When Arizona head coach Bill Wright picked up the team broom and did sweeping motions with it yesterday at the Robson Tennis Center, he summed up the afternoon as the No. 25 Arizona men's tennis team refused to drop a set on its way to a 7-0 win over St. Mary's (Calif.) College.

Playing on the No. 1 singles court for the first time, senior Chris Jenkins remained unbeaten in dual-singles play, upping his record to 11-0 with his 6-4, 6-4 win over Matt Grintsaig.

The quiet, controlled leader on the court, team co-captain Jenkins is described by Wright as "captain by action."

"Every school has at least one or two good players, so you have to be ready to play every day," Jenkins said.

On Friday, the Wildcats (6-3 overall, 0-2 in the Pacific 10 Conference

Southern Division) defeated a solid Washington team 6-1, ending the 9-4 Huskies' seven-game winning streak.

Jack Enfield and Mike MacKay, normally doubles players, got their first singles action of the year against St. Mary's in what was a day of numerous lineup changes.

"It felt great to get the dust off the shoes," Enfield said.

No. 1 Jan Anderson, No. 4 Tom Haugland and No. 3 Henrik Wagner all had the day off. Filling in were Roland Kupka, Vuk Tapuskovic and MacKay at the No. 2, 3 and 4 spots, respectively. Rounding out the team was Enfield at No. 5 and James Rey at No. 6.

"We have six, seven guys that can play extremely well, and that is all you can ask for," Wright said.

"This team has a lot of talent. We have such a deep team," Jenkins said. "We are a scary team. I guarantee that Southern Cal and UCLA don't look forward to playing us because they know that we are a talented team. If we put it all together, they are in trouble."

After the Washington team had left, and all of her players were all on their way home, women's tennis head coach Becky Bell finally took a break and smiled.

The determined, veteran coach had just guided her wounded team to a 7-1 win over a strong Husky team, and the smile was short yet sweet.

"I was very pleased. I think that Washington has a good team, and we were not at 100 percent," Bell said. "Everyone is hurting, and it was a really good effort to win it in singles. Overall we have had a great season so far, but I think that it is really important to keep looking ahead."

Bell was smiling because Vicky Maes (34-5 overall, 12-0 in dual-match play) stayed unbeaten in dual-match play with her 6-3, 6-1 win over Katherine Costain. Also winning were Stephanie Sammaritano, Betsy Miringoff, Karen Goldstein and Brooke Herman.

"Right now I think that we are playing great, but we need to keep our focus," Miringoff said.
