While the clubs had seen action in a heated driving range during the winter it was no substitute for the links. Seeing its first action of the spring season at the South Carolina Women's Invitational, however, the Michigan women's golf team did not fall far from its pre-winter break scores. The field was more than equal to the Wolverine chal- lenge as Michigan finished in a tie for 11th, with a combined score of 983 (319-330-334.) The hosting South Carolina Lady Gamecocks, who lost last year's in- vitational to a last-day round of 299 by Georgia, were again thrown for a loop. Involved in a furious fracas with Kentucky and Duke for the championship, South Carolina closed within six strokes, but came up short. The Wildcats prevailed with a 926, one stroke ahead of the Gamecocks, and only two strokes ahead of the Demon Blue Devils. Although Michigan finished 57 strokes out of first place, they were in fifth place after the first round, led by Kristin Beilstein's Wol- verine low, 77 (85-83). Before the first round ended, some of the golfers were greeted by an electrical rain storm. Little did Michigan know, after the storm it would not have the same energy. The team added eleven strokes to its first-round score and four more to its second-round score. Other than Michigan, only Duke (303-311-314) failed to improve or remain at the same plateau as its first or second-round scores. "I think they got anxious," coach Sue LeClair said. "I was pleased with the first-round scores, but the second and third-round scores were disappointing. We should've had three (golfers: Becky Hayes, Erica Zonder, and Kristin Beilstein) under 80 each round, and we just didn't." Zonder continued in her leading role, driving her team-leading scor- ing average (80.6) further down by shooting a 241 (80-78-83) - good for a 34th-place tie. Zonder holed a 9-iron shot on the fly to score a rare eagle on the par four, sixth hole. Hayes kept pace with Zonder carding a 242 (78-81-83) for a 36th- place tie. Although under her season scoring average (81.6) like Zonder, Hayes shared coach LeClair's disap- pointment. "Being the first tournament, it was hard to chip and putt," Hayes said. "I expected to shoot all three rounds under 80." Citing the tree-studed fairways as an errant drive grabber, LeClair said that putting was actually more of a downfall for the women golfers. "Even when Zonder shot her 78, she had a number of three-putt greens." LeClair said. Darcy Chandler (84-86-88) and Wendy Bigler (89-95-85) also made the trip to South Carolina. "It really was a great tourna- ment. We just didn't perform as well as we could have," LeClair said. "It wasn't fatigue, I think they just weren't competition ready." Michigan will have a chance to re- deem itself this weekend in Bloomington. by Ryan Herrington Daily S ports Writer Prior to this weekend's Big Ten opener against Indiana, Michigan coach Carol Hutchins stressed that her team needed to play consistently if it was to be successful. Unfortunately for Hutchins, the Wolverines were anything but con- sistent, winning two of their four games against the Hoosiers (2-2 in the Big Ten, 16-16 overall). Friday, Michigan (2-2, 13-9) swept both games of its double- header, 2-0 (in extra innings) and 5- 1. In the first game, Indiana's No. 1 pitcher Christy Brown went the all the way, succumbing only to an er- ror and a clutch hit by the Wolverines in the ninth. An Indiana error put Michigan runners on first and third on a play which would have ended the inning. The Wolverines then performed a successful double-steal and fol- lowed with a run-scoring double Pitching was again the Wolverines' greatest asset last weekend against Indiana as Michigan split its four game series. Sophomore Kelly Forbis started two of the four games for the Wolverines. While she allowed only two runs in nine and a third innings, Forbis was a victim of Michigan's inconsistent hitting, earning a no decision and a loss for her effort. :jUal = V, i '111 "THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS IN APPLYING TO LAW SCHOOL AND HOW TO AVOID THEM" A Seminar on the Law School Admission Process and the Successful Student's Approach Featured Topics Include: " How Law Schools Evaluate Applicants " How to Select Law Schools " Strategy and Timetable for Admissions + Free Comparative Guide to Law Schools Presented by EXCEL Test Preparation by Ken Sugiura Daily Sports Writer AUSTIN, Texas - After a mediocre frosh perfor- mance at the Big Ten Championships, some of those same swimmers returned to prove their worth at the NCAA Championships at the University of Texas. Rodney VanTassell, Brice Kopas, Tim Bower and redshirt frosh diver Eric Lesser all performed ad- mirably under the considerable pressure of the meet. "I think we earned a lot of respect," VanTassell said. Both Kopas and Lesser qualified for consolation fi- nals, Kopas in the 400-yard individual medley with a personal-best 3:52.08 for a 12th-place, and Lesser on both the 3-meter and 10-meter platform. Lesser fin- ished 15th on the 3-meter, with 462.75 points and scored 390.15 points for 16th atop the 10-meter. VanTassell, while he did not qualify for any finals, contributed amply to the Wolverines' sixth-place team total of 245.5 points. VanTassell anchored Maize and Blue relays, including the 200-yard and 400-yard med- ley relays and the 800-yard freestyle relays, which fin- ished 15th, 10th, and 9th, respectively. "I was a little bit nervous coming in, my first year, but I'm happy with the way I swam," he said. With a season's worth of experience and training under its belt, the class of '94 looks toward an even' stronger '91-'92 season. "Even though we lose Barrowman - he's a great leader and great inspiration to the team - I think we'll be even stronger next year. He's a big loss, but I think the freshman class proved themselves this year," VanTassell said. THUMBS UP FOR BARROWMAN: Unbeknownst to most, Barrowman swam to his nu- merous honors despite a torn ligament in his thumb, Frosh tankers will keep Blue ahead which he sustained during his first event of the compe- tition, the 200 individual medley. "It hurts like hell. Unbelievable," he said. "But I cannot and will not let that affect me." Barrowman ended the meet with his second 200 breaststroke title, a third-place in the 100 breaststroke, in addition to a curious distinction. By winning the consolation final of the 200 individual medley, Barrowman became the first NCAA swimmer to win the consolation final of the same event four years in a row. BAILEY DOUBLE: The NCAAs provided a fam- ily reunion of sorts for junior Eric Bailey. Bailey's younger brother, Tom, is a first-year swimmer at Princeton University. The frbres Bailey sparkled for their respective schools. Tom swam leadoff for Princeton's 14th-place 800 freestyle relay while Eric swam the leadoff back- stroke leg for Michigan's 200 and 400 medley relays, and won the consolation final in the 200 butterfly with a 1:46.90, which qualified him for the Olympic Trials. TWISTIN' BY THE POOL: The Texas Swim Band entertained the Texas Swimming Center crowd with fan favorites such as "Louie Louie," "La Bamba," and "Under the Sea," as well as providing the national anthem. Incidentally, the band's mind-numbing repetition of "Texas Fight," the Texas fight song, and the "Hook' em Horns" sign (made by extending the pinkie and in- dex fingers), became rather grating to many non-Texas competitors and fans. More than one Wolverine was seen discretely re- sponding to the partisan crowd by adding a third finger to the Longhorn hand gesture as an expression of his distaste. that propelled pitcher Andrea Nelson to her fourth victory of the season. The Michigan bats were alive i the second game, scoring three time in the first two innings, en route to pitcher Julie Clarkson's fourth win. "In the first game, I felt our de- fense played well and held us until the offense could win it in the ninth," Hutchins said. "In the sec- ond game, our offense jumped all over things in the first game." However, during Saturday's twin bill, the Wolverines were un9 able to come through with any clutch hitting. Brown shut down the Wolverines, 2-1, in game one, al- lowing only five hits. In the nightcap, Michigan got ten hits off Brown (9-8), but the team was only able to produce one run. The Wolverines twice stranded Kari Kunnen on third after she tripled. rs "One word sums up (Saturday" - disappointment," Hutchins said. "We had our chances, but couldn't get the key hits like we did Friday. The challenge is to bounce back from this pair of losses." Pac Ten outruns Big Ten by Chris Carr Daily Sports Writer While this past weekend's Big Ten-Pac Ten challenge at Stanford provided the men's track team with its first chance for outdoor compe- tition, the jury is still out on th prognosis for the rest of the out- door season. "We ran pretty well considering most of the schools we were com- peting against had already run in two to three outdoor meets," assis- tant coach Ron Warhurst said. "We haven't had good weather to get in any quality outdoor training, so we are not going to be able to know, anything for a couple of weeks." Although the Pac Ten team (consisting of representatives from Stanford, Oregon, Washington and Washington State) edged the Big Ten team by ten points, Michigan still received some quality perfor- mances. In the running events, senior Neal Newman anchored the winnin 3,200-meter relay team for the Big Ten posting a time of one minute, 48.8 seconds. Junior Jerry Douglas anchored the winning shuttle hurdle relay team for the Big Ten with a time of 14.01 seconds. Senior Jeff Barnett also had a strong start for the outdoor season, placing fourth in the 3,000-meter steeplechase posting a time of 9:01. "The weather conditions were@ excellent for the race," Barnett said. "This is the best outdoor start I have had in three years." In the field events, sophomore Dan Reddan captured second place in the high jump clearing 7'1". Junior Brad Darr took first place in the pole vault clearing 17' 3/4". In the javelin, seniors Warde Manuel and Al Sarafian placed fourth and fifth, respectively, in their first competi- tion of the year. "I did not go as high as I wanted to," Darr said. "Being the first out- door meet, it was hard to get used to the conditions." WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10th 7:30 P.M.
