igan coach Kathy Teichert In the team's second tourna-
it's plenty difficult. Bauer merit last weekend, in which the

Wolverines placed a disappointing
seventh out of 12 teams, Bauer tied
freshman Milena Savich to lead the
Wolverines in individual play. They
shot a 234 in three rounds (78 aver-
age).
One person missing from the
crowd during the first two tourna-
ments was Ashley's sister, Meagan
Bauer, a freshman, who is now Ash-
ley's teammate.
"It's a lot different," Bauer said.
"She's not coming out and watching
me play at the tournaments. She's
actually on the team. It's nice to
know she's always there for me but
it's still a little different having her
on the team."
Teichert described the two sis-
ters as having a give-and-take rela-
tionship - not only do they feed off

each other, but Ashley helps Mea-
gan make adjustments.
"In golf, it is a very humbling
game," Teichert said. "We were just
humbled this past weekend, and
Ashley can be there for the players,
for her sister, in good and bad."
Bauer has always been there for
her team, and now is there for her
sister as well.
Her work ethic, leadership, and
intangibles are all in favor of her
succeeding the rest of her golf
career.
"There's expectation that you're
a role model, so what you do every
day reflects upon yourself and your
teammates, your coaches and your
program," Teichert said. "I think
that's one of the areas that Ashley
has strived in."
