Alkio, A&M’s No. 1 singles player, is ranked 28th in the country and last Friday upset SMU’s John Ross, the nation’s No. 3 player. “Alkio is simply one of the best players A&M has ever had,” Kent said. Simmons is the Aggies’ team cap tain and he and freshman Brent Haygarth are A&M’s No. 1 doubles team. “Those are two great seniors,” Kent said. “They’re like family to me.” The A&M women’s tennis team travels to play Texas Christian today and Texas Tech Saturday in hopes of heading into next weekend’s SWC tournament in first place. Texas currently leads the confer- ece with 50 match-win points and a 6-2 record. Southern Methodist is 7- 1. but in second place because it has only 48 points. TCU ended SMU’s bid to finish in first by winning 7-2 Tuesday. Both SMU and UT have com pleted round robin play, while No. 17 A&M, 5-1 with 39 points, needs to win 12 of its 18 matches this week end to claim first place. The SWC tourney will be held April 25-27 at the H.E.B. Tennis Center in Corpus Christi.

No. 4 Ags to host unlikely rivals in No. 5 Bulldog By Charean Williams Assistant Sports Editor Traditionally, Texas A&M’s rival in anything is the University of Texas. But in softball, the Longhorns don’t have a team. So, instead of UT, Bob Brock’s Aggies use the Softball Louisiana Tech Bulldogs as their measuring stick of success. “We are pretty good rivals,” Brock said. “I think it’s because of the situa tion. They have a pitcher from Okla homa (Stacey Johnson) who played with some of our players. And then of course, Bill (Galloway) was a for mer coach at A&M. “We’re a little more competitive with them than with some of the other teams we play.” And this year, the bad blood runs a little deeper than in past seasons. Last season, it was the Bulldogs who prevented the Aggies from their seventh-straight appearance in the College World Series. The 2-1 series loss to Louisiana Tech in regional play lef t A&M with a bad taste in its mouth. And since the Aggies, 29-8, are ranked No. 4 and the Bulldogs No. 5 in the latest national poll, this Sun day’s double-header, which gets un derway at 2 p.m. on the A&M Field, might be more of a grudge match than ever. “I hate to call it revenge,” Brock said. “Let’s put it this way — we will be a lot more ready for Louisiana Tech than we are for some of the other teams. Losing those games (last season) made us understand that.” But although Brock wouldn’t call it revenge, the Aggie players are out spoken on the subject. “There will always be revenge the re,” A&M’s Judy Trussell said. “They’re a big rival, especially be cause of what happened last year. It’s the same circumstances as last season except that this won’t he re- gionals.” The teams already have played met once this season.
