‘Mystique’ follows Brown
By KATHLEEN McELROY
Sports Staff
Last weekend was a great time to
pay softball — at least for the Texas
A&M University women’s softball
team. The Aggies destroyed
McNeese State and Northwest
Ebuisiana in two doubleheaders Fri
day and Saturday at College Station’s
Bee Creek Park.
■ In the first game of the McNeese
doubleheader, Texas A&M won 4-1,
even though the Aggies managed
only six hits for the game. McNeese
managed only two hits off Texas
A&M starting pitcher Irene Mach, a
Rshman from Southing, Conn.
■The offensive stars in the game for
th< Ags, ranked fourth in the nation,
were catcher Rhonda Reese and
mini baseman Maria Resendez who
■th went two-for-four. Reese, one
of the Aggies’ leading hitter during
ji will present at se»fcr career, was the Aggies’ offensive
hemistry” at Tp.m.clkr of the weekend, collecting two
ol more hits in three of the four

sixth win against three losses. Mur
ray and McDonald combined their
talents to pitch a one-hitter and
struck out seven McNeese batters.
Both teams were scoreless by the
bottom of the sixth inning when the
Aggies crossed the plate four times.
McNeese pitchers gave up three
singles and walked one batter while
the defense committed four errors.
In the doubleheader against the
Northwest Louisiana Lady De
mons, once more the Aggie pitching
staff was overpowering as Texas
A&M won 5-1 and 11-0.
In the first game, Mach again
pitched a solid game, giving up only
five hits. Her only tough inning was
the second when Northwest
Louisiana got three hits and scored
its only run. The big inning for the
Aggies was the fourth when they got
three hits and scored two runs off an
error.
The big hitters for A&M in that
game were juniors Reese, who got
two hits, and shortstop Nancy Sulli
van, who was three-for-four.
In the second game, starting
pitcher Lori Stoll and reliefer McDo
nald combined to crumble the
Northwest Louisiana bats, as
together they threw a no-hitter. The
Lady Demons never hit a ball into
the outfield, and only got on base
twice on walks. Stoll, a sophomore
from Lee’s Summit, Mo., struck out
10 batters in just four innings, and
McDonald, a sophomore from Cana
da, struck out six batters in three
innings.
And if the pitching wasn’t
enough,the Aggie bats exploded
against the Lady Demons. Collect
ing 14 hits in all, Texas A&M scored
four runs in in the second inning, and
three in the fourth. The leading hit
ters were Carrie Austgen who went
three-for-three with two doubles and
a triple, and again, Reese, who also
went three-for-three.

INDIANAPOLIS — For all the
confusion and wonderment sur
rounding UCLA this season, one
thing is certain as far as Larry Brown
is concerned.
“He’s gonna score — you can’t
stop him,” the UCLA coach said
Sunday of Louisville All-America
Darrell Griffith. “I won’t be sur
prised if everybody on the team gets
a chance to guard him. The kids all
say they want to take him. But they
say that now. ”
The Bruins meet Louisville at
Market Square Arena tonight (8:15
p.m.) to settle this season’s wildly
unpredictable national champion
ship before an estimated viewing au
dience of 50 million.
After Louisville’s 80-72 semifinal
victory over Iowa Saturday, the im
age of Griffith does not fade easily.
He scored 34 points, hitting 14-of-21
shots, to go along with 5 rebounds, 6
assists and 3 steals.
“If his points come easily we’re in
trouble. He reminds me a lot of
David Thompson, who I coached at
Denver in the pros,” said Brown.
“I’m approaching this game with
more determination than the one
against Iowa,” said Griffith, who is
dedicating the tournament to a can
cer-stricken friend in Louisville.
“The Final Four is something you
strive for. It’s the highlight of my
career. ”
But for all of Griffith’s individual
gifts, Monday night’s title game
might just as well be played in a
house of mirrors. These are two simi
lar teams — each built on youth and
quickness with a hard-running game
to compensate for lack of height.
“Both teams are offensively de
signed to provide equal scoring
opportunity,” said Louisville Coach
Denny Crum.
Brown, whose unranked Bruins
advanced to the championship game
with a 67-62 victory Saturday over
Purdue, is prepared for a quick
assault by Louisville.
“They’ll probably press us as soon
as we get out of the dressing room,”
Brown said. “If we get careless and
get caught in a schoolyard game, we
could be in trouble. ”
For Brown, in his first year as
UCLA coach, words such as “mysti
que” and “tradition” follow him like a
zone press. After all. he inherited a
team that had won 10 national titles
in 16 years and 13 consecutive Pac-
10 championships.
“I think UCLA means a great
deal,” Brown said. “I know we are a
better team now because of the atti
tudes of the past coaches and play
ers. It is a positive influence on us.
We can feel it and it makes us play
better. That is what matters to us.”

Kent said he was not sure Schutz
would play until the day before the
match.
“He had been really sick with the
flu all week, ” Kent said of the junior
from Galveston who has usually play
ed in the top seed position for the
Ags this season. “He wasn’t in top
form. He had lost ten pounds last
week. ”
Of the Aggies’ lone victory, Kent
was ecstatic with the play of Joelson,
a freshman from Oregon.
“He’s a super athlete,” Kent said.
“He just won’t accept defeat. It
stares him in the face every week.
He’s amazing. I’m going to have to
play him higher. He’s had a pretty
easy time at No. 5.”
Kent said it’s back to the drawing
board after the disappointing defeat.
“I’m going to change my lineup a
little,” he said. “I’m going to use
more freshmen against East Texas
this week.”
The Ags play ETSU here at 1:30
Tuesday.
