KU loses singles wins in doubles

The Kansas men's tennis team returned home a little disappointed from the Rolex Indoor Intercollegiate Tennis Coaches Association Tournament in Wichita late Sunday night.
The team was disappointed because the winning streak it had held for two years was partially over. Mike Wolf, who for two years had captured the singles title, was defeated by Oklahoma's Olivier Larin, 6-3, 6-3.
A rivalship has developed between the two players. Wolf's record against Lorin is 5-2. His other loss came in the Big Eight Conference championships last spring.
"Lorn had the last two victories," head Coach Scott Perelman said yesterday "There were a couple critical points where mentally Mike let his guard down. He made errors he normally wouldn't make.
"I think he is still the best player in the region. He handled the loss pretty mutely, probably better than he did with Jonah when I womben again, I guarantee it."
The TCIA is an open tournament where no team score is kept, only individual records. In the open tournament, a team may compete against each other.
Wolf could meet Lorin on the court again this weekend at the Volvo All-America Tournament at UCLA, because both players received invitations to play. They could also confront each other at the National ITCA tournament in Bichondron, Va., in February.

Pascal won the doubles' title for Kansas' lone victory.
"Actually, I think we had the two best doubles teams there with Craig Wildey and Chris Walker and Wolf and Pascal." Perelman said "Wolf and Pascal proved insouthern to be the best team in the rost."
The Kansas pair defeated Wichita State's Kris Braatan and Stephen Salthouse 6-4, 6-3 for the national tournament.
The win did not surprise Pascal, especially because the pair had been seeded No. 1.
"Those were my expectations," Pascal said of the victory. "But, I knew we had to be prepared to play well. I think our success lies in the fact that individually we are really good doubles players. We work as a team on the court."
"Wolf is one of the best players in the region, period." Perelman said. "Pascal is one of the best doubles players. He has a great arm strength, especially when it comes to positioning. He knows where to be."
As a team, the Jayhawks won 25 of the 31 matches played, which Perelman said proved that Kansas was the dominant team.
Once again, Kansas teammates met each other on opposite sides of the court. Wilde defeated Pascal 6-2, 6-0 to advance to the semifinals. There, he was stopped by Wolf 6-5, 6-3.
Sven Groeneveld was the only other Kansas player to advance as far as the quarterfinals. He was beated by Jeremy Grubi of Wichita State 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.
KANSAS CITY. Mo — Colorado head coach Bill McCartney is making no effort to be blase about his team's 20-10 victory over Nebraska on Saturday.
"It's the most satisfying victory I've ever been associated with as a player, coach or head coach," McCartney said yesterday at the weekly Big Eight coaches news conference.
Kansas State head coach Stan Parrish said, "I think our whole league ought to tip their hats to their performance. It was a great win."

Parrish noted that two years ago Colorado was 1-10, the same as Kansas.
"I think it's great for all of us in the position we're in." Parrish said. "Colorado a couple of seasons back was in the very lowest depths they
had ever sunk to. To bring the program back and spring an upset like that... when a group can rise up against all odds and perform like that, it's something special. Not just for Colorado, but for all college football."
Coming on the heels of an 0-4 start, the victory gave the Buffs a 3-0 Big Eight record. If they win at Oklahoma State this week and beat Kansas at home the following week, they will be undefeated in the Big Eight when they act as host to Oklahoma in the next-to-last regular season game of the year.
"When you take everything into consideration, how many big-play athletes Nebraska has, the size and strength of their up-front people, it's the greatest defensive performance I ever was associated with," McCartney said.
He said he spent Saturday night at home savoring the victory.

A lot of fans may have been shocked at Colorado's victory, but not many head coaches were. Oklahoma assistant head coach Merv Johnson said the Bufs' non-conference opponents included Arizona and Ohio State.
"I stayed home and just focused on what has taken place since I've been here," McCartney said. "It certainly will go down in the history of Colorado football as a real cherished moment."
"We've had good respect for Colorado for what they did last year," Johnson said. "If they had had the non-conference schedule that some of the Big Eight teams have had, they might be an undefeated football team right now."
"It's sure be a good thing for the goalpost salesmen around the country," Nebraska head coach Tom Osborne said. "I guess it's been a cause for celebration when they beat Nebraska. We've had a lot of good years and a lot of success'
