Aggies set to return
to conference action
By Ken Sury
Assistant Sports Editor
After a few so-so non-conference
showings the past two weeks, the
Texas A&M men’s tennis team finds
itself back in the thick of the South
west Conference schedule this week
end.
No. 24 A&M hosts Texas Tech to
day at 1:30 p.m. at the Omar Smith
TCU currently is 1-0 with a vic
tory over Houston.
Kent said the Aggies need to play
consistent tennis in their SWC
matches.
“We’ve been up and down too
much,” Kent said.“To win in the
conference, you have to have six
guys playing well all the time.
“But I think we can win both
matches this weekend. I’m excited
about it.”
Men’s Tennis
Tennis Center. But the big matches
here will be Saturday when No. 10
Texas Christian faces A&M, again at
1:30 p.m.
“We’re determined this weekend
to get off the ground,” A&M Men’s
Tennis Coach David Kent said.
“We’re currently 24th (in the na
tional H.I.T.S. List). They only rank
25 teams, so if we don’t get busy it’s,
‘Adios, A&M.’”
The Aggies are off to an 0-2 SWC
start after dropping dual matches to
Baylor and Texas. The Red Raiders
likewise are 0-2 with losses to SMU
and Arkansas.
I he No. 23 A&M women’s tennis
team was rained out at the Omar
Smith Tennis Center Thursday in its
matches with Southwestern Loui
siana.
Only A&M’s Kim Labuschagne
finished her match, a 6-3, 6-0 win
over Mandy Webber in the No. 2 sin
gles spot. In four of the five other
singles matches, the Aggies won the
first set before rain canceled the
matches.
Because the other matches
weren’t completed, Labuschagne’s
win does not count.
The Aggies are in action at 9:30
a.m. Saturday against New Mexico at
Bryan’s Royal Oaks Racquet Club.
Ags 10th in Houston tourney
HOUSTON (AP) — Texas A&M
stands in 10th place out of 24 teams
after Thursday’s first round of the
32nd All-American Intercollegiate
Invitational golf tournament.
A 2-under-par 70 by freshman
Craig Perks gave Oklahoma a one-
shot lead over
top-ranked Ok- Men’s Golf
lahoma State
and third-ranked Houston.
UH junior Tray Tyner tied Perks
for the individual lead. Both were a
stroke ahead of Oklahoma State se
nior Scott Verplank, winner of last
year’s PGA Western Open.
Arkansas was fourth in team
rankings at 295 and Texas Christian
fifth at 296. Next were Arizona at
300, Lamar at 301, Sam Houston
State at 303, Texas at 305, A&M at
306, and Rice and Missouri at 307.
Thursday’s 20 mph-plus winds
made play challenging on the Bear
Creek Golf World layout.
Tyner did well on the first nine
holes and held on at the end of his
round despite the onset of darkness,
which brought on eye strain, he said.
Tyner birdied the sixth and ninth
holes, and only an llth-hole bogey
prevented him from claiming the
lead outright.
Perks, a New Zealand native, said
the wind didn’t bother him.
“I seem to be able to cope better in
the wind,” Perks said.
A&M trio’s hitting hexes Baylor
By Charean Williams

Texas A&M’s Mary Schwind,
Judy T r u s s e 11 an d C a r r i e
Heightly combined to deliver just
what Coach Bob Brock had or
dered — hits.
The three punched out nine of
the Aggies’ 18 hits in a 3-0, 3-0
sweep of Baylor Thursday night
at the A&M '
Field. Softball
Having given
up only two earned runs all sea
son, the No. 3 Aggies went into
the game against the Bears
looking for hits, runs and two
wins. And three was a charm.
“I was really pleased with the
way we hit the ball,” Brock said.
“Our big gun, Liz (Mi/era), didn’t
hit the ball well tonight, but they
picked her up. If we keep hitting
the ball like this, we ll be in good
shape.”
In the first game, both
Heightly and Schwind went 3-
for-3 in the Aggies’ 1 1-hit bar
rage off Baylor pitcher Misty Da
vis, 3-11.
Schwind got things started in
the second with a single and was
sent home by right fielder Debbie
Rollman’s single to left.
In the fourth inning, it was
Heightly’s turn.
T he Aggie catcher tripled into
right-center field and put A&M
up 2-0 when shortstop Donna Pi-
lant overthrew third baseman
Jenny Campbell.
A&M’s final run came in the
sixth after left f ielder Cindy Fos
ter singled, stole second and
moved to third on a fielder’s
choice. Heightly then punched a
RBI single up the middle for the
final 3-0 margin.
And as if anyone didn’t notice,
pitcher Shawn Andaya tossed her
third no-hitter of the year.
“Shawn has been awfully
tough.” Brock said. “She hasn’t
given up an earned run this year
even though she has four losses.”

A&M’s Judy Trussed eyes Baylor first baseman
Stephanie Zohar (9) in a rundown during Thurs
day’s first game. The Ags banged out 11 hits
while only giving up one in a sweep of the Bears.
As hard as it was for Andaya,
12-4, to hold onto the rain-soaked
ball, the junior All-American
made sure the Baylor hitters had
an even harder time.
Andaya ended the game with
1 1 strikeouts and gave up two
walks.
“I was worried about the rain,”
Andaya said. “The ball was so
slick, I was having kind of a hard
time.”
In the second game, Schwind
again got the Aggie engine run
ning smoothly, this time with a
double. A Foster sacrifice fly gave
A&M a 1-0 lead.
Another Schwind double to
left-center field scored Mizera in
the fourth for a 2-0 score.
The Aggies’ final run came in
the sixth when A&M third base-
man Cindy Cooper slapped a sin
gle to left and scored on a
Heightly sacrifice fly.
“We really needed the hits,”
said Trussell who went 3-for-3 in
the second game. “Our pitching
has been there. We just haven’t
been getting the hitting.”
A&M pitcher Julie Carpenter,
who no-hit Baylor eadier in the
season, used her renowned
change up to leave the Bear hit
ters literally falling on their faces
in the second game.
The freshman, 10-3, pitcheda
one-hitler and struck out seven.
But the big story was the senior
Schwind who broke out of her
hitting slump.
“M ary has been one of our big
sticks over the years,” Brock said
“But this year, she’s had a hard
time hitting the ball. We worked
really hard with her this weekand
she responded.”
