch. Back-to-back doubles from Brandon Roberts and Gino Lollio tied the game at 4-4 to send it into extra innings. Lollio homered in the eleventh inning with Koman on base to take the 6-4 lead to help earn Tim Leveque his first win in relief. "I knew we could hit (McNeese pitcher Joey Poirrier)," Lollio said. "He threw me a pitch inside and I turned on it. It just kept carrying." - Benjamin Singer Guevara to chat live on Yahoo today Michigan women's basketball coach Sue Guevara will be live on Yahoo chat today from 4-5 p.m. The Wolverines were given the No. 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament yester- day and will face Virginia in the first round. By Jim Weber Daily Sports Writer It is an exciting time to be part of Michigan crew as the construction of a $1.2 million boathouse is nearing com- pletion on Belleville Lake. Few teams deserve the luxurious boathouse more than Michigan crew, as both the men's and women's teams are ranked in the top 10. But the men's team won't be using the new boathouse anytime soon as it was specifically made for the women's squad. Although they row for the same school and row against the same level of competition, the women are a varsity team while the men's crew is a varsity- club sport -a status recently created by Athletic Director Bill Martin that is between the club and varsity status. The women made the switch to a var- sity sport in 1996 due to Title IX of the Education Amendment Act which for- bids sexual discrimination of programs that receive federal money. To do this, Title IX demands equal funding of men's and women's sports which even- tually led to the initiation of the women's crew program as a varsity sport. "I think there are probably a few guys that get jealous when they see all the neat things the women get just because they're a varsity program," men's coach Greg Hartsuff said. Envy might be unavoidable but Hartsuff tries to steer it away from the women's team. "The thing I try to point out to the guys is don't hold it against the female athletes because it's not their fault," Hartsuff said. "This is a federal law and, agree with it or not, it's not their fault." Like their coach, the men try to keep a positive attitude toward their depriva- tion of adequate school funds and the women's crew team that receives all the benefits of school support. "They're an awesome team too," novice John Mumaw said. Because the separate squads are both Wolverines, Mumaw also considers the women's squad as part of their team. Club rower Joe Gibson emphasized that the men are not against the varsity status of the women. "We don't think the women's crew team shouldn't have varsity status, we just think men's crew should have it too," he said. As a varsity-club sport, the men are only given $5,000 annually whereas rower Scott Shapiro believes they could receive $200,000 to $300,000 from the school as a varsity squad. From the already meager funding, $3,000 is returned to the university as dues for being a club sport. The remaining $2,000 leaves the men $123,000 short of meeting their annual budget for things like boats, oars and travel costs. Along with each member of the team paying approximately $1,200 a year in order to participate, the rowers also have to help out in fundraising events. The first fundraiser is known as "Rent-a- rower," in which residents rent members of the team to do house and yard work. The team also collects donations from families and then row a 2,000 meter race for display for their "Row-a- thon" event. While working hard on and off the water to raise the money, they still donate 10 percent of the donations to charity. Without strong support from their school, the men have still become the top club team in the nation, beating many of the varsity squads as they fin- ished last season ranked ninth among all programs. Hartsuff knows what it really takes to be successful and he has proven it with his team's success. "When it is all said and done, you are going to line up on the line with the other programs and it's not going to really matter how the university has backed you. It's going to matter what you have done to that point." Wheelin' and Dealin' BRETT MOUNTAIN/Wa4I Daniel Eliman passes the ball In a wheelchair basketball game at the Dance Marathon on Saturday.

Coach Pat Riley said he would make the move as a precaution because he has been burned before by the NBA freeze on postseason ros- ters. Mourning is being treated for a kidney ailment discovered last October. Riley said his comments don't reflect any change in the prognosis that Mourning will miss the entire regular season and the playoffs. "I have not coached this team at all with any plans of Zo coming back," Riley said. Yankees ink another Cuban to roster TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - The New York Yankees formally announced the sign- ing of Cuban third baseman Andy Morales to a $4.5 million, four-year contract yesterday. Morales was added to the Yankees' 40-man roster. Morales is expected to start the regu- lar season in the minors. He is consid- ered a potential replacement for current third baseman Scott Brosius. Morales joined the Yankees yesterday and was warmly greeted by fellow Cuban defectors, pitchers Orlando Hernandez and Adrian Hernandez. Morales is best known for hitting a three-run homer in Camden Yards whf the Cuban National Team beattv Baltimore Orioles 12-6 in a 1999 exhi- bition game.

(AP) - Walking to the 18th green, Tom Lehman tucked his putter under his left arm and joined the gallery in celebration. They were giving 16-year-old Ty Tryon an ovation he will never forget. Tryon, a high school sophomore from Orlando, shot a 4-under-par 68 yesterday in the final round of the Honda Classic and finished his first PGA Tour event at 10-under-par. For his 39th-place finish, Tryon would have made $12,480 for his show- ing but collected nothing because of his amateur status. "I can't believe it's over, but at least I ENHANCE Tooth Whitening System Only $34.95 delivered. *- L had a great round today," Tryon said. He was off the leaderboard, but he's now on everyone's radar screen. "If I would have played in a PGA Tour event when I was 16, 1 wouldn't have broken 80," said Lehman, the 1996 British Open champion who played the final round with Tryon. "I would have been so uptight and ner- vous and so overwhelmed by the sur- roundings. I would have been choking my guts out the whole day." Doing something that even Tiger Woods never accomplished, Tryon made the cut in his first PGA Tour event - becoming the second- youngest player to make the cut in a tour event. Bob Panasik was 15 years and 8 months old when he made the cut at the 1957 Canadian Open. At 16 years and 9 months old, Tryon had rounds of 67-73- 70-68 on the par-72 TPC at Heron Bay.
