Al- kio’s record is now 10-0 in spring singles play. By KEN SURY Assistant Sports Editor The Texas A&M tennis teams stayed undefeated at home this weekend, but the Aggie women were trounced in San Antonio by the na tion’s third-ranked team. A&M Women’s Tennis Coach Bobby Kleinecke said the Aggies were outclassed Saturday, 9-0, by No. 3 Trinity, which has five of its six singles players ranked among the country’s Top 50. “It’s difficult to judge where we stand after those matches,” Klei necke said. “We played a little flat, but then Trinity has a really good team. They beat (No. 5) Texas 7-2.” Kleinecke said his biggest concern now is the team’s opening confer ence matches at Houston Tuesday. “I think (the loss to Trinity) will make them a little hungry,” he said. “The matches against Houston will probably go 5-4 — one way or the other. “They’re just barely ahead of us in the rankings (UH is No. 22, while A&M is No. 25). We’ll just have to see who plays better Tuesday.” At home Friday, the Aggie women had little problems in stop ping Louisiana Tech, winning 9-0. The only match to go to three sets was the No. 2 doubles contest which Kim Labuschagne and Karen Mar shall won 5-7, 6-0, 6-2 over Tech’s Jill Urban and Pam Arledge. In the other half of Friday’s dual meet, the No. 15 A&M men de feated Tech 5-2 before darkness forced the cancellation of the No. 1 and 3 doubles matches. In the No. 2 doubles match, fresh man Brent Haygarth and senior Kimmo Alkio beat Tech’s Mike Whittington and Franz Kaiser 6-3, 6- 1. The only singles defeats for the Aggies Friday were Haygarth’s 6-3, 0-6, 6-3 loss to Trevor Salton, and sophomore Chris Stanich’s loss to Alan Trivett 6-2, 6-4. But Haygarth and Stanich came through against Arkansas-Little Rock Saturday, helping the Aggies post at 5-4 victory. Haygarth defeated Robert Mc- Cluskey 7-5, 7-5 in the No. 5 singles match, while Stanich handed Magu- nus Mobius a 6-4, 6-1 setback. On Saturday’s win, A&M Men’s Tennis Coach David Kent said, “We played good, scrappy tennis. . . We won a lot of the close matches, which you have to do when you play the tough teams.” Alkio, despite tendinitis in his right shoulder, stretched his un beaten spring singles mark to 10-0 with a 6-1, 6-1 win over Anders Mansson. A&M’s No. 1 singles player dropped only three games the entire day as he and doubles partner Hay garth beat Mobius and McCluskey 6- 0, 6-1 in the No. 2 doubles match. Alkio and junior Marcel Vos usually are the Aggies’ No. 2 tan dem, but pulled muscles have side lined Vos the past two weeks. Kent said he hopes Vos is healthy for Thursday’s Southwest Confer ence opener in Waco against Baylor. N.C.
