The final round of the tourna- is_fi nent was rained out Sunday in El and tr ^ aS() an< d moved here because only eveiiir® nem ^ e rs of the A&M team re mained in the hunt for both cham pionships. The final round concluded an im pressive showing for the Aggies, and Coach David Kent praised the play of his players, particularly Johnson. “Dean was on top of his game and he deserved to win,” Kent said. “He’s been coming on really strong this fall.” Johnson easily dispatched Gold- fine, who played sluggishly through out the match. “I know Dean (Goldfine) wasn’t too happy with his play,” Kent said, “but he’ll come back strong for the next tournament.” The doubles final was a fiercely contested match, as both teams seemed frustrated with their play. At one point in the second set, Goldfine plunged over a fence and fell to the ground while chasing a ball. The match was halted for a short time to determine if he could continue, which he did. “It’s hard to play your own team mates,” Kent said. “There’s a lot of pressure on you because you have to live with them for the rest of the year.” Kent said he was overjoyed to have two first-rate doubles teams. “It’s good to be in a predicament to have two good teams like this,” he said. “I couldn’t be more pleased.” The team will be involved in tour nament action again when it travels to Austin to participate in the West- wood Invitational Nov. 14-16. ion sb? i k Kr 1 Hf led abi prop: ;h he litiadve led bt- iversu: ister Li the l speco m k ined Ag volleyball team nails win over Owls fhe Texas A&M volleyball team got back on the winning track Wednesday night with a 6- 15, 15-12, 15-9, 16-14 victory over the Rice Owls at Houston.
