12 Tuesday, March 29, 1994 SPORTS RSITY DAILY KANSA Kansas tennis ruling the courts KANSAN FILE PHOTO kansas senior Kim Rogers works on her serve. In the latest tennis polls, the women were ranked No. 7, and the men were ranked No. 28. Women's team earns No.7 ranking By Matt Siegel Kansan sportswriter While most students were lounging around during Spring Break, the Kansas women's tennis team was busy proving it was worthy of a No. 7 ranking. The Jayhawks defeated No. 17 Arizona 5-4, No. 10 Arizona State 5-4 and Minnesota 9-0. Kansas improved its record to 15-2. "The girls know that they are a force," Kansas coach Chuck Merzbacher said. "We're not just a bunch of country bumpkins in Kansas anymore. We're good. We've only lost to No. 4 Texas and No. 1 Georgia and have beaten everybody else on our schedule, which is an intense schedule." The schedule doesn't get any easier for Kansas as it begins Big Eight Conference play on Saturday against Colorado. The Jayhawks are the defending Big Eight champions and already have defeated national powers such as No. 8 Duke, No. 11 Notre Dame and No. 18 Mississippi. But Merzbacher said that the Jayhawks would face a stiff challenge in the conference from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Kansas State. However, Merzbacher also said that because the Jayhawks were playing so well, they would be tough to beat in the conference — or anywhere else. "There are some Big Eight schools with a lot of depth, but they don't have the talent that we have," he said. "We've been playing such a tough schedule. It will be nice to gain some confidence. We're making a run at the national title." In past years, no other Kansas team could make that claim. This is the first time in Kansas history that the team is ranked in the top 10, and Merzbacher said that the Jayhawks were on the verge of cracking the top five. Leading that charge has been junior Nora Koves, who plays in the No. 1 singles spot and has won 11 consecutive matches. She has a 16-1 dual match record with her only loss coming to the nation's top player, Texas junior Lucy Ludvigkova. Koves is ranked No. 10 in the nation in singles and No. 2 in doubles with teammate junior Rebecca Jensen. "I think we are capable of getting into the semis of the NCAA tournament," Koves said. "The last two years we have lost in the first round. This is the last chance for the seniors." Merbzacher said he was confident that his team would be one of those competing at the NCAA Tournament during May in Athens, Georgia. "A lot of things will have to go our way," Merzbacher said. "But the way we feel about it is, how many times will we have this type of talent to be a force in the tournament?" The motivation to do well could stem from the fact that the Jayhawks have a chance to finish with the alltime best record at Kansas. "The way I feel is when we got back from Arizona we definitely earned our top ten ranking," Merzbacher said. "We beat a lot of national powers. We go down to Arizona, and it is tough to win there. It's windy, hot, the courts are slow, and we beat them. To me that solidifies us. It doesn't matter where we play, we're legit." Men's team ready to play in Big Eight By Matt Siegel Kansan sportswriter When Kansas defeated Drake 7-0 on March 6, the Jayhawks looked as if everything was coming together for them. The victory helped stake Kansas' claim as the top team in the Midwest region. Then, inexplicably, the Jayhawks fell five spots in the polls to the No. 28 spot. "They did the next ranking on a computer," Kansas coach Michael Center said. "The 23 ranking is based on a coaches' vote. The computer ranking had us tied at 28), but I think the computer events it out as the season goes on. We will see where we are in the next poll." The team returned this weekend from a California trip during Spring Break. The Jayhawks went 2-2, pushing their record to 14-5. "It was fun going home," said sophomore Reid Slattery, who is from San Marino, Calif. "I was a little bit disappointed in our results. I thought we could have done better as a team and myself individually." The Jayhawks are preparing for the Big Eight Conference season, which starts tomorrow at Missouri. Center said that the Jayhawks would be among the top four teams in the conference. "We have played the most competitive schedule, so we should be the most prepared team," he said. "I think we have the best team, but we have to go out there and prove it." Kansas will have to prove it without one of its top players, sophonore J.P. Vissemo, Vissemo, Kansas' No. 2 singles player, is batting mononucleosis. Center said that Vissemo would begin light hitting at yesterday's practice but that he didn't know when Visseno would return to competition. "I don't make any excuses for guys being out," Center said. "That's just part of the game." Center said he was counting on the other Jayhawks to pick up their play for the final month of the season, especially Slattery. "I told Reid that he has established himself as one of the top players in the region," Center said. "He has struggled a little bit later, but he is playing against the best players in the country. Now, I think he should feel like he can go out and demonstrate that he is the best player around here."
