The Lady Aggies defeated TCU 7-2 on Saturday and blanked Tech 9-0 in Sunday’s match. The A&M men weren’t as fortu nate on the road, as the Aggies lost 9-0 to TCU and dropped a 5-3 con test to Texas Tech. The men now stand 7-12 overall and 0-4 in SWC action. Gustavo Espinoza and Doug Brown notched the only singles wins for A&M in the men’s team’s loss to the Red Raiders. Espinoza, A&M’s No. 3 seed, defeated Tech’s Nathan Richey 6-3, 3-6 and 7-5 and Brown, A&M’s No. 5 seed, topped Tech’s John Sullivan in straight sets, 6-4 and 6-1. Espinoza teamed with Craig Whit- teker to pick up A&M’s only win in doubles play against Tech as the duo defeated Tech’s William Dopson and Charles Bailey by scores of 6-3 and 6-4. The Lady Aggies’ Sunday match was highlighted by the play of soph omore Traci Nix, who fought back from a 5-0 deficit in the third set of her sixth-seeded match with Tech’s Tonya Hamilton to win 0-6, 6-3, 7-5. A&M top-seed Lisa Keller de feated Tech’s Mallory Grantham 6- 3, 6-1 in a match that saw Keller use placement shots effectively, keeping Grantham off balance and prevent ing her from establishing her game. Susan Williams defeated Tech s FROM STAFF & WIRE REPORTS HOUSTON — The Texas A&M men’s golf team struggled to a 12th- place finish at the All-America Inter collegiate Invitational Golf Cham pionships which ended Saturday at Bear Creek Golf World. Texas won the team title with a score of 869, ahead of Oklahoma State and Louisiana State, who tied for second with a total of 884. The Aggies finished at 910, just behind Arkansas’ team total of 907. Houston was the only other SWC team finishing ahead of A&M. The Cougars were sixth with a total of 898. Arizona’s Robert Gamez took the medalist title with a three-round to tal of 209. He finished ahead of Houston’s Greg Cox, Arkansas’ Chad Magee and Zorn Zorkic of Houston who all tied for second with a 217. Jamie McCaffery 6-1, 6-1 in the sec ond-seeded match, while third- seeded Robyn Mawdsley took a 6-4, 6-0 win from Tech’s Rebecca Neva rez. Mawdsley established her net game early in the second set, keep ing Nevarez on the base line to se cure the win. A&M fourth-seed Cindy Church- well defeated Tech’s Amy Ryan 6-0, 6-0 while fifth-seeded Lynn Staley also shut out her opponent, Tech’s Karen Biggerstaff, 6-0, 6-0. The top-seeded doubles pairing of Keller and Mawdsley got off to a slow start in the early games of their match with Tech’s Grantham and McCaffery, but settled down to take the 6-4, 6-3 victory. Mawdsley’s strong first serve cou pled with Keller’s strong net play and excellent placement shots proved to be the difference for the Lady Aggies. A&M’s second-seeded team of Churchwell and Staley also stumbled in the early games of their match with Tech’s Biggerstaff and Hamil ton before pulling out a 6-2, 6-4 win while the third-seeded pairing of Derryn Haygarth and Williams won a 6-0, 7-5 contest over Tech’s Neva rez and Ryan. Haygarth showed excellent racket control around the net, while Wil liams won many points with a strong forehand return. Lady Aggie Head Coach Bobby Kleinecke said the win would hope fully give the team momentum as it heads toward the conference tour nament. “We came out and took care of business today,” Kleinecke said. “We’ve got one conference match left against Baylor and if we have the same kind of showing there, hope fully it will help us going into the conference tournament.” Both the Aggie men and women continue SWC play Tuesday with matches against Baylor. The men’s team hosts the Bears at 1:30 p.m. at the Omar Smith Tennis Center while the women’s team travels to Waco for a 1:30 p.m. match.

Other Aggie golfers included Randy Lee, who shot a three-round total of 228, Andy Cooper (231), Bobby Gee (233) and Mark Miller (245). A&M Head Coach Bob Ellis was satisfied with Mackenzie’s tourna ment but disappointed with the team as a whole. “I really liked Roy’s performan ce,” Ellis said. “He’s right back where he should be. 1 am disappointed with the way the other golfers did. We hope to make some corrections for the conference tournament this week.” The Southwest Conference Championship Tournament is this weekend at Columbia Lakes in West Columbia. The tournament starts Friday with play ending Sunday.
