University and Louisiana State
University during the last three
weeks.
But the Aggies face their tough
est competition of the short season
when the team travels Sunday to
play the Baylor Bears at 1:30 p.m.
After defeating LSU 14-0 last
Saturday, the Aggies will try to
protect their ranking as the num
ber 12 team in the nation. The
only other ranked team in Texas is
the University of Texas, a varsity
team which holds down the num
ber 18 spot. Texas A&M coach Jim
Butts said that since Baylor two
weeks ago tied UT, this weekend’s
match with the Bears should be a
test for his team.
In the LSU match Texas A&M
totaled an amazing 45 shots on
goal, while LSU could manage
only one shot during the match.
Leading scorers for the Aggies
were Carol Gittinger, with three
goals, and Carol Smith and Sandra
McMasters with two apiece.
Also scoring in the one-sided
match were Lynn Vester, Sue
Niles, Melanie Felger, Laura
Estes, Stephanie Barrett, Daphne
Love and Lauren Forry.
The team played well, Butts
said, even though the competition
wasn’t as strong as what he and the
players had hoped for.
Butts added that the team’s re
cent elevation to varsity status has
given the athletes more incentive,
and that the move has “really
made a difierence” for the team.
The next two weeks feature im
portant matches for the Aggies,
with the team scheduled to play in
an Austin tournament Oct. 24.
The Aggies will face both UT and
the University of Colorado, rank
ed eighth in the nation. After that
match, the Aggies will play Trinity
University Oct. 30 in San Antonio,
and in another Austin tourney
Nov. 7.

Softball team top see
in state championship
By FRANK L. CHRISTLIEB
Battalion Stall
Bob Brock knows that all good
things must come to an end, but
he has mixed emotions about the
close of his softball team’s fall
season.
In his first year as coach of the
Texas A&M University women’s
softball team. Brock has molded
freshman talent and upperclass
man leadership into a 32-2 record.
And today, the Aggies travel to
Conroe to seek their fifth tourna
ment win of the 1981 fall schedule
when th6y compete with five
other AIAW Division I teams in
the Texas State Championship.
However, Brock doesn’t want
the short fall season to end only six
weeks after it began. Although the
team will begin its spring season
during March, there has been too
much hustle, timely hitting and
baserunning, perfect pitching and
above-average defense for the fall
to end now.
But the former Baylor Universi
ty women’s softball coach also
knows his squad can only improve
between now and the March 6
start ofthe spring season. Not only
will the same 15-player roster re
turn for the two-month spring
schedule, but another valuable
athlete returns after being ineligi
ble for the fall.
Mel Pritchard, a senior who has
played leftfield the past four sea
sons for the Aggies, will regain eli
gibility for the spring, giving the
team a left-handed power hitter.
Brock said Pritchard has been a
great help to the Aggies this sea
son, keeping the scorebook at all
the team’s games, as well as pro
viding encouragement for her
teammates.
The team will begin off-season
workouts during the first week of
November, and Brock said he
plans to take his players through a
strong weight training and run
ning program to get them in shape
for the spring season.
The past weekend, Texas A&M
