sports i\ i i Aggie Ladies’ fall shy again, by Frank L. Christlieb Battalion Staff Much like a road-weary traveler who finds he must stop for R&R lest he collapse from fatigue, the Aggie Ladies couldn’t wait to return to the confines of G. Rollie White Col iseum. After playing four of the pre vious five games on the road — and losing those four to Texas Tech, Baylor, Arkansas and to Texas by a score of 88-51 on Saturday — Coach Cherri Rapp’s squad bounded onto the coliseum floor late Monday afternoon with high hopes of upsetting the Texas Tech Lady Red Raiders. But alas, the visitors had no intentions of being friendly to the hosts, as the talented Raiders escaped with a 63-55 victory over the Aggie Ladies. Texas Tech now has a 13-5 overall re cord and is 2-1 in the Southwest Conference. After falling behind by as many as 17 points early in the game, Texas A&M never crept closer than the eight-point final margin. Rapp, whose squad now has a 9-11 overall record and a 1-4 record in the SWC, says she has a tired bunch of players on her hands at this point. “I think tonight a lot of it had to do with the fact that we were just so tired from the Texas game,” Rapp said. “It really took a lot out of us. Our timing was off on our shooting, and we just couldn’t hit. The players really work hard at it, that’s for sure. One of these* days — I don’t know if it’ll be this year or next year, but we’ll get there.” The Aggie Ladies fought back from the early deficit to trail 39-27 at halft ime, but Texas Tech jumped from a 12-point efforts 63-55 lead to one of 15 points, 50-35, with 11 minutes left. With 9:12 to go, the Red Raiders led 54-38 after a top-of-the-key jumper by Janet Mears. Between the 5:10 mark and the 2:58 mark, Texas Tech bounced from an 11-point lead to a 12-point lead to a 10-point lead and back to a 12-point lead again. The Aggie Ladies still trailed 61-51 with 2:58 left, but neither team scored until 1:16 remained. Kelley Richardson sank a free throw to boost the lead to 62-51, and a layup by Texas A&M’s Felice Lewis made the score 62-53. Michell Tatum finished the scoring with a layup after winning a jump ball. Tatum had 18 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Aggie Ladies and Jenni Edgar had seven points. Kelli Harned finished the game with eight re bounds. Now Better Than Ever. You Will Be Pleased With These Carefully Prepared and Taste Tempting Foods.
