Shortly after the end of final
exams the men's tennis team
traveled west for a week-long, three-
city trip - not to rest its nerves,
but to play more tennis.
The trip concludes this weekend
with the Big Ten Championships
in Minneapolis. Sunday in
Evanston, Michigan started the
voyage with a 6-1 triumph over
Northwestern. The Wolverines
followed up with an 8-0 whipping
of Iowa in Iowa City.
Head coach Brian Eisner's squad
takes a 9-0 Big Ten record into the
finals. Michigan will draw a first-
round bye as the tournament's first
seed. Overall, the Wolverines are
24-2 and ranked 18th nationally.
The tournament champion advances
to the NCAA Championships held
in Athens, Ga., May 16-23.
"I was pleased with our
performance in last week's matches
because we just came out of finals,"
Eisner said. "Now we're working
hard to play much better during the
tournament."
