The Michigan Daily - Thursday, April 5, 2001- 9A
Michigan remains focussed on qualifying for NCAA Tournament
Metters to face the
heart of the Big Ten
Tomorrow the Michigan women's
tennis team will head into Ohio State
andtPenn State looking to move their
Big=Ten record over the .500 mark for
the first time this season.
After playing well in a sweep over
th' partans, the Wolverines are confi-
dent in themselves in the face of their
approaching matches.
Michigan will have to raise its level
of play as it will face No. 27 Ohio State
and Northwestern - which is ahead of
the Wolverines by one match in the Big
Ten standings. The Buckeyes' Kristy
Dascoli was recently named Big Ten
pla r of the month. Ohio State is on a
game winning streak.
ile the Nittany Lions are not as
hrded Buckeyes they are a challenge
none the less. Penn State has lost two in
a row but will have a warm-up match
against Michigan State prior to playing
Michigan. They also started off the sea-
son-unranked but have climbed to as
hig as 42 this season. .
"Everyone is very excited about this
w end and a win or two will really
h our Big-Ten standings," senior
Szandra Fuzesi said.

M' golfers have tough
competition in Indiana
Coming off of a disappointing sev-
entb-place finish in the San Antonio
Shootout, Michigan women's golf team
has spent the last week-and-a-half prac-
tig hard to rebound at the Indiana
Invitational on Apr. 7-8.
"The majority (of girls) have been
(working) on putting, up-and-downs,
and some girls have worked on ball
striking," Michigan coach Kathy
Teichdrt said.
Junior Courtney Reno said that
everyone has worked individually on
the weakest parts of their games.
A >rding to Reno, for her that has
been her up-and-downs and her sand
game.
T ichert added that another key to
success this weekend will be "not wor-
rying about the uncontrollable," such as
the weather and how the other teams in
the field play.
The tournament will host 15 NCAA
Central Regional teams including six of
the top 35 teams in the country.
J's an extremely competitive field,"
Teichert said.

onhship.

Better results expected
with improved weather
Ohen the Michigan men's track
team left Raleigh, N. C. last weekend to
arrive in a snow-blown Ann Arbor,
they thought it was a great April Fool's
trick*
But this weekend the Wolverines
will have to leave the sun and warmth
of Ann Arbor and go back to N.C. to
compete in the Duke Invitational.
Last weekend's Raleigh Relays was
the second outdoor meet for the sprint-
ers and marked the start of the, outdoor
s n for the rest of the team.
"It appears that we're over the
hump," Michigan coach Ron Warhurst
said. "As it starts getting warmer, we
can start getting our stuff going pretty
good."
Warhurst took his team to Durham
last year to run in the non-scoring meet,
but only the sprinters and field event
at tes will travel this trip.
tnior hurdler and sprinter Derek
Applewhite, who injured a tendon
behind his knee at the first outdoor
meet in San Diego just over two weeks
ago, might compete in the mile relay,
Warhurst said.

INTRODUCING NEW
ONCE-A-MONTH LUNELLE7
BIRTH CONTROL IN SYNC WITH
THE MOON AND YOU.
The moon is a source of beauty and emotion. For centuries, our
monthly cycle has mirrored the moon's. Now, for the first time,
there's birth control that's monthly, not daily: new Lunelle.
An injectable that's 99% effective without the daily hassle.
Lune/le is a combo of hormones that works continuously-all
month long. Given on time each month by your doctor,
prescription Lunel/e gives you birth control that's 99% effective.
That means you get monthly pregnancy protection without the
daily hassle-without the daily worry-of taking the Pill. And if
you want to get pregnant? Most women get back to ovulating
about two to three months after receiving their last injection.
Lunelle doesn't protect against HIV/AIDS or other sexually
transmitted diseases.
Hormonal birth control isn't for everyone.
Pregnant women or women with blood clots, chest pain, certain
cancers, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or a history of liver
disease, stroke, or heart attacks shouldn't take Lunelle. Serious
risks that can be life threatening include blood clots, stroke, and
heart attack. And hey, no smoking! It increases these risks,
especially if you're over 35 and smoke 15 or more cigarettes a day.
During the first few months of taking Lunelle, most women have
a change in their periods, which may include no bleeding,
irregular bleeding, or spotting. This change may continue with
use in up to one third of women. In studies, while some women
lost weight on Lunelle, the average change was an increase of
4 pounds in the first year. But you should know, some women
gained 10 or more pounds in the first year.
So ask your healthcare professional about new Lunelle.
Why worry about taking a daily Pill when there's monthly Lunelle?
Birth control inspired by the moon.
