20 field goals and nine of 10 free
throws to spearhead the Aggies’ 77-
66 win over Stephen F. Austin in G.
Rollie White Coliseum.
A&M outshot SFA 42.3 percent to
41.8 percent from the field and took
19 more free throws than the Lady-
jacks. However, the Aggies were out-
rebounded 49-35 and were gener
ally banged, battered and bruised
under the basket.
“I was not pleased,” A&M Coach
Lynn Hickey said. “I was pleased
with the win, but I wasn’t pleased
with how we played. We lacked in
tensity.”
“We are 4-1 on the season,
though, and we’re taking them one
game at a time. Every win is impor
tant.”
However, while the win was not
particularly impressive, it was quite
expensive. Junior center Michell Ta

season.
Even with Tatum’s six-foot, three-
inch body doing battle in the middle
of the lane, the Ladyjacks pumped
the ball inside from the outset of the
game, mostly to freshman Antoi
nette Norris.
Norris, a six-foot center with ap
proximately the same width as a
Redskins’ offensive lineman, had 15
first half points to go with 10 re
bounds. At the half, the SFA team as
a whole had as many offensive re
bounds as the Aggies had total re
bounds.
A&M regrouped around the eight
early points of senior forward Jenni
Edgar and took took a 39-35 half
time lead, despite a seeming lack of
intensity and a futile zone defense.
“She (Coach Hickey) really let us
have it at halftime,” senior Mary
Ann Swearngin said. “We knew we
had to be more intense in the second
half.”
The Aggies opened the half in a
man-to-man defense, full court-
pxessed at every opportunity, and
seemed determined to out-quick the
inexperienced Ladyjacks.

lay-ups and long-range jumpers. She
scored nine consecutive A&M |K>ints
and sent the Aggies off to the races
by expanding a 53-47 lead to 63-47
with five minutes remaining.
With the premature departure of
the rotund Norris due to fouls, the
last obstacle to an A&M victory was
gone. A 10-foot juniper by Langston
with three seconds left on the shot
clock and a following rim-rattling
lay-up by Holly Hodges were the (i
nal nails in the SFA coffin. Three
minutes of garbage-time later, the
Aggies were victorious; they were
also asking questions about the fu
ture.
