match because TCU is ranked in the

Texas A&M went 7-6-2 in the fall
and is 4-1-1 for the spring season.
However, all games in the sping be
sides the tournament are unsanc
tioned by the SWC, said Mark Stom-
berg, a team member and press
agent.
The Ags defeated Rice, Texas
A&M at Galveston and Sam Houston
twice. They lost and tied Stephen F.
Austin University to make their
spring seaon.
Stromberg said the team over
came some early-season shakes,
started to play together and has
started to hit its peak.
“WeVe looked real good in the last
two games and in practice,” he said.
“The team had a problem getting
going but we’re rolling now. ”
Winston said the shakes hit early
in the fall against SMU. At the time,
SMU was ranked second in the na
tion. Many of the players were star
tled when about 7,000 people
attended the game.
“They scored three quick goals on
us before we started to settle down,”
Winston said. “After the shakes, we
played them evenly.”
Winston said the Aggies have the
toughest defense in the conference
right now. It is a quick team with a
strong passing attack, he said. “We
have two good fullbacks who can pass
the ball quickly up the field.”
Winston said the team expects to
play SMU for the championship Sun
day. He said it is up to SMU to be
there because the Ags will be
waiting.
Winston said SMU, being the
favorite, has all the pressure on
them. They have two All-Americans,
a lofty national ranking and sent two
players to the pros when the fall sea
son ended, he said.
“It’s all the edge we need,” said
Winston.
SMU gets a $37,000 budget and
scholarships for the soccer team, he
said. Texas A&M gets $13,000 and its
without the benefit of scholarship
athletes.
“I’m not complaining, but it is
kind of rough to play with that kind of
competiton,” Winston said.
Nevertheless, he said the team
will do its best and feels they can
win.
“And even if we don’t win it all,”
he said, “we re gonna give ‘em a hel
luva battle!”
