Lady Ags defeated
by Tech in overtime
Siebert leads Lady Raiders
The Texas A&M Lady Aggies suf
fered a tough 71-68 overtime loss to
Texas Tech Tuesday in Lubbock in
a game which saw the team shoot less
than 40 percent from the field.
The loss gives the Lady Aggies a
16-10 overall record, 8-7 in confer
ence play going into the Texas game
on Saturday.
A&M fell behind early and never
led in the contest, but pulled even
with Tech at 38 with a Sheri Dillard

layup with 12:03 remaining in the
second half.
Tech pulled away again after the
tie, leading by as many as eight be
fore the determined Lady Aggies
knotted the score again at 64 on a
Donna Roper eight footer that sent
the game into overtime.
“The young group that we went
with at the end of the game did a
greatjob,” A&M Coach Lynn Hickey
said.
Tech controlled the overtime pe
riod, led by a Karen Farst three-
pointer that put the Lady Raiders up
by three 67-64, with 4:33 remaining
in the period.
Stacey Siebert made two foul shots
with 2:27 remaining to increase the
Tech lead to five before A&M soph
omore forward Diane DeCree hit a
five footer to cut the lead to three at
69-66.
A Dillard layup with nine seconds
left cut the Lady Raider lead to one
at 69-68 before Dillard was forced to
foul Tech’s Farst.
Farst hit both free throws to end
the scoring and the game at 71 -68.
Roper led the scoring for the
Lady Aggies with 22 points, followed
by senior Lisa Jordon, who contrib
uted 13 points and 11 rebounds.
Tech had three players in double
figures, led by Siebert’s 26 points
and 23 rebounds, which were the
most against the Lady Aggies this
season in both categories. Teresa
McMillian and Reena Lynch contrib
uted 14 and 10 points respectively.
A&M’s biggest problem of the
contest came in shooting percentage,
a the Lady Aggies shot 35 percent
(26 of 75) from the floor, well below
their season average.
Hickey said the team looked great
in Houston, but weren’t as polished
in Lubbock.
“Tech played well,” Hickey said.
“But we had a horrendous shooting
night.
“Concentration was definitely a
factor, but the kids played with
heart,” Hickey said. “And sometimes
that makes up for a difference in
ability.”
Hickey said the next step was to
get ready for the season finale
against Texas, a contest for which
she would use the same game plan.

four bases to lead top-ranked and

Aggie Baseball
• Score:Texas A&M 3-11,
Lamar 1-3.
• Record: 15-0.
• Ranking:First.
• Next game:Friday vs. Central
Michigan.
The Aggies won the first game
3-1 and dominated the second
game (1 1-3) in running their re
cord to 15-0 on the year.
Aggie starting pitcher Scott
Centala picked up the win in the
first game. He worked four in
nings and allowed only two hits
while battling a stomach virus
which plagued him prior to the
game.
“I got a couple of good pitches
today,” Knoblauch said. “I
haven’t gotten many this season.”
Knoblauch stole home to give
the Aggies a 2-1 lead in the third
inning of the first game after tra
iling 1-0. Second baseman Terry
Taylor began the winning rally
with a game-tying home run (his
sixth of the year) and Knoblauch
singled. Knoblauch advanced to
second on a fly out by John
Byington and stole third base be
fore swiping home on a planned
play by A&M Head Coach Mark
Johnson.
“(The steal of home) was a set
play," Johnson said. “The pitcher
had a slow motion and we tried to
set the tempo and be aggressive.”
Ronnie Allen picked up the
win for A&M in the nightcap
romp as Knoblauch led the Ag
gies again by going three-for-four
and highlighting a five-run
fourth with a bases-clearing dou
ble. Knoblauch collected a total of
five runs batted in during the sec
ond game.

Distractions are ruining spring training Lej
The major league baseball season is just weeks
away and the talk of the league is not about
championships and contenders. Everyone’s
talking about record salaries and sex scandals.
Welcome to “As The League Turns,” that 162-
game soap opera on the diamond.
The most talked about off-field story is the
exploits of Boston’s Wade Boggs and his former
traveling companion, Margo Adams.
In an article in Penthouse magazine, Adams
paints a unsportsmanlike of Boggs. Adams said
Boggs would avoid sex before games and once
told her not to wear panties to the ballpark. This
after finding out that on a day when he went 4
for 5, she hadn’t worn any underwear to the
game.
Adams is suing Boggs for six million dollars.
She claims Boggs promised to pay her for lost
wages if she traveled to away games with him.
She also claims to have gone on 64 road trips with
Boggs. Boggs was married at the time of these
road trips.
However, the most damaging remarks Adams
has made on about Boggs concern his views on
fellow players.
Adams said Boggs made several racist remarks
about teammate Jim Rice, who is black, and
Boggs felt like pitcher Roger Clemens acted like
“Mr. Perfect”.
Adams also described in detail the sex lives of
her and Boggs and several other players, whom
she did not identify.
Now we go from the sex world to the money
market.
Orel Hershiser cashed in on his Cy Young
award and his 58-inning scoreless streak to die
tune ol $7.9 million over the next three years.
He is not alone. There are 21 players who will
make at least two million this year and another8’
who will make at least one million.
This is not exactly the best way to start a
season.
Boston manager Joe Morgan has stated that he
will not become involved in the incident unless it
affects his team.
Teammate Dennis “Oil Can” Boyd, who is
black, has publicly critized Boggs for the
incident. Boyd stated that when he had problems
last year he had to apologize to the team. Boggs
also apologized to the team.
Hershiser has put himself on the spot. As the
highest paid player in the league he has to
produce or else. Los Angeles will never trade
him, hut the fans will demand perfection. It is
also interesting to note that the Dodgers tookthf
gamble on Hershiser having as good a vearfor
better) than last year, despite the fact that no
National League Cy Young winner has repeatedl
in years.
So there you have it. Spring training has never]
been so lively. At least not as racy. Normally the
talk is of pennants and who to watch. This year
the talk is of who is sleeping with whom and how
much the guy at the end of the bench is making

Boyd was also upset because there was talk of
banning him from the league because of his
temper and there is no such talk with Boggs, who
Boyd has called a sex fiend.
Sounds like it might be affecting your team,
Joe.
Hopefully the players can clean up thereactirj
