No. 18 A&M trips Trinity
with strong singles play
Aggies rebound from early SWC loss, tag Tigers 6-3
By KEN SURY
Assistant Sports Editor
The No. 18 Texas A&.M men’s
tennis team bounced back from a
disappointing Southwest Confer-
ence loss to Baylor last Thursday to
stop No. 21 Trinity, (i-3, Saturday at
the Omar Smith Tennis Center.
The Aggies won four of their six
singles matches as Kimmo Alkio,
Mark Smith, Marcel Vos and Chris
iStanich all won in straight sets.
I Alkio, A&M’s No. 1 singles player,
jdefeated Trinity’s Fanie Reinach 6-
[1,6-4 to inmprove his spring singles
[ record to 12-0.
“It’s amazing at this point of the
Men’s Tennis
season to have someone undefea
ted,” A&M Men’s Tennis Coach Da
vid Kent said of Alkio. “That shows
the credit you have to give to his
play.”
Alkio is currently ranked the No.
27 singles player in the country.
Smith, ranked 71st in singles,
helped set the tone for the clay’s
wins, Kent said, with his 6-2, 7-6 vic
tory over Trinity’s Dexter McBride.
But McBride received some satis
faction in the No. 1 doubles match as
he and Reinach handed Smith and

A&M’s Kimmo Alkio, who remains undefeated in spring singles
play at 12-0, blasts a serve over the net Saturday against Trinity.
teammate Russ Simmons a 4-6, 6-2,
7- 6 loss in the most exciting match of
the day.
Smith and Simmons twice battled
back from match-point games to
head into a tiebreaker. The two tan
dems fought back and forth until
Reinach and McBride won the last
game and the match on points, 10-8.
Alkio and Vos beat Trinity’s
Frank Grannis and Chris Greer 6-2,
6-2 in the No. 2 doubles match,
while A&M’s Dean Johnson and
Dean Goldfine, who r»oth had lost
their singles matches, defeated
Grayson Underwood and Chad
Marsh 6-3, 6-4.
The A&M men will compete in
the 18th Annual H.E.B. College
Tennis Team Championships in
Corpus Christi Wednesday through
Saturday.
Women’s Tennis
The 23rd-ranked A&M women’s
tennis team, meanwhile, looked
unstoppable this weekend as they
blasted both Southwest Texas State
and Baylor with 9-0 victories.
At the Omar Smith Tennis Center
Friday, the only match to go three
sets was the No. 1 singles as Vanne
Akagi beat SWTSU’s Maria Le-
dezma 4-6, 6-4, 6-1. Akagi also
posted a three-set win over BU’s Jen
nifer Forti Saturday at the Royal
Oaks Racquet Club in Bryan to up
her spring singles record to 9-2.
A&M’s No. 3 singles player, Gaye
Lynne Gensler, helped pace the
team’s strong performance Saturday
with a 6-0, 6-0 win over BU’s Shelly
Fowler.
“Gaye Lynne really played great,”
A&M Women’s Tennis Coach Bobby
Kleinecke said. “Any time you win 6-
0 in college, that’s fine playing.”
Gensler’s singles record moves to
8- 2 in spring action.
Akagi and Gensler, A&M’s 16th-
ranked doubles team, evened its
SWC mark at 1-1, with a 6-2, 6-3 vic
tory over BU’s Jean Carder and Jen
nifer Forti.
More importantly for the A&M
women, the 9-0 win keeps them in
the early SWC title race, since Baylor
took two matches from No. 4 Texas
Wednesday.
The SWC champion is deter
mined by which team earns the most
points in match and tournament
play. Each match win is worth one
point toward that goal.
Kleinecke said the win over Bay
lor and the 7-2 victory over Houston
Tuesday has the team on its way.
“It seems like we’re peaking at the
right time,” Kleinecke said.
Thursday through Saturday the
women will play matches in Florida.
The Aggie women battle Rollins
Thursday, No. 24 South Florida F'ri-
day and Mississippi Saturday.
