Rollie White * DO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL THIS SUMMER By MARYBETH ROHSNER Sports Writer Texas A&M tennis coach David Kent plans to do a little creative plumbing in the next few weeks. Unless Kent’s netters can put to gether a winning streak for the re mainder of the season, the team’s Southwest Conference title hopes may be down the proverbial drain. Ranked No. 9 going in, the Aggies suffered a disappointing 5-4 loss Fri day to the No. 11 Arkansas Razor- backs. Three of the six singles matches and all three doubles matches went to three sets. The Hogs wrapped up the dual match when their No. 1 doubles combo of Tim Siegel and Richard Schmidt narrowly upset A&M’s Grant Connell and Kimmo Alkio, 7- 6, 6-7, 7-5. “It was a super match,” Kent said. “Both teams played really well and I feel good about the way we played.” Kent felt even better about the way his Aggies bounced back on Sat urday. A&M took out its frustrations on the,Rice Owls, 7-2, bringing the Aggiues’ SWC record to 3-3, 19-9 overall. Unlike previous SWC matches, the Ags won two of three doubles matches against the Owls. “We came back and played pretty good after having that heartbreaker (Friday),” Kent said. But “doubles trouble” struck the team hard against Arkansas. Only the No. 2 tandom of Greg Hill and Marcel Vos won their match, though the Ags gave the Hogs plenty to worry about in the other two matches. Kent has shuffled the No. 2 and No. 3 doubles teams several times this spring. For this weekend’s ac tion, Kent paired freshman Dean Johnson ancl sophomore Dean Gold- fine to fill out the No. 3 doubles spot. “We’re going to stick with this,” Kent said of the Johnson-Goldfine combo. “They played really well to gether (over the weekend).” Though some are predicting a fifth-place SWC finish for the Ags, Kent said the competition is far from over. The Aggies played their toughest opponents early in the sea son, and now those top teams will face the SWC roadblocks the Aggies have already run into.

The No. 10 Aggies were edged by the No. 11 Hogs 5- 4, but rebounded with a 7-2 win over the Rice Owls Saturday. Only one conference spot is cer tain — the No. 2-ranked SMU Mus tangs are galloping with first place. “We’re really in the thick of (the competition),” Kent said. “It’ll be a close race for second, third, fourth and fifth in the conference. Things should fall into place after this week’s play.” Kent said the tough schedule early in the year will ultimately work out the Ags’ advantage. “We’ve been pretty consistent, ” Kent said. “1 see rosey skies ahead.” The skies have certainly been rosey for the Ags’ top singles player, sophomore Grant Connell. Connell, ranked No. 8 nationally, is unde feated in SWC singles play. “That kid is amazing, simply am azing,” Kent said of the native of British Columbia, Canada. “He should be moving up in the rank ings. He’s got an outstanding re cord.” Bring in This Coupon And Save 50% Off frames Choose any style from our entire frame selection including Haiston, Pierre Cardin and Yves St. Laurent.
