Page 14 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 1979 the sports Longhorns visit Saturday Aggies ace NTSU 9-0 By KURT ABRAHAM Battalion Reporter Ignoring a shortage of courts, the din of construction equipment roar ing in the background and a case of the blahs, the Texas A&M tennis team shot down North Texas State 9-0 Tuesday, while upping its sea son record to 10-5. The conditions for concentrating on tennis were not the best while the Aggies were in the process of beating North Texas for the second time this year. First there was the lack of playable courts. With four courts being resurfaced, only three matches could be played at the same time. The result found players sit ting around waiting for a place to play. But Texas A&M Coach David Kent wasn’t worried about shortage of space or construction noise from Kyle Field bothering his team’s concentration. “Frankly, we were not mentally up for this match, and I was afraid our guys would go out there and beat themselves by not thinking out their shots,” said Kent. “But I’m glad we were still able to get the job done, especially in the fashion that we did.” What the Aggies did was to win all six singles matches in straight sets. The win by Reid Freeman at No. 2 seed was especially impress ive as he beat Danny Campbell, 6-1, 6-0. It was Freeman’s largest margin of victory this season, bettering his previous 6-2, 6-0 win against Southwestern Louisiana. Freeman then teamed up with Alberto Jimenez in doubles action to MANOR EAST MIDNIGHT EXPRESS THE WARRIORS HALLOWEEN SKYWAY TWIN Beyond the Door II plus House of Psychotic Women Rituals plus In The Devil’s Garden CAMPUS HEAVEN CAN WAIT beat David Cody and John Bracho, 6-1, 6-7, 6-2. While winning their fourth doubles match in a row, the Aggie pair provided Kent with his biggest scare of the day. After winning the first set rather easily, the Aggie duo suddenly found themselves falling behind, losing a close second set and trailing 1-0 in the third. That brought out Kent for a mid-match conference. “Basically Coach told us to slow down a little and think through our shots,” said Jimenez. “I think we had gotten a little overconfident after the first set and then when we started to lose the second one, we tried to catch up in a hurry and it wasn’t working. Coach Kent man aged to settle us down.” Other doubles action found Texas A&M’s Trey Schutz and Mike Moss winning the No. 2 seeded match, 6-2, 6-2, while third seeded Jim Grubert and Robin Baker won, 6-4, 6-4. “I feel like we re showing gradual improvement with every match,” said Kent in analyzing his team’s performance. “Hopefully^ build up enough moment carry us through the rest oft son.” On the other hand, Noil Coach Rick Sorrells must Ik dering what it takes for his win a match against Texas A “I really thought our guys well, despite the score,” rells. “But the score in man individual games went to „ and our folks were just not get over the top.
