Robcrg Tribune Sports Writer OGDEN In the game of women s collegiate tennis, concentration is to Weber State's Melanie Puddefoot what inventiveness was to Edison an innate talent painstakingly perfected. "She wants to win as much as any player I have had on the women's side," said Weber State Coach Keith Cox, who also doubles as the men's varsity coach. "She won't beat herself out there, youve got to beat her." Isenberger battled Melanie e in the and opening set of the tournament, but began to falter in the first set tiebreaker. Melanie was quick to sieze upon the opportunity with the poise and determination belying her frosh status. In the second set, Melanie went up a break at and closed out the match in her typical aggressive style. For Puddefoot, the transition from to Ogdens higher elenear vation, took its toll in the early weeks of her arrival on campus. There was an early fatigue factor to overcome and a change in her playing style. .point-for-poi- Puddefoot, a freshman from Park-vieSouth Africa, used her mentaltoughness on the court to win both her mutches in the Weber State Invitational Saturday. And she needed her concentration to get past a every ounce of it pair of fiesty opponents. She dispatched both Marcia Isenberger of Eastern Washington, and Boise States Kris Pudliner, Melanie started strong and didn't let her opponents off the hook once it was baited with an assortment of lobs and ground strokes, crisp passing shots. 7-- 6 ), 5 7-- 6-- half-volley- game-for-gam- 6-- 5 sea-lev- Cox coaxed her into abandoning her looping swing and to rely more on accuracy than speed in addressing the ball in the lighter air. "She had to cut down her and concentrate more on just putting the ball in play, said Cox. "It was a difficult adjustment for her, but she has responded very well." He described his ace pupil as an player and a strong candidate to capture the upcoming Mountain West Athletic Conference No. 1 singles title in two weeks at Eastern back-swin- mountain open singles champion. One of Puddefoot's biggest victories this season was over Utah's top player, Marcia Foote. g Melanie's doubles partner, Anna Gunnarsson of Tranas, Sweden, had a much easier time in winning her matches at No. 2 singles. The tall blond Swede blanked Eastern Washand came ington's Kris Gavre, back to defeat Cathy Welch of Boise State, 0 d "Anna has outstanding ground strokes," marveled Cox. "She's a leader on the court and is able to rally the team." Anna, like Melanie, had to make some major adjustments in her game at Weber State. After all, she grew up hitting forehands and backhands off the slow clay surfaces in Europe. It took several long working sessions with Cox to get her to adjust to Washington. Puddefoot, who is the junior player in her country, clung to her strong baseline play in several tough rallies against Pudliner before finally winning her 15th dual match of the season with just three losses. One of those losses was administered by Northern Colorados Sandra Elliott. Elliott is the defending Inter d Cristy Cleave was a double winner along with Tracie Hoven.

Last year, Anna was runner up at No. 1 singles in the conference championships. But what really has Cox beaming these days it the play of his No. 3 doubles team of Jill Hayasaka and Tina Purser. Hayasaka, a sophomore from Honolulu, Hawaii, and Purser, a junior from Hesperia, Calif., are unbeaten in 14 dual matches this season. "They work well together," said Cox. Hayasaka lends her aggressiveness at the net to the pair while Purser constantly puts the ball in play and waits for her opponent to make mistakes. Hayasaka won both her No. 6 singles matches over Annette Gundari of Eastern Washington, and Boise State's Kerry Wageman, In other matches, Weber State's 6-- 3 Hu Na to Perform;: In Taiwan Duels ; Hu TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) former Chinese tennis star who. defected to the United States three years ago, arrived here Saturday a series of exhibition matches.
