Experience.
That word sums up the Canadian
national women’s basketball team’s
90-62 win over the 18th-ranked
Texas A&M Lady Aggies Monday
night at G. Rollie White Coliseum.
Texas A&M Coach Lynn Hickey
said, “We got beat by a very experi
enced team. I am glad this one
doesn’t count.
“They have been playing together
all summer and this is the end of
their season. They probably have 30
games under their belt as a team,
while this is our first game.”
A&M played even with the Ca
nadians for the first three minutes,
but then the bottom dropped out.
Team Canada went on a 26-6 run
over the next 13 minutes. A&M
failed to score for almost seven min
utes.
Canada’s run was fueled by sloppy
play from the Aggies, who com
mitted 17 turnovers in the first half.
Canada committed seven.
“We came out in the first half
scared to death of this team and we
played like it,” Hickey said. “If you
take out that scoring drought we
had, we are right back in the ball
game.”
A&M made a small run at Canada
and pulled to within 17 points right
before the end of the half.
A&M started the second half
strong. A&M shot 46 percent in the
half — a big improvement from the
32.1 percent they shot in the first
half.
Canada was led by guard Carol
Hamilton with 20 points. Post Chan-
tal St. Martin had 18 points, and
guard Jodi Evans added 16 points.
Canada shot 57 percent from the
field for the game.
“They spread you out and force
you to guard them one on one,”
Hickey said about the Canadians.
“We didn’t play defense. We stood
around and were standing straight
up. They went right by us.”
A&M was lead by senior guard
Donna Roper with 14 points. Fresh
men Dena Russo and LaTanya Ir
ving each added 10.
“Our young players really played
outstanding,” Hickey said. “I was
glad to see that because we have
been talking all summer about how
good our recruiting class was, and
they showed it tonight.
“It has to make you wonder if
some of our first-year players should
be starting, but Only time will tell.
Hickey said she didn’t think the
loss would hurt the team.
“We needed to be awakened, and
we were,” she said. “It is nice to be
ranked, but you still have to work
hard, and this game helped us make
our point with the players.
A&M’s next game will be against
the University of Texas-Arlington at
G. Rollie White Coliseum Nov. 25
during the two-day Lady Aggie Clas
sic.
The Canadian national team plays
the University of Texas tonight in
Austin, which is the second stop on a
ten-game tour of the southern
United States.
Duke starts at No. 1
as basketball begins
Associated Press
Duke, a Final Four team two of
the last three seasons, was named the
No. 1 team Monday in the Asso
ciated Press’ preseason college bas
ketball poll.
The Blue Devils, who finished
fifth in the final regular-season poll
last season and went on to the Final
Four and a semifinal loss to eventual
champion Kansas, received 33 first-
place votes and easily outdistanced
No. 2 Georgetown, which had eight
first-place votes.
Duke, which last held the top
ranking over the final three polls of
the 1985-86 season — another in
which it reached the Final Four —
finished with 1,257 points from the
nationwide panel of sportswriters
and broadcasters, well ahead of the
Hoyas’ 1,107.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski
wasn’t overly pleased at being No. 1.
“If you’re ranked very high early,
there’s a tendency to think you’ve al
ready accomplished something, and
you really haven’t accomplished any
thing,” he said.
Michigan, Louisville and Okla
homa — another Final Four team
from last season — rounded out the
Top Five in a voting that showed the
quick turns of the fortunes of colle
giate basketball programs.
Five teams from last season’s final
poll — Purdue, Kentucky, Bradlt
Wyoming and Xavier, Ohio—di
not even receive a vote in the press
son balloting and another, Kansj
State, got just one.
Kansas, which wasn’t expected
fare that well following the gradm
tion of Danny Manning, the NBA
No. 1 draft choice and the plase
most responsible for the Jayhawt
title. However, a three-year probi
tion for recruiting violations
handed down to Kansas and theJ»
hawks will not defend their title
the NCAA tournament.
Nine of the teams in the press
son poll, including Georgetowi
were unranked in the final p
last season.
Eight teams received first
votes and 51 of the 293 Division
teams eligible for receiving void
did.
Michigan received four first-
votes and 1,090 points, 74 morethu
Louisville, which got seven No.
votes. Oklahoma had nine first-plan
votes and 1,001 points.
North Carolina was sixth will
three No. 1 selections and
points, just four more than low

Hershiser sweeps to All-Star honors;
Pitcher 1 of few NL players on team
NEW YORK (AP) — Orel
Hershiser of the Los Angeles Dodg
ers threw another shutout Monday,
when he was picked unanimously as
the right-handed pitcher on the
1988 Associated Press Major League
All-Star team.
Hershiser, the 1988 National
League Cy Young Award winner
and Most Valuable Player of the NL
playoffs and the World Series, re
ceived 165 points from a nationwide
panel of writers and broadcasters.
No other right-handers received
votes.
Third baseman Wade Boggs of
Boston and relief pitcher Dennis
Eckersley of Oakland were nearly
unanimous selections. Boggs re
ceived 155 points at third and Gary
Gaetti of the Twins got nine, the
only other players to receive votes.
Eckersley beat John Franco of Cin
cinnati by a similar 155-9 margin.
The American League dominated
the AP team, filling eight of 12 spots,
including all three in the outfield.
Alan Trammell of Detroit was
picked as the shortstop, Frank Viola
of Minnesota as the left-handed
starter and Paul Molitor of Milwau
kee as the designated hitter.
Jose Canseco of Oakland, Kirby
Puckett of Minnesota and Mike
Greenwell of Boston are the out
fielders. Puckett was named to the
team for the third straight year.
National Leaguers picked were
first baseman Will Clark of San
Francisco, second baseman Ryne
Sandberg of the Chicago Cubs,
catcher Benito Santiago of San
Diego and Hershiser. Santiago last
year became the first rookie named
an AP All-Star.
There were three close races.
Clark, who led the NL in runs batted
in with 109 and was tied for third in
homers with 29, got 58 votes, eight
more than Montreal’s Andres Galar
raga. Clark displaced Don Mattingly
of the New York Yankees, who had
been the first baseman from 1984-
87.
Sandberg beat Cleveland’s Julio
Franco 37-29 at second and Santiago
beat California’s Bob Boone 39-32 at
catcher. Santiago hit .248 with
homers and 46 RBI.
The outfield voting was a rut
away for the three Americn
Leaguers. Canseco got 149 vote
Puckett 131 and Greenwdl
Kirk Gibson of Los Angeles was nes
