The Texas A&M women’s basket
ball team rode a strong first half per
formance to a 90-68 victory over the
University of Texas-Arlington in the
opening round of the Texas Associa
tion for Intercollegiate Athletics for
Women state playoffs.
The win sends the Aggies, who
have won 12 of their last 14 games, to
the TAIAW quarterfinals in Nacog

they had to wait patiently for the
UT-A team, which had travel prob

a one-hour delay of the game’s start.

forced 11 first-half UT-A turnovers
and broke out to a 43-26 halftime
lead, and were never seriously
threatened.
The Mavericks outshot the Aggies
from the field (50 percent to 40 per
cent) and had one more field goal,
28-27, than the Ags, but they offset
this by setting two Texas A&M sing

attempted and free throws made.

LAKE PLACID, N Y. — U S.
men’s champion Charlie Tickner
said before the Winter Olympics be
gan that for every gold medal U.S.
figure skaters won, the pressure
would increase on the rest of the
team to bring even more gold.
No one, however, could have pre
dicted the disaster that befell the
U.S.’s first hope, Tai Babilonia and
Randy Gardner. A pulled muscle in
Gardner’s groin forced the world
champions to withdraw, leaving the
way open for Irina Rodnina and Alek
sandr Zaitsev to win their second
Women’s soccer team
wins against SWTSU
Olympic gold in pairs skating Sunday
night.
“It seems to me very sad — we
were ready to struggle for the gold
medal,” said Rodnina. “It is a pity.
Before the gold medal there was
work, doubt and so on. Only our
coach had no doubts.”
Now, instead of taking home three
gold medals, the U.S. can only hope
for two. Today it is up to Tickner to
bolster the sagging hopes of the U.S.
team when men’s competition be
gins with the compulsory figures.
The Texas A&M women’s soccer
won its season opener Saturday,
beating Southwest Texas State Uni
versity in a game played in San
Marcos.
A three-goal hat trick effort by
Becky Carpenter lead the Aggies in
scoring. The Ags are the reigning
Texas collegiate champions.
“We lead 3-0 at the half and I
started putting in my substitutes,”
Coach Alan Heath. “Everybody on
the team got to play in this one. It’s a
very competitive team.”
Stephanie Barrett scored two
in 1975.
Lori Foreman led a balanced scor
ing attack by hitting a game-high 21
points. Trigg Crawford and Peggy
Pope scored 20 and 19 points, while
Lola Baker rounded out the double
figure scoring with 10 points.
Foreman and Crawford each grab
bed 10 rebounds, while Pope was
one back with nine.
When the Ags square off against
the Cougars, it will mark the second
time these two teams have played
this year. The Ags beat the Cougars
75-64 less than a month ago.
