It doesn’t take long to find a few
words to describe Texas A&M
softball player Cindy Cooper — en
ergetic, outgoing, entertaining, an
imated and enthusiastic are the first
that come to mind.
Off the field, Cooper has done
such things as tell pop singer Dionne
Warwick she —

songs in the shower. Another time.
Cooper was able to finagle her way
out of a speeding ticket by telling the
police officer a good story about how

out every game.
“Anything that happens, even if
it’s not my play, I get excited,” Coo
per said. “I am just totally fired up to
play. When I walk on the field. I’m a
different person. I am so into beat
ing someone. If I get a strike, that’s a
defeat. If I get out, that’s a defeat.
“My adrenaline is going 100 mph.
I have no trouble firing-up to play.
It’s kind of like being out there on a
stage. You get totally ‘psyched.’ ”
But lately. Cooper has been more
“psyched” than usual.
In a double-header sweep of No.
5 Louisiana Tech Sunday, Cooper
said she was as fired up as she’s ever
been, "I don’t think I’ve ever
jumped around as much.”
“I’ve gotten progressively more
aggressive, vocal and excited as tire

if I had to stand over there at third

Even if Cooper were quiet on the
field, her hatting skills and quid
arm would speak loudly.
“She makes plays that nooneelse
in the country could ever make,
A&M Coach Boh Brock said.
In ’84 and ’85, making the impos
sible plays were what earned "Super
Cooper” second-team All-America
honors at third.
“I can’t say I haven’t thought
about (being named an All-Ameri
can again),” she said. “1 set my per
sonal goal to he the best third base
man in the nation this year —nor
the second best. But after some
thought, 1 decided all 1 can do isms
best. What matters most is for us
win. If we do that and I don’tgetAl-
American, I don’t care. That is just
so minute to my ultimate goal.”
Going into Thursday’s 11 a.
game in the Utah Tournament in
Logan, Cooper leads the Aggies in
hitting at .317 and has made only
five errors for a .937 fielding aver
age.
But her job this season has en
tailed more than just getting on

Aggies end SWC tourney in disappointing 4th
By Doug Hall

After finishing the Southwest
Conference women’s golf tourna
ment Wednesday in a disappointing
fourth place, Texas A&M ended its
season with an unusual role reversal.

This was never more evident than
in this week’s tourney held at the
Sweetwater Country Club in Hous
ton, where the Aggies finished day
one in fourth place and failed to
move up.
ball teams struggled in conference,
the women golfers, led by a strong
senior class, outdistanced the pack to
“We started fourth and finished
fourth,” said Aggie Coach Kitty Hol
ley. “It was an unusual tournament
in that (upperclassmen) Angela (At
kins) and Fiona (Connor) just didn’t
play well.
“What’s nice to see is that our
freshmen and sophomores did play
well.”
SMU, a team that earlier this sea
son Holley said had a good chance of
defeating the defending SWC-cham-
pion Aggies, finished the three-day
tourney in first with a score of 898.
Texas finished second at 914 and
TCU came in third at 927.
In the individual competition,
sophomore Hollie Frizzell led A&M
to its fourth-place finish at 946 by
shooting a final round 76, earning a
seventh-place individual award.
After last season’s success, was
Holley disappointed with the ’86
team?
“Yes and no,” Holley said. “We’re
disappointed, but we weren't playing
the same team as last year.
“We lost our No. 1 and 2 players
to graduation. Basically we are a
young team.”
Henley said she was especially dis
appointed with the play of Atkins,
the team’s captain and only senior,
who finished her final collegiate
tournament with a 239, despite a fi
nal round 74.
“Angela just felt too much pres
sure,” Holley said. “Sweetwater is al
most her home club — she only lives
a couple miles away.”
Atkins was equally displeasedwli
her performance.
"The tournament was not verj
good,” she said. "It (pressure) was
mostly put on me by myself.
“Everyone expected me to
good, and 1 just let it get tome.”
Two things all good Aggies should know "
