UNIVERSITY Lady Ags don’t plan to get free Pony ride V A&M puts win streak on line against SMU By TOM TAGLIABUE Sports Writer The Texas A&M Lady Aggies will take a two-game winning streak into G. Rollie White Coliseum Saturday at 5:15 p.m. against SMU, a team A&M blew out by 25 points in Dallas a month ago. But A&M Coach Lynn Hickey said the SMU team A&M defeated last month is a much different one now because of the return of its lead ing scorer and rebounder, junior center Sheila Bryan. Bryan, who missed three of the Lady Mustangs’ games after Christmas for personal reasons, is averaging 11.4 points and 7.1 re bounds a game coming off the bench. “They have a lot better depth in the lineup at the inside spot (cen ter),” Hickey said. “That will be a definite problem for us to contend with.” The Aggies will counter with 6- foot-3 freshman Lisa Jordan, A&M’s leading rebounder in Southwest Conference games; Nette Garrett, a 6-3 freshman; and Paula Crutcher, a 5-11 junior forward who has led the team in rebounding in eight games this season. “SMU will be a lot tougher than Sam Houston State was (Tuesday night),” Hickey said. “So there won’t be as much of a tendency for them (the Lady Ags) to stand around and reach in. “They’re going to have to be in there fighting it out.” Hickey is counting on Lisa Lan gston to return to her old form as she did against SHSU. Hickey said Langston had been in a shooting slump, but burst out of it with 26 points and nine rebounds against the Lady Kats. “(Langston) had two or three games where she wasn’t quite shoot ing too well, but (Tuesday) she was in her old form,” Hickey said. “She shot a high percentage, but the most important thing is she also re bounded, had seven assists, and I think she only had two turnovers. And to me that is much more impor tant.” The combination of Crutcher and Langston is proving to be a potent offensive combination for A&M and Hickey hopes that continues. “I think Paula Crutcher is just playing extremely consistent and that’s what we’ve been looking for all year,” Hickey said. Crutcher said the Lady Ags need to play solid defense Saturday in or der to keep their winning streak al ive. “We have to have defensive inten sity,” Crutcher said. “That’s what makes things happen. If our defense is lacking, then the offense won’t come around. “(Defensive intensity) brings about steals, which brings about points.” A&M’s Lisa Jordan, who leads the Aggies in SWC rebounding,^ a jump shot over a Baylor defender! A&M hosts SMU Saturday. If A&M is looking for an advan tage against SMU, it could come from the home crowd, Hickey said. Fan support could add as much as 10 points to the Aggies’- score, she said. Support is one thing the Lady Ags’ have not had this season. A crowd of only 250 people showed up for their last home game.
