The nationally second-ranked

Louisiana, 13-2.
Meanwhile, the top-ranked team

In a match where the “steaks”
were high, the Texas A&M Universi
ty’s women’s soccer team knocked off
Stephen F. Austin, 4-1, April 26.
The win gave the Aggies the state
title.
“Their (SFA) coach offered them
steaks if they could beat us,” said
Texas A&M coach Allan Heath. “I
guess they had cube steaks instead. ”
The matches between the two
clubs have customarily been close.
Earlier this spring, the two teams
tied, resulting in last weekend’s
play-off for the undisputed Texas
Women’s League title.
The Aggie women ended their
spring season with a 5-0-1 record,
and a 21-2-3 record for the spring and
fall.
Texas A&M outscored their oppo-
nents 33-11 in 10 games, and
finished first in the Austin’s
Women’s League Tournament and
fifth in the Colorado College Tourna
ment earlier this semester.
Heath noted six of the team mem
bers are freshmen, so the team
should remain strong next season.
In the SFA game, the Aggies led
3-1 at the half on goals by Donna
Ellerbe, Carol Sullivan and Shantel
Fougeron. Becky Carpenter added
an insurance goal to wrap it up for the
Aggies.
Heath steps down as coach next
year because he is graduating in
December, and will be replaced by
Rob Borgeson.
Texas A&M University was rank
ed second in this week’s National
Coach’s Poll for Division 1 TAIAW
softball teams.
Both Texas A&M and TWU had
received byes in the first round. The
Aggies take on the winner of the
LSU-Oklahoma University game in
the semi-finals today at 5:30 p.m.
In first round action, Sam Houston
State knocked off Stephen F. Austin,
5-0; LSU beat McNeese State, 2-1;
and Northeast Louisiana, 13-2.
Aggie ace Shan McDonald, 17-5,
pitched a three-hitter over the Indi
ans, striking out six and walking two.
She lost her shutout in the seventh
inning when a single, three Aggie
errors and a fielder’s choice allowed
two unearned runs.
The victory was Texas A&M’s 20th
in a row, and raised their season re
cord to 37-7. The team’s overall sea
son record, spring and fall, is 64-14.
The highlight of the game for the
Aggies was their first triple play of
the year. It came in the seventh in
ning, with runners on first and third.
The batter hit a grounder to third,
and the third basemen threw to the
second basemen, who threw to first,
who threw to home plate catching
the runner who was on second trying
to score.
The Aggie hitting attack was led by
Carrie Austgen, who was four-for-
five with three runs batted in, and
Rhonda Reese, who was three-for
four with three RBI’s.
