Aggie men’s tennis
team sweeps UTA
[Texas Ai
The Texas A&M men’s tennis
team got its first win of the season in
fine style at home Tuesday with an
impressive 9-0 victory over the Uni
versity of Texas at Arlington. The
victory gives A&M a 1-4 season re
cord.
Aggie Tennis
• Score:A&M 9, UTA 0.
• Record: 1 win, 4 losses.
• Next match:Thursday vs. North
Texas at the Omar Smith Tennis
Center.
A&M’s top seed Gustavo Espinosa
had no trouble in defeating UTA’s
Joaquin Lopez, posting a 7-5, 7-5 vic
tory, while Aggie second seed Shaun
O’Donovan defeated UTA’s Will
Angus 6-7, 6-2, 6-4.
A&M third seed Matt Zisette
cruised past Wally Devereaux of
UTA, securing a 6-0, 6-2 win, while
fourth seed A&M freshman Doug
Brown was too much for UTA’s
Alex Olaya, posting a similar 6-0, 6-2
victory.
Fifth seed Blake Barsalou of A&M
rallied after a first set loss to defeat
Randy Comacho of UTA 2-6, 6-4, 7-
The return of junior captain Steve
Kennedy to the lineup was a wel
come sight for the injury plagued
Aggies.
Kennedy, who had been out of ac
tion with a leg injury, entered the
lineup in the sixth-seeded position
and rounded out the singles victories
with a 6-2, 7-6 win over UTA’s Chris
Janz.
In doubles action, A&M’s top-
seeded team of Zisette and O’Dono
van defeated Angus and Janz of
UTA 6-2, 7-5, while A&M’s second-
seeded team of Barsalou and Brown
edged out UTA’s Lopez and Olaya
6-4, 4-6, 6-2.
Kennedy and Greg Dyer of A&M
posted a 6-3, 7-6 victory over UTA’s
Devereaux and Comacho in third-
seeded action.
ml 88 No. 1
A&M Head Coach David Kent
said the return of Kennedy to the
lineup helped the team.
“We needed this win to get back
going,” Kent said. “It was good to
have Steve back in the lineup. He
adds leadership and gives the
younger players confidence.”
V
Kent also said that Doug Brown
has become one of the best finds of
the year.

Williams
(Continued from page 9)
was no exception heading into the
seventh as the Aggies were clinging
to a 2-1 lead in a game in which the
cold weather, not to mention 20-mile
E er hour winds, was expected to
eep scoring to a minimum.
“When you have a north wind as
hard as that was blowing you don’t
expect a lot of runs,” A&M Head
Coach Mark Johnson said.
Easley and Williams destroyed
that theory in the big inning.
With one out, right fielder Andy
Duke began the inning with a single
to left and Easley scored him with his
second home run of the year, a shot
over the right field wall.
Left fielder Trey Witte walked
and Williams scoreci him on an im
pressive drive into the teeth of the
wind and over the left field wall to
give A&M a 6-1 cushion.
Williams, who seemed a little sur
prised by the homer, said he knew
the ball nad a chance of leaving the
park, hut he wasn’t sure if the wind
would hold it in.
“I knew the wind was blowing pre
tty hard,” Williams said. “1 knew I
hit it hard. I guess it just kinda sliced
through the wind.
“We knew we just had to go out
and not worry about the weather
and do our best.”
Zastoupil left the hill for the Bear-
kats and was replaced by Jim O’Neal
who was greeted with more of the
same.
Kirk Thompson singled to center
field. He stole second and Terry
Taylor walked. Thompson and Tay
lor, who had two runs batted in on
the day, then worked a double steal
and Thompson scored on a single to
center by Chuck Knoblauch. John
Byington’s sacrifice fly to center
scored Taylor to give A&M the 8-1
margin.
The Aggie winning streak has al
lowed Johnson to use most all of his
players and Williams said the team’s
attitude is improving with each win.
“The good start is really a good
sign,” Williams said. “We’re all hav
ing fun and everybody’s doing their
job.”
Revamped Aggies host
struggling Owls tonight
Shelby Metcalfs Texas Aggies
will attempt extend their winning
streak to five games tonight as
they play host to the Rice Owls.
After going 1-7 in the first half
of Southwest Conference play,
Texas A&M v. Rice

• Where:G. Rollie White Coliseum.
• Radio:The game will be broadcast

tion of Donald Thompson ;od
Ray Little at the forward posi
tions, and a three guard attack
featuring Tony Milton, Freddie
Ricks and David Williams.

Hogs have edge as SWC race heats up
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Arkansas Razorbacks and
Texas Longhorns are deadlocked
for the Southwest Conference bas
ketball lead going into Wednesday
night’s games but the Hogs can take
a half-game lead with a victory over
lowly Baylor.
While the Hogs host Baylor,
Texas will be playing a non-confer
ence game against Miami in Austin.
The Aggies’ 82-71 victory at Col
lege Station coupled with Texas' vi
tal 84-82 victory over Texas Tech in
Lubbock locked Arkansas and Texas
in a 10-3 tie atop the SWC standings.
Arkansas would be the No. 1 seed
in the post-season classic in Dallas if
it is tied with Texas at the end of the
regular season by virtue of two victo
ries over the Longhorns.
Here’s the schedule for Arkansas
and Texas the rest of the way:
ARKANSAS — Baylor Feb. 22
(home), Tulsa (non-conference) Feb.
25 (home), Rice March 1 (away),
Houston March 5 (home).
TEXAS— Miami Feb. 22 (home),
TCU F'eh. 25 (home), SMU Feb. 28
(away), Texas A&M March 4 (away).
Texas definitely has the toughest
of the schedule with road games to
SMU and Texas A&M.
In other games on Saturday, Rice
beat SMU 67-65 behind freshman
Dana Hardy’s 35 points and Texas
Christian regained its grip on to
place with an 82-66 victory ovt
Houston.
TCU is 8-5 while Houston an
Tech are tied for fourth with 6-6n
cords. Texas A&M and SMU
each 5-7 while Rice is 5-8. Baylorn
be at hand during the tournamfi
with a 1 -11 record.

p-
The ninth-ranked Texas A&M
softball team lost both games of a
season-opening doubleheader to the
University of Texas at Arlington,
ranked No. 13, by scores of 5-3 and
2-0 Tuesday in Arlington.
A&M’s Dana Mitchell pitched
both games and was credited with
the losses as A&M lost a season
opener for the first time in this de
cade. It also marks the first time in
the 1980s that an A&M softball team
has given a run in a season-opening
game.
