state champion in singles. Rutherford
comes to Michigan from Calgary,
Canada where she was ranked fifth
nationally.
With only one senior on this
year's roster, the team will have to
depend on its youth. In addition to
this being the beginning of an opti-
mistic year for the team, 2000 gradu-
ate Daniel Lund returns to the team
as an assistant coach. Coach Ritt has
only positive things to say about the
return of her former star.
Ritt is excited to
begin the season.
"Since Septem-
ber 13, the team
has made lots of
progress and we're
very anxious to
compete," Ritt

"Daniel had an
outstanding career
as a student-athlete,"
Ritt said. "She's an
excellent role model'
for the girls because
she has a love for
Michigan and a pas-
sion for tennis."
"the team needs a test to see where
they stand and to see what they're
doing well."
The singles are divided into the
blue, maize and wolverine flights. In
last year's. competition, Michigan
dominated each field, placing first in
each division and claiming the top
two spots in three of the four. After
losing just one of their top six sin-
gles players from last year, this
year's Wolverines will look to
become even stronger.
Michigan returns its top two play-
ers from last year - sophomores
Kavitha Tipirneni and Chrissie
Nolan - and adds two highly-touted
freshman in Michelle DaCosta and
Leanne Rutherford. DaCosta comes
to Michigan from Huber Heights,
Lund's excitement at being back
in Ann Arbor is evident.
"It's great. I love Ann Arbor,"
Lund said. "Bitsy's great, and having
this team makes it even better.
Bitsy's very intune with the team
and each individual's needs. She'll
put in the time needed with each
player, whether it's practicing on the
court or helping in anyway that she
can."
Lund, who is ranked fifth on
Michigan's all-time win list with 80
singles victories replaces Sarah Cyg-
niak, who was the assistant coach
last season.
Lund's also excited to return to the
Varsity Tennis Center, which she
sees as a vital recruiting tool.

The Michigan men's soccer team
prepared for Wednesday's game at
Oakland by focusing on not overlook-
ing the young team. With a major test
from powerhouse Indiana awaiting the
Wolverines on Sunday, the team want-
ed to be ready for Oakland.
However, the Wolverines could not
have prepared for the early turn of
events that faced them in the first half
of their match.
With the game scoreless in the
fourth minute of the first half, defense-
man Michigan's Dave George was
given two yellow cards for fouls less
than a minute apart and ejected from
the game. Michigan was then forced to
play Oakland a man down - 11-on-
10.
Despite the ejection, the Wolverines
managed to rally for a 2-2, double-
overtime tie.
"It was a tough call to make," Michi-
gan coach Steve Burns said. "To give a

ever place on any of my players, espe-
cially Tyler because he is a senior, is
that of leadership and doing his person-
al best." If it is leadership that is
required of Smith, then he has some
young talent to work with. Freshman
Daren Tielsch is a quick forward who
will likely play the three position. If
Smith is to find help up front out of the
incoming Penn State class, it may come
in German import Jan Jagla. Jagla is an
athletic 6-foot-l 1, and can shoot the
ball well - giving the Nittany Lions a
possible offensive threat on a team with
a lot of unknowns.
.Penn State gets another shot at Tem-
ple early in the season, and also faces a
tough non-conference test when it trav-
els to Beantown to play defending Big
East champions Boston College.
The Nittany Lions put together one
of their best seasons in recent memory
player two yellow cards that early is
difficult, and it really changed the out-
come of the game."
George was disappointed by the
calls, and the fact that his fouls left his
team. short-handed.
"We were playing our normal man-
marking defense and that involves a lot
of bumping and contact," George said.
"I did what I normally do on defense,
but the ref called it very tight - espe-
cially to give two cards in that short of
a period of time."
Quickly after the ejection, Mychal
Turpin netted a goal after getting in
alone to put Michigan up 1-0.
Oakland responded with two goals of
its own to take a 2-1 lead into halftime.
"The quick goal helped us," George
said. "I felt that the effort was there.
The first ten minutes we were kind of
struggling to figure out how to play.
But we went in at halftime, 'regrouped,
and did good job."
The Wolverines were able to score
the equalizer as Tom Gritter punched in
a goal in the second half.

productive players will make it extraor-

most (southern schools) our tennis
center has a top of the line indoor
facility."
Leading into this invitational, the
Wolverines are not only looking to
play well there, but to improve upon
their overall performance from last
year.
After finishing 2-8 in the Big Ten
(7-13 overall), this now experienced
team looks to move forward in a pos-
itive direction.
"Last year was a year of growth,"
Lund said. "They struggled, but it'll
pay off with a strong fall and then
match play season. The younger
players on this team now know the
level it takes to compete at college.
Jumping from juniors to college is a
big step and with the experience that
last year's freshmen gained from
playing one and two, they'll add a lot
of youthful maturity to this team."
