Thursday. Texas, ranked num
ber five in the nation, is the
number one seed and the tour
ney favorite.
Assistant coach Cindy Gough
said the Aggie Ladies didn’t take
advantage of a subpar outing by
Wayland Baptist in Thursday’s
game.
“It wasn’t a very good game,”
Gough said. “Wayland didn’t
play well and neither did we. We
didn’t capitalize on our tough
man-to-man defense.”
Freshman posts Ann Trinka
and Michell Tatum led the
Aggie Ladies with 15 and 14
points.
“We didn’t get much out of
and
PRESENT
anybody else,” Gough said.
Tatum had seven rebounds
and Trinka had six to lead Texas
A&M in that department.
Wayland Baptist outre-
bounded the Aggie Ladies 44-
41, as Gay Hemphill had 14 re
bounds. Hemphill also finished
with 28 points to lead all scorers.
While the Aggie Ladies shot
only 31 percent from the field,
Wayland Baptist shot 45 per
cent.
Texas A&M trailed only by
one, 30-29, at halftime, but
Gough said the team had its
problems on the offensive end
of the court.
“Our offense was not working
at all, and we werent’ getting the
ball inside or shooting well,”
Gough said. “With 3‘A minutes
to go in the game, we were
within five points of them. All of
a sudden, they started coming
back with some good pressure
defense and we couldn’t handle
it.
“We just lost it all.”
Senior Kelley Sullivan, the
Aggies Ladies’ leading scorer all
season, had only four points in
the game.
Gough said that play of the
squad’s freshmen has been a
positive factor in the Aggie
Ladies’ 9-20 season.
