Gals get come-from-behind will
By JON HEIDTKE
Sports Reporter
Three weeks ago, the 1 exas A&M
women’s basketball team routed the
Baylor Bears 81-52 in the Aggie Lady
Classic. When they met again last
night one might have suspected that
the Aggies would take the Bears
lightly. It was these same Baylor
Bears, after all, that had a season
record of 2-16.
The Bears, though, played their
best game of the year and almost
pulled off their biggest win of the
year. Almost.
The Aggies finally woke up, came
from behind, and posted a 71-67 vic
tory last night in Waco.
“It was hard for the girls to get
motivated since we beat them so
easily at A&M, said head coach
Cherri Rapp. T think we came out
expecting not to have to play very
hard, and Baylor came out ready to
play.”
And play they did. The Aggies
were in trouble from the start, falling
behind 14-2 before the game was
four minutes old. After a couple of
substitutions the Aggies were able to
battle back. Cathy Fuller's driving
layup gave the women their first lead
of the night at 18-17.
Neither team held more than a six
point lead the rest of the game.

A surprising fact I learned:
Just about every lifeguard
you've ever seen has had Red
C ross safety training. To date.
Red Cross has issued over
65 million swimming and life
saving certificates.
“ There's just no telling how
many lives saved those hard-
earned water safety certificates
represent.
"Yet important as lifesaving
is, it’s just oAie way Red Cross
serves our town.
“In towns and cities across
the nation, Red Cross performs
scores of different services.
In some places. Red Cross pro
vides home health care for
senior citizens. In many places
they teach preparation for par
enthood. Red Cross helps peo
ple relocate after fires. Teaches
health, safety, first aid. Helps
''eterans. In fact, if it needs to
be done, chances are Red Cross
is doing it right now.
‘And Red Cross could sure
u^e your help \ngetting it done.
Lai l your Red Cross chapter
today-if you're ready to help,
thanks!’’
Baylor took a 37-32 lead to the locker
room at the half.
The Aggies were lucky to be trail
ing by only five, since the Bears hit a
sizzling 58 percent compared to
A&M’s 32 percent the first half.
The second half was nip-and-tuck
all the way. The Aggies managed to
take the lead twice in the first 15
minutes of the final period — at 47-
45 and 49-47 — but the Bears, be
hind the play of Adele Kennedy,
came back and led 63-57 with 8:43 to
go
Down by six, Rapp called a time
out. “We needed to get our compo
sure,’’ said Rapp. “We had to have
time to think about what we do. We
played a real intelligent last eight
minutes,” she said.
In fact, it could almost have been
called perfect. The Aggies played de
fense with intensity, and key, long-
range baskets by Lisa Key and Cathy
Fuller were able to keep A&M in
striking distance when the inside
scoring game disappeared.
The Aggies pulled even at 63-all
when Peggy Pope followed her own
shot with 5:38 to go. Pope, who
scored 22 for the night, finished on a
tear, getting eight ot the Aggies last
10 points.
It was Pope’s turnaround jumper
with 3:18 left that gave the Aggies
the
lead for good. Lori Foreman, who
