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."
The Wolverines are expected to
