I think we re a little tired mentally.” Mental fatigue aside, the Aggies put together a respectable 5-2 re cord in the Illinois tournament, defeating Louisiana State Univer sity in the consolation round for third place. Maureen Dunn and Cheryl Johnson helped clinch Texas I A&M’s five wins, Condon said, as Wendy Wilson had another out standing tournament. The Aggies jumped to a con tending position early in the tour nament with three consecutive wins, beating the University of Missouri, 2-1, Iowa State Univer sity, 2-0, and DePaul University, 2-0. Host Illinois handed the Aggies a 2-0 loss in the fourth round of preliminary match play, but Texas A&M rebounded to defeat Illinois State University by a 2-0 margin. After dropping a hard-fought three-game match to the Univer sity of Pittsburgh in the semi finals, the Aggies had to settle for third with the 2-1 victory over LSU. “The tournament ended on a good note,” Condon said.” We played better against LSU.” Condon will give the team a couple of days off this week to rest up for the Texas A&M Tourna ment Friday and Saturday in G. ; Rollie White Coliseum. “The girls are excited,” she said. “I think they’ll be fired-up for this weekend.” SCHMALTZ’S SPECIAL Monday and Thursday After 5 p.m. A SCHMALTZ ICE TEA CHIPS Reg. 52 SPECIAL! 068 Culpepper Plaza 693-8276 ($cfyttUtlt?C&S 8a ^ sandwich shop - ■ -S Safir- OPEN: Mon.-Frl. .m.-9 p.m. Sun. 12-9 p.m. FRENCH’S HAPPY DAY — child care center — Bring your child and visit our professional staff in our new Ultra Modem Facility!!
