Aggies’ all-time leading scorer will lead A&M
when it faces Rice tonight at 7 p.m. in Houston.
By DOUG HALL
Sports Writer
With two of her starting five play
ers nursing injuries, Texas A&M
Coach Lynn Hickey will be just as
worried about her team’s health to
night as she will be about defeating
the 7-17 Rice Owls.
Freshman center Lisa Jordan,
who led the Lady Aggies Saturday
night against Houston with 16 points
and 11 rebounds, missed Sunday’s
practice due to a foot injury, as did
starting forward Paula Crutcher
who suffered a scratch to the eye
that has left her wearing a patch.
Hickey said the combination of
taking the Owls too lightly and the
injuries have left her a little cautious
about Tuesday’s 7 p.m. game at Au
try Court in Houston.
“We have to be careful,” Hickey
said. “This could be a very difficult
game for us. I know last year we had
to beat them on a last second shot.
We can’t go out there and assume
that we’ll beat them by 30 points like
we did last time (in A&M’s 90-62 win
at G. Rollie White Coliseum).”
Hickey said the Lady Aggies will
use their customary full-court pres
sure defense to force the Lady Owls
out of their set offense and into a
running game.
The second year coach, who has
helped assure the Lady Ags of their
first winning season in six years, said
A&M must use its superior height to
stop the Lady Owls’ Holly Jones,
who is currently second in the
Southwest Conference scoring race
averaging 18.6 points a game.
“We have got to play a tough pres
sure defense and utilize our size,”
Hickey said. “Holly Jones is a big
danger. We really need to do a good
job against her.”
If Saturday’s 71-70 victory over
the University of Houston was any
indication of how A&M defenses the
SWC’s top players, then Hickey
should have little to worry about.
The Lady Ags limited UH’s Sonya
Watkins, the conference’s scoring
leader (19.8 a game), to only seven
first-half points, holding her
scoreless for over nine minutes.
But for Hickey, getting her team
healthy before next week’s SWC
postseason tournament in Dallas is
just as important as beating Rice.
Aggie men
golfers win
Pan Am title
MONTERREY, Mexico — If
last weekend’s Pan American
University International Colle
giate Golf Tournament is any in
dication of the kind of spring the
Texas A&M Men’s golf team is
going to have, then Coach Bob
Ellis has plenty to be happy
about.
The Aggie men, led by fresh
man individual winner Roy
Mackenzie, fought off a last
round drought to take the team
championship with a 54-hole total
of 86/, live strokes ahead of sec
ond-place Brigham Young.
Mackenzie, a redshirt fresh
man from Santiago, Chile, fin
ished Sunday’s round with a 73 to
put him in a three-way tie with
Edward Herrera of BYU and
Rice’s Houston Martin.
“Roy just had a super week
end,” Ellis said. “It is really good
to get in the win column.”
“It was a good field, but it was
the type of teams we should
beat,” he said. “There were 18
other teams in that tourney, and
any one of them could have got
ten hot and beat us.”
Rockets launch comeback

Associated Press
HOUSTON — Houston’s Ralph

The Rockets trailed 105-103 with
42 seconds to play on a basket by Jay
Vincent, who scored 16 of his 31

12 straight Mavericks points.
Robert Reid hit a fall away jumper
to tie it with 25 seconds to go but
missed the free throw after he was
fouled.
Sampson then put Houston ahead
for good with 22 seconds to go on a
free throw after he was fouled by
James Donaldson, leaving game-
winners for Lucas, who hit two free
throws with nine seconds to play and
two more with two seconds to go.
Derek Harper scored 17 points
for the Mavs and Houston’s Jim Pe
tersen had 17.
