Lady Aggies hit by
Coogs in five games
By SCOTT WUDEL
Of The Battalion Staff
The Lady Aggies learned another
lesson Wednesday night, and this
one was the hard way.
A&M pushed the University of
Houston to a match lasting over
three hours. The Aggies lost a heart-
breaker 15-10, 12-15, 12-15, 15-7,
13-15. A&M moves to 2-6 in the
Southwest Conference, and 13-16
for the season. UH improves to 5-3
and 14-11.
A crowd of 262 watched the Lady
Aggies stretch every game to the
limit, only to come up empty-
handed.
Three times the Lady Aggies al
lowed Houston to reach game point,
before mounting rallies that would
just come up short.
A&M coach A1 Givens said a win
just wasn’t meant to be for the Ag
gies Wednesday night. Givens said
he was pleased with his team’s deter
mination and effort, but he would
rather be on the winning side for a
change.
“To work so hard, and still come
up empty, is a very small consola
tion,” Givens said.
“You’ve gat to start winning those,
and finding ways to win,” he said.
“And tonight that didn’t happen.
Every now and then I’d just rather
be lucky.”
A&M played only its third five-
game match of the season.
The Lady Aggies were on the
verge of losing the match in the final
game, down 14-8, they decided to
begin their third rally of the match.
Amy Cumings lead an all-out Aggie
attack that sent the Cougars reeling
for five A&M points.
The Lady Aggies used everything
they had,, to try to catch their oppo
nent. A&M’s frontline, which was
the key for the team earlier in the
match, came alive again and
SWC Post-Season
tourney sold out
DALLAS (AP) — The Southwest
Conference Post-Season basketball
Classic, scheduled for March 7-10 at
Reunion Arena, is already a sellout.
The sellout, announced Wednes
day, is the earliest in the 16-year his
tory of the tournament. It also
marks the second straight year for a
pre-tournament sellout. The 1990
tourney was soldout on Jan. 20.
smacked spikes back into the UH
side for sideouts and points.
Fires were lit under Cumings and
Alysia McMath, each one killing im
portant shots when they got the op
portunity. But the team’s efforts
stalled, and finally gave the Cougars
two game points to win. UH grabbed
the victory and ran after an Aggie
was called for ajiet violation.
After dominating the first game
of the match by repeatedly blocking
Cougar spikes, the Lady Aggies
stumbled to loose the next two
games.
In the second game, it took Hous
ton seven game-point opportunities
before it stopped the A&M rally.
The third game was almost a car
bon copy of the one before it, again
UH needed seven opportunities be
fore getting the 15th point.
The Cougars used a power game
to throw off the Aggies after the first
game. Two UH sluggers, Karen Bell
and Latisha Charles, hit hard spikes
into the A&M court. But the Aggie
defense adjusted and fought off the
stinging spikes, and loaded up an ar
senal of their own.
Cumings, McMath, and Elizabeth
Edmiston each had over 40 attack at
tempts, which lead a team that con
verted over 20 percent of those at
tempts. Kim Mitchell was successful
in over a third of her attempts.The
statistic bettered UH’s .188 hitting
percentage.
Givens says he feels for his team
and their hard-fought loss, and
hopes the team will not be discour
aged by their unfortunate luck for
being on the wrong end of the
match.
“We could gain more from this
type of loss, that we could from a
real ugly win,” he said after the
match.
“My philosophy has always been—
If you set your mind to do some
thing, and you encunter a setback,
then you roll up your sleeves and
you just learn from that setback, and
you work even harder.”
Givens says he hopes the team will
do that this Saturday against the Ag
gies next opponent. A&M hosts the
University of Louisville Saturday at
5 p.m.

Take a Closer Look
TU be the first to

are major

not ready to

I believe nature holds

bioremediation, Woodward-

Mavs ‘86’
Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Roy
Tarpley scored 26 points and re
serve forwards Herb Williams
and Alex English combined for
18 in the fourth period as the
Dallas Mavericks defeated the
Philadelphia 76ers 104-101
Wednesday night.
Two free throws by Derek
Harper gave Dallas a 104-99 lead
with 12 seconds left, but Johnny
Dawkins made a layup with three
seconds remaining. Charles Bark
ley intercepted the inbounds pass
deep in the corner, but his 5-
point shot at the buzzer bounced
off the rim as the 76ers lost for
the first time in three games this
season.
Williams had 19 points, while
English and Harper added 18
each for Dallas. Williams and En
glish had nine points each in the
final quarter. Dawkins finished
with 25 points and Barkley 23 for
Philadelphia.
Harper made two free throwns
for an 88-81 lead with 6:13 to
play, but Philadelphia pulled to
96-94 on a jumper by Dawkins at
the 1:41 mark.
Harper hit a jump shot to
make it 98-94 and Rodney Mc
Cray a 3-point shot with 33 sec
onds left to give Dallas a 101-94
lead.
Neither team had more than a
five-point lead in the first half.
Dallas took the lead for good, 50-
49, on a jumper by Tarpley with
1:20 to play in the second period.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — David
Robinson scored a career-high 43
points and Terry Cummings added
31 as the hot-shooting San Antonio
Spurs beat the defenseless Denver

Sean Elliott also had a career-best
29 points and Reggie Williams 22 for
the Spurs (2-0), who shot 63 percent
from the field. Denver shot 57 per
cent.
Winless Denver (0-4), which set an
NBA record with 90 first-half
points, was led by Orlando Wool-
ridge with 37 points. Walter Davis
added 32 points and Todd Lichti 29.
The teams combined for 173
points, the most ever in the first half
of an NBA game, eclipsing by three
the number scored by Golden State
and Denver on Nov. 2. The final to
tal of 314 points was the fifth highest
in league history.
Trailing 90-83 at the half, the
Spurs took control with a 12-0 run
early in the third quarter. Cummings
had six points during the rally.
Denver crept back within 117-114
with 2:08 to go in the third period.
But San Antonio scored 12 of the
next 14 points, Cummings again ac
counting for half of them, to go up
129-116.
The San Antonio lead reached 20
points with 1:47 remaining.
Denver led by as many as 15
points in the second quarter as Davis
and Woolridge hit consistently from
long range. Woolridge had 27 points
by halftime and Davis 24. Denver
shot 68.5 percent from the field in
first half.
The Spurs, who shot 65.4 percent
in the first two periods, got 23 first-
half points from Robinson, includ
ing 17 in the second quarter. Elliott
had 20 points by intermission, half
of them on dunks.
Denver’s 48 first-quarter points
matched a record for a San Antonio
opponent.

scoreboard complete with the
running time flashed upon the
screen. Just a sign of more to come.
Perhaps the most impressive
aspect of NBC’s takeover is it’s
schedule-maker.
Gone are the days of Celtic-Laker
basketball. Well, at least for the most
part. True, the two teams dominated
the majority of the 80’s, but there
are 25 other teams in the league, and
it is time to recognize them.
The NBA is experiencing parity.
No longer are a few teams
dominating the rest of the league,
and this network realizes it.
Besides the traditional top dogs,
NBC has scheduled a slew of teams
that an NBA fan isn’t accustomed to
seeing on network television.
This season many teams will make
at least two appearances on national
TV. Western Conference powers
Phoenix, Portland, San Antonio,
Utah, and Golden State will
compete. Eastern Conference teams
like Atlanta and Indiana will join
Chicago, Detroit, New York,
Philadelphia, and Cleveland, who
have all had brief stints on CBS.
These teams make up just half of
the league, and before NBC’s four-
year contract with the league
expires, other promising teams will
bear their names on the big screen.
