Aggie Ladies lose first round
game in state playoffs, 66-61
By JON HEIDTKE
Sports Reporter
The Texas A&M women’s basket
ball team made an early departure
from last week’s Texas Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics for Women
(TAIAW) State Tournament when
the third-seeded Aggie Ladies were
knocked off by a fired-up Houston
quintet, 66-61 in overtime.
Fouls and poor shooting in the first
half by the Aggies paved the way for a
Cougar upset. The Ags, who only
had players foul out 12 times during
the season, had four of their starters
foul out in this game. The starting
five racked up 24 fouls and Trigg
Crawford was the only Aggie starter
on the court at the final buzzer.
Lola Baler, Lisa Hughes, Peggy
Pope and Lori Foreman all fouled
out, giving the Cougars 34 free throw
attempts. They hit on 24. This offset
the Aggies’ advantage from the floor,
where the Aggie Ladies hit 27 shots
to the Cougars’ 21.
The Aggies, who had beaten the
Cougars 75-64 earlier in the year,
lead by five at 14-9 with 9:21 left in
the first half to give them their big
gest lead. But the Ags went cold and
the Cougars rallied, outscoring the
Ags 19-10 the rest of the half to take a
28-24 advantage.
The loss dropped the Ags to 18-10
on the year, while the Cougars adv
anced to face Stephen F. Austin in
the tournament semifinals. SFA, the
second-seeded team, won that game
and went on to upset top-seeded and
previously undefeated Texas 86-71
in the finals.
The Ags’ season finale will be
against Wayland Baptist, which
finished third in the tournament, in
G. Rollie White Coliseum Saturday
night at 7:30.
Lakers drub Rockets
United Press International
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Jamaal
Wilkes scored 29 points Sunday and
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, playing only
in the second half, added 15 to lead
the Los Angeles Lakers to a 112-100
victory over the Houston Rockets.
The win was the Lakers’ sixth in a
row and 17th in their last 20 games.
Houston, led by Moses Malone s 29
points and 17 rebounds, dropped its
fourth game in five starts.
Malone scored 15 points in the
first period and Houston built a 22-
14 lead, but the Lakers caught up at
34-34 after holding the Rockets to
only eight points in the first eight
minutes of the second period.
