Rollie White Coliseum. The Lady Aggies were led by Tamara Jackson, who came off the bench to score 12 points, Lisa Lan gston, who also contributed 12, and Nette Garrett, Paula Crutcher and Beth Young, who each added 10 points. A&M Coach Lynn Hickey said she was pleased with the Lady Ags’ per formance because she feared her players might be tired after a long road trip to Oregon. The Lady Ags played in the three-day Big “O” Tournament this past weekend and finished second. “It’s nice to be 4-1,” Hickey said. “We were a little sluggish after the long weekend. Last night (Monday), was the first night of good sleep they (the Ags) had had in 48 hours.” The Lady Ags opened an 11-6 lead with only S'A minutes left in the first half, but saw the Lady Titans tie the score at 13-13 in the next two minutes. However, by halftime A&M led 33-25 because of the play of Jackson and Lisa Jordan, wno chipped in seven first naif points. Jordan, a freshman from Tal- mage, Ca., who is playing an average nine minutes a game thus far, went on to score nine points and grab five rebounds. “It feels good to be playing again,” Jordan said. Jordan played her best collegiate game in Saturday’s loss to Oregon State, in the Big “O” tourney, scor ing 14 points and collecting 13 re bounds. Hickey said she was pleased with the A&M offense, since the Lady Ags had only 18 turnovers, nine less than they committed a week ago against Abilene Christian. “We didn’t make a lot of really bad mistakes,” Hickey said. “Also, we put a lot of people in the game. It’s tough to play teams like this (af ter coming off an emotional upset victory over UCLA in the Big “O” tourney). I’m very proud of that win.” Oral Roberts’ sophomore guard LeQuita Smith, who led the Lady Ti tans with 19 points on the night, helped ORU draw within four points in the second half, at 53-49, with 7:12 left to play. However, A&M responded with buckets from Young and Garrett and strong free throw shooting down the stretch and opened up a nine-point lead with less than five minutes left in the game. That was enough to send the Lady Ags to Norman, Okla. with a 4-1 re cord. Friday, the Lady Ags will play their toughest game of the season when they battle the highly-re garded Oklahoma Sooners. OU up set No. 4 ranked Western Kentucky last week. “We have two days to get ready for OU,” Hickey said. “We’ve got quite a challenge on our hands. It’s going to be nice to come home on (Dec.) 21st (when the Ags host Creighton after road games against Texas A&M forward Paula Crutcher (33) gets two easy points against Oral Roberts Tuesday Photo by ANTHONY S.
