Six-game streak broken
Aggie Ladies turn in worst shooting performance of season against USQ
By JON HEIDTKE
Sports Reporter
The Texas A&M women’s basket
ball team turned in its worst shooting
performance of the season Tuesday
night and the result was a 71-42 vic
tory for the USC Trojans, snapping
the Aggie Ladies’ win streak at six.
The Aggie Ladies could connect
on only 19 out of 59 shots from the
field for an lackluster 32.2 percent.
SMU wins in
overtime
over Rice
United Press International
DALLAS — A three-point play by
Dave Piehler with nine seconds left
in overtime broke a 79-79 tie
Wednesday night and sparked
Southern Methodist to an 82-81 vic
tory over the Rice Owls.
The win all but wrapped up a
home-court advantage in the first
round of the SWC’s postseason tour
nament for the Mustangs.
Piehler scored 21 points overall
and hit five of them in the overtime
period to boost SMU to a 6-8 record
in the league and to 14-10 overall.
Rice had come back from a 10-
point deficit midway through the fin
al half to tie the score with 20 seconds
remaining in regulation on the final
basket of the night by forward Ricky
Pierce, who finished with 30 points.
That left the score tied at the end
of 40 minutes, 74-74, and SMU
scored the first four points in the
overtime. But the Owls fought back
to tie the score and set up Piehler’s
clutch three point play.
Brad Branson added 18 points for
the Mustangs and Richard Harris
contributed 14.
Rice fell to 3-10 in league action
and to 5-16 for the season with the
setback.
The SMU victory, combined with
Baylor’s loss to Texas Wednesday
night, left the Mistangs in sixth place
by themselves. The sixth spot in the
final standings carries with it a home
court edge in the tournament’s open
ing round.
SWC signing
begins today
United Press International
Bowl games are important and the
opening game of the season always
brings nervous tummies, but for
Southwest Conference coaches, to
day will be the biggest day of the
year.
It’s signing date — the first day on
which members of the SWC may
sign high school players to scholar
ship agreements. And, for a change,
the recruiting season has been fairly
tame.
There have been the usual num
ber of tough fights for certain play
ers, of course, but the lack of an ob
vious Heisman Trophy-type super-
star has made this year’s recruiting
war less spectacular than usual.
Last year there was the recruiting
coup by SMU in landing both Eric
Dickerson and Craig James — the
two most sought-after running backs
in Texas.
And in recent years there have
been such remembered episodes as
the wooing of Darrell Shepherd by
the Houston Cougars — who wound
up on probation because of it — and
the recruitment of Billy Sims by
Oklahoma just when the Baylor
Bears felt they had him.
This year, so far at least, things
have been a little quieter.
There seems to be a little some
thing, or somebody, for every team
in the SWC. But Texas and Texas
A&M have their share of commit
ments going into signing day.
The Aggies are expected to sign
such highly touted players as quar
terback John Elkins of Baytown Lee
and linemen Scott Polk of Dallas
White, Tommy Robison of Gregory-
Portland and Jeff Sciba of Pasadena
Dobie.
Running backs Michael Brown of
Richardson Lake Highlands, Mike
Luck of Spring Branch and Bobby
Micho of Austin Anderson have said
they would sign with Texas, as has
lineman Doug Dawson of Houston
Memorial.
SMU, plagued with injuries last
season, has managed to overcome its
lackluster year by conducting appa
rent successful recruiting campaigns
with quarterback Lance Mcllhenny
of Highland Park and David Randle
of Dallas White, considered to be the
best tight end in the state.
Baylor has a commitment from
Alfred Anderson of Waco Richfield,
one of the better quarterbacks in
Texas this season, and another top
quarterback — Phillip Money of
Edinburg — has pledged to Rice.
“I would rather shoot bad in this
game,” said head coach Cherri Rapp,
“than in Saturday’s playoff game
(against the University of Texas at
Arlington).’’
But it wasn’t bad shooting that got
the Ags in an early hole. With the
score tied at four, the Trojans went to
a full-court press. Five minutes and
eight Aggie turnovers later, the Tro-
gans had run up 15 straight points
and were seriously threatened only
once the rest of the way.
The Trojans opened up their big
gest first period lead with six minutes
left when they went up 30-12 on a
Linda Balabuch lay-up after a steal.
But the Aggies, behind the out
side play of Lola Baker and the in
side play of Peggy Pope, outscored
the Trojans 13-4 the last six minutes
to close the gap to nine at intermis
sion, 34-25.
The Aggies appeared to have the
momentum built up to make a run at
the Trojans, but nine straight points
by the Trojans to open the second
half sealed the Aggie loss.
The Ags could only manage 17
points in the second period, due
largely to a 22 percent field goal per
centage (7 out of 31).
“Southern Cal played good de
fense,” Rapp said. “They made us
rush our shots and forced us to spend
too much time getting the ball down
the court. If we could pass the bas
ketball, we’d have a much better
team.”
The Trojans who were beaten 85-
74 by Texas on Monday, only put up
52 shots, but hit 28 of them for 53.8
percent. “USC intimidated us and
forced us to play their game, ” Rapp
said.
There were some bright spots for
the Aggies however. Trigg Craw
ford, making her second straight
start, scored 10 points and grabbed
seven rebounds.
“Trigg has improved more in the
past four games than anybody on the
team, ’ Rapp said. Lola Baker also
turned in a strong performance. She
pulled down seven rebounds, to
share high honors with C
and also scored nine poi ,|
those coming on long-rar®;
Pope led all Aggie SCOren
points.
The Trojans were paced i
Maria Lopez, who scored
high 17 points. Terri H u f
points and Kathy Ranimj
in 10 points to roundouttl
figure scoring for USC.
