SPORTS WRITER
The Texas A&M women’s tennis
team scored a double win over the
weekend with victories over the Uni
versity of New Mexico and Louisiana
State University. The Lady Aggies
defeated New Mexico Friday 7-2 on
the strength of their singles play.
Junior Lisa Keller led the way
with a 6-4, 6-0 triumph over the
Lady Lobo’s number two singles
player, Jennifer Terry. Number one
singles player Susan Williams was
defeated by New Mexico’s Chris
Hoffer 6-3, 6-3. Williams had just re
turned to the top spot for the New
Mexico match.
The remaining singles players,
Cindy Churchwell, Lynn Staley, Ro
byn Mawdsley and Jennifer Jones all
won their matches for A&M.
In doubles action, the team of
Keller and Mawdsley was defeated
by Hoffer and Wilson 6-0, 7-6. But
the Lady Aggies rebounded, win
ning the remaining two doubles
matches.
Churchwell and Staley dropped
the first set but regrouped to win, 4-
6, 6-2, 6-0 over the Lady Lobo tan
dem of Bred and Toomey. Derryn
Haygarth and Williams combined to
defeat Look and Sandberg of New
Mexico in straight sets, 6-1,6-1.
After the blowout on Friday the
Lady Aggies found themselves in a
hole against LSU. Keller played the
number one singles position and de
feated the Lady Tigers’ Jana Garri
son 7-6, 7-5. Williams had an easier
time against the number two seed
from LSU, Patricia Minnis, as she
cruised 6-2, 6-3.
The Lady Tigers claimed the rest
of the singles matches to assume a 4-
2 advantage going into the doubles.
The Lady Aggies responded with
authority, sweeping all three doubles
matches in straight sets. Haygarth
and Williams downed Young and
Todorovic of LSU 6-2, 6-1 to garner
the first doubles win. Churchwell
and Stalev combined for a 6-4, 6-2
victory over Minnis and Herrera to
notch the second doubles victory
that brought the match to a tie. Kel
ler and Mawdsley slammed the final
nail in LSU’s coffin, 6-3, 6-3 over
Garrison and Homedes.
It was a win Coach Bobby Kiel-
necke was relieved to pull out.
“We can’t play singles any worse
and expect to win,” he said. “We
need more than just the number one
and two to win because depth is our
strength.
“They (LSU) expected us to lost
more than they had to win it.”

Sunday’s 14-2 win over Louisiana
Tech not only gave the Texas A&M
baseball team a three-game sweep of
the Bulldogs, it gave the club an
unblemished 13-0 record and one of
the best starts in Aggie history
The weekend series, which the
Aggies swept 11-4, 12-9 and 14-2,
dropped Louisiana Tech’s record to
1-5.
Game one of the series saw a bal
anced A&M offensive attack that
pounded Bulldog pitching for 11
runs and 12 hits, five of which were
home runs. The Aggies scored in
each inning at the plate en route to
the 11-4 victory on Saturday.
A&M’s biggest scoring inning
came in the three-run fourth,high-
Freshman pitcher Dana Mitchell
performed flawlessly to lead ninth-
ranked Texas A&M to the
championship of the Louisiana Clas
sics Softball Tournament in La
fayette, La., over the weekend.
A&M won all five games it played
in the tournament in boosting its
season record to 5-2 as Mitchell
highlighted the tournament with a
no-hitter in the Aggies’ 7-0 semi-fi
nal win over Southern Mississippi.
The tournament consisted of a
round-robin format for the first day
in which the Aggies played and won

lighted by first baseman Terry Tay
lor’s two-out home run.
Taylor, who went 2-for-4 with
four runs batted in, cleaned the base
paths with a three-run shot over the
centerfield wall increasing the A&M
lead to 7-0. The home run was Tay
lor’s second of the day and his fifth
of the year.
Taylor wasn’t alone in home run
production for the Aggies, as right
fielder Andy Duke, third baseman
John Byington and catcher Eric Al
bright contributed some spectacular
hitting.
Byington picked up his second
home run of the year, also a solo hit,
in the third inning as he crushed a 2-
1 pitch from Tech’s Dave Brennan
over the Southwest Conference logo
in straightaway center. Byington was
a perfect 3-for-3 with 2 runs batted
in.
In Mitchell’s no-hitter, her first as
a collegian, she narrowly missed a
perfect game with only a walk in the
sixth inning preventing her from
completely shutting down USM.
For the tourney, Mitchell picked
up all five wins for A&M while allow
ing only one unearned run, 15 hits
and nine walks in 41 innings. Mitch
ell struck out 18 hitters.
Mitchell earned most valuable
player honors for the tournament
plus the praise of A&M Head Coach
Bob Brock.
“I’m really proud of Dana,” Brock
said. “She worked hard this weekend
and deserves the most valuable
player award.”
Mitchell joined four other Aggies
on the all-tournament team.
Center fielder Erin Newkirk,
right fielder Stacey Crainer, short
stop Renee Blaha and first baseman
Carrie Heightley were the other Ag
gies named to the team.
Brock also praised freshman left
fielder Stephanie Schulte for her of
fensive production. Schulte posted
seven runs batted in and had one
triple.
“Everyone is hitting well right
now, especially Stephanie,” Brock
said. “We’ve got lots of work to go
but we’ve made great strides. We’re
looking forward to our home-open
ing doubleheader this Wednesday
against Southwest Texas State.”
Pat Sweet went the distance as the
A&M starter, working seven innings
and giving up four earned runs on
six hits. The junior from South Gate,
Calif., walked one and struck out
(me to get the victory, bringing his
record to 3-0. Brennan got the loss.
Sweet helped the Aggie defense
throughout the game by keeping the
his pitches low, allowing A&M in-
fielders to turn two double plays and
handle many routine ground balls.
“1 concentrated on keeping the
ball down throughout the game,
Sweet said. “If 1 do keep it down,
most of the time I can get myself out
of an inning with ground halls and
double plays like today.”
Freshman Ronnie Allen got the
start in game two but ran into trou
ble early in the first, as the Bulldogs
collected five runs on six hits and
two walks.
Allen was replaced by senior
right-hander Anthony DeLaCruziu
the second, as Tech scored two more
runs in the inning to make the score
7-0.
The A&M offense responded by
scoring eight runs in the bottom of
the second in an inning that was
highlighted by Duke’s second home
run of the year, an opposite field
two-run shot over the right field wall,
The Aggies picked up three more
in the third anti one in the seventhto
take the 12-9 victory.
DeLaCruz got the win, giving up
one run on two hits while striking
out two in 3 2/3 innings of work. The
win improves his record to 3-0
Sophomore reliever Steve Hughes
picked up the save, his second,on!
1/3 innings of work.
Sunday’s finale was another of
fensive show' for the Aggies, as the
team scored 12 runs in the sixthand
seventh innings to coast to a 14-2
win.
Kirk Thompson led the Aggies at
the plate, going 4-for-4 with one run
batted in. Thompson just missed hit
ting for t he cycle, needing a honit
run to complete the perfect day at
the plate.
Senior Keith Langston picked up
the win, allowing no runs ononehtt
while striking out one, bringing hit
record to 2-0.
A&M Head Coach Mark Johnson
said he was pleased with the teaitii

“All of our guys played extremely
well,” Johnson said. “They showed
confidence at the plate. Kiri
Thompson got us started (in the
third game) and hitting is conta
gious.”
