Page 12A THE BATTALION MONDAY. JANUARY 10. 1981 Baylor takes early SWC lea Races stay tight as ‘second quarter begins Mono Ladies win by 5 over Lamar By RITCHIE PRIDDY Battalion Staff Senior forward Trigg Crawford pumped in 14 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to lead the Texas A&M University women’s basketball team over Lamar Saturday night 69-64 in G. Rollie White Coliseum. Forward Cathy Fuller and guard Kelly Sullivan each chipped in 12 points in the win with five and two rebounds respectively. The coaches, however, were not entirely pleased with the effort. “We weren’t pleased with the way we played and we knew we should have won the game by more than we did and the girls know that too, ” said assistant coach Cindy Gough. Indeed, the women had 80 shots on goal and connected on only 30 for 37.5 percent for the night. Lamar fared a little better with 23-of-60 for 38.3 percent. From the free throw line the Aggies were 9-of-15 for 60 percent while Lamar hit on 18-of-24 for 75 percent. The difference was turnovers. “They scored 16 points the first half on free throws and that’s what kept them in the game, ” said Gough. “We told them at halftime that we needed to cut down on fouls and still play aggressive and force some tur novers and that’s what we did.” The Aggies led at the half 38-34. “She (Crawford) had some prob lems the first half of the season,” Gough said of the 5-11 senior. “But she’s come back real well since the Christmas break and that is good. She’s a senior and a captain and is setting a good example for the youn ger players.” Gough said that the season could only get better for the young Aggies after last week’s games. The women return to action Satur day night against a tough University of Houston team in Houston. United Press International There comes a certain point that fairly good teams can suddenly be come more than good. It involves passing through a confi dence barrier. The Baylor Bears football team did it last autumn and the Baylor basketball team may have done it last Saturday. The Bears are a surprising 4-0 in Southwest Conference action and re main on top of the league chase. And they did it by upsetting the Arkansas Razorbacks in Waco, 67-58. “The key to the game was the con fidence shown by our team in every given situation,” said Baylor coach Jim Haller. “We were hurting in that regard early in the year, but this team now has as much confidence in themselves and each other as any squad I’ve coached.” Baylor last won its first four league games in 1969 and the Bears will go after No. 5 Monday night at home against Texas Tech. Tech fell two games off the chase last Saturday, falling to Rice in over time, 52-50. A jump shot from the corner at the buzzer of that overtime period by Ricky Pierce brought the Owls the victory over Tech. TCU, meanwhile, pulled off yet another surprise by decking Texas, 66-64, and Texas A&M ended its five-game losing streak with a 71-51 win over SMU. It was the last game this year as an Aggie for 6-11 center Rudy Woods, who became scholas tically ineligible at the end of the semester. Woods, who was benched to start the conference season, finished with seven points in his finale. The Bears celebrated their victory over Arkansas with the realization that they had done something spe cial, but also with the realization that the regular season is only a fourth over. . , , “We have to go out and do the same thing the rest of the year, said defending SWC scoring champ Ter ry Teagle, who paced the Baylor effort with 24 points. “It’s super to be where we are right now. I think we wanted it a little bit more than Arkansas did.’ In addition to the Baylor-Texas Tech meeting Monday night, Arkan sas will face a critical road test against the Houston Cougars. Houston (3-1 in conference play) lost its most cent league game, a week i SMU. On Tuesday Rice will visitl ( A&M and SMU will travel toH The key games next Saturday have Arkansas entertaining l t A&M and Baylor visiting Tens l ( Trigg Crawford The win, the second in a week, lifted the Aggie Ladies to a 4-13 sea son mark. They defeated Tulane Wednesday night 81-79 in New Orleans and lost to Southeastern Louisiana 67-57 Thursday night in Hammond, La. In the win over Tulane Crawford, of College Station, tipped in a missed shot by guard Kelley Sullivan with less than six seconds left. “The difference was that the girls kept their composure,” Gough said of the Tulane win. “It is the first time we’ve won a real close one. We saw some good things in that game.” Crawford led the way in last week’s surge with 45 points and 28 rebounds in the three games.
