Women cagers win Mean Green Classic tourney
By JON HEIDTKE
Sports Reporter
Texas A&M’s women’s basketball
Uteam didn’t play its best game of the
year but it did manage to pull off a
75-53 victory over North Texas State
to take the championship of the
Mean Green Classic.
“We had a lot of turnovers and
didn’t work hard to get the re
bounds,” said head coach Cherri
Rapp, who returned for the first time
to the school where she coached for
three years before taking over the
job at Texas A&M.
Mentally, it was hard to play
somebody that you have already
beaten by 32 points,” she said.
The Aggie ladies, who upped
their season record to 17-8, played
the title game without leading scorer
Lori Foreman. Foreman, the 6-2
sophomore transfer from NTSU,
watched the game in street clothes
after injuring an ankle in warmups
before the Texas A&M-Texas
Women’s University game on Friday
night.
“We don’t know how serious it is
yet,” said Rapp. “Hopefully she will
be back for the start of the playoffs
next week. ”
The Ags, who had beaten NTSU
82-50 three weeks ago, got off to a
slow start and needed time to thaw
out from Denton’s sudden snow
storm. Trailing by one, 11-10, the
Ags heated up and peeled off 14 un
answered points in an eight-minute
span. That put them up 24-11 and
they went on to take a 39-22 halftime
advantage.
Senior Peggy Pope, the Classic’s
Most Valuable Player, picked up 12
of her 17 points in the first half to
boost the Ags to a 17 point lead.
Then the Aggies got sloppy. In the
first seven minutes of the second half
the women turned the ball over eight
times and scored only six points. The

lackadaisical play to pull within five
at 45-40. Shelby Kettle led NTSU’s
comeback by hitting for 12 of the
Eagles’ first 18 points of the second
half.
But the Aggies got back on track
with 10 points from Trigg Crawford
down the stretch and were able to
pick up their sixth straight win and
eleventh out of their last 12.
Crawford, filling in for the injured
Foreman, turned in a strong per
formance, hitting 16 points and
yanking down nine rebounds.
Kelly Sullivan and Lola Baker hit
12 and 10 points respectively to
round out the double-figure scoring
for the Ags. Pope also led the team in
rebounds with 12.
The Ags hit almost 50 percent
from the floor for the evening (32 of
65) compared to the Eagles’ 39 per
cent (24 of 61). The Eagles also shot
poorly from the charity stripe, con
necting on only 31 percent of their
shots. They missed several front
ends of one-and-one situations in the
final period.
The Ags reached the finals of the
tournament by knocking off TWU,
79-65, on Friday night. Foreman,
making her return to Denton, provd
her ankle injury had little effect by
pouring in a season-high 39 points.
She hit on 16 of 20 field goals, seven
of nine free throws and grabbed a
game-high 15 rebounds.
Both teams traded buckets
throughout the opening period.
A&M went into the locker room dur
ing intermission with a slim 39-34
lead paced by Foreman’s 19 points.
Ten straight points to start the
second half got the Aggies on the
right track. The Aggies opened up
their biggest lead of the game (26
points) midway through the final
frame at 66-40. The Pioneers battled
back but still wound up 14 points
down at the final buzzer.
Pope was second on the team in
scoring and rebounding with 15
points and eight caroms.
