Battalion Staff
Last season’s Texas A&M Uni-
fersity women’s basketball team
set some rather dubious records
(n route to a 7-22 season: most
kies lost in a season (22), most
fonsecutivc losses (7), and most
points allowed in a game (112
jpinstthe University of Southern
California).
"We had a very bad year,
M-year coach Cherri Rapp
aid.
Nevertheless, a solid defense,
an average height that some men’s
teams would envy and a promising
crop of freshmen and junior eol-
|getransfers should aid the 1981-
182 team’s recovery.
Senior point guard Kelley Sulli
van said: “We re going to be a lot
improved. We ll have a lot more
height to help us. ’’
The team roster lists five play
ers taller than 6-foot. Three of
i are 6-3, including Ann
Irinka, a freshman from Lidger-
mid, N.D., who will likely be a
starterin the team’s opener Satur
day night against New Mexico
State University.
With the added height of this
sir's squad, Rapp hopes the
Iggies will dominate their oppo-
iciitson defense and in rebounds.
Were relying a lot on our de-
jSse, Hupp said. “We ve looked
letter on our defense than on
Hjnsc in the scrimmages. And
Ere going to hopefully be able to
lo a good job on the boards with
Hirsize — we re going to depend
in that a lot. '
A big defensive weapon will be
1 theAggies’ 1-3-1 zone, in which
me player defends the basket,
le protect the middle of the
I, and one guards the top of the
icy.
“We have a pretty good-sized
.. 1-34 when our big players are in
lore—they’re pretty awesome,
ipp said.
One of the team ’s problems last
|r, both Rapp and Sullivan
, was a slow start that dam-
toed the players spirits for the
intire season. Consequently, a
(ood start is crucial to the team's
iutcess this season, Rapp said.
don’t know how we re going
:o step out and start the season
rause these early four or five
pines are going to be important,
ft said. Tf we start out winning
lose games like we could, wc
pm nave a real good season.
01 four pre-season scrimmages,
Ihe Aggies have won three, de
feating Sam Houston State Uni
versity, Southwest Texas State
University and St. Mary's Col
lege. The team lost only to
phen F. Austin University.
We’ve gradually improved
each time, Rapp said. “The
scores aren’t too indicative,
lough, because we really don’t
lay it like a game. Really in our
Scrimmages, we could have done
JEFF’S
PERFORMANCE
CENTER
better in some areas, and in some
we probably could have done
worse.”
The biggest challenge for the
Aggies will be replacing the
leadership and talent of lost star
ters Trigg Crawford, Tammy Graf
ton and Cathy Fuller, who collec
tively scored 24 points a game for
Texas A&M last year.
“We re going to be real inex
perienced starting out the year,”
Rapp said. “From last year, we
only have one full-time starter
(Sullivan) returning, so it s going
to be a game with a lot of mis
takes.”
Rapp hopes the leadership void
will be filled by Sullivan, last
year’s high scorer with an 11.7 av
erage per game, and by 5-6 fresh
men Romy Gandy, another point
guard.
“Kelley Sullivan is our onlv
senior, and hopefully she’ll de
velop into our court leader, she
said. “I think we have some other
players, too. Romy Gandy is doing
an excellent job of court leader
ship. Those are probably our two
point guards, and of course you
depend on the point guard to lead
the team.
Sullivan said: “I think some
times they expect a lot, but that
comes with being a senior.”
In addition to Trinka and Sulli
van, 6-1 junior post Cathy Fore
man will probably start, Rapp
said. Prospects for the other two
spots include Gandy, junior for
ward Kelly Krauskopf, a 5-11 re
turning letterman, sophomores
duRae Gill, a 5-9 forward, and
Sheryl Clark, a 5-8 guard and five
newcomers.
Junior college transfers Kelli
Harned, another 6-3 post, and
Lynette Joiner, a 5-9 forward,
bring excellent shooting skills to
the team’s “sputtering” offense,
Rapp said. At 6-3, freshman
Michell Tatum lends even more
height to the post position. For
ward Janet Duckham at 6-foot and
guard Jenni Edgar at 5-8, both
freshmen, add intensity and a lot
of natural ability to the lineup,
Rapp said.
Edgar said: “I know we re re
building a new team this year, but
we’re expecting a lot of good
things.
Saturday’s season opener
against New Mexico State will be
gin at 7 p.m. in G. Rollie White
Coliseum. Other schools on the
Aggies’ schedule include Stephen
F. Austin, the University of Okla
homa, McNeese State University,
and Southwest Conference oppo
nents.
