“a Texas A&M Tradition
match from Rice, which beat Baylor
7-2 Thursday.
“We need to play well and im
prove our (2-4) look in the South
west Conference,” Kent said. “We’ve
had some good wins (this year), but
we’ve just been inconsistent.”
For A&M seniors Kimmo Alkio
and Russ Simmons, this weekend’s
matches also mark their final home
appearances.
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. T he Aggies
proved their point with a 6-0 victory
over the Bulldogs i it the
championship game of the Bayou
Classic in Houma, La.
plaving better since the lastusj
jtlaved them though.”
Andava, 15-4, and freshmanj|
Carpenter, 14-4, have comm
over-power and surprise ojJ
hitters.
“Shawn takes it to thenitj
pitch,” Brock said. “Thenjm
on the mound with hercW
and they’re still looking forSh]
fastball.”
But since that time, the Aggies
haven’t heard from the Bulldogs
much.
“They’re a mystery team,” Brock
said. “I can’t find out anything about
them. Bill must really have them
After having to carry the j
of t he team for many games,
and Carpenter are finally?j
some help from their hitters.
“We’re showing signs offj

“It’s been an unusual p\
