"The match was actually much closer than the score indicates," said Women pu netters take 5thl n By BARB BARKER First singles player Marion Kremer qualified for the national AIAW tour- nament at the regional MAIAW tourney in Madison, Wisconsin last weekend, but thecrest of the Michigan women net- ters did not fare as well. The Wolverines lost their opening match on Friday to Michigan State, 5-4. Then the fourth-seeded women bounced back to rip Western Michigan and Ohio State, respectively, on Saturday and Sunday by identical 8-1 counts to finish in fifth place. Michigan had defeated Michigan State in three of their four confrontations this season prior to the tournament. "THE MATCH WITH Michigan State was a very crucial one for us to take," said Michigan head coach Ollie Owens. "They had defeated us last weekend in the state (SMAIAW) tournament, 5-4, and we wanted to get back. Marion's loss at number one singles, 6-2, 6-3 was a real blow to us since a win could have S clinched the match. "Going into the tournament, I was hoping to finish at least in third or four- th place, so I was obviously somewhat disappointed to end up at fifth," he said. Indiana took first place in the eight- team tournament with northwestern and Wisconsin following in the second and third spots, respectively. Kremer, who sports an overall season record of 20-6, was one of two players from the region to qualify for the national tournament singles com- petition, which begins June 8 in Tem- pe, Ariz.
