Brown figured in two of the three match victories for A&M against Ar kansas, winning his singles and dou bles matches. “The key today was to keep the ball in play and frustrate my oppo nent,” Brown said. “I’m a freshman and I don’t feel any pressure. I’m having fun playing tennis and trying to help out the team.” Matt Zissette and Barsalou also posted singles victories for the Ag gies. No. 3 Zisette defeated SMU’s Scott Robertson 6-4, 6-4 while Barsa lou overcame a first-set loss to Mus tang Jamie Malakoff for a 3-6, 7-6, 6-1 win. A&M Coach David Kent said he was pleased with the performance of Brown and Barsalou. “I need to brag on my two fresh men,” he said. “Doug Brown is un believable and Blake came through for us in the clutch.
