By Steven Merritt
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
The Texas A&M women’s tennis
team rebounded from a conference
loss to Texas on Wednesday with a
vengeance while the Aggie men con
tinued to struggle as the A&M tennis
teams continued their Southwest
Conference schedules over the
weekend.
The Lady Aggies improved their
conference record to 5-2 and season
record to 13-9 with weekend victo
ries at home over Texas Christian
and Texas Tech.
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

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.
Roy Mackenzie led the Aggies in
dividually with a 218 total for fifth
place. A second round 68 high
lighted Mackenzie’s tournament.
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.
