nab softball

The No.2-rank.ed Texas A&M

Louisiana Invitational Tourna
ment in Lafayette, La.
The Aggies defeated the Uni
versity of Texas at Arlington 2-0
in the first game Saturday. Soph
omore pitcher Julie Carpenter
threw a two-hit shutout for A&M,
and Torrey Parks got the game
winning RBI in the fourth inning
by knocking home Shawn An-
daya, who doubled.
In the championship game, the
Aggies trounced the host team

siana 4-0. Andaya was the win
ning pitcher, giving a three-hit,

A&M defeats UNLV, Wichita State
in weekend men’s tennis action
By Hal L. Hammons
Sports Writer
The Texas A&M men’s tennis
team had to wait 2‘A hours and play
an abbreviated version of a match,
but it still was able to defeat Nevada-
Las Vegas 3-2 Friday afternoon at
the Omar Smith Tennis Center.
Because of the rain delay, the
teams agreed to play only four sin
gles matches and one doubles match.
Aggie Coach David Kent had little
but good to things to say about his
team’s effort. He was especially
pleased with the efforts of No. 3
player Marcel Vos, who Kent said
played an almost-perfect game.
Kent said No. 1 player Dean Gold-
fine played very well also, even
though he ended up losing his
match to Scott Warner, an old friend
from Goldfine’s high school years, 7-
5, 6-4. Kent said losing to Warner
was no shame, as he has one of the
best serves in the collegiate ranks.
Kent also raved about the five-
match format. He said he expected
the four singles-one doubles pro
gram to be officially instituted by the
NCAA in the next couple of years.
He said the advantage to such a
system is mainly in the time saved.
An entire five-match tournament
can be played simultaneously and be
over in an hour or less.
“It’s totally ridiculous to stay out
here three-and-a-half to four hours
to play one match,” Kent said.
He also said the shorter matches
would be easier on the fans, who
might not be willing or able to stay
for three hours or more to see the
entire match.
In other matches, A&M’s Dean-
Johnson defeated John McCauley 6-
2, 6-1, and A&M’s Marcel Vos
downed Mark Johnson 6-2, 6-1.
UNLV’s Lee Rosenthal! defeated
Brent Haygarth 1-6, 6-3, 6-2 to grab
the Rebels’ second victory. The
A&M duo of Shawn O’Donovan and
Steve Kennedy won the doubles
match by beating Mark Coronado
and Crombie Hatfield 6-0, 6-3.
In a match held Sunday at the
Omar Smith Tennis Center, A&M
defeated Wichita State 6-2 to up its
season record to 8-1.
“We’ve had some really hard
matches with them through the
years, and this one was no differ
ent,” Kent said. “We played some
good tennis today.”
In singles action, Vos beat Wichita
State’s Kristofer Braaten 6-4, 6-7, 6-
1, and Goldfine lost to Stefan Su-
thouse 6-4, 6-3. Haygarth was de
feated by Dan Astelin 4-6, 6-4, 6-3
and O’Donovan remained unbeaten
at 9-0 by beating Andy Wintirch 6-4,
6-0. Kennedy also won, beating Ian
Ernstod 6-4, 6-4.
76ers’ Barkley spells defeat
for poor-shooting Rockets
HOUSTON (AP) — Philadelphia
forward Charles Barkley said the
76ers knew they would defeat the
Houston Rockets on Sunday.
“We felt good, we knew we were
going to win this game. Some days it
is just like that,” said Barkley, who
had 14 points and 15 rebounds as
the 76ers snapped a four-game los
ing streak with a 102-97 NBA vic
tory. He also made a key fourth-
quarter assist securing the win.
Philadelphia Coach Matt Guokas
praised Barkley’s performance.
“Barkley’s concentration in the
fourth quarter was as good as I’ve
seen this year,” Guokas said. “In
some games Barkley scores a lot, but
today he got the big rebounds and
made a great assist to (Andrew) To
ney in the last two minutes for a big
basket.”
A stern Philadelphia defense kept
Houston forward Akeem Olajuwon
from scoring in the second quarter
and held the Rockets to 45-percent
shooting from the field.
“They were giving us the outside
shots and we couldn’t hit them,”
Rockets Coach Bill Fitch said.
“You’ve got to be able to penetrate
and drive when they lay of f of you.”
The 76ers, however, had to with
stand a frantic second-half rally by
the Rockets to win.
Center Tim McCormick led Phila
delphia with 26 points, while Mau
rice Cheeks added 17 and Roy Hin
son added 15.
Olajuwon and Rodney McCray
each scored 24 points for Houston.
The Rockets opened the second
half with eight straight points to tie
the game at 57. But the 76ers coun
tered with 11 straight points, led by
Hinson with seven, and led by nine
at the end of the third quarter.
The Rockets rallied to trail by 85-
84 midway through the fourth quar
ter, but two points each down the
stretch by Hinson, Cheeks and To
ney preserved Philadelphia’s victory.
Philadelphia took a 33-24 first-
quarter lead as McCormick scored
12 points.
In the second quarter, reserve for
ward Danny Vranes tossed in 10
points and grabbed five rebounds
for the 76ers. Philadelphia’s defense
held Olajuwon scoreless in the quar
ter, but a 15-point performance by
McCray kept the Rockets close.
SMU alumni
may file suit
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A
Southern Methodist alumnus said
$30,000 has been raised as a legal
war chest to finance a federal law
suit challenging the NCAA’s right
to shut down SMU’s football pro
gram because of recruiting viola
tions, the Sun Antonio Express-
News reported Sunday.
The alumnus, Reid Ryan of
Corpus Christi, Texas, said the
suit could be filed at 9 a.m. Tues
day in Corpus Christi or Dallas.
“We haven’t determined where
is the best place for the suit to be
filed,” Reid said. “A lot of the
Dallas people want it up there.”
NCAA members voted 427-6
in January 1985 for implementa
tion of the so-called death penalty
sanctions for schools found guilty
of major rules violations twice in a
five-year period.
SMU became the first school
hit with the death penalty. SMU
was in the second year of a three-
year probation term when the lat
est penalties came down.
