The score was no indication of how close the match
actually was between the 20th-ranked Texas A&M
men’s tennis team and 18th rated Southern
Methodist.
SMU won the Southwest Conference match 7-2
but four of the seven SMU wins went down to the
wire.
“They have a great team,” said a disappointed
Aggie coach David Kent, “and they hit the shots they
had to when they had to.”
He said it is always tough to lose close matches like
those. With a couple of different shots, the score
could easily have been 7-2 in favor of A&M.
The two nationally ranked teams had the crowd
oohing and aahing throughout most of the match.
The fans found it easy to applaud for both teams for
their outstanding play.
Three matches went to three sets and the Ags lost
all three times. Three games went to the tie-breaker
with SMU winning two to theAgs’ one.
The number two singles set the tone of the match
for Texas A&M. Reid Freeman won the first set 6-3
but lost his concentration when Jerome Vanier began
to rally. Vanier won the second set 6-2 and then took
a spirited third set 6-3.
Freeman was not able to hit the same shots in the
third set he had been hitting consistently in the first
set.
Brian Joelson seemed to run out of gas in the
number one singles against nationally seventh-
ranked Drew Gitlin after he took the first set 7-5 and
lost the second 6-3.
He had been playing well, even in the second set,
making a few winning shots but also some uncharac
teristic mistakes. He lost his concentration in the
third set and did not even win a game.
Singles results: Joelson lost to Gitlin 5-7, 6-3, 6-0;
Freeman lost to Vanier 3-6, 6-2, 6-3; Ron Kowal lost
to Erick Van Hoft 6-3, 7-5; Tom Judson lost to Jeff
Turpin 7-6, 6-1; Max King lost to John Fielding 6-3,
6-4 and Leonard Smith beat Rick Anigan 6-3, 6-4 for
the only A&M singles win.
In doubles; Freeman-Joelson lost to Gitlin-Vanier
6-4, 6-3; Judson-Kowal beat Fielding-Turpin 7-6, 6-3
and Smith-King lost to Anigan-Van Hoft 5-7, 6-3, 7-6
in what was the most exciting match of the day.
The match had already been decided in favor of
SMU but both doubles teams went after each other
like the match was riding on it.
Kent was obviously disappointed with the loss and
simply shrugged when asked.
“Let’s take nothing away from SMU,” he said.
“They have a great program and simply beat us.”
He said he was pleasantly surprised with the turn
out for the match. The stands were almost filled. It
was the largest home crowd to see an A&M match
since Kent became head coach.
“The fan support was great,” he said. “I know with
support like that we can beat some folks; as long as
we hit our shots.”
Kent said he hopes the turnout will be similar
when the Ags take on the University of Texas Satur
day at 1:30 p.m. at the Omar Smith Tennis Center.
Texas is ranked 19 nationally in the latest Intercol
legiate Tennis Coaches Association poll.
Kent said the loss of senior Trey Schutz to an
injury has proved to be a bigger blow than he ex
pected to the team. Schutz cracked a bone in his
ankle against Rice on March 14.
“It sure makes it tough to win without him,” said
Kent. “He was a vital cog in the A&M tennis pic
ture.”
The loss lowers the Ags dual record to 16-6 for the
spring season. For the Southwest Conference, the
Ags are 2-2 and 22-13 in matches.
The SWC records matches won and lost to deter
mine the placings for the post-season tournament.
