trade! L was Aggie against Aggie in the
eader jBinal round of the Sun Bowl Invita-
e stille lional Tennis Tournament as mem-
iship,i] pers of the men’s tennis team
tigt°f|j squared off in both the singles and
ifloubles finals Wednesday at the
)tnar Smith Tennis Center.
omisiiB. t * ie s * n Kl es championship,
n-twis: ^ ean Johnson easily beat Dean
the
easier
hat, be
of sen
ioldfine 6-1, 6-1, and the team of
loldfine and Marcel Vos won an ex
iting match over Johnson and
Irent Haygarth 3-6, 7-6, 7-6 to take
he doubles crown.
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.
