14 Wednesday, January 13, 1988/University Daily Kansan Women's tennis coach working to improve players' pride in team By Tom Stinson Kansan sports writer Instilling pride in the team's work is the most important aspect of the early season, said the University of Kansas' new women's tennis coach Eric Hayes. Hayes, whose first practice with the women was Jan. 1, came to Kansas from Clemson University, where he worked with their program for a year and a half. "These first two weeks are the most important part," said Hayes. "We're setting the tone for the rest of the season. I plan on breaking them up early and mentally and then rebuilding them to create their own identity." Hayes said breaking them down consists of a series of "morning madness" training programs in addition to their regular workout schedule. The morning practices consist mostly of running. "They have to take pride in all of this hard work," said Hayes, the sixth women's tennis coach in KU history. "I want this work to cause pain when the girl's lose a match. Irr really impressed right now, but it's a long process." The women, whom Hayes thinks are talented enough to win the Big Eight Conference Championship, compete against Southern Illinois University-Edwardville on Jan. 29 in Topeka. Scott Perelman, men's tennis coach, said, "Hiring Eric is a huge stride in the right direction for the women's program. We needed to get him in here in order to win (Big Eight) championships on both sides." Perelman, whose team's first matches are against Ball State and Minnesota the weekend of Jan. 22 and 23 in Lawrence, said the men did have some bright individual moments during the tournament. Both the men's and women's squads kicked off the year with disappointing performances in the Milwaukee Tennis Classic, held January 6-10. "I was pleased with the play of Jim Secrest," said Perelman. "To win the consolation round is a nice feather in his cap. Chris Walker also showed a great deal of improvement over the break." Secrest defeated teammate Craig Wildey in the finals of the consolation matches 4-6, 3-6, 3-3. The competitors in the consolation matches were the losers in the first round of the tournament. Walker advanced the furthest for the rest of the Jayhawks, before losing in the fourth round. In doubles competition, the teams of Walker/Willey and Falbo/Pascal each lost in the third round, and the team mass/Secrest lost in the second round. "It was a disappointing tournament as a team," said Perelman. "We need to concentrate on consistently playing well. We're going to strive for that in the next two weeks." For the Jayhawk women, senior Tracy Treps made it to the round of 16 and senior Marie Hibbard made it to the semifinals of the consolation round. Also competing for KU were freshmen Stacy Stotts and Michele Balsom and junior Susie Berglund. Sports Briefs MANNING TOP PLAYERDanny Manning was named Big Eight Conference player of the week for averaging 21 points and 8.7 rebounds in three Jayhawk victories last week. The 6-foot-10 All-America forward scored 17 points in Kansas' 67-57 victory at Washington and had 18 points and 14 rebounds in a 90-69 victory over American University. Manning is the Big Eight's second-leading all-time scorer with 2,334 points. He won the weekly award in a split vote over Oklahoma's Dave Sieger, who tied his own conference record by scoring eight 3-pointers in the Sooners' 108-80 victory over Oklahoma State. Manning scored 28 points in Saturday's 78-74 triumph over Missouri in the conference opener for both teams, extending Kansas' home-court winning streak to 54 games. The game was the 117th consecutive exit by Manning, a conference record. STORY IDEA? CALL 864-4810 COLONY WOODS APARTMENTS 1301 W 24th 842-5111 Featuring: - one bedroom apt. ($345) * two bedroom apt.
