Even though the Texas A&M
women’s basketball team found a
way to defeat Abilene Christain
Monday night, 66-47, Coach Lynn
Hickey wasn’t happy with the Lady
Aggies’ means of doing so.
Of course, Hickey u'as happy with
the home-opening victory at G.
Rollie White Coliseum, but she
wasn’t pleased with the Lady Aggies
quality of play.
“I’m really disappointed,” Hickey
said of the 2-0 Lady Ags. “We were a
lot sharper the other night (in
A&M’s season-opening victory over
Stephen F. Austin Friday, 83-59).”
Hickey’s disappointment
stemmed from the Lady Ags’ inabil
ity to convert 27 steals into points
and their ability to throw the ball
away constantly. A&M committed 29
turnovers on the night.
“The thing that hurt us was that
we couldn’t do anything with our
steals,” said Hickey, A&M’s second
year head coach. “We’d either miss a
lay-up or throw (the ball) away — a
lot of hard work, but a lot of wasted
“The thing that hurt us was that we couldn’t do any
thing with our steals. We’d either miss a lay-up or throw
(the ball) away — a lot of hard work, but a lot of wasted
motion would be the best way to sum it up.”
—A&M Coach Lynn Hickey
motion would be the best way to sum
it up.”
A&M senior guard Lisa Langston,
who became the Aggies’ all-time
leading scorer Friday against SFA,
agreed with Hickey.
“(The ACU win) was terrible,”
Langston said. “I think it w'as just a
case of the first home game jitters.
We all wanted to impress the fans
and the community so bad, we just
tried too hard. We were a little out of
control.”
Langston, who scored only four
points in her 22 minutes of playing
time, wasn’t pleased with that per
formance.
“I just couldn’t get on track,” she
said. “It seemed the harder I tried,
the worse it got. But we’re not going
to get down on ourselves.”
The Lady Ags, who had 13 play
ers contribute to the scoring, were
led by 12-point performances by
freshman guard Donna Roper and
junior forward Paula Crutcher.
A&M opened up an 11-2 lead just
over five minutes into the game and
never relinquished its advantage. By
halftime, the Lady Ags led 33-13,
despite being out-rebounded by the
Wildcats, 20-15.
“We’re still having rebounding
troubles,” Hickey said. “Once again,
we really have to get something
going on the inside.”
ACU opened the second half try
ing to press A&M in the backcourt,
but could never draw closer than 16
points. Senior guards Claudia
Schleyer and Deonna Moore led
ACU with 14 points each.
Hickey said the Lady Ags spent
too much time before the game con
centrating on humiliating the the Di
vision II Wildcats.
“We talked too much before the
game about blowing them out,”
Hickey said. “We should have con
centrated more on our own execu
tion. We need to work on slowing it
down a bit.”
A&M will travel to Corvallis, Ore.,
this weekend for the “Big O” Tour
nament, where it will face UCLA
Friday at 11:00 p.m. Hickey said the
Bruins are a young team with a weak
inside game and average ball han
dlers.
“It looks like we have a chance of
matching up a little bit better than
we’d hoped,” she said.
Hickey also said A&M is prepar
ing for a rough December schedule
in which it will tangle with national
powerhouses Oklahoma, Louisiana
State and Louisiana Tech before
opening conference play against
Baylor Jan. 2 at G. Rollie White.
“We’re going to find out real
quick what the big time is all about,”
she said.

Center swap fills Mavs, Clips’ needs
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The way has
been cleared for Benoit Benjamin,
the third player taken in last June’s
NBA college draft, to become the
starting center for the Los Angeles
Clippers.
James Donaldson,
who started at center
in the Clippers’ first
14 games of the sea
son, was traded to the
Dallas Mavericks
Monday in exchange
for center Kurt Nim-
phius.
At 7-foot-2, Donaldson will be
come the tallest player in the brief
history of the Mavericks, who were
formed as an expansion team in
1980. Dallas is 6-7 so far this year.
Nimphius, who stands 6-10, fig
ures to serve in a reserve role for the
Clippers, who have a 6-8 fecord.
“Benoit will start immediately,”
L.A. Coach Don Chaney said.
“We’re going to have to force-feed
him to get him ready. We wanted to
bring him along slowly, but he’ll
have to mature faster than we all had
anticipated.”
Benjamin, a 7-footer from
Creighton who turned 21 last Fri
day, will make his first NBA start at
Seattle Tuesday night. Nimphius
won’t make the trip — he’ll make his
debut with the Clippers Wednesday
flight when they host Houston.
Donaldson, playing in his sixth
NBA season, brought a career aver
age of 9.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and
1.4 blocked shots per game into this
year. He made an NBA-leading 63.7
percent of his field goal attempts last
season.
In 14 games this year^ the 28-year-
old Donaldson has averaged 10.2
points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocked
shots. He has made 51 percent of his
field goal attempts.
“I’ve always heard the Mavericks
were a first-class organization and
I’m happy to be playing for them,”
said Donaldson, who could be in a
Dallas uniform as early as Tuesday
night when the Mavericks host
Washington.
Norm Sonju, general manager of
the Mavericks, said, “The coaches
have been intrigued by Donaldson.
He gives us a dimension we’ve never
had in the past.”
Nimphius, who is playing in his
fifth NBA season, has averaged 7.0
points and 4.6 rebounds in 13 games
for the Mavericks, four of which he
started. Nimphius, 27, averaged 6.2
J ioints and 5.3 rebounds in his first
our professional years.
“In Kurt Nimphius, we get a
strong, competitive player who’s a
great shot blocker and adequate
passer,” General Manager Carl
Scheer of the Clippers said. “We
think with his experience in the
league he will compliment Benoit
Benjamin very well in our offense.
“We are excited about the acquisi
tion of Kurt and look forward to him
making his debut with us Wednes
day night.”

because it’s preprogrammed
