MINNEAPOLIS - The Michigan
men's tennisteamcametolast weekend's
Big Ten Tennis Championships hoping
to end heavily favored Minnesota's two-
year reign as the conference's top team.
In the end, the Gophers proved
O much for the Wolverines, netting
their 39th straight Big Ten victory, 4-
0, and their third straight title.
"After a season of going through
every match playing to keep the streak
alive, it's a big relief to have won,"
Minnesota coach David Geatz said.
"Our guys played great today."
After surviving a scare by Penn State
Friday inthe openinground,the Wolver-
Wscruisedpastthird-seededNorthwest-
ern Saturday, 5-0, setting up Sunday's

showdown against the Gophers.
The Wolverines achieved a five-
point win as Adam Wager and Dan
Brakus completed their matches on
simultaneous points, almost racing
each other to victory.
Michigan had a chance to jump to
an early lead over Minnesota in the
doubles matches, but let the opportu-
nity pass them by.
"I thought we should have had the
doubles point,"Michigancoach Brian
Eisner said. "We had five match points
and couldn't get it done."
In singles play, Minnesota's Paul
Pridmore sank Brakus, the Big Ten
Player of the Year, in straight sets, 6-
3, 6-2. Brakus, playing with an in-
jured finger, lacked his usual power
and could not contend with

Pridmore's accurate shot placement.
After fighting off several match
points, Wolverine sophomore John
Costanzo fell to Big Ten Freshman of
the Year Lars Hjarrand, 6-4, 6-2.
Wager, Peter Pusztai and Geoff
Prentice had each earned a one-set
lead in their matches, but the meet
was stopped before they had a chance
to close out their victories.
"This is not a 4-0 match," Eisner
said. "It was much closer. We didn't
get a chance to finish the matches we
were ahead in."
The season will continue for the
Wolverines Friday when they com-
pete in the Region IV Qualifying
Tournament at Notre Dame. Michi-
gan is seeded third and will face the
host Fighting Irish.

Wisconsin runs away with women's title

Michigan's loss this weekend cost it the Big Ten Championship.

The Michigan women's golf team
arrived at the Big Ten Championships
on fire, having just won their first
tournament in two years. The Wolver-
ines' flame flickered out, though, dur-
ing a disastrous second round, which
sent Michigan on its way to a 10th-
place finish.

The Badgers' combination of Rachel
Wiese,LauraBleyhland Alissa Herron,
all of whomplaced among the top six,
was enough to offset the play of Hoo-
sier Erika Wicoff, who finished first.
Freshman Wendy Westfall was
Michigan's top individual golfer, fin-
ishing34th with atotalof 336. She and

junior Tegan McCorkel had team-
low scores of 80 in the first round.
After that opening round, Michi-
gan was well within shouting distance
of the top five. Westfall felt that the
Wolverines' undoing was the 18 holes
of golf that followed.
"We really let ourselves down in
the secondround,"shesaid."Itcould've
been fatigue, since that was the day we
had to play 36 holes."
For Michigan coach Kathy
Teichert, who had modest hopes of a
seventh-place finish, the performance
wasn't too disappointing, consider-
ing how difficult the course is.
"(Ohio State's)course is very long
and demanding," she said. "There
were probably six or seven holes that
